Same. I have no shame about it but I don't see the benefit of wearing it like a badge. I've told everyone that needs to know which is enough for me. I'm in a straight relationship anyway and I can't imagine that changing.
That's awesome I rarely meet other women who lift, I had the same issue putting on muscle. It's one of the reasons why I started lifting weights. My last job was physically demanding and I couldn't keep up. When I was little I wanted to be Dominique Dawes, I would practice for hours in my backyard lol. My mom couldn't afford lessons so I watched many recorded shows.
I've been married for almost 16 years and my husband has been nothing but supportive he was the only person I cared about knowing. I decided I was going to make my marriage work because it wasn't an unhappy relationship it was just my secret that was hurting us.
Unless me and my husband get a divorce or decide to have an open marriage I highly doubt that will happen. And at this point in my life I feel to old to start a new romantic relationship. I don't know if I would have the mental energy to get to someone new in that way. I'm somewhat of a recluse lol
On the Sex Values thread you got a really high score in affection/hedonism axis - almost fully exclusive. So I guess open marriage or a threesome is out of the question, wouldn't feel right to you? I guess it depends how much you feel like you need to explore your sexuality, if you are happy just knowing/accepting and using fantasy without feeling the need to practice it in your day to day life then that is definitely the easy choice. There are a lot of advantages to keeping things simple and monogamous.
No an open marriage or threesome wouldn't feel right to me, just the thought of it makes me feel less connected to my partner. I need that bond to be able to have intimacy. Also, I get very jealous if I feel like my partner is giving someone else more attention than me. And I know my husband feels the same with me. Yeah, that's a hard No for me. I feel that time has passed and I am happy with just knowing.
