I have a question, that...you'll probably understand my reasons for posting anonymously once you finish reading.

The local culture is very open and laid back about sexual interest. It's different as hell from my own home, where men who show sexual attraction are viewed as disgusting perverts and assumed to be dangerous, while people don't even fucking think about women having an interest in sex beyond wanting to have children. Some of the posts I've seen here would get everyone involved labeled sexual deviants for the shit they talk about in the open.

My question is, how do people adapt to it? I'm here doing my damn best to keep my mind out of the gutter because I've been taught thinking about anyone you don't want to date like that is disrespectful as hell and fucking creepy, but then I turn around and see people openly asking for hookups or rating each other's asses, and instead of people calling that shit skeevy, they either go along with it or treat it like a funny joke.

I know it's not prudishness, believe-you-fucking-me, my life would be easier if I was just naturally shy or reserved or whatever. It's an extreme form of culture shock, and I wish I didn't end up feeling like a dick constantly over the kinds of mental images I get from both the way people act in public around here and some of the things the prismals hand out as fucking party favors.

Not exactly but they didn't really try to stop him either they just sort of stood around awkwardly and pretended they weren't staring at us only they didn't even do that very well.

The worst part is that we even did put on those stupid swimsuits because the boys covered for us the night before and the guy who bought us suits was guilt-tripping us.

Yeah he really did!!!

He can be a good friend sometimes but other times he is just the worst basically any time girls are involved he's a terrible influence on the kid who lives with his family and is probably the reason that kid is obsessed with scoring all the time.

And the worst part of all is that after we were in the dumb swimsuits he said we weren't hot yet because we were just kids or something like that but we were going to be soon that's when we pushed them in.

When girls are involved he NEVER thinks not ever.

And then he signed all of us girls up for the school festival beauty pageant and we couldn't back out because our new homeroom teacher we got after the first one died wasn't letting anyone it sucked.

We got him back by signing him up for the school festival drag queen pageant and the rest of the boys too because they were just letting him be that way again.

[personal profile] highsteaks 2019-08-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I forgot about that part ok it's been months mostly I just remembered feeling like a side of beef and not in a good way that's why we pushed them at the stream the way all u boys were all looking at us made us feel bad not just u.

Look u knew Teddie before me and u still spend the most time with him and I guess I just assumed it was ur fault because ur always the one who gets weird about girls.

[There's a bit of a lull and maybe Chie thinks he just dropped the convo. But then:]

"i guess maybe it helps no one would want me"

u rly think i dont know how that feels?


[He switches the chat to private at this point and he drops the text speak.]

It's what my Shadow talked about, actually. That and some other stuff, but that was part of it. And I know my... weirdness and stuff means you think I'm actually all for this place but I'm NOT. It's... it's weird. It's really weird and awkward. I've hooked up with a couple people but it's not like we're dating and like that makes me feel like a sleezeball even though I know the others were okay with it and have these open relationships but like...

Well, yeah. So, I get it. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel like you were alone in this or something.

[Yeah, she's dropping the anon now. He knows it's her anyway. And maybe she'll make some more visible effort at not doing so many run-on sentences and not shortening the word 'you.']

Oh.

It really is weird and awkward and I don't know how people do it, Yosuke, I don't know how anyone here just hooks up with people, especially strangers. I've only been with Souji and Hifumi and I've been in love with Souji for most of a YEAR and even with Hifumi I'd been good friends since I got here. We ended up finding each other when we were lost on the moon and we got picked up by the Prismals together and she's just been really important to me. And I still didn't kiss her until she turned into a really pretty dragon.

But then you hear about other people having crazy moons where they're just banging everyone they meet and they don't seem to have the problem and then you have to wonder if maybe you're the big prudish weirdo.

And sometimes I worry that Souji is going to... I dunno. Find people who're better than me. And spend more time with them. And I'll be lonely and left behind. I know he likes me back but there are a lot of really Special people here.

And we both know I'm not.

Hey, don't talk like that.

You're special, and I'm NOT just saying that, okay?

But... yeah, I don't even have a girlfriend or anything to fall back on. It just... sort of happened and I mean, it was fun at the time. Obviously, no bones about that. But now that I'm really thinking about it, I just feel weird about it. Then yeah, I feel like some prudish weirdo. Especially because doing the whole PDA thing is already a bit too much for me. Just casually having sex? I don't know either.

But I can say this, Partner wouldn't just leave you. Not like that, anyway. He's with you because he likes you too, Chie. That much is obvious. But he is being a lot more uh... open about this than I expected and maybe it's something you should talk to him about since you're worried? I'd like to think I know him well enough to help you but even that threw me off guard. I can try and talk to him about it too, though. The whole... sleeping with other people a lot, if you want?

I don't know how people do it either, Chie. I'm not sure how I did it, aside from just... going with it, I guess. But now I feel odd about it since I've always just really wanted a relationship, you know? Not just a hook-up. But this place just makes everything all screwy and out of whack.
