relationships
This is the first piece of a multi-part conversation with Colorado trans* identified folks on trans sexuality – one that be similar, or very different, from other LGBTQ folks – and on what dating and relationships may look like for trans* people. In this issue we’ll be looking at the idea of trans* sexuality, and what it looks like for each of those interviewed.
Dear Brent,
I met a guy online and we hit it off. The sex is OK, but what makes this relationship different and special to me is how much we have in common and enjoy each other’s
Dear Shanna,
If someone gets their nipples pierced, does that enhance the sensation in them, or does it make them feel numb? Does it change if the barbells are vertical or horizontal?

– Confused in Centennia
Cliché’s are often met with skepticism, seen as pointless just because they’re overused. But some contain truth – motivating support to keep us challenged and improving our lives.
My partner of 10 years has been gaining weight and it’s getting harder to stay sexually interested in him. I keep slipping these hints that I’m going to start working out or eating healthier, suggesting he could support me by doing it too. So far it’s not working – he just says ‘that’s great’ and stuffs another slice of pizza in his mouth.
I’ve been with my girlfriend for a few years now. I love her a lot, and everything is great … except for I’m getting really sick of having to strap it on. I mean, I like some hot harness action as much as anyone else, but it seems as though that is all she likes. She says it’s not “real” sex unless there is penetration. Am I stuck with this, or is there hope in diversifying our sex life?
For some people, admitting to an interest in kink can parallel coming out a gay, transgender, or HIV-positive. All can trigger aspects of personal shame, fear and embarrassment, or may cause people to reject you for something you’re working to embrace about yourself.
Whether these people are searching for a quick sex fling or a partnership of a more long-term nature, dating sites have become popular in the queer community for a variety of reasons.
