Wakinyan Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Okay now that I have your attention. Awhile back I asked about how do you find some love or sexual release for someone with my rather different physique on here. Jager was nice enough to point me to some interesting (Yet disturbing) sites online. I haven't taken advantage of that yet and I am looking for some answers on those of you who have been a Nova longer. ,,Strength, it is a problem at times. Even more so when I am not in total control. Sex I am sure would qualify into loss of control.Size, Uh.. Well for those of you who do not fit into the 'normal' human profile how is that... dealt with. Constant Weaponry, Kinda related to strength issue. Claws , teeth, laser eyes.. How do you keep those from being an issue?I am a bit embarassed about the subject but I would really like to know how all of you deal or don't deal with it. Mainly because I am starting to freak out about it since it is yet another one of those animal issues that is getting to me and to be honest I don't want someone dead because I needed to get off.

Singularity Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 To be honest, it is not easy having a physical relationship with a baselines or even some novas when you are extremely strong. Part of your mind needs to focus on being gentle and careful. It is difficult at first and can be frustrating, but it is not a problem once you are accustomed to it.Or if your relationship is fortuitous enough to involve someone capable of handling your strength and abilities then the issues are no longer issues. Again, patience and control are the key elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackStar Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Another form to solve your problem and I´m sure this subject got discussed in other thread, was to learn to dorm down. I know it could be difficult but it would be a big advantage for you when your instincts got boiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugin Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Again and again we are being told to bury what we are in order to fit in to a mold we have outgrown.Dorming down is a small death and nothing more.Totem, learn how to deal with what you are. Find a partner that fits your needs, both emotional and physical. Learn sexual position where your claws do not come into play. Don't submerge the magnificence that is you beneath a puny veil.

BlackStar Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 You are entitled to your opinion, Prodigy, but for me dorming down is to relax the stress of being a nova. With all the problems of this state halved or nullified thanks to this skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 A question, BlackStar.Before you erupted, would you often crawl to alleviate the stress of walking? Would you eat pureed food through a straw to avoid the strain of chewing?I thought not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Your correlations are not accurate, ronin. The man has a problem, and dorming down is a skill any nova can learn. It provides options to him, to use as he sees fit. It isn't degrading, anymore than learning to read, or drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakinyan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Well the issue that comes up is I have been trying now for three months to learn how to shutdown my node but it just doesn't seem to work. Whether I want it or not I guess I need to learn just to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Metaphors are always a blunt tool for making a point, Preston. As much for me as they are for you. My thought on the matter is that dorm'ing down shouldn't be a matter of stress relief or a coping mechanism. It's a matter of occassional necessity and a useful tool if you have access to it, but it's the sort of thing one should do reluctantly, not as vacation from the responsibility of dealing with your abilities.

Nightfall Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Totem, perhaps you should imagine powers going inside, like a glow being dimmed? I taught myself to dorm like that, and I am fine now.Being something of an expert on sex, I would advise speaking to a shapeshifter if you cannot dorm. I'm sure you are a nice gryphon, but I wouldn't care to try and screw you. If you can't find someone, find a lady who's tough, and go dog-style.

Wakinyan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 I am thinking maybe someone who could dampen powers could help me learn to control the thermostat of my Node. I just dont have the money to hire a tutor though. Thanks for the suggestion Irini. You are most likely right, I don't want to be slapped with a lawsuit and medical bills because someone thought it would be fun. I don't know how many people would think getting it one with three quarters of a ton of fur, claws and feathers would be a blast but who knows maybe I am a natural casaNOVA.. (Sorry couldn't help that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfall Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Go to the Pandaimonium of the Terats. Plenty of folk there who would like you, I think. If not them, then they would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juri, have you ever seen blood on your hands?Heard wounded cry out in pain, and fear?Have you ever been in a place where you stopping someone from killing people would lead to more harm than good?Would that make you feel comfortable? Would you ever relax,if you could always see this happening inside your mind,just as vided as when it was happening?Would you dorm down if that was the only way to make the memories fade?We live interesting live Juri,and I hope you never have to wash blood from your hands.I hope you can lead a life of peace and fame.Get your money glory and be happy.I can say this, stop acting like your the judge of who should be a nova and who shouldn't.You are not the only self made nova here,and frankly you know shit about the world of novas.Keep acting this way,you may get a guest who doesn't care how much you "know",and only cares about shutting you up.If and when that day comes,I would like to think you would have not alienated any and all novas who would help you.Just look at what happened over seas.

BlackStar Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 All I´m trying to do is to help Totem with his problem. BTW I can try to teach you without money involved. Even if I think of myself as an elite I´m not a mercenary. At least with a friend. And even if we don´t know personally each other, I think about you as a friend, Totem.Oh, and for the critics, that´s my life not yours. I´m not going to enter a flame war with any of you, and that´s final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the ability to sleep very comforting, despite the fact that it is no longer necessary, and just as potentially dangerous as the ability to dorm.

Hugin Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Actually Alchemist, I do sleep. Every night. Not as much as I used to, but I still do. That I still need this is an example of how I am still limited and to me, is something I need to overcome. I fail to see how it is a facet of my existence I should try to retain.

Wakinyan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks for the offer Juri. I am sort of hung up on someone at a moment. Although I have to admit that doesn't make a monogomaous relationship I need to at least see what it does mean. How about for humility sake Prodigy? It seems many Novas are forgetting that aspect these days. Personally I don't care either way in all of this talk about crippling oneself. I would just like to be able to walk through a normal door. Though I have been around enough Terats of late to know they would ask. "Why do you want to pass through a door that is not for you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Monster C Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I wish I could offer some suggestion Totem, but I'm at a loss. I've been celibate since I erupted. I'd never gotten married and the current form isn't much of a babe magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how to dorm, but I certainly don't get relaxation out of being slow, stupid, and blind.But that aside, Totem, I can see why living with your body form could have its problems. Understand that it's pretty rare for a nova to teach himself how to dorm in that short a time. You'd do way better finding a tutor - Utopia would be the obvious choice, but I don't know how you're getting on with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Totem, don't let him get inside your head.Dorming should be something you want to do, not something you feel you need to do. It's a tool, nothing more.Personally, I've never dormed. Never felt the need, nor the desire to "escape the stresses of being a nova". I'm a nova. I should live with that fact.

Johnny Magnum Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I would just settle on having sex ever. I never did get to my prom and my girlfriend moved on before I got back from the Rashoud center last month. I've been getting a bunch of strange offers but I actually want a relationship.I'm the hottest thing to ever hit Lincoln and I'm still a virgin.

Stigmata Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Totem, I'm sure you can find someone who can stand up to your strength and claws, that's the only thing you can do. You shouldn't have to restrain yourself, kinda takes the fun out of it.Dorming down to have sex? What would be the point of that? You'd hardly feel anything the way you're meant to. But I probably shouldn't be giving advice here, it's been far to long since I've had any myself. It just always seems the novas attracted to me are undeniably insane.

Wakinyan Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well here is to hope then. My biggest issue is I have a tendancy to get possesive about my female friends. While I think I have worked through it. I know it cannot be good for a relationship if I snarl and bristle everytime a female near me talks to any male but me.For some reason Stig I figured you to be the darling of Nova social circles. With the work you do and your unique look it just seemed a given that you could date whoever you liked. This coming from a Nova who has never even been to the Amp room though.

Matryoshka Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Dorming and relaxing?I can tell you this if you ever been in my head when it is on full tilt you would wonder how relate to others. I notice how many hairs everyone has,their blood pressure,how the air reacts to their breathing,what they will look like in 50 years...Oh that is just a short list of some of the things that I notice passively.I walk down a street,and I could tell you what makes, models,plates numbers,number of people,roughly how soon will the car need to checked up on,I notice how many leaves are on the trees,what everyone says,what numbers people dial on their phones,the type of fiber their pants are,and who is wearing underwear,and who isn't.Again this just by being.By the way,I could tell you all those details from a walk I had 8 years ago.

BlackStar Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Then Signy, you would understand very well what I said. I have the same problem, and yes, sometimes, I need to dorm in order to don´t be overwhelmed by the sensory input. Yes, it´s very useful for my work, but at times it´s too much to bear.

Wakinyan Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 It isn't my pure physical strength that is the issue. It is the mind that drives it. It doesn't want to be careful all the time and resists it. Not saying I want to kill who I would mate with but it wants something that I fear might harm whoever I am intimate with. But to be honest I have never let that monster out of it's box to see what it would wind up doing. Hell, maybe it could be gentle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. 'Machine' Mann Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 How goes your situation Totem? Comments you've made elsewhere lead me to believe this is still somewhat of an issue.

Wakinyan Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Well so far my options have been. 1. Rape.2. Chemical suppression. (With my body, doubtful)3. Surgical castration. (Hell no! Even if it does grow back!)4. Abstinence.5. Fleeting possibility. I'm not really fond of where this is heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
