Catdog

A meet-up group is such a good idea @stephaniaaaah! Did you know there’s a website/app dedicated to them? Maybe your friend could try something like that too @catdog?

@catdog props to your friend for having the courage to do this, too! I always just end up starting relationships with pre-existing friends, workmates or people I meet online because I can’t find the confidence to approach strangers. A meetup group is such a good idea, too @stephaniaaaah!

@catdog @tea but I think this is such a great discussion to have! I think it’s okay to talk to a person casually if you just start a friendly chat say while you are both waiting for coffee or in the same situation together but it has to be totally natural and not forced.

I have met people outside of the apps by joining a meetup group. It’s…[Read more]

Ohh cool, I’m so happy your friend has tried out our advice @catdog! Yeah, I can see why there would be a lot of mixed reactions with a very forward approach like that. But I’m glad your friend has had mostly positive encounters so far!

@catdog Yeah! there’s a recent one she did with triple j when she was on for like a version a couple of weeks ago! It’ll be on their YT page! 🙂 One of my faves from her, she’s so, quirky and fun!

@goldenrose omg! I hope you were okay after that?

@catdog wow I didn’t know those kinds of cramps were a thing!

Agreed @catdog. I would hope my sexual partners feel comfortable enough with me to straight away let me know if they’re not into it.

I really love how the artist, Aurora, talks about masturbation. Have you heard of her/seen her @catdog? She talks about it so casually during interviews and it catches people off, guard. It’s just so natural to her, I love it!

@catdog So I was just going through some of my desk stuff and came across a phone number, which made me think of the story behind it!

I was looking around a bookshop once and someone approached me to say hello, introduce themselves and then gave me their phone number written down on a piece of paper. They said to call if I wanted to go for coffee…[Read more]

Definitely a controversial, yet totally valid topic @catdog! I think going up to someone and having a chat is appropriate if there are good intentions. Like, a normal chat would be okay – but going up to someone and telling them they look hot or something wouldn’t be okay.

Respecting people’s boundaries are something to consider too, so if…[Read more]

Love the video @catdog! So true @aunt_flo – hopefully we can get to a better balance in contraception education soon.

Totally agree with @goldenrose, @catdog – communication is key! I’ve been in a few long-distance relationships and keeping things intimate just doesn’t work if you don’t communicate with your partner enough! Plus it makes phone sex really awkward if communication isn’t good.

I’ve found exchanging pictures or even skype calls keeps things spicy.…[Read more]

@kitkat Omg, I didn’t even think about prep!! I wonder if you need an enema beforehand?? Hmm,,,,

@catdog @will Thank you so so much for your input!! TORPEDO BAY @will I’m screaming omg!! Ooh good point about the organs moving as you do, I didn’t even think about that but yeah a good position totally makes sense! Thank you so much for giving solid…[Read more]

@catdog I’ve done this! And it was TOUGH! However, strangely enough I still felt like I was having a fulfilling sex life through skype sex. There is definitely risk attached to anything that goes through an online platform, and I don’t think I would be comfortable had I not been in a loving and trusting union. It was slow going at first, but once…[Read more]

Oh thanks so much for the link @goldenrose, that’s super helpful! Totally forgot about pre-cum being a massive contributor – this article helps a lot.

@catdog Pull and pray!!! That sounds so awful! Thank you for sharing your own experiences of pulling out during sex too. Do you let your partner/s know you’re doing this? If so do you talk about it…[Read more]

Heya @catdog, awesome question which I think personally we don’t talk nearly enough about. It’s funny, despite most of my friends being pretty sex-pos in their own ways, I think there are still a lot of stigmas and taboos talking about masturbation, at least amongst women my age. It’s definitely seen as a personal or private thing, but sometimes I…[Read more]

That’s fair enough @catdog, I agree too that there is a place for both 🙂

Thanks @goldenrose and @tea, I was so glad to share it!

@catdog Good to know we’ve helped solve things for you! I usually just immediately have the need to pee after sex anyway so it’s a win-win!

@catdog yeah I definitely agree that there has to be a place for both! And I can see what you mean by it being much harder to appreciate something that isn’t too visible and taking it for granted sometimes, like sometimes when I’m tired and I have to walk somewhere and complain to myself but I really should be grateful that I have the ability to…[Read more]

@catdog I have also had a friend who uses this method and it was coming from the perspective of wanting to all natural and minimal etc.
Agreed with @stephaniaaaah in the moment comfort and preventative makes most sense to me!
