Matthew Chavez said:So, is there any way to actually coordinate with him regarding his availability?
Kevin Nguyen3 said:Exactly.
It’d be straight-up discrimination, and honestly, totally baseless at that.
There are plenty of people out there who have finished college, passed their driving tests, and even tied the knot.
They don't have any issues—but yeah, therapy definitely plays a huge part in that.
So... I mean, obviously.😁
Kate Harris50 said:From what I’ve gathered, this entire line of reasoning stems from the specific definition that "marriage is a union between a man and a woman." Someone eventually realized that the wording should actually be "marriage is a union between a man and a woman who are not related," and that's when the back-and-forth regarding incest began—for instance, arguing that a brother and sister could technically fit the criteria of "that man and woman" provided by the definition.
EDIT: To put it another way, by defining marriage strictly as "a union between a man and a woman," all alternative forms of marriage are effectively barred, yet a massive loophole remains in the legal framework: what happens if that man and woman happen to be blood relatives?
graniteridge6 said:But look, some people find same-sex couples just as unsettling.
That shouldn't be their reason for opposing it, though. For instance, I find it incredibly strange when two people with a forty-year age gap decide to tie the knot—but am I standing there protesting it? Of course not.
From what I can gather, the point isn't even that they're using it as a counter-argument; rather, the author was trying to test the consistency of their own logic. To me, his posts make perfect sense, even if we happen to be on "opposite" sides of the fence.
I really can't stand people who lack the capacity to wrap their heads around something that falls outside their own narrow perception—regardless of which "side" they claim to be on.
graniteridge6 said:But honestly, that is a perfectly valid question to ask. I truly understand where people are coming from. To be perfectly clear—I will be voting against it, and I absolutely support same-sex marriage.
However, looking at it from another angle—and I say this knowing full well that these matters don't impact my life or anyone else's specifically—these are consenting adults. I believe they should have the right to choose who they marry and, by extension, enjoy the legal rights that come with it. This leads me to what I consider a justifiable line of inquiry: if we accept this, then how should one view incestuous marriages where childbearing isn't possible, or perhaps polyamorous relationships? I am not suggesting we equate them, mind you, but rather that such arrangements meet all the same criteria that lead me to support same-sex marriage in the first place.
@Sophia Thomas7—Nut is certainly a unique forum when it comes to discussing sexuality, and I think it's wonderful how you manage it, but I do feel that other forums ought to allow for a bit more freedom of discussion—even if that means the moderators have to step in and get a little more involved occasionally.
graniteridge6 said:I have to admit—this whole debate has actually given me plenty to chew on. 😁
First off, I don't see where the thread starter is equating incest with homosexuality; they were merely drawing a parallel.
Secondly—and this is a big one—I honestly cannot wrap my head around a single valid reason to prohibit a potential marriage between blood relatives who are incapable of having children. At least, as of today, I haven't been able to conjure one up. 😁
Besides, even non-relatives who are aware of a hereditary condition still have the option of using donor-assisted reproduction through IVF (and, mind you, their marriages aren't banned either), so by that very logic, blood relatives should technically have that same path available to them.
Now, obviously, this isn't exactly the kind of topic for the FBI, but I fail to see why it shouldn't be allowed here. 🤔
graniteridge6 said:This whole discussion is actually quite fascinating—though I have to wonder, why on earth is it being hosted over at the FBI? 😁
graniteowl20 said:I’m not sure if anyone else has brought this up yet, but I think it’s worth mentioning how progesterone actually acts as a precursor to cortisol. When we’re dealing with high stress levels, our bodies start pumping out extra adrenaline and cortisol, which basically just "devours" our progesterone supply. It creates this sort of endless, frustrating loop.
As for PCOS and birth control, speaking from my own experience, I honestly feel like hormonal contraceptives can be some of the worst stuff out there. If there's any kind of alternative that actually works, I really think people should look into it. Managing stress helps a ton, of course, but man, it’s so much easier said than done in this day and age...
There are just so many different factors at play here, and everything is so incredibly interconnected. Maybe the most frustrating part of all is when you go to your doctor and they can’t even give you a straight answer. Their favorite way to brush things off is usually just saying, "Oh, it's just genetics," implying there isn't much else that can be done about it.
Melissa Sanchez8 said:Headaches can definitely be a side effect of those hormone pills you're taking. Especially since they seemed to show up so suddenly.
If your OBGYN refuses to look at your blood work, you should probably find a new doctor.
mellowlynx68 said:Can we please just lock these kinds of threads the second they go up?
Or just merge them with the old ones so we don't even have to deal with the titles.
And for you guys who just smash that "like" button on this Reddit—maybe try actually using the internet once in a while? Use a search bar to see if there's already an active thread about this (there've been a few this year alone) and realize most of us aren't feeling it.
If you hate it, just head over to those toddler forums where everyone has massive, neon avatars and signatures that take up half the screen.

It's probably better to post this in the women's health section; I assume people there have more experience with this kind of thing.😉
Kevin Nguyen3 said:I’m not entirely sure how much you’ve looked into this, but please, do yourself a favor and Google everything there is to know about amenorrhea. It’s vital.
PCOS... ah, is there anything else on your list?😢
Generally speaking, this tends to be quite a complex psychological issue.
Roughly put—you simply don't want to be a woman.😍
In truth, it’s often suppressed anger toward one's mother, stemming from a deep-seated fear of losing that sense of protection.
From a purely medical standpoint—well, you likely already know all the facts.
As for alternatives—hmm... perhaps light therapy, a clean diet, and, most importantly, managing your body weight.
The core of the problem also involves the flow of emotions.
Are you currently taking any medications for PCOS?
I’m basically just a walking, talking bundle of medical issues. 😬As far as the female stuff goes, I’m mostly just dealing with cysts and this super thin endometrium. I think my OBGYN mentioned last time that it’s sitting at about 0.8 inches, but it really needs to be closer to 2.5 inches or more before my period actually kicks in. The weird thing is, every single time I go in for an exam, it stays exactly the same—stuck right around that 0.8 to 1.2-inch mark.
Weight... my gynecologist used to cling to that like a drunk on a street corner. She was always blaming my missed periods on me being too thin back in middle school—I was barely 100 pounds at 5'4" since I stopped growing early and just stayed that way. But here's the kicker: the periods didn't come back even after I gained weight. Now I’m sitting at around 120 pounds and I honestly hate every single extra ounce. 😬.
Anyway, I’m not—and never have been—into guys. It feels kind of stupid even typing that out. 🙈Alright, look, I’ve got a womanly body—curves and all that jazz. It's not like I was some scrawny dude growing up.
I'm on the pill right now—it’s pretty much the only thing my OBGYN prescribes. Other doctors I've seen, like my specialists, suggested I should probably get some specific tests done, but since they don't write the referrals for that stuff, I'll just have to pay out of pocket.
Elizabeth Price2 said:You can actually have gay incest too🤷
Actually, you can't—because it's strictly illegal and totally taboo in our society. Just like how non-incestuous gay relationships were viewed until a certain point in history. See the connection now?
Tyler Thomas6 said:But if you go by this specific list, then
Whether it’s a bad thing or a good thing depends on how you look at it, but the truth is just that not everyone has access to every single topic or all the important data on the forum... unless, of course, everything is laid out clearly right in front of them.
