I think it's weird if people don't look.

@Forgetmeknot why
Forgetmeknot · 41-45
@turningthekeys because it's human nature. The person suppressing it is suppressing it for a reason - what's the reason? I probably should have said "intriguing" or "suspicious" not "weird".

@Forgetmeknot I don't look at other men. Why is there a need to when you're with someone you like?
Forgetmeknot · 41-45
@turningthekeys occasionally if you see someone especially nice then do you not look?
I tend to look a women more than men even though I prefer men sexually. Women are often more aesthetically pleasing to look at. Very occasionally I see a man I like the look of.
I suppose the question is what stops you from looking?

@Forgetmeknot because I want to express the fact that the person I'm with is special and deserves all my attention.

@turningthekeys so you deliberately do not look, even though you see attractive people, you force yourself not to look because you see that as an expression of love?
turningthekeys · 31-35, F
@Forgetmeknot yes.

@turningthekeys an ex said that to me and he was a constant cheat. He didn't look, he acted. I'm not saying that's what you do but because of that experience it would make me wonder.

@Forgetmeknot Oh. Okay. I guess to each their own.

@turningthekeys so if you don't look at any others where does that go? Where does the energy and intrigue in others sexually go? What do you do with it?

@Forgetmeknot I... Don't know. I just know that... My dad ogling other women almost destroyed our home because those women started to actively interfere with our family because they thought he liked them and when my dad backed off when he realized that's what they thought, those women got really mad and took it all out on my mom and us.... Just... The ogling... And I realized... Little things can have a huge price. Little misunderstandings can prove to be expensive... I just don't want to repeat his mistakes. And I don't want a man who would repeat my father's mistakes.

@turningthekeys I see where you're coming from. Looking is usually harmless, more than that usually is what causes bigger issues. But I understand where you're coming from.
