Most of us have pretended to be ok with something to save a relationship, or just to cope. What’s something you pretended to be ok with?

    Salacious, but not graphic.

    Anal.

    I hate it. But every so often I’ll allow it as a “treat”. And I have to pretend to enjoy it.

    Ugh.

        I blame it on porn. Positions that put the naughty bits on full display while sexing are not exactly … ah … comfortable. But porn has become the training ground for sex for so many men. 🙄

        There’s give and take in every relationship. Sometimes I do things I’m not terribly fond of because my partner is. Sometimes the other direction is true. I don’t do it frequently (because I don’t really like any aspect of it), but sometimes 🤷‍♀️ you do things for love.

        As for pretending to enjoy it, it wouldn’t be much of a “reward” if I just visibly endured it. I don’t go with people who only think of themselves; they usually want me to enjoy myself as well. I can do something that I don’t really like for a while if it makes someone I love happy. And probably vice versa.
