You know, I’ve spent a long time bemoaning my asexuality and sex-repulsedness, what I’d be missing out on that I can’t bring myself to do.

Then I realized that this experience is completely out of the cards for me, and cannot happen.

I think I’m at peace with myself and the world now.

Here friend.

It is possible to have enough brains to know not to do this, even with sexual desires

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Negative, I have sexual desires and no brains. Cant argue with them facts. :(

If you're looking for more justification, then you've got online access to unlimited information about unusual sexual practices, injuries and experiences gone wrong. Depends on how deep you want to dive into this......but there's a lot out there if you need more material to make yourself feel better.

Also, I didn't know asexuals bemoaned their asexuality. Sucks to have a sexual preference that doesnt align with what you want to be.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, I'm sitting here, not really having sex, when about 30% of all popular music is about the horizontal monster mash. So many television plots are born of “I need to have sex with this person badly but it will destroy my marriage.” The sheer amount of porn on the internet, and how it’s the number one consumed genre of entertainment and it’s not even close.

All this taken together, it’s enough to bemoan the fact that I’m disgusted even by the thought of it, and millions of other people have made art about it for billions to consume. What the hell am I missing, that it’s this popular?

This is, at some point, something most sex-repulsed people have to work through.

I had two phases in my life so far. When I was a teenager and later in relationship I was pretty sexually active. After ending this relationship I needed a lot of time to come to terms with everything and I didn't want any relationships whatsoever so I just stopped having sex. After a few months I just kinda forgot about it? At this point I didn't have sex for like 6 years, I very rarely get horny and I do NOT want to go back. Yes, sex is fun, but man, being horny can be so fucking tiring. It can occupy your mind for hours, making it hard to focus on work, studying or anything else. It's kinda like a drug to be honest.

Asexuality doesn't sound bad at all to me. Well, I guess it doesn't make relationships easier so it's obviously a tradeoff...

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Asexuality doesn't mean not being horny unfortunately. Just that its more annoying to deal with it. Even in my mid-20s or so, I'd still get horny regularly doing things like reading math textbooks and wouldn't be able to focus. Ironically, I remember a month that I wasn't horny at all was because I was infatuated with a girl, but had zero sexual attraction towards her. Since I was thinking about her all day, it killed my libido.

Starting spiro at ~30yo was great, finally getting rid of a curse. Not that I don't get turned on sometimes still, but its rarer. Also I've always had kinky fantasies and that hasn't changed.

Being (aro)ace just meant growing up wondering if people were lying about experiencing sexual attraction and being confused by things like dating (that could have been solved if I just knew aroace was a thing at a younger age and that aces could still be horny).

A lot of that is just age too. From my experience, once you get past your mid 20s the constant hornyness dies down. I'm in my late 30s and I still love sex, but it's not a need in any capacity.

That's what I would expect. Although I'm comparing myself to my similarly aged friends, and let me tell you, their chase of sex is not slowing down.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, I’m married to an asexual homoromantic woman and being lesbians and such is fantastic, but yeah, it’s purely romantic and platonic. I do love her very much.

Nice! In this case I wouldn't give sex a second thought. Don't let the society pressure you into seeing it as so important! Wish you all the best!

Buy rings that have at least two, preferably three break points. Love titanium, have had to break it off a finger (thankfully nut free)after a motorcycle accident, glad I sprung for the option with three break points.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 28 points 1 week ago

Silicon dick rings works just fine let me tell you.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 24 points 1 week ago

More than just the tip. The whole package goes in there ... the beans and the frank.

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Yeeeaaaaa don't like that. Thankfully I've never been on that kind of call, I would not want to be the guy operating that saw

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Would you rather be the guy getting operated on?

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

idk, if its possible to cut with an oscillating saw it might be fairly simple

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Titanium is difficult to cut. Generally diamond blades are used. You can get those for oscillating saws, but a diamond wheel on a small die grinder with a steady hand is what I would want.

What if my goal is for the firefighters to see my cock?

Have you tried asking first?

There are better ways that can get you multiple showings if you have a good enough preformance.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do they mean tungsten? Because titanium is a relatively soft metal, with the alloys used for jewelry being like 20-40 on the Rockwell C scale.

Mild steel is about in the same range.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And other titanium alloys used in tooling or knives can be harder than W2 tool steel. IIRC nickel is a common metal it's alloyed with and nickel is a bitch.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Right, but those alloys aren't typically used for rings and such.

Tungsten actually isn't too much of a problem. While it's hard to cut, it's easy to break.

There was an episode of Rescue Me where this happened, s1e8. Unsure if it was a titanium ring specifically.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

It was stainless, which while difficult to cut, is easier than titanium and the tools are much more accessible.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just a thought. Obviously any material that is difficult to cut is a problem, so in this situation wouldn't the best solution be to put the person under enough for the body to reset? Or is there a point where things can't reduce while restricted?

In other words, a swollen finger with a stuck titanium/tungsten ring isn't going to resolve that swelling quickly if at all. But other things do go down typically on their own once stimuli is gone.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I believe you'd still be in a "all the blood that got pumped in here is unable to flow back out" situation, even when the pumping in has subsided.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That was what I wasn't sure about. So I guess in such a case the blood acts as its own tourniquet to prevent movement.

I would think even maybe lancing the blooded area would be better than the posted alternative.

Doesn’t matter, still getting some suck on your d … I guess?

wait, there's a specialized tool for cutting cock rings?

also i guess some variant of miniature wire saw would work

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 6 days ago

It's just a diamond cutting wheel on a dremel.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

The specialized tool is for titanium, not the ring in general. Mini wire saw would need to be carbide/diamond.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

I think they meant it was specialized for cutting titanium.
