Trotzdem, a happy lady who got fucked real good and had a great time- in spite of everything hard in her life.

And this isn’t “easy” like lustful sex. This isn’t the storybook romance we read about in pulp, poetry, etc. Our culture sells us an ideal- We rarely measure up to ideals. It takes work, it takes trust, it takes security in yourself and joy in your body how it is. That’s the work 💪 So worth it 🩷

Okay but haven’t you read Angela Chen’s “Ace?” This is allosexual-normalcy! You’re part of the oppression! Pause, Chen writes that they fuck their partner to connect- they don’t feel desire for sex, but they do it for pleasure and connection. That’s what Perel/Nagoski/Reilly all say about LTR sex!

“Maybe I’ll disappoint my partner and she’ll stop wanting me” 👉🏻 Insecurity, she’s asking now. “I’ve been sexually abused by partners, this feels similar” 👉🏻 trauma. OK, how do we heal and rewrite/close that story? How to identify this is not that? “I wish I felt sexier rn” 👉🏻 insecurity again, shame

We might not like what we find- Insecurity, Sexual trauma, Shame, Performance anxiety, Etc Okay, so I’m just going to say no to getting my pussy licked because it might not be as good or magical? Because I might not be/feel my best? If I don’t try, I’m not feeling pleasure. What is actually lost?

And that’s the key- interrogating what we feel and investigating where that negative association/vehement response is coming from. What parts of me, even as a happy hedonist most of my life, fears sex enough to guard it behind lust/desire? What stories do I hold that tell me “no, only like this?“

Sometimes, right before, I think “fuck, this is like a chore, I just want to play video games or something else” Okay, but why not? Why really? What are you feeling about it? “Anxious. What if it’s embarrassing/i feel shame/it’s disappointing?” Yeah, that happens sometimes, sex is messy. So what?

I don’t even really want to eat or sleep or shower or clean the flat either, but I’m still doing those because I know it’s what is healthy for me and us. Pre surgery, esp pre-transition Cupcake could never do this- too penis-focused in sex- either it “works” and my body wants it or don’t bother.

Cupcake, think different (or something)-era 🏳️‍⚧️🧁💭 @cupcake.rip · 29/09/2026
This feels like being a bonobo with a huge forebrain- Knowing what’s good for the relationship and body and just doing it regardless of the prevailing social/narrative norms around sex. Like I’m sick rn- on work leave, chronically exhausted- I just want to sleep, stretch, and play factorio lately.

I think I am really understanding what these books have been talking about re planning sex and growing emotional maturity and connection in LTRs now. Like yes, sex drive waxes and wanes, but we, as apes, don’t only have sex to satiate horniness, we do it for a myriad of reasons and benefits.

My libido is quite low from low thyroid function, naturally. So desire isn’t really the name of the game for my sex life lately. So lately I’m practicing some intentional, pursuit of sex for the sake of connection and pleasure- AKA scheduled sex with my partner. Some notes 🧵

Doctor called me yesterday: "how are you feeling? Are you feeling tired, bad, and like doing nothing?" Me: yes, exactly, so the labs show this is expected? Her: Correct, your thyroid meds are too still, I am increasing them to (about double). I guess I feel validated in my hunch. Small wins.

Ngl, I was really hoping for super powers. I read this and my ego did the "this is worthless to me" meme. Baby girl, Nothing you're going to do will change people to make them want you more, to make them want to treat you better. We just gotta say "No, that's not my job"- and hold that drawn line

I'm at the part of "It Takes One to Tango: How I Rescued My Marriage with Almost No Help from My Spouse" where the big reveal happens: The skill for staying married? Choosing too. Choosing to stay, to cope, to accept that you will fight and you won't change them. You learn to just be happy anyway.

And it's weird, like so weird- To be so rules-focused and learn "oh, the rules are just schema projections, they're made up. Wait, so why are we so attached to them? We're too divergent, queer, and progressive to believe such things." And you realize "oh, traumatic experiences reinforced this."

> If she loved me, ... No > I really want her to want that. And it hurts that she doesn't. No > She should know/understand ... No > I wish she knew/understood ... Yes 💯 > Because we're married, you owe me ... No > What do I want to ask for? If she says no, what will I do next? Yes, but very hard.

Studying differentiation in relationships is wild as an abused, neurodivergent person. Like oh, I can just do/say that? > I've given more than I wanted to give, and I'm angry about it. What do I want to choose going forward? > I want her to understand. She may not. I can still make the decision.

when I refinanced the ypsi house, I was so "yeah whatever" about it while my loan agent was so excited. "But Cupcake, your interest rate is so good now!" "Yeah OK Jay, but it's all made up numbers. $350k is too abstract to comprehend. We're shuffling monopoly money 🤷‍♀️" "Um, ok I guess. Sign here."

But I’m still a little bashful thinking about her holding me while I make the ugly crying face- “I DIDNT KNOW IT COULD FEEL LIKE THIS, HOLY FUCK A—. Thank you. thank you. What the fuck?” (sobbing) That’s a lot of love and support and safety- Couldn’t feel like this if we didn’t build it together.

We talked a little about Waking Tiger by Levine and trauma trapped stress/energy. I mentioned my experiences with the soas and pelvic floor muscles in particular for that for me. I didn’t expect to have a whole body kept the score discussion at midnight in the dark but it happened and it was good.

She asked me later about the shaking and what I think that was about. I explained I’ve been working out big, painful, months-long tension knots with deep massage and stretching the last few days and this just felt like a dam breaking and a lot of that could just flow out of me in that moment.

This was deeply unexpected and frankly embarrassing when it happened, but it happened with A and she’s such a sweetheart- gentle and compassionate about this stuff- so it wasn’t a big deal.

I don’t really suffer the “that will spoil the excitement” crowd socially so it’s not something I intersect with anymore either. Those people find a way of self selecting out of your life.

Clear communication is a super power. Managing ambiguity is safe, clear, and kind. We are helping to heal a whole community- exemplifying “hey there’s a good way to just negotiate what you want with dignity, clarity, and shamelessness.” We grow together- one hook-up negotiation at a time 💕

Last night I took my first dose of DIY EE. Patches were fine enough I guess, but I’m ready to get back to cyberpunk transness again thank you. I’d rather just source my own, better hormones than rely on the German system’s medicalization and gatekeeping checks. Also started thyroid meds. YOLO 📈

Reading “Mating in Captivity” by Esther Perel now, about halfway through it already. I like it, but I always wish for more genderqueer representation since we’re talking about identity, gender roles, and shame in these books a lot. Taps the “I guess someday I write my own book” sign…
