For privacy purposes, I'm changing the names of the two main states involved. We shall call my home state Oz; my current state of residence Dixie; and Texas is just Texas. I live right next to Texas so I often go there to hide. Also, this is going to be long, but I will post a TL;DR at the end. Now let's get started...
I don't know why he keeps me around.
We basically met on Facebook. We went to school together a long time ago, but I don't remember him, & I don't think he remembers me. We started chatting a year ago when he invited me to a college party at his house. I was so tempted to go, but I declined. He would message me often. We would talk about life, politics, science stuff, religion, media, etc., but we would also tease, joke, and flirt inconspicuously a lot. He would often invite me to house parties; I always declined because I doubted his intentions. On a few occasions I'd try to draw him out for dinner, but he was always "busy" or broke. This dance we had going was really pathetic. In those first 5 months of talking things were kept innocent/clean; there may have been a few sexual references/undertones, but for the most part I made sure to keep it light so he wouldn't see me as a tease or slut or sex object.
I moved out of state in August, before we ever got to hang out in person. I felt bad for not going to his parties or putting more effort to see him. After my move, we started sexting (not pictures or anything, just steamy texts) a couple times. It was hotttt.
In September I went back to Oz for a concert and had the opportunity to see him at said concert, but I was too chicken/lazy to find him. When I got back to Dixie [after that trip] he texted me complaining about how he wished I would've found him at the concert. I felt bad so I sent him a dirty picture. Pretty soon we were sexting almost daily & he started asking for more & more pictures. I drew the line at vagina pictures, & he respected that (at first).

Pretty soon we were sexting almost daily & he started asking for more & more pictures. I drew the line at vagina pictures, & he respected that (at first).
By November we started having phone sex. The first time we did it he eased into it; like we casually talked on the phone for an hour before he suggested we do phone sex [with mutual masturbation]. I had sooo much fun with it & I orgasmed more than once. I never knew phone sex could be that fun & mutually satisfying! When he finished he politely ended the call. A couple days later he started texting me while I was very busy writing a last minute term paper, demanding I send explicit pictures, touch myself, & call him when I was about to orgasm so he could hear it. I was frustrated because I needed to do my work, so I bullshitted the phone sex; I just made moaning sounds to encourage his own climax & then he politely ended the call when he ejaculated. I felt bad that I faked it, but I was also mad that I had to cater to his needs before handling my own responsibilities.
A week later I went back to Oz for thanksgiving break. In the beginning half of the break he was busy with family affairs. But on my last morning there he texted me saying I should come over to his place *tonight* because none of his roommates would be there & we could fuck all night. I got very agitated about that poor timing & I felt so bad. Again, it was my fault for not hooking up because I had to leave & I didn't tell him my travel itinerary in advance.
When I got back to Dixie he cooled down his sexuality; I became the initiator. I was craving his poetic words & mystical voice one afternoon so I initiated contact in hopes that he would just call & talk dirty. But no, he wanted pictures to "get started" & I wasn't in the mood to take things that slow. So I sent a few teasing pictures & then he requested I send a picture of me orgasming. I was like "never mind, I have friends coming over for the football game" (which was a lie). He called me a tease but texted me for the next couple hours, exchanging sexual ideas. I obliged because that was within my comfort zone & fun. Once my imaginary friends left he finally called for phone sex. This time it was different. It seemed like I was the only one getting off & he wasn't doing anything to himself. I'm pretty sure he ended up faking his orgasm & I was utterly embarrassed when we hung up. I guess that's what I get for teasing him early on without following through.
A few days later we had a cocaine-induced falling out, and we seized contact. I was actually relieved because I was finally free from his demands & all the negative energy he influenced. I really thought we were over because he didn't contact me for like 12 days.

I went back to Oz for Christmas break and he started texting me again. Once again requesting nudes, & for the first time requesting video presentation of my goods. Also sent me a dick pic for the first time, presumably to get a pussy pic in return. I just sent him old pictures because I wasn't in a place to get freaky. He was out of state at the time, but I emptily promised we would hook up when he'd get back to Oz. When he got back to Oz I finally admitted we won't hook up. The excuse I gave was that I'm just not that promiscuous & want a relationship first (which was a lie). I just knew the relationship excuse would be most effective in deterring him lol. Though he seemed to turn more sensitive when I said I need a relationship; like he would text me just to see what's up; no more sexual demands or anything. (I'm guessing he was just feeling me out to see if he could somehow bate me into coming out of my shell).
In January, we both left Oz. I was flying back to Dixie & he was flying to Europe to study abroad. A week later the sexuality began again. We started sexting & then he demanded nudes once again. I finally sent a pussy pic, though I sort of regretted it because I didn't think it was sexy. He seemed somewhat content though so I don't know.
There was radio silence for a few weeks after. Then last week he reached out again with the sexting, requesting pictures. He sent a dick pic & two videos of him masturbating!! I was still prudent to his advance 'cause I'm shy. I sent 1 masturbation picture with somewhat dark lighting (so as not to reveal too much) & without skipping a beat he complained that I need better lighting. No praise for stepping out of my comfort zone; just criticism. Sooo I quit responding & ran away to Texas for the night (& posted a passive-aggressive snapchat titled "Running away from expectations"). As I was driving to Texas I kept repeating to myself that this was the final straw & that we were done (he has threatened to & actually stopped talking to me in the past for not complying with his demands). I have never before felt as hateful towards him as I did that night. In the following days I became depressed & full of guilt.
A week later (last night) he asked for naughty pictures once again. I felt more comfortable this time, I think I just figured he wouldn't remember Le pictures since he had presumably taken drugs earlier. So, with the assumption he wouldn't remember I sent a picture masturbating with a toy. This time there was at least a little reinforcement when he responded with "cum for me", but 5 seconds later he said he wanted more. I finished myself off (without showing him more) & sent a picture of my face when I was done. He didn't even open it until a few hours later. I presume he fell asleep.

I am agitated as I recap our interactions for the last few months. I am upset that I can't leave. I hate myself because even though he is super demanding, I can't help but feel like the greedy person here because I never give in all the way. I am upset that he keeps contacting me. He can easily get so much more from plenty of other ladies, so why does he waste his time trying to get me to fold? We have been talking for a year and have never met; shouldn't he be bored by now and/or lose hope? Given how mentally submissive I can be to him & how impressionable I can be [for him only], I'm surprised he doesn't find me pathetic and go find a stronger gal. I feel like he needs a woman who is independent & gives him a mental power struggle, who is secure enough to meet him in person & isn't intimidated by his expectations. I just don't think I'm worthy of his attention/time and I feel trapped.
It's sad because when we first started talking a year ago, I felt independent, empowered, & maybe even a little superior to him. Now, I feel controlled, insecure, trapped, & wayyyyy inferior (like I'm not even a human to him). I have never felt this way with any other romantic or sexual partners. It's stupid, especially since it's only a digital "relationship".

TL;DR: I've been talking to this Taurus for almost a year, without actually meeting him. I let him walk all over me most of the time, yet I've managed to withhold the real goods (so far). I don't know why he hasn't ditched me for good, given how elusive I have been and how prudish I can be. I have nothing to offer him. That is all.

I know my house placements too, I just don't know if they are relevant for the cause..
Posted by idkIf I try putting my foot down, he'll just keep asking until I either give in or I disappear. I tell him when he's walking all over me and he just responds with "You like it".
i'm sure you might be a little down on yourself. do you think it would improve how you felt about the situation if you put your foot down at times when you can't be complicit
if you feel like he's walking all over you, that doesn't mean he knows it without you telling him

This is my opinion.. I think you should stop talking to him. Might not be easy to, but, You deserve better treatment. Please believe that.
When he messages, ignore it or put him on the reject call/ text list.
If you don't he will continue to come back because he knows you will always respond. It is up to you. I assure you, you deserve so much more than this.

Posted by karialexciaI feel like it would be wrong to leave him. I don't think he will find any other lady to put up with this shit, so it's my responsibility to stay (unless he gives me the boot).

Is it possible to perhaps change him to be nicer?

Posted by whydo_i_tryHe probably doesn't do that shit with other girls--because they don't put up with it.Posted by karialexciaI feel like it would be wrong to leave him.

At this point, as long as it's been going on, this is the extent of your relationship. It won't get any better, and his "requirements" of you will only get more intense over time until you're a shell of your former self. Then when you've thrown out your last shred of self respect, he'll dump you for someone who won't let him get away with that.
I know it sounds harsh and I don't mean to be hurtful, but just sayin'.

Posted by whydo_i_tryThis is a good way to ensure that he never changes.Posted by karialexciaI feel like it would be wrong to leave him. I don't think he will find any other lady to put up with this shit, so it's my responsibility to stay (unless he gives me the boot).

You sticking around allows for zero repercussions... the
very things that effect change in a person.
I don't think you really believe the above, though... not
like that, anyway, out of what-- pity?
Come on.

You can't change people. I know you want him to be nicer, but people change because they want to.
You are not responsible for him. Like you owe him nothing..
You owe it to yourself to be happy and this isn't making you happy. You know this..
Something like this happened to be when I was younger, so I kind of understand why you feel this way and I can tell you, it's not worth it.

I'm going to give the cutting him off/ignoring him a trial run and see if it works out (i.e. To see if he gets the hint and moves on). Not sure what I'll do if he keeps trying to reach me. Maybe explain why I'm ghosting him & give him a chance to explain and change.

Posted by wickedIt wasn't necessarily a question as much as it was just a journal-ish post anonymously expressing my insecurity & confusion
Your question is why does he keep you around? Because you are deep into this. You have been a nice play toy for him. He knows to manipulate you. You will soon start to hate the woman you have become. No point blaming him. You are not his mommy. Do yourself a biggg favour and walk away from this. The day you succumbed to his charms and left your essay papers away just to indulge his cravings, that was a huge turning point in your life. Now are you strong enough to help yourself to a great life or are you going to learn to be his doormat?The Q is are you are strong enough to do it?
As messed up as it sounds, I sort of think a great life involves servicing a man and reinforcing his masculinity & ego. That's the role I'm starting to think females belong in, or at least I belong in.
Maybe that's why I go along with it: because I don't think any other men my age will treat me like that unless I condition them, and conditioning takes too dang long.

Posted by idkhe's right though. she does like it. if he didn't she wouldn't stay around. look how she is defending it? it's her responsibility, it's her role, no one else will treat her or him this way.Posted by whydo_i_tryhonestly tried?Posted by idkIf I try putting my foot down, he'll just keep asking until I either give in or I disappear.

op, you have sub tenancies. i think what confuses you is that you enjoy this sort of play but yet don't know how to put boundaries on it. i would encourage you to do a bit of reading of this and perhaps when you feel ready, you might want to start reaching out to groups in your area to learn more about your sexuality.
this guy is taking advantage of you. you're a free phone sex line for him and soon to be a free sex show. you won't change him and to be honest, you don't really care that much about him. you would have met him those countless times if you were interested in him beyond the sexual dynamic.

Posted by idkconfused. boundaries are being crossed and she has lost control of it.
well i guess if she can tolerate it. but then why post something like this
Posted by jeaneYou are so right [about the sub tendencies]. And you're right, it's confusing and hurtful because I don't know how to put boundaries on it. Not sure if I'll join a group though; I fear things may get too serious or intense or dangerous. But maybe I will one day, who knows. On the note of meeting him if I was interested beyond the sexual dynamic, I didn't meet him those countless times because I felt like all he wanted was sex while I wanted to take things slow. Not to mention I've felt like he will have high expectations of me in bed given how raunchy our conversations would get.

Thanks for the responses y'all. This has helped me realize and put words to how I feel. I realize that it is a very unhealthy "relationship" that is causing me more sorrow than joy nowadays. Therefore I will finally end things once and for all.

Posted by whydo_i_tryyeah, see how you feel. perhaps look into forums, speak to others and maybe if you get more comfortable you can explore the community. i'm not part of it but know people who are, and you'd never guess by looking at them. they are very normal, ordinary, law abiding citizens who wouldn't hurt a fly (unless you asked them to!). if nothing else the community can help you see the more healthy ways to incorporate this kind of play into your future relationships with boundaries that you set and feel comfortable with.Posted by jeaneYou are so right [about the sub tendencies].

Posted by busyeyes88she is at the stage in her life of learning more about herself, sexuality and turn ons. it may not be your thing but we all have our little kinks. there is nothing wrong with her. she just needs some advice in how to channel that side of her into a way that makes her happy.Posted by whydo_i_tryDumb!

A woman with high self esteem wouldn't have gone so far as phone sex and pussy shots without having first established a clear relationship with a man who respects her. Makes all the difference in the world.

Posted by sultrykittymaybe but i'm not sure on causation. i would like to think that getting handle on her sexuality in a healthy way might improve her self esteem. she's feeling her way. she's going to make mistakes. we all do. a show of hands of us who didn't make mistakes in our early 20's. she chose the wrong guy. she realises it and is moving on. will she make the same mistake again? i hope not but if it does start going that way again, she'll be much more aware of it and that's a good thing.

i've not suggested that she find someone else straight away. i've not suggested that she enters into a sub/dom relationship with someone she doesn't know. i've not suggested that she should join the first underground group she stumbles across on craigslist. there are healthy ways to do this.
if this is for her, and she has said it might be then i encourage her to look into it further in a responsible, arms length kind of way. she should talk to more subs and doms. they are not monsters who will lead her into a life of denigration and self destruction. far from it, if done the right way, they will ensure she is empowered to fully protect herself.
waiting for self esteem to be at a high to explore themselves and their sexuality is probably why so many women are sexually repressed, naive and unsatisfied.

Wow what are you looking for?

My air moon is all over this. Hold on a sec..............
Why are you degrading yourself to guy who clearly isn't interested to you other than phone sex now sex is meaninglessness...

Check out sex phone chats for free if you actually like this thrill..

Posted by jeaneI think we can agree to disagree on this point, but that is your perspective. All it takes is the *right* person to explore this with, and that requires better discernment as to what that is (ie, more self worth). It doesn’t have to define one's sexuality. We are all multifaceted in terms of turn ons, and it does take self confidence to express them appropriately. It doesn't happen the other way around where one's sexuality defines their level of self esteem. If that is the case, then I'll maintain that there are some underlying self image problems that should probably be addressed.Posted by sultrykitty

Posted by BG2the sub does relinquish to the dom but they define the boundaries and they are the ones to make it stop. it also only happens during defined play periods. it doesn't extend beyond that into the wider everyday life. just because you are a sub doesn't mean you are a sub for 24 hours a day.Posted by wickedPeople have different definitions of a dom-sub relationship.
Thought I shld add this
I have a friend who is a sub
She is super confident, bossy in person. U wldnt guess she is a sub
Clear boundaries must be drawn. And there should be respect for each other. Shouldn't Erode our soul away.
I do agree with you. Whatever role one is in, respect and boundaries are a must. Yet some think differently; a sub must relinquish any sense of self to the dom, they don't get a say, they don't have any power...and both actually thrive in that.
Clearly OP isn't one of them or she wouldn't have created the thread.click to expand

Posted by sultrykittynot really my opinion, more based on studies.
I think we can agree to disagree on this point, but that is your perspective. All it takes is the *right* person to explore this with, and that requires better discernment as to what that is (ie, more self worth). It doesn’t have to define one's sexuality. We are all multifaceted in terms of turn ons, and it does take self confidence to express them appropriately. It doesn't happen the other way around where one's sexuality defines their level of self esteem. If that is the case, then I'll maintain that there are some underlying self image problems that should probably be addressed.
here is one
"Galinsky further theorizes that because young women face more barriers to sexual expression as compared to men, the achievement of sexual enjoyment may do more to boost their self-esteem and sense of autonomy.
“Alternatively, these developmental assets may be more important to young women’s sexual pleasure since they help them break down impediments to sexual communication and exploration,” she said."

And that relinquishing is balanced with clear boundaries.
To some, it does extend to everyday life. Not just sex play. These roles become or have always been integral parts of who they are, in everything. Boundaries are dissolved completely (this is a negative example), meaning once the sub surrenders, that's it.
Like I said, some thrive in that, for some reason.click to expand

The difference here is that the OP is not enjoying it. It is hurting her self esteem. And women who do this and feel used after are correct in their assumptions. This is not what is being addressed in the studies.
I think I'm done here.
