Congratulations. You may be in the best position to integrate the material at this site. You’re not blinded by honeymoon neurochemistry—and you have no partner to blame for your relationship woes. Instead you can look back over your love life (or the love lives of others) objectively. “Jeez…there has been a pattern of separation at work in our love lives!”

Are there any single parents out there wanting to start or are already in a new relationship practicing bonding-based sex or Karezza? I'm starting this blog to invite some ideas and explore some questions I have (and maybe you have) as a single parent wanting to find a partner that wants to practice Karezza.
How do you find someone who wants to experiment with the exchanges when just the commitment to that experiment (if you follow the 'sleeping together every night' suggestion) also requires commitment to being part of a family?
How do you manage a longer period of courtship?

Hi!
This is my first time on here so be gentle, okay? You always want gentleness on your first time!...

I am a single female and have never married. But there isn't anything wrong with me at least not now! I was on some very powerful medication that took the drive out of me for years. I have been off of that medicine for more than 2 years now. Strangely, when I was young I had to watch myself because I am highly sexual by nature and have very high morals.

My only orgasm all summer was just over two weeks ago on Monday, August 8 (with Actor Guy). It seems that my post-O cycle is a little longer than two weeks. The early part of the third week is when I get a spike.
And Sunday, August 14 was when it felt like things ended with him. I could tell I was falling for him way more than he was for me. I wanted to be exclusive but he didn't so it ended.

Ok so. I am actively meeting people on OkCupid.
I decided I would feel comfortable talking about karezza on a second date. I'm pretty experienced at TMI/oversharing and I can usually make someone comfortable with me (or if he didn't seem comfortable and open, I would hold off).
But I need to know from the men, how should I present this idea? Should I put more emphasis on how I have personally chosen to forego orgasms because of the benefits to my reward circuitry or more on the loving connection I am looking for in a partner? Or what?

Hi, my name is imnotcoming. I've been lurking here for a few months and reading my copy of Cupid's Poisoned Arrow. I have decided to start a blog at wordpress rather than here, because it's more a of a writing project for me, but I'll be participating in the forums, too.
Thanks, Marnia and Gary, for this material. This is the most important thing I've read in the past few years. I'm much more optimistic about my dating future now.

____ is back. Day 43... I'm relaxing along with some Bob Marley-tunes. Although the morning woods have been absent and only barely present this week, I am not so worried. The recovery is non-linear, as mentioned many times. I don't worry about my dysfunction that much anymore. It serves no real purpose to feed my anxiety. My cold and coughs has gotten slightly worse, I don't know if they have been effecting me. I'm gonna visit the doctor soon. I have been having long periods of coughing and having a cold the past year and I'm sick of it! Time to put an end to that!

Hi everyone,
I have been lurking on this forum for several months. Thanks everyone for your insightful and open discussions! I am impressed that people are willing to share and discuss such intimate issues with each other on here. I also admire the courage of many people on these forums who are struggling with difficult addiction and social anxiety issues. Many people could learn a lot from you!
I'm wondering if anyone here can relate to my experiences with abstinence and could share some thoughts or experiences.
