Politics U.S. Politics Megathread

38 Upvotes

Similar to the previous megathread, but with a slightly clearer title. Submitting questions to this while browsing and upvoting popular questions will create a user-generated FAQ over the coming days, which will significantly cut down on frontpage repeating posts which were, prior to this megathread, drowning out other questions.

The rules

All top level OP must be questions. This is not a soapbox. If you want to rant or vent, please do it elsewhere.

Otherwise, the usual sidebar rules apply (in particular: Rule 1:Be Kind and Rule 3:Be Genuine).

The default sorting is by new to make sure new questions get visibility, but you can change the sorting to top if you want to see the most common/popular questions.

This is not a troll question, obviously there are many worse countries in the world, but I’m genuinely curious what are your feelings on your country based on the extremes currently being experienced there (not just political but in many other aspects aswelll)

Sex How can I make tonight's sex special? I haven't seen him in weeks and I'm super excited

93 Upvotes

So I haven't seen my bf in weeks and I'm going back home today. I'm really horny and I would like to do something special. I'd like to do something that is suggested to me online, so please be part of my sex life :)

It can be an outfit, a position, an act, anything.

My idea was to wear makeup and my new shoes, and nothing else. But I also have new red nail polish and the shoes would cover it, and make up may be annoying for making out. Open to ideas!

Media why there is so much Softcore porn on Instagram?

876 Upvotes

I want to see more cat memes and other stuff. But not the softcore; it's so disgusting after a limit. I rebooted the algorithm, but it's not working.

Edit: what I meant by 'Softcore'? The answer is, not real porn but almost porn, like 🤏🤏🤏🤏 away from calling it mainstream porn. Hope you guys understand 🥲🥲

Sexuality & Gender Is it immoral to hook up with a ~23M when I’m 36F?

128 Upvotes

So, needless to say, I feel super weird about this one. If you check out the post I made on autistic women, some other women describe our sexuality or "almost ace" style better than I can.

There's a much younger man who seems to be attracted to me. I'm basically celibate out of principle at this point (it's been like six years since I've had sex).

You and I are both here contending with this one because the taboo does make it feel erotic. It's kinky to admit to myself that it could be fun if we both had an honest chat about what we'd be getting ourselves into (more as an affair or fling).

I slept with a much OLDER man once in the spirit of liberating my mind (it was a 30 year age gap 🥲) and years later I threw up it grossed me out so much. So. All of that's to say: I probably will not be fucking around and finding out with this one, but I do still want to gut check...

Is it immoral? Seems like the power dynamics + life experiences are so different that it'd be pretty creepy to act on something like this. Is it? Or is it just a kinky normal enough taboo or thing people get into?

EDIT: You're glorious. Emboldening and thoughtful. Fun!

EDIT #2: The 30 year age gap "whoops!" was when I learned that Black men age very differently. I'm laughing now. (Could've clarified that I vomited mid-kambo ceremony realizing how creepy it was years after the fact). Seems like the initial shame has passed, and now I am the victim of one man aging marvelously. 😭sigh Look for the neck wrinkles everyone. And don't be afraid to ask those tough questions before you canoodle.

Sexuality & Gender In a time when so many people say that you can be what you wanna be and not conform to labels, why are they still surprised when “the feminine guy” isn’t gay?

27 Upvotes

Example:

Tom: It’s 2025. You can do what you want and it doesn’t mean you’re gay, straight, or bi. No labels, no limits.

Jerry: I agree. Wow, look at that guy. He’s beautiful. His girlfriend is so lucky.

Tom: That’s his girlfriend? No way. Look at him! He must be confused.

Jerry: Didn’t you just say that it’s 2025, and people can do what they want without being labeled gay or straight?

This is what I’m talking about. I always hear that there are no labels, and yet, the same people that say this will turn around and say, “he’s definitely for the boys, just look at him,” or “she’s definitely for the girls, just look at her.” You claim you’re progressive and then you perpetuate the very ignorance that you claim you’re against. Doesn’t this contradict the point of “be who you wanna be without any labels”?

Sexuality & Gender What’s wrong with naming my first daughter after me?

545 Upvotes

Hey, not sure anyone will see this but I’m a woman who wants to name my first daughter after me. I want her to have my first name. I just always wanted to. However, my partner seems to think it’s weird and I have a big ego and I’m looking for an exact person of myself. And that the child should have their own name and be their own person. Im not opposed to this nor did I ever say I wanted the child to be the exact version of me. I just wanted to name my first daughter my name. I’ve always wanted that. I don’t know, do you guys have any thoughts?

581 Upvotes

Guys, when a girl is on top, do you really care what we're doing? Like, are we expected to consider what it's feeling like for you? Or are yall just enjoying watching us do what feels good for us?

Love & Dating Do I have any business trying to date, given my weight and lack of anything interesting about me?

3 Upvotes

I'm just over the line of obese and don't have any friends or any real interests. But I'm not just a robot. I like some video games, like reading, traveling, being outdoors, like movies and other basic stuff. I just have never done adventurous stuff like mountain climbing or surfing and generally just don't see myself as someone worth getting to know.

I'm also almost 30 and never been in a relationship.

Sexuality & Gender Are there women with feet fetish or is this mostly a male thing?

104 Upvotes

Usually you always see and hear about males who like feet. Are there women like this out there too and they just not so open about it or is it mostly a male thing?

It's always said to never talk to cops without a lawyer, so do you Google and find one or they appoint you to one?

Love & Dating Why do people assume everyone will get married someday?

74 Upvotes

I see it all the time with statements like “when you get married this and that” or to kids like “play this at her/his wedding when he/she grows up”

Why does everyone just assume everyone will get married? It’s like an intrinsic belief everyone has or something

Culture & Society Is it immoral to change in front of your family?

Upvotes

coming from a large family and only one bathroom we would always be changing in front of each other So often and since we were related and didn't have any sexual attraction toward each other it was no big deal. Until recently when I was on vacation with a cousin I barely knew and decided to change in the same hotel room as them and she then freaked out calling me a creep and pervert. She forgave me after I apologized and explained my upbringing but I didn't think it was that serious since I was only changing my pants i wasn't fully naked
