WTF, I was trying to show my therapist something I found in a post here… She’s 79. Screen sharing via video chat; be fuckin’ careful. Only once. Bookmark yo’ links.

*(I was using the site as the quickest way to access the content. I didn’t have it saved, or what precisely to search for. Therapy sessions are timed. That’s why.)

————-————-————-————-

e: She wasn’t shook or anything. Wasn’t a big deal, but of ALL THE TAGLINES! I do take responsibility for it, ultimately. I know about you libs and your ways.

-For the most part this was for all of you to laugh at! (But for real, in general, that tag line isn’t our best, folks.)

[My therapist is ride or fucking die, my psychiatrist as well. And it’s just not my favorite thing I’ve shared, nothing more. But for those who have had bad therapy experiences and alluding to it — being fully open and communicative with implicit trust is possible. I have government provided healthcare, it’s not some rich people exclusive. It took time, it wasn’t a magical meet-cute. So, that’s that.]

{oops forgot to say: love to my trans homies and their homies as well. love you libs, too, but definitely not as much.}

    Having said that, I do think it might not be a bad idea to remove some of the weirdly horny ones. If it's something we'd slap volcel police on as a comment, it's probably not a great tagline.

      This site is entirely too horny and also very weird about it. Wish they'd fix that but oh well.

        I think the site is in a weird sort of wire-walking state between being (usually seemingly ironically) as aggressively anti-horny and sex-repulsed as it's possible for anyone to be, while also being (usually seemingly ironically) unbelievably horny in really weird ways.

        Definitely a possible source for a future struggle session. I think there are some things we could do to reduce the contradictions, like cleaning up some of the taglines that are a bit weird and clarifying some specific rules about specific things.

            going hundreds of miles for dates.

            So, lesbian dating in general, then?

            Yeah, there isn't a release valve, but at the same time, there's also the issue of like, this just simply and entirely not being the space for that sort of thing. Certain spaces aren't really designed or intended for it, and don't need to accommodate it. People just need to do that elsewhere.
