I told my girlfriend

Unread postby leotardlove » Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:33 pm
Hey

I just told my new girlfreind of my love of thong leotards and leggings when we were talking openly the other night about fetishes. Shes so cool, she said well if you enjoy it we should have a go, anything to make you happy. As I told her she makes me very happy but it would be cool to wear them sometimes. She said yes stright away and we are now shopping for some smaller items as mine wont fit her! I can't believe Ive found her, shes ace!! How lucky am I?

I told my bribe last night... that I like to watch and wear leotards.

She took her ring off, and took all my things off the closet...

She things I'm not a hetero... and took me out of her house...

is it true? I would like to express my commiserations to you!
I hope that she will be willing to discuss it and that she understands you.
Maybe you have told it to her the wrong way, not sensitive enough. :roll:

i'm sorry for you but she doesn't deserve you and you wouldn't be happy with her

in these latest years i've had some luck

- one girlfriend wore spandex leggings and shorts while sleeping with me.. we had sex while she was wearing shorts and leotards and swimsuits. i never told her i had a fetish but she wasn't dumb... she accepted it

- when i became single i had sex with one of my friends while she was wearing a blue adidas swimsuit. i only had sex because she was wearing it :x

- had another steady girlfriend. she wore some spandex shorts and had sex with me with spandex catsuits. she hated spandex bc she felt uncomfortable and it was getting more difficult to have sex with spandex

- after that i met a girl on the web (lol) and when we 1st met she went to my house and slept there. she had no pajama and she wore some blue spandex shorts. i couldn't resist that and we had sex (unfortunately she had to undress them). one time she wore a black catsuit but took it off before we had sex :/

- i met another girl and on our second night together we started kissing and it ended with me wearing a blue spandex catsuit and she was wearing a black one. she liked the idea because it was kinda kinky (i find girls to be very curious). she's a blue eyed cute brunette and i loved to cum all over her catsuit. we were from different cities and i tried to be with her&spandex but she didn't go for it :/

- i friend of a friend started throwing herself at me. she's kinda gothic and i started teasing her talking about spandex. then i had her at my house, she wore it and we had sex 2 or 3 times per encounter, always with spandex catsuits :]

- then i stopped seeing this girl because i fell in love with my current girlfriend. i talked openly with her about my fetish. she accepted it and found it kinky :) but she hated one piece swimsuits or spandex clothes
her best friend loved the idea i had a fetish for spandex, swimsuits and leotards (and tutus) and said "i wish my boyfriend had a fetish like yours!!" eheh
i've had sex (with my gf, of course, not with her friend) with spandex catsuits and repeated it yesterday. then she said "i'm starting to like it" :]

We talked a lot yesterday, and she is confident that I'm not homo.
we got together again, but she stil hates any kind of spandex by now, and threw away the swimsuit I gave her, and asked me to delete all photos of she in spandex from my pc and cell phone, and told me never do this wearing spandex stuff, neither think of it or ask her to wear.

I don't know how long I'm going to stay with her. She doesn't want to accept me the way I am. I got really sad about it, I love her so much, but now I can't be happy.

I don't know what to do, but I can't live without both of them.. my girlfriend and my fetish. I can stop talking about it, I can hide anyhow, but still I know she doesn't accept it at all.

leotarddummie and Ryche

it's very complicated to be with someone that won't accept the way we are.

life has told me that the best thing to do is to joke around and tease with her at first.. and then (gradually) tell her about the fetish. if she's open minded she'll accept it.
just don't wait 1 or more years to tell, because she'll think "i don't know him, she had a secret fetish all this time and never told me, i dunno if i can trust him"

I agree, Jack.

I dealt with some people over the years who were very negative and not accept them for who they are. Once upon a time in my previous life, I was like that. When I got into the Air Force about 10 years ago, I had to change my way of thinking and learn to accept people for who they are and their background.

Not too many people didn't accept me for who I was. I just cut my distance from them unless I was in a professional environment with them. When I was around them, I had to learn how to tune them out and to this day I'm still learning. It's always a life-long learning process.

I even loss a friend due to the spandex fetish. When I told her about it, she just laughed. One day, we got into a heated discussion and she said it was immature to have a spandex fetish. And brother, I was livid. I thought it'd be best to let it go, but it still bothered me. I got a hold of her, chewed her out, and cut my ties.

These days, I don't tell anyone about it unless they're open minded. If they're not open-minded, I won't tell them and the conversations will be limited.
Arrivederci and Godspeed,

The question is do they not accept the way other people are or do they not accept themselves?
I think, that the more you have experienced and tried the more open minded you are. After all there are things that you should not try out like hard drugs or such. But what to say against special clothes? There is nothing to say against this if the wearer just wears them just for fun without troubling the surroundings and other people!

Lycrafan,

That is an intelligent question. From where I sit, the people, who don't accept others, don't accept themselves subconciously. They won't say it up front, but they'd mock other people and not accept them as a self-fullfilling prophecy. Unfortunately, the majority would allow themselves become influenced by the media about what's hot and what's not. If it's a piece of clothing not ruled by mainstream status, they'd turn their thumbs down and noses up.

I'm on the same page as you are. I believe life is too short not to have fun with something we enjoy. Like for an example, I live in a baseball town and I follow hockey more than baseball. If I follow baseball, it'd be the Mets, instead of the local team who are the Cardinals. Many would call it sacreligious, nuts or just being eccentric. I don't care. I take it as a compliment.

after lots of arguments, she said "I accept you", but I don't wan't see it, or even notice.
for me it is just great, now I know that she is loving me entirely. she doesn't like it, but she accept it.

:D yee you should gradually tease her about it specially when your on the phone, just come up with ideas and mention spandex in an idea and if she finds it kinky then your in for a win but if she pauses and thinks wtf then i guess shes either too afraid and in denial or just doesn't find the idea kinky at all (i wouldn't understand why though). :x

I'd be careful. Try to re-introduce it slowly again. If it's something important to you, then it'll only lead to disappointment if she never comes around. Given that it's a sexual fetish, it could impact your sex life greatly.

Why the heck is that?? First thing anyone thinks is that we're homosexuals or some kind of sick perverts who need pscychatric help?

My own theory is that we see woman's bodies in the amazing fabric and it just looks incredibly sexy, just look at some of the pics at the header of this forum..stunning!! Some of us admire intensly while others try wearing it. I think wearing is just gives us a deeper sense of feeling connected/associated with it. Does it mean we want to go out and blow guys and take it in the rear? OF COURSE NOT....but it's the knee-jerk reaction we most commonly get.

I think it's always best to start slow, compliment her on how good she looks in it, encourage her to wear it, etc. A lot of woman don't like lycra because they are self-conscious of their bodies. Remember, lycra is unforgiving and they say it's a privelege to wear lycra. My own wife refuses to wear a unitard entirely because it outlined her slightly bulging tummy....so there ya go. But encourage them, even buy them stuff, most woman love when you buy them anything!

As for wearing it yourself, just ask them if they'd like to see you wear it. If they look at you like a freak, best to figure it's NOT good to proceed further. My personal trainer loves a man (in good shape) in lycra, so she encourages me and now my wife is getting into it too....but that's because my trainer told her I dig it and told her it would make me happy...so my wife's interest isn't all that genuine, so call her "tolerant with mild interest".

I will add this; I'm not wearing thong leotards or anyting feminine....and that's my suggestion, wear lycra made for guys. I wear triathlon suits, wrestling singlets and cycling shorts...garments made and designed for men. These tri-suits are all sporty with great graphics and many of them have really nice fabrics. Heck, 2XU has an Elite tri-suit that has a black shiny-soft material that feels like lingerie and looks almost like liquid-leather. Hey, if you're wearing men's clothing it's not like they can really call you a cross-dressing freak. In other words, find an acceptible way to wear it. I even wear my tri-suits in spin-class at the gym and then in the pool when I swim...right out in the open. Some woman don't notice, a few may wonder what I'm wearing...but I've seen many woman checking it out and they like a guy who has the confidence and the body to wear lycra. My own trainer says "it's HOT". You can't win every woman's heart, but it's fun trying!

Well said DT. Couldnt put it better myself.

I for one am like you. NOT gay to want to wear lycra. Im all for women in lycra. But I wont go out in public in 'womens' lycra as it would be frowned upon in my area. Guys wearing guys lycra is fine by me. But only if they have the physique for it IMO. It just looks plain bizarre if an 'out of shape' dude is wearing it with no shirt over. Same with dudes in a thong leo in public. Not that I have ever seen a dude wearing a thong leo. lol

But generally a dude can get away with (demographically speaking) wearing spandex/lycra if it serves a purpose as DT said.

That being said, have fun.
There is no such thing as 'too tight'.

Thanks for the kind words, glad to see someone else is on the same line of thinking.

I did my spin classes and swim today wearing my triathlon suit....in spin a few gals were constantly keeping their eye on me. Just imagine how we look at a hot gal wearing lycra, and then imagine a gal looking at you like that. That's my motivation: I'm a small-minded attention whore who gets ego-strokes by the sense of positive reinforcement that comes from feeling attractive to the opposite sex. I'm shallow, materialistic and my needs can be gratified by the most mundane of things....I'm good with that!!!

There is nothing better then wearing lycra in the middle of a dim-lit room full of hot/sweaty woman while you exercise to rockin' music, burn calories and hope they think of you when they later 'satisfy' themselves. Oh yes, I can not only go there, I'm there!!! :D :D

:idea: Could it be possible that a 'reverse' type of forum to this exist in the future??? :o Where instead of male forum members posting women in spandex and lycra its the other way around? women forum members posting pics on guys wearing spandex at gyms and sports???

I have been noticing on a lot of triathlon pics i look at to post here an aweful lot of female spectators around the course. 65-70+% of triathlon participant/athletes are guys for the obvious reasons. Could it be that the gals are taking pics of us guys in tight spandex and maybe a few of them start a forum*???... COULD BE... :lol:

Is it only me who experienced this...?

Postby Lycrafan2004 » Fri Feb 27, 2009 4:40 pm
Since the server move the forum seems to be slow to load threads with many attachments (Davislove :D )
Is it only me or has anybody else recognized this?

Dont get me wrong! I dont want to be the fool!
I know how difficult it is to find a server for running a forum because i am and was moderator of several forums and groups and have run a forum myself which has been closed years ago. The range of possible good and reliable forums is getting smaller when you want to run a forum that allows many members to be online at the same time, to upload attachments and the range is the smallest when it comes to fetish content and even porn content. So i do not want to give me this stress anymore in finding server space! And this is another reason to shout out to Killatron a very big "Thank you!" for running this forum! I know how :roll: it is!

So, what may be the solution?
I try to open not to much files (uploaded to the forum's server, i am not talking about external files) at the same time. If the forum is hooked up i will wait some minutes.

Thanks for the kudos and such.

But so far, I haven't noticed a real speed issue with the forums. The new overhead banner is a good chunk of data, but its the same on each page so your browser should cache it.

That being said, speeds do seem slower on the new server. I clocked downloads at over 800K/s before, now its less than half that.

What I am more worried about is network time out issues. How many of you have experienced time outs when downloading videos followed by continual time outs when trying to access ANY part of the site? Operation returns to normal after a few minutes. Ive got a few reports that some of you are experiencing just that. But if the problem extends further, I want to know.

Hi, Killatron,

Yes, I've been experiencing apparent time-outs when loading pages of forum threads with lots of posted thumbnails. I've also emailed you (killatron at gmail dot com) about it earlier this week (2/26). Did you get that?

Please let me know your thoughts, and thanks.

I sent you a email response Bram.

Lycrafan, are you experiencing issues with threads only with attachments, or ones with both a mix of local and remote attachments? Obviously I cant do anything about remote attachments, but perhaps a tighter limit on local ones could help things. Also what sort of connection do you have?

Hmm no issues here. I actually just got done complaining to my ISP, and since have tripled my speed from what it was at something like 10mbps. But with the site itself i have not noticed anything yet. Its amazing what u can do with a crumbling economy. The ISP's will bend to your will to save a few customers.

While yeah the attachments can be disabled, that would certainly be for the worse. Actually, we need to get away from imagebam. Their new "adult content" BS they slap on all the photos that sometimes hide the image BEHIND an ad forcing you to somehow click or reload it is completely unacceptable. Worse, they constantly open new webcam windows all over the place. They use to be a decent image host, now they are just flat out horrible.

The problems do seem very situational. Its either location, or overall speed that is having some users experience issues while others don't. As I said in an earlier post, are either of you having trouble with the video downloads on the main site? I myself have noticed time outs and lock outs as I described.

Used to be great, now they have the adult spyway pop hell click to continue or skip ad crap

http://www.imagebam.com/
Then they were good until they sold out TOO to the adult adds

http://imgplace.com/
This one seems to be good (FOR NOW)

Lycrafan, are you experiencing issues with threads only with attachments, or ones with both a mix of local and remote attachments? Obviously I cant do anything about remote attachments, but perhaps a tighter limit on local ones could help things. Also what sort of connection do you have?

Only with local saved files as SHL discribed it. The Thumbs load almost correct and fast, but the original files hung up when i open a larger one or two or three at the same time.
I have DSL 2000.
I did not check the images and videos on the main page yet.

If you have problems with banners and other ads get yourself Firefox and the Adblock Plus incl. the Adblock Filters and the Noscript add-on. This will help you to block frames, scripts, adds and other malware from execution generally. You can also block single scripts and particular images from being loaded once.

I do not think that disabling attachments is a solution. The forum is so large and has so much attachments, it would be a loss. And it is easy to upload images here, somebody who has not the experiences with Imagehosts may be put off of uploading because of the blinking banners and all the registrations there. But here it is easy and done with one click.

Ok, having issues with the full images is a different story. That sorta relates to the time out issue with videos. Im still working on the issue as a whole, but the host continues to say everything is fine.... I tell them the average user doesn't have 100+Mbit connections in their home and need more lax server rules... I had a similar problem on another project with these guys, it sorta just went away after a while. For now, try to load the attachments one at a time, or use a download manager to cue up the downloads. Something with resume and free, like download accelerator plus.

Anyway, adblock and firefox. This is not a good solution because firstly, that blocks my ghetto little Adbrite ads (you guys are all clicking those at the bottom of each post right?) and more importantly, the average user of this site is still using IE6, with no plugins. Sure it would be better if we could get them to switch, but honestly that probably isnt going to happen.

For now, a good external host works. As SHL pointed out, Img Place has potential. Im sure if everyone starts using them, they will sell out too though. I need a mod for this board that allows better organization of the attachments. I hate that they have to stack on top of each other. Even two columns would be so much better.

I tried now several times to open the girls in leggings thread over the past few days and always it stuck at about the middle of the page (I have to admit that i delete the browser's cache from time to time to keep the disk clean). Now i have recognized that the thread will resume loading the attachments after a few minutes and when i come back after about 5 to 10 minutes it loaded in full. What does that mean? Is it a bandwidth problem? Maybe mine Bandwidth?

I also have a similar problem. When downloading http://www.tpowis.net/data/dance/video/ ... fullop.wmv for instance, the download stops after 3 or 4 megs and I need to wait several minutes to be able to download anything again. I tried resuming with FlashGet many times, but the resulting video was broken - it stuttered a lot, so obviously the server resumed from a wrong spot in the file.

Yes me too I am also experiencing the 'malfunctions of my own doing' :lol: . It only happens when there are many attachments mainly the triathlon thread and seldom with other heavy download threads.About a third of the time it loads fully but takes about 3+ minutes. When it doesnt after 4+ minutes it 'times out' and you get the red X's (on the pics that dont load) or the forum goes offline. It lasts about a minute or so and the forum is back.
[i cant speak about videos, i have not uploaded or downloaded videos here]

Curiously this was happening PRIOR to the server change with that triathlon thread.It was pretty long before the server transfer and I was experiencing that issue on accasion before.

I suggested to the moderator to break up that one thread into a second page and transfer a few posts so that there are about 1/2 the pics loading per page.
I dont know why this forum is slow to bring up automatically another (fresh) page when a page is 'full' or very long with many posts or attachments. It is slow in recognizing that hence thats why this is happening. [the solution would be to 'force' a forum's thread to bring up a new fresh page (page2,3,4 ect) when it senses that there are too many attachments or the page is so long vertically- long scroll down]

Another malfunction that is present now that was not before is that if you take a while (several minutes) before pressing submit one gets a server unavailabe and you lose the post completely...you have to redo it. Thanks

I think it's because the forum can only support only so many megabytes. Each attachment can add up pretty quickly, that's why I go with Imagebam for remote hosting. It's just code and text which is nothing but actual jpg attachments can be pretty big especially large HQ pics up to 1mb each. Not sure what this forum can support or it's limit?

Ok, it looks like by moving the site videos to another server has fixed the download timeout issue. Im still waiting for reports to show up to tell me if bandwidth consumption is back to normal.

As for the forum, while I am not personally experiencing any issues Im still looking into it. The problem isn't so much size, or number of posts. Its seems to be a glitch in the server software. To my understanding, somehow the server is interpreting numerous downloads or continual downloads as some sort of attack. Once it times out, it will lock your IP out for a while, about 10 minutes. After, things return to 'normal'.

The problem is this doesn't happen to everyone. Ive been on tech support lines for hours trying to get them to acknowledge the issue. So far, no luck. My only option is to move the forum, this would mean downtime for about a day or two. Im not there yet though, gonna keep things rolling here for a while and see if it can somehow be addressed.

I see, this sounds meaningfull and makes sense to me. I think 10 minutes is the time of waiting.

"To my understanding, somehow the server is interpreting numerous downloads or continual downloads as some sort of attack."

Looks like I am 'off the hook' for my attachment intensive way of posting. Image Guess now I can continue my 'attack' of attachments. :lol: I have been sprinkling in some hosting sites pics and I have laid off posting in the leggings and triathlon threads even though I have pics to post. I will hold off a few more days before I touch base there. Hope everything gets resolved killatron.

Use www.ImageBam.com and you will have no more problems. The forum can handle that. Splitting pages with multiple attachments will only pro-long the problem. To fix the current problem attachment, you'll have to
go back to your older attachment posts,
download them,
delete the attachments,
then re-upload to ImageBam

i think it is better to upload them to the forum because it is in a closed area, you can not repost them the easy way (almost each filehoster gives you the link to each file, so reposting to other forums is easy, that supports lurkers and grabbers to take other peoples material and repost it elsewhere to produce themselves as good members, even if this is no real "contribution").
Yes, after all it does not matter where you upload your things. The links are provided and you can post them here.
But you are no longer the master of your files when you upload them elsewhere, you have to register to the imagehosters to be able to delete the files, if this function is been given and supported.

The problem that I described above seems to be gone now, I could download the whole file in one go.
