Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out for insights and shared experiences regarding a sensitive topic: the interplay between sexual experiences and drug use within a relationship. My girlfriend and I, both in our early thirties, have a decade-long relationship enriched with our fair share of adventurous years, including drug use. While our wilder days have given way to more serene evenings, there's a conversation I'm hoping to have with her soon about our sexual dynamics.
Our relationship began with an explorative approach to sexuality, but over time, this aspect has somewhat settled into a routine. I believe it's crucial to revisit and evolve this part of our relationship, especially considering my girlfriend's background. She grew up in a patriarchal, religious family, from which she has since distanced herself. Her appreciation for the respect and autonomy she experiences with me is heartening, and it underscores the importance of these values in our relationship. However, her upbringing seems to have instilled a deep-seated discomfort in discussing our sexual experiences, regardless of whether we're sober or under the influence, and this silence has limited our ability to fully explore our sexual desires together.
Recently, we've had some intense experiences, particularly on evenings involving stims, alcohol, or sth similar. These substances, known for lowering inhibitions and boosting confidence, revealed a less guarded side of her. Her signals were unmistakable, yet they left me pondering: Should I interpret these moments as revelations of her true desires, or are they merely fleeting expressions tied to an altered state?
I recognize that my own desires remain consistent, though I'm more inclined to act on them in certain states. But can one's personal experience be a reliable gauge for another's inner world? As I think about these questions, I'm seeking a sensitive yet open approach to broach this topic with her. It's essential to navigate this discussion without causing discomfort, as my goal is to deepen our connection and understanding of each other's desires and needs.
Any thoughts or experiences you could share would be appreciated.
