For the males:

Could you imagine being in a relationship with a woman who takes on the “masculine role,” i.e. taking you out, taking initiative, being the breadwinner, protecting you, etc?

Asking because I’ll forever be searching for a man who wants this type of relationship. I don’t know. Reversed roles are sexy, sue me.

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I promise a lot of men want this.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. There would certainly be some friction points, but I'd much rather take care of my home and family instead of working.

[–] Skydancer@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. My partner and I have traded those roles more than once.

I'm okay with this as long as the attitude is loving and not demeaning. But I'd probably need her to be okay with it being a level playing field, and her being fine with me leading when I feel I need to.

I was once in a relationship with a woman who didn't know how to hand off the reigns. It was tiring. But I'd love to date someone who is confident enough to switch roles whenever each other needs to.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes and it sounds pretty good to me, although I'd draw the line at pegging 🫠

Yeah there's one that I've wondered for a while now. Awhile back, I found out that women don't have prostates but they can still feel pleasure from that hole. How can they feel pleasure from that hole if they don't have a prostate?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There’s lots of nerves there. Gotta relax and it’s different but can be good. It’s definitely a collaborative effort.

Ladies, I'm partially physically disabled, stuck laying down 80% of the time, and rarely ever leave a home. Still in my 30's, but actually fit and don't look half bad by most accounts. However, I'll never get better physically. If there is someone out there for everyone, who is out there for me? Can you convince me to believe you, as I'm totally resigned to solitude.

I'm a lesbian and my partner is also partially disabled. She manages her conditions but as far as we know, it's as good as it will get. (I have chronic issues too but I am typically mobile.)

We like to game together. We watch movies together. She also games with her friends and I go out and do other more physically demanding activities with my own friends. We like to discover new food and talk about politics.

We found that our sense of humor and morality aligns well and we enjoy each other's company. That and the fact that she was independent drew me to her.

Good luck out there.

You might be able to meet someone in a MMORPG. If not the escapism of creating a character and exploring a new world could be appealing.

Yes. I'm a guy, and I would love to get a girl's take on this.

Do you think Fermi's "Great Filter" is not necessarily that a civilization destroys itself, but that it discovers a way to destroy the Universe?

Like, maybe the fabric of our reality is more fragile than we realize, and the reason we don't see "aliens" is that the universe doesn't get old enough for intelligent life to meet.

Of course, this assumes we are in a statistically "average" Universe, since presumably there could be a Universe in which intelligent life co-evolves within the same solar system.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Personally, I think you're really close to the answer but with an important distinction. The great filter is an hyper aggressive species that does not want to deal with a potential cold war with a different species with technology as advanced as their own. They already launched their doomsday armageddon weapon at us after detecting our existence, probably from something like our farthest satille, Voyager 1.

It could take generations for the bomb heading to our sun or stealth asteroid heading directly for us to actually connect. But it's arguably in their best interest not to even chance us becoming militarily on par with them.

Statistically there is alien life out there somewhere, and whichever one got to interplanetary weapons first would have everything to lose by allowing an equal to exist.

My question for you is, why do you want a female perspective on this? Idk, doesn't seem like something that gender would effect.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No offense intended, but do you identify as male? I can't even be having this conversation if you do.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

😂

I do not. Heck, the thread is about asking the other sex, I wouldn't have answered if I was a dude.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Phew okay. In that case, I do agree that a hyper-aggressive species could be the Filter, though it's worth noting that our radio signals have actually reached further than our furthest probe, so I would go off that when doing round-trip destruction calculations. I love Mass Effect's take on this idea (though I haven't played 3).

As for why I asked women: Mostly because I thought the non-sequitur was funny.

Male here. Is it true that sometimes farts unexpectedly head north and get lost in the caverns of the bubblegum forest?

[–] Kattiydid@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lost is a bit strong, it goes exploring and is politely but firmly removed by the kegal Captains.

All my questions can't really be answered by just asking another person. I wanna know what it feels like to have their plumbing. Words aren't enough though. I want to experience it. At least for a day.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why don't some of you high five me when I get drunk? When I'm drunk enough, I highfive EVERYONE on the street! Never been high five rejected by a guy on the bar crawl, and some women are happy to high five.......but some get defensive, and reserved, like they think my hand is poison!

Y U NO HIGH FIVE???

How do I show interest in a pretty girl next to a girl who isn't without making the not-pretty girl sad?

I'm a guy.

Question: on several intimate occasions with more than a few partners I have notice partners will cup my pecks..

It makes me feel self-conscious and would like to know why some of you cup pecks? 🫠

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe you have unusually nice pecs.

As a bisexual: it's the same reason I'd want to touch a partner's boobs: because chest sexy

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

*Pecs, unless you're referring to a traditional measure of pickled peppers.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Lol I like the latter more

For the menfolks; how would you feel if your SO announced they were trans and began transition? Would you stay together? Or just become friends or something?

As a lady I don't know how I'd feel, I think the sexual part would be a huge loss for me. I likes the G-spot orgasms.
