This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

i will never understand the inability for people not to have amazing sex with their friends

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 26 points 2 days ago

Anon couldn't have sex with a friend because anon wanted to have sex with a prostitute.

I don't want to have sex with my friends. I know where they've been.

Anyway people's relationships are complicated, there's plenty of people I like who I do not find attractive.

Somewhere along the line, when you finally meet the person that truly meets all your expectations for a life together, your friend:

  • Have they told you we used to fuck?

And any partner of mine in that situation would be like cool… 3some? And everyone has fun

[–] Daefsdeda@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no my current partner has had sex before with someone and they are grown up enough to still be able to talk with them. /s

But for real though, it is more a green flag for me than a red flag.

The above is oversimplified and written to elicite a chuckle but most people aren't that comfortable with having another human being (I don't discriminate; just aiming for the most probable scenario) their significant other used to pork on a more or less distant past staying around. Most will have doubts about their relationship and its heading. Or even worst.

Monkey brain and pride computes around "If they porked in the past, did they stop completely or is it a come and go situation?" Humans are strange creatures.

Definitely agree with the humans are strange creatures. Wasn't also specifically pointing at you and indeed more the general consensus.

I just understood there was room and need for me to clarify my position and view, so I took the chance.

But we are, indeed, a strange bunch.

So you don't trust your partner then? I've had ex's that I remained friends with and they had ex's that they remained friends with. As long as no one's an asshole about it it's fine. The fact that you used to sleep with someone doesn't always mean you're just waiting for an opportunity to jump on them again.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I trust the person I'm with and I've met the person dating them before me. I didn't felt threatened or insecure; I see myself as a passing shadow through other peoples lives, which is quite liberating. If I manage to gain a prolongued stay, as I have, good, if not, good as well.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So then what's there to be uncomfortable about with them remaining friends with an ex?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

For me, personally, nothing. For most, apparently, a lot.
