Regrets or remorse

Looking back in my sex life I have more regrets than remorse. However this is said better than the contrary, my experience is different:

Starting by more recent situation is my stay in hospital having both one harm and one leg immobilised so I needed help for morning washing. Although the same caregiver used to care for me and had insistant washing me down there I could not just say: “this feel good” or “please keep on”. Further more I felt she was waiting for it. This kind of situation did take place so often in my life. Therefore I agree that any relation needs words, I should be too shy, at least in words because I was able to enter into heavy sexual experiences as group sex in back rooms. Any views on how to handle sex relation differently ?

My biggest regret is not engaging in more gay sex when I could instead of trying to stay straight. I wanted to suck cock, did it, but still wanted to present to the world a straight guy. If the internet had been around when i was a teen, never know might have gone on.

My only regret was staying married because I did not want to “fail”. The reality is I failed myself by not allowing myself to be me. Now I’m being me and finding acceptance and friendship for who I am. Not being the str8 guy society said I should be.

My regret is sites like zity were not around years ago where we would have known where to go and meet people. Instead of it being, at that time years ago, underground.

You are not the only one.

Saying that I have more regrets about missed opportunities would about sum up my sex life, or at least how it often seems to me.

At some point one could consider forgiveness as you likely did what you could at the time. Perhaps now you might try new experiences but without blaming yourself for missed chances?

No regrets or remorse. Some things could have turned out differently, others couldn’t have been better. Focus on the “better“ things, not the negative.

And yet one of the most heard comments about being old is along the lines of: ah, if only I had known then, what I know now.

If that isn't a pretty clear way of saying that one has remorse for opportunities missed and mistakes made, then I don't know what is. We're not all Edith Piaf you know … moi, je regrette beaucoup … ha ha.

Reminds me of Bob Segars song “Against the Wind”.

“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then”. 😊

No remorse really but some regret over choices made. I think a different path - staying single, being more open when younger, etc. - might have suited me better.

“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then”

So what is that? - an paradoxical oxymoronic juxtaposition? 😄
