Now that I (33m) am finally free from my emotionally abusive dad, I had a girl stay OVERNIGHT at MY house for the first time! [MF]

My dad never let me (33m) have a girlfriend or invite friends over. I’d actually never had overnight sex.

I’m not a virgin – far from it – but whenever I hooked up with a girl, I (a grown man in his 30s) was forced to lie to my dad and sneak off to HER place in the DAYTIME for a few short hours, like a naughty schoolboy. A night away from home was off-limits.

But now I’m free and No Contact with my dad! This time a girl came to MY house and stayed all weekend, and I made her breakfast in bed!

Okay it was only casual sex (and I’m in love with someone else) but it was mindblowingly wonderful! As I held her I felt all the stress of the last few months just melt away. There was no time-limit, nobody to answer to, I was just… happy!

No-one should ever take an abuse-free life (or any of its simple pleasures) for granted!

I (33m) helped my newly-single, retired mom (72f) buy sex toys today. [MF]

My mom finally told my emotionally abusive father that she wanted a separation, after 43 years of marriage, and I couldn’t be prouder of her!

I said, “I’d love it if you found a decent man who made you happy.”

She said, “I don’t need a man to make me happy.”

I know my mom’s a bit old-school when it comes to sex toys and has never owned any – she told me. She didn’t know you could buy them online. She was worried about giving out her credit card info to such places, but I assured her it was quite safe.

She said she wouldn’t even know where to begin. So today I sat down with her and helped her buy some and we had a good laugh!

If this isn’t proof that sex shouldn’t be an awkward subject, I don’t know what is!
