I have not seen past season 1 of this show yet, but I'm loving it so far! This guy has been one of my favorites but he's been absent for like 6 or something episodes lately doggirl-tears

miscellaneous plot commentary for where I'm at in the showwhat the FUCK is Mollari up to this dude is bordering on ordering literal genocide??

what is Delenn transing into?? a guy maybe???? bridget-pride

where the HELL is Sinclair I want him back. His replacement kinds sucks lmao

Garibaldi might be the straightest man alive and I mean that in the most derogatory way imaginable

I wish this show was gayer

I fucking love the technomages so goddamn much oh my god. They're soooooo goofy and I need more of them. I was close to dedicating this mega to my love for that one episode where they're introduced

Anyway this show is fun and cool and good but could be gayer and transer lea-sad

sexWas talking with friends at work and sex came up and reminded me all of the sudden that I'm still a virgin and never been desired. I feel disgusting and unwanted and ugly and it's probably going to get even worse when I'm out because I'm putting myself into a niche category of people who would even be interested in me

And it sucks too because I feel like it's such a male-coded thing to be distressed about one's virginity so I feel erotically inapplicable and dysphoric all at one ๐Ÿ™ƒ

This is so real 100%. Same exact thing for me even down to putting myself into a tiny little box :/ fml. I am NOT looking forward to being forever alone. I hate this. I just want to have someone.

spoiler"Look at me, Im Sandra Dee, bursting with virginity. Won't go to bed til Im legally wed! Not me, Im Sandra Dee." Insecurity about virginity is a thing for everyone. Women have to deal with the madonna-whore thing on top of it.

You actually dont know if you've been desired or not - because that lives in someone else's head. You're using being virginal as a proxy for that which is a bad choice because I imagine you haven't been in a lot of situations where you're free use, free love, everyone's at the social situation to fuck. Instead, you've had to deal with the flirting thing, finding someone, feeling safe enough to be intimate emotionally with someone.

You're also not a porn category so maybe drop the "putting yourself in a niche category" thinking. You're a whole person.

All my friends figured it out that way, and that's the way I want it. I don't want to "solve" it by going to a sex party where someone decides I'm more or less tolerable in the heat of the moment I want to be normal. I feel defective

Okay but you can see how feeling undesirable and a virgin ain't connected, yeah? You don't know if someone else has or hasnt desired you because its not in your head if they do - and you aren't in that kind of social milieu (e.g. sex party) where its acceptable to walk up and be frank about wanting to fuck. Instead you're in the regular social milieu where everyone's anxious and nervous and insecure and shy and scared about being vulnerable and taking a risk of being turned down - and it sounds like youre dealing with not seeing yourself as worthy, beautiful, desirable, which is just adding another layer of difficulty on top if it. Plus, potentially being a person who does not want to approach others herself for perhaps the above listed reasons.

Your other friends didnt have the same dysphoria, the same history, the same shyness and/or fears you have to deal it. Don't compare them to yourself, theres nothing there but pain for you if you continue to do that. Its also not "male coded" to feel insecure about virginity or whatever, very normal experience. If you want to fall in love and have a deep emotional intimate experience with someone, consider starting with loving yourself and seeing yourself as someone who is desirable and worthy instead of giving that power to other people over you.
