* Yes\n* No\n* I never really thought about it\n* \n* \n

Intimate relationships

When someone goes to touch me in a friendly way:

neophyte — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:58:04 -0600

* I brace and stiffen and look real obvious and uncomfortable\n* I back away and avoid physical contact, but try not to make it look too obvious\n* I try to grin and bear it, and just wait for it to be over\n* I love being touched, hugged, and kissed\n* I'm usually the one touching, hugging, and kissing people, first\n

Describe your Dating-Days:

Kerry — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:33:39 -0600

* I never had a bad date -- I would always make sure I'd have a good time, even if I saw no future with the person\n* I never liked dating; it's far too socially stressful, so I prefer to keep to myself and a small group of close friends\n* I have no desire to date because it means sex and intimacy will be required\n* My dates went from psycho-bad to much worse, so I decided to marry the first sane person I could find\n* What's "dating"?\n

Intimate relationships

Sex for me is:

let's talk about sex, baby

Kerry — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 04:44:39 -0700

I've been reading some of the posts from the RAD I had help moderate. This one really hit home, for me. HA! Get it??? "hit", "struck me hard"... I kill myself with my inside jokes sometimes... anyhoo.. the topic is Rough Sex and the person with Attachment Disorders. Do they go hand-in-hand? If so, why?

Intimate relationships

When I think of "home", I think of:

Kerry — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:42:06 -0600

* Where I was born\n* Where I was raised\n* Where I am loved\n* Being alone\n

Adult RAD's and their baby-steps towards secure intimacy

Kerry — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:09:24 -0600

I've been reading a lot of posts on a website that teaches sex/porn addicts how to reform their detached sex-deeds through non-orgasmic learning. The author of the book and website wrote the following post-reply that made me think about the Adult RAD's Response.

She wrote: [In response to a question about the shelf-life of her book's suggested techniques]

A few words about ADDICTIONS

Kerry — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:18:22 -0600

Coffee, cookies, chocolate. Sports, sex, smoking, Drugs, diets, drinking. Pick a demon, any demon.... which one claims the life of someone you know? Add a dick; shun. Addiction.

The Divorce-Alternative

Kerry — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:17:01 -0600

I had a very interesting discussion with a good friend today... we were talking about the moral-alternative to divorcing a man who makes a great dad, but hideous husband. Often, a couple will get married because a child is involved, but later divorce in misery because the marriage aspect of the relationship sucked. Specifically... no one was getting sex or feeling remotely liked, "in that way".

Touched

Kerry — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:28:28 -0600

I'm funny when it comes to touching and being touched. I can easily be around another person's body, and see it for it's anatomical parts, but don't ask me to get personal, because I will have to let my mind out so it can stray. My professional goal, as assigned by my adoptive parents, was to become a R.N. As a nurse, it was my job to take care of what was hurting or causing infection in another person. Picture for a moment, what that job implies...

Men Sexually Abused in Childhood, Survivors

Kerry — Thu, 22 May 2008 03:52:24 -0600

A man climbs up the tree of his life, his own family tree, digging into his memories in order to understand the cause of his difficulties and weariness of life. The difficulties for a male survivor of sexual abuse to share intimacy with his girlfriend.

Overcoming the fear that lives inside

Kerry — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 10:52:33 -0600

I think it's safe to say each one of us has hidden fears and insecurities within us. In fact, I cannot imagine anyone being so perfect that deep inside there isn't s single fear related to weakness or personal flaw. [Of course, I could be wrong...!]

My question is, how does the person imobilized by mistrust get over the feelings of fear and angry panic, especially when "change" means "more of the same"?

My father was in the military

* Yes\n* No\n* Both fathers were in the military\n* I'm not sure\n

What in the world could I possibly be thinking when I read this?

Kerry — Wed, 21 May 2008 07:20:29 -0600

I have an unnatural need to know what makes a healthy-relationship So. Call it obsession, call it addiction, call it having-too-much-time-on-my-hands, but the quest for wholeness in my mind goes far beyond my laundry-list of adoption issues -- my quest is simply all rooted and stemed from them!

So... I find the following article written by a man, (I'm assuming, but these days, who knows anymore?). And he offers some friendly advice in terms of finding/attracting a certain-type of female.

The Big Question: What makes a Nice Guy worth keeping?

Kerry — Fri, 23 May 2008 11:30:01 -0600

I've been coming-down on the opposite-sex in one of my blogs, "What in the world could I possibly be thinking when I read this?" because I feel there is a huge amount of harmful-thinking taking place in the dating-scene.

Truth is, no gender is free from making bad choices or bad moves in the love-sex department. We are all human, and we ALL make mistakes. I believe this is how we learn how to get things right in our lives.

Abuse within child placement cases

In the name of WHAT?

Kerry — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:24:48 -0700

There's no hiding the fact that I am a compulsive People-Watcher. I'm completely facinated by the workings of love-matches, and how they work (or don't work).

Working as a nurse in a hospital, then as a sales associate at Victoria's Secret, I've seen just about every dynamic I can think of co-existing between two (or more) people. Nothing shocks or surprises me, other than those relationships that seem mutually happy and satisfying well past the "honeymoon stage".

Sex with your current partner is:

Kerry — Wed, 21 May 2008 04:00:14 -0600

* A very good, (if not great), satisfying experience for both of us each and every time\n* OK. I suppose it could be better, but I don't know how or where to begin to improve it\n* Terrible, but my partner doesn't know that\n* Non-existent. We stopped having sex a long time ago, and it's awful\n* Non-existent. We stopped having sex a long time ago, and it works well for us\n

Looking back at your dating-pattern, was your "First Love" a toxic relationship?

Kerry — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:51:33 -0600

* Yes, absolutely!\n* It wasn't the healthiest relationship, but it wasn't the worst I found for myself, either\n* I did ok making dating-choices, so my first-love was a good experience\n* My "First-Love" has become my only love\n* \n
