Are we forever alone?

[australopith]

Got a girlfriend for the first time in a while, and she enjoys hearing about my robot writing - Contessa, Calvin and Monica are sort of old buddies. (-:

But she doesn't know about the forum yet. Hmm...

I should add, by the way, that this is the first girlfriend I've had who really shared my geeky interests, both robot- and non-robot-related. I looked far and wide to meet someone like her–it's not easy. But she and I found each other, so the right match can be out there. (-:

Very happily married, and had plenty of long-term dating relationships. Only told a few of them about this fetish, and nothing bad came of it. On the contrary, some turn out to be into it, or at least curious. In one case, it was a "show me your fetish and I'll show you mine" which was an eye-opener.

Definitely recommend telling your significant other(s) if it's a serious relationship.

Everyone of us has a sex fetish. At least being open about if with your significant other is (imho) mandatory for an healthy relationship. Maybe he/she would even like to play with it sometimes.

If you're afraid of telling... well, I've definetly spent too much time in the wrong side of internet. Trust me, this isn't by far the worst fetish you can reveal.

Just had my heart shattered into tiny little bits.
I hurt and I ache.
I'm angry as hell.
I'm on the side of "forever alone" at this point. But I don't think it has anything to do with technosexuality or asfr. I think this is the state of us.
Most people are broken. They don't disclose their damage. They're too afraid to live.
Most people lack courage. That's why I'LL always be alone.
It's not about sexual interests though. It's about the sad lack of people in this world who have the guts to be fully alive and take chances - sexually, emotionally, professionally - whatever. If someone leaves you because of a sexual interest (that doesn't cause harm to anyone... anyone who doesn't WANT to be harmed at least) then it's THEY who lack the courage.
It's finding someone with the fortitude and severity to live through the meat grinder of life itself that's the difficulty. THAT'S how people end up alone - the extreme shortage of people with SPINES.

(Sorry. Very angry right now...)

Whoa, don't mess with pissed of Pris.

Married. Several partners on the side. All aware of the fetish (and each other).

It can work, friends. Don't give up hope.

[CyborgWolf]

Been in a relationship for well over a year now, and we've introduced each other to our interests.
We haven't had the chance to fully explore yet though,but we're both hopeful once we've got our own place after the 1st year of uni. We mostly have similar/overlapping tastes, we indulge each other regularly in what doesn't overlap as much and from what I've told her so far she seems curious about this, just like how I'm curious about what she is into.

I have a job that I love, many good friends that I trust and a girlfriend. When I told them about my fetish, they found it interesting. They say it fits my personality, I think it's very flattering to hear this.

There is more tolerance out there than I thought, when I was 16 I told myself I could never tell this anyone. I'm glad I was wrong.
