acting is less about the scene itself and more about what it costs the person emotionally.
what feels like an ordinary day at work to one actor can feel incredibly vulnerable to another.
Seth Rogen reveals why hiring porn stars for movies is the easiest choice when filming a s*x scene
"Very early in our careers, we realized like, if you ever need someone to be naked in a movie, you should hire a porn star"
Mainstream actress: "it's not a situation where you're like convincing a mainstream actress to get naked"
Porn star: "instead you're taking a porn actress and putting her in a mainstream movie and she doesn't have to put anything in her and so she's thrilled"
"And so the story was we had there some stripper scenes in these films and Stormy played a stripper in the in"

there’s a little shift when the talking stage stops feeling casual.
u start noticing their absence, saving things to tell them, checking your phone with a smile you didnt plan on having.
somewhere between “we’re just talking” and “I miss you,” your heart has already picked a side.

one of the sweetest parts of falling for someone is how they quietly become part of your everyday life..
u start using their phrases, saving little stories for them, and smiling at your phone for no reason.
love really does sneak into the smallest corners of your life.
I love loving someone so much, I love getting lost in the love, I enjoy foolishly being happy & looking forward to their texts. I love how they live on my mind and I always look forward to them. I love the gestures, adopting their slangs & mannerism, the signs only us understand

good intimacy isnt about memorizing all the right moves,
its about paying enough attention to notice the little things, know when to slow down, and care enough to respond.
bro wrote a thesis with a consent clause also has a phd in unnecessary detail... somebody needs to confiscate this man’s keyboard..

someone can really want you and still be shy, guarded, or scared.
the real green flag is consistency, u shouldnt have to constantly decode whether someone wants you.
interest can be complicated, disinterest is usually pretty clear.
Remember the Brad pitt rule;
"When a girl genuinely wants you, she won't make things complicated, anything else is a waste of your time."

i think coed education makes sense because you learn how to communicate, collaborate, and compete with different people before the real world throws you into it.
if life is coed, school should teach you how to navigate that too.
Obviously schools should be sex segregated. Colleges were almost entirely sex segregated until comparatively recently. What good has come from the shift to coed institutions? In what way has education improved? In what ways are men and women any happier due to this shift? These aren’t rhetorical questions. Can anyone list the benefits? Because there’s a very long list of horrifying negatives (the Cornell case being just the latest).

why would somebody turn intimacy into a laboratory protocol...
honestly, i think good intimacy is less about knowing all the right moves and more about actually paying attention to each other.
u figure out what feels good together, not by assuming, but by communicating.
The best technique is knowing your partner.

they make you more yourself. u feel seen by them, softer with yourself, and more curious about the life around you.
the best love doesnt become your whole world. it makes your world feel bigger.

i think both statements can be true, she never owes him sex, and he never owes her a relationship.
but commitment shouldnt become a bargaining chip for access, and sex shouldnt become a bargaining chip for commitment.
Consent is a right. Commitment is a choice. Neither is a debt.
“I don’t owe him sex.” Correct…and he doesn’t owe you commitment while YOU turn the relationship ice cold.

i think the deeper truth is that being valuable in a relationship isn’t about becoming indispensable.
its about making each other’s lives richer through qualities that money can’t easily replace... emotional steadiness, wisdom, warmth, competence, loyalty.
the goal shouldn’t be to make someone’s life collapse without you. It should be to make life genuinely better with you in it.
Most women do not understand what the modern man must sacrifice to keep a relationship thriving, let alone be married.
Women think, “Just show up, look pretty, havesex, and he will value you.”
A man can buy that.
So what do you, as a woman, bring to him that makes him want to sacrifice the work involved to keep you around?
Something my mother taught me as early as I can remember is to cultivate skills that help a man navigate life better than on his own.
These skills need to be so valuable that if he lost you tomorrow, his entire life would come crashing down.
This is how a woman becomes valuable.
And before I hear men say, “That’ll never happen,”
I want you to think about this:
Our economy.
Our housing market.
Children and future generations.
Health and longevity.
Quality of life.
All rest in a woman’s hands if she is aware and skilled.
She can make a man achieve things he wouldn’t be capable of achieving on his own if she learns these skills.
If you disagree, you just haven’t experienced a skilled woman.

i think this says something people miss about sex.. sometimes what feels most intimate isnt the physical sensation itself, but what it communicates.
being wanted, chosen, touched with tenderness, and completely comfortable with someone you love can make intimacy feel powerful.
sometimes the deepest pleasure is knowing, without a doubt, that you are desired.
彼氏とのセックスはめちゃ大好きだけど
ぶっちゃけ行為が気持ちいいかと言われたらまじで感想はこれ
ただ求められて触られてめっちゃくちゃにされてる事実が最高に気持ちいいから好き
これは彼氏がすきだからであってセックスは全部これ
セックス好きだけどセックスでイけたことない

i think there’s something incredibly intimate about being close without needing the moment to lead anywhere.
lying together, touching gently, whispering, looking at each other, feeling completely unhurried.
sometimes the deepest intimacy is simply being able to be vulnerable in someone’s presence without needing to perform or prove desire.
being naked with your partner but not actually having sex, just caressing each other and talking in whispers and admiring each other’s energy and enjoying each other’s raw presence. yes please.

i think being intuitive doesnt mean you’re always right about people.
u can trust what you feel while still leaving room for the possibility that you misunderstood why.
People who have a high spiritual ranking can sense insecurity, envy, people’s animosity, bad energy, and evil intentions. That’s why they are isolated, silent, and alone.

sometimes closure is just accepting that they hurt you without needing to understand every reason why.
some endings dont need another conversation, they just need to stay endings...

there’s something beautiful about becoming parents together and realizing you’re looking at someone who exists because of the love between you.
i imagine those quiet hours werent just about staring at your daughter. u were also looking at the life you had created together.
u look at your baby and suddenly realize, we made this little person from the love we had for each other...
My husband and I, 13 years ago, when we had first become parents. I remember we’d just stare at her for hours, amazed.

sometimes the smallest things mean more than we realize.
a joke, a borrowed pen, five ordinary minutes, you might forget giving them.
but someone else might remember how safe they felt.
There was a woman in my office who kept borrowing my pen.
Not once.
Not twice.
Almost every day.
She’d walk past my desk and say:
“Can I borrow that?”
I kept handing it over.
One day, I finally joked:
“You know you can buy your own, right?”
She laughed.
“I know.”
But she still returned it every afternoon.
I started recognizing the sound of her footsteps.
She’d appear around 3 PM.
“Pen?”
I’d slide it across my desk.
Then she’d disappear.
This went on for almost two months.
Until one day, she didn’t come to work.
Nobody knew why.
The next day, she still wasn’t there.
Then the day after that.
On Friday, I found a small envelope on my desk.
Inside was my pen.
And a note:

i think there’s a difference between chasing intensity and actually letting yourself be known.
sometimes what we call desire can also be a way of staying protected, close enough to feel something, but never close enough to be vulnerable.
then someone makes you feel safe enough to surrender the performance, and you realize that real intimacy can reach places fantasy never could.
The first time I truly allowed myself to open up during sex and love someone with the full expression of myself, it was terrifying. Exhilarating. Transformative. It was an experience of such great intensity that all the weird kink stuff I thought I was into seemed laughable and small in comparison. So many of my false desires died in that moment.
That was the secret. Surprise! Love is the secret. It's so simple it almost feels like a trick. And as it turns out a lot of kinks and fetishes are just simalucra, little prisons of false feeling, to keep you disconnected from ever experiencing the real thing.

i think real intimacy is when you stop rehearsing yourself.
u can say what you actually feel, show the messy parts, and still feel completely loved.

sex can satisfy desire. marriage asks a man to entrust someone with his life.
thats why a serious man isnt simply looking for a body he can have.
he’s looking for a woman he can build a home, raise children, and grow old beside.
sex is access. marriage is trust.
If men were marrying for sex, every prostitute would be married.
Men can get sex without a wedding, without bills, and without having to feed and take care of a woman.
Sex is not why a serious man marries. He marries for a home, children, loyalty, peace, and a woman he can build with.
That is why the men who still want marriage are not looking for a body. They are looking for character.
