First time posting, so bear with me. I know that this isn’t really the kind of stuff that usually gets posted here, but, per the title, I finally came after four and a half months, and even though it’s been a few days, I’m still riding on a high right now, and need to tell someone about this little victory.
Due to some unfortunate family and career changes, I’d been dealing with an unusually strong spike from my GAD a few months ago and decided to give it a go with antidepressants rather than just struggling, as I had been. Around the same time, Natalie, a long time friend since college, and I started dating.
However, Natalie had one hard and fast rule: no porn.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: she sounds pretty deluded and controlling, and usually I’d agree, but let me explain. She’d had a very stout and conservative religious upbringing in which all forms of sex before marriage, sex for just enjoyment (God forbid), masturbation, and porn were forbidden. Over the years, she’s slowly gotten over most of it, though she still has some issues with masturbation for herself (not with me, thankfully) which I hate because women masturbating is one of the hottest things in the world to watch.
