    Hi,

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to write this question...
    When I was younger, I would get jealous that girls seemed to just be able last longer in sex than guys... It bothered me to the point, that I wanted to just imagine it, or put myself in their place.

    Well, the more I imagined it, the more I wanted to try it, and that's literally the first way that I m'd to o. (I'm not talking about anal... I'll only explain further if appropriate for this forum)

    I felt super-guilty afterwards, and over the course of quite a few years, I strove to correct things by trying to m in the regular guy way. That sort of didn't work, and I needed visual and tactile stimulation to m in the guy way.

    When I see a beautiful young woman getting a lot of attention from others, I feel jealous... wishing I was her.

    Does anyone else feel this way here?
    Is this the right forum to ask these questions?

  2. Seeing as how this is 'offtopic', I think you can probably post just about anything you want here to start a conversation. I'll admit, I'm kinda curious about your situation.

    Hey @ConfusedwQuestions

    I've forgot the details, but I used to have similar thoughts way back when I was a teen. Now that you mention it, I guess it was part of the reasons I got into M-ing too.

    I've kind of gotten over it now though. I realized how guys and girls just have different roles during sex. So the kind of satisfaction they get at the end is actually different too (albeit similar). You know, it's like the portions between the biological and emotional satisfaction are different. If I have to put it in words, it's like how guys and girls have different mountains to climb. I could elaborate more, but it might end up as triggers.

    Yes, I used to be jealous of girls and the attention they naturally get too. So I don't think our thoughts are that strange. I guess they are rare, though.

    The thoughts faded out as I grew older and became more conscious of my roles. I guess at some point, you'll feel the same way too.

  4. I think it's normal to be curious and even jealous of the way the opposite gender works, sexually. I often have major penis envy. But I'm a girl, so, that's that. I just try not to think about it and be happy with what I have, because there's not much you can do about it, aside from making some major life changes and surgery which is a huge leap to make over jealousy.

    Also, it's so so so important to remember that everyone has their own set of problems. Like, okay, sure, women last longer in bed. But women also tend to have a much more difficult time reaching climax, many women rarely do with their partners. Also they bleed for a week straight every month and have to push babies out of their bodies. So... its good to keep things realistic and in perspective. Don't get swept up in the fantasy thoughts and the whole "grass is greener on the other side of the fence" mentality.

    In general, having envy over something you will (presumably) never be able to have will only serve to make you unhappy with what you DO have. Envy and jealousy only lead to dissatisfaction. Obviously I know we're all human, and it's easier said than done to just give up jealousy. But my point is to try. Don't waste any more time being sad about something you don't have, because what good will it do you? Instead, make a conscious effort to focus on what you like about what you do have. For example, sometimes I really wish we had a house with more space. But then I remember the renovation I just did on the kitchen and how everything is exactly how I want it in there, and a new house wouldn't haven't that custom touch. I think it's good to turn those thoughts around as soon and as much as possible, and focus on what makes you happy rather than what makes you feel dissatisfied.

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for replying!

    @Jen@8675309 - Are you sort of asking like "how" I m while thinking about this? Or are your questions along a different line?

    @shrike - I'd love to make those thoughts fade... Every single time I'd fall imagining myself as a girl, I'd try to balance it with trying to m as a guy. Eventually though, I went through a long period of depression and discouragement and I was like, forget this, I'll fall how I want to. This sort of messed me up...

    @StepsReborn - Thanks for sharing what you did. I actually didn't realize that the "penis envy" term applied in this sense, but I do understand where you're coming from. It's not as simple as being satisfied with what I have though...

    I've come to love m'ing with me as a woman... (and I sort of hate that I made that bold).
    When I heard about Bruce Jenner becoming Kaitlyn, it sort of bothered me, and yet intrigued me.

    After the really long period of depression when I was in fear of verbal and physical abuse daily (this got corrected about three months ago), I felt I was alone in the world (and that the pretty girls got all the attention).
    [I was wrong, BTW, I had a ton of friends, I was just thinking I was alone.] I figured that I had enough saved to live for a few months... I would take a "leave of absence", and then cross-dress and experience the world as a woman... I didn't though, but there were many days when I was really considering it.

    Now, all this is weird to me, because... around 8 months ago, an old friend re-entered my life, and we've been dating long distance since then. She knows that I do m imagining myself as a woman, and other times, imagining myself as her... and she's pretty fine with it. So... I'm so confused!!

  6. No, I wasn't looking for specific details on how you MO...just curious overall if you were experiencing gender confusion, or if this was something brought on by porn.
     
  7. Bro did you get into these fantasies before or after you got into porn?

    Wow, @ConfusedwQuestions . I think I'm starting to understand why this really bothers you. In my case, it didn't go that far. I understand how those feelings eventually lead you to MO, though.

    Now that I think about it, I did found some male role models that eventually made me wanting to be like them. They had traits that I genuinely admire. Some of them might also be regarded as "beautiful" by some people, but still in a masculine sort of way.

    I don't know if this helps, but being an anime fan, I was sort of exposed to the idea of masculine yet "beautiful" males. They may have the charm and attraction that you're fascinated with, but they also have other 'yang' traits (you know, I'm talking about the concept of yin and yang) in terms intelligence, strength, and mettle, that in the end, balances it all out.

    To be honest, I didn't feel the same way about Bruce becoming Kaitlyn, though. So our sentiments in the end might differ, after all. Still, I really hope you'll figure out what you're looking for.

    @Jen@8675309 and @TheSilentAce1 - I'm not too sure...

    I didn't look at porn per se until I was about 16-17 when I caught another family trying to hide someone on the computer.

    I don't know if the next thing will be a trigger... so stop reading if it is...

    The closest thing was pictures of women in predicament bondage.
    I just imagined them... caught and struggling... and I started to imagine myself in that situation.
    To "put myself in their shoes", as it were.

    I've definitely always been a guy and thought like a guy.
    I learned one day that guys have X and Y chromosomes and that girls have XX chromosomes.
    From there, I started trying to understand myself more...
    I actually tried writing a novel to sort things out, and I "split" my persona (i.e. character) into five different ones...
    3 male and 2 female.

    I'm not saying this as a schizophrenic thing... It was just an exercise in understanding myself.

    Does that sort of explain things?

    @shrike - I see your post, but I'm gonna have to answer you later. (Either I'll update this one, or reply in a lower comment)
     
  11. I got into the bondage shit too. But I wasnt imagining myself as a girl. Trust me. When you get to day 40 you'll be empowered because you aren't bound anymore. You'll be in charge!

    Hmm... Actually, that number's been my goal for quite some time.
    The longest I've ever reached was like 26 days...
    I think I'll add a counter here.

    Hey man, I think I am in the same shoes as you.... could you write me in private message your experiences? I am really hoping that there is a way out, and my (and our) destiny isn't that being a sissy submissive...
