Just when I was considering throwing myself off a high bridge, along comes Savage Cape and talks me down from the railings.

mortuary work?
what's that?

Mortuary is another word for morgue.

That's where they take you when you die before you go to the funeral home.

So he's saying he fucks dead bodies.

Don't worry about it. I didn't have my first girlfriend until I was 18. And that only lasted 2 months. And my second girlfriend was at 20. And that only lasted a month. Now I'm 22 and I'm due for another I guess. (well actually there was another girl when I was 20, but that was just a drunken makeout session, didn't count, so I don't think it would throw off my once every two years thing)

I wonder if my next relationship will last 2 weeks.

about eight or nine, seeing one of the numerous heaving breasted women in my Conan comic and suddenly realising that there was a lot more to life than I might have previously realised.

i know i shouldn't worry so much...but you know. when you're off school for like 4 months...you have plenty of time to think about life and stuff.
i wish i start school and have something else to worry about....
i haven't called my psychologist back...

Yeah I know how that feels

I think it is sort of a society vs me sort of thing. I've been conditioned to feel that there is something wrong if I'm not in a relationship. Which simply isn't true.

yeah! that's it. it's some sort of condition that society puts. and if you're not in a relationship (meaning, if they don't see you walking around with a person of the opposite sex and it's clear and obvious you are going out with him/her), they'll think you are hiding some other kind of relationship with someone your same sex.
or something.
it's so horrible.
i was thinking that how i feel about this is like what the characters from sex and the city feel about being 30-something and not being married or having kids. they feel like they are mutants just because they are not like most 30 year old women...

contre--

you're a lovely girl, and talented and smart, i wouldn't worry much about it. i mean if you want someone go for it, if you don't find people attractive/interesting, it's for a reason. you'll find people when you're ready for it. sure when you leave home & live on your own. now, if for some reason you think you have a problem, nothing wrong with working on it.

your dad sounds like a really cool guy. your mom... well... you've spoken plenty about her; but i wouln't pay any mind to what she says. but call that analista of yours and sort things out. don't let them feed you freudian crap though-- that stuff is primitive.

"sure when you leave home and live on your own" - i seriously thought so. hahaha. i mean, i think that the fact that i don't see my parents everyday would make me want to go out with some guy. but for some reason i feel intimidated by my parents.
i don't think that analista of mine helps me at all....
i feel that everytime i get out of that place i'm more confused or sad than when i got in...

get a new one. there are plenty of them where you live.

how do you know??

you live in buenos aires

1 out of 3 people is an analista

well known fact

--

really, it's like shopping for shoes. find the right fit for you.

What is analista?

no empieces...

I am being honest, I want to know what that means.

short for psicoanalista. which is argentina's favored profession. :D

Ok, I see.

hahahaha
well yeah
it's a quite good profession as we are all fucked up...

that and the abogados.

...so ...like an analrapist?

I've never questioned my sexuality. I've experimented, simply because I was curious. Nothing. It did nothing for me, and the whole while I was thinking of my boyfriend.

An old thread, but I want to share my story with this - confusing and scary at the time, but really kinda funny in hindsight.

So, Valentine's Day 2017, I'm 14 years old and just assume that I'm a straight dude - I know I like girls (had a relationship that was really awkward and I try to forget happened), and while I have nothing against gay people, I just don't happen to be one.
Anyway, I'm standing around half-heartedly complaining about not having a Valentine (nothing new here) and my male best friend asks me to be his. I'd suspected he was a bit gay, but I figured that he was joking, so I said sure.
20 minutes later, he turns around and tells me that he was joking. And I knew that, had considered it when I asked him about it, but I still got kinda sad about it.
Quickly thought "why the fuck am I sad", and (to make a long store short) I'm bi - unfortunately one without any experience. But it'll come.

since age 3 or 4.

I do not remember a time when I was not drawn to the scantily clad ladies in Puerto Rican dance and music shows back in 1976-79.

At age 13 in 7th grade one of my first crushes was on my very attractive Junior High History Teacher. She was young, perhaps even a first year teacher. So my 7th grade ends and there's summer vacation. When I returned for eighth grade she was married and had changed her last name. It was like an episode of The Wonder Years. lol. In eighth grade I was not in her class anymore unfortunately, got moved to a male history teacher, and by the end of the year, when I was leaving junior high and heading into high school, the attractive history teacher was pregnant with her first kid. So, she was one of my first crushes.

That’s funny, my Ma tells me I’d sit in my high chair quietly until a pretty woman showed up on teevee, then I’d yell, bang my sippy cup and drool.

A wise man...sorry, I'll start again. A wise non-binary once said "any hole is a ferkin goal".

Pushing 30 and I don't know. The first girl I crushed on looked like a boy.

I'm privileged in that I've never felt need to question. In my mind, I am a male and biologically born that way, and I prefer biologically born females

when the female classmates started growing boobs, which could have been around 12, I realized I enjoyed staring at them.

i was pre-boob. i had 2 massive crushes on girls from my kindergarten lololol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"For God's sake, Alvy, even Freud speaks of a latency period."

haaahaaahaa, i am familiar with that reference, and yeah i could relate when i saw it.

when i was in kindergarten and preschool it was all coed, and i was friends with boys and girls, but at each school there was one pretty girl that made me go “oooooooooh...” hahaha.

things got ruined when i went to an all boys school. it all got very macho, and “we don’t play with girls” became a thing, and then yeah i had to wait for pre-puberty or something.

actually no, in childhood i used to drool at the hot ladies in my mom’s telenovelas. also, there was raquel welch. it wasn’t like a grownup feeling but... yeah, oh raquel welch,

I like everyone
