    Okay, so what's the point of being here, really...?

    Married to my best friend. Dad. Two kids. Moving to a new state (US) and starting over in a career. I'm kind of feeling that this is my midlife crisis. What do I get to do here? What do I want to do? What can I do? I'm not really sure. I know there are expectations of a hegemonic structure that I need to be "the man" and make everything work for my family. And I want to do that. My wife has been carrying the load for a long time.

    But our current situation has caused us stress. We're tired. We've been multitasking for too long. The United States is shit at making sure parents don't just burn the hell out.

    But I'm 40. We're moving. Life is changing.

    We've done chastity on and off (mostly off) for 12 years... wow. I liked it then. It took me a couple of years to tell her. Maybe we always had intimacy issues. I want to do more. She wants to support me. And I want to support her. I feel like chastity makes me feel a particular way, and keeps me humble.

    Anyway, do I want to write terrible adult stories where guys are trapped on an island in chastity for a femdom cabal and generate electricity by doing a whole plunging exercise machine thing onto dildos? Yes. Will the island capture their sperm for some reason? Sure. Is it going to be poorly written? I don't know. This is my midlife crisis. It's either this or buy a car I can't afford and leave my family/best friend to do something way, way dumber than shitty self indulgent storymaking. Maybe I'll get the chatGPT involved.

    It would be just my luck that my midlife crisis is taken over by the computer.

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to try and keep this blog up as I can. I'm going to try and be more on than off because I think it's important.

    What an honest and real post. You are where most of us have been at one point in our life. There are many pathways all leading in different directions. The path you choose will define you for the rest of your life but don’t sweat it. If you a good person and you with the right partner it will be fine. Write your stories it sound interesting to me.
