Do you believe in reverse psychology?

[Anonymous]

I tried it once acted like I don't care about forming a family ever and pretended to agree with anti-commitment stances that usual favors males but not us. A male acquaintance asked why not, if I was ok, how it's not natural for a young girl to waste her years then asked ''do your realize you're going against what your own benefit, your own gain, why''?

A couple times when I wasn't actively looking for something, I would keep bumping into it. However if I'm looking for something so badly, I never find it. Do you believe in reserve psychology?

I get it doesn't always work but sometimes it strangely does. You can have what you want by suggesting the opposite... when in reality you wanted the opposite of what you said.

I'm hoping it works on my boyfriend. He says he doesn't want to go without using a rubber and I want to. I hoping by insisting that we always wear one he will eventually fold and want to not use one. But I know that's likely not going to happen so I don't think it really works.

Well that's more pleasure. But he has to take your wants and needs into the conversation too. Even tho all men will agree and a lot of women no rubber feels so much better

Yeah we've had the conversation. Several actually and it's led nowhere. So I'm hoping by being adamant about wearing one he will eventually fold and not want to wear one.

Don't think so

It mostly works on yourself. Doesn’t really work on other people like that because it comes off as manipulation if intentions are uncovered.
