        No, that's a paranormal social relationship, not a normal parasocial relationship. Common mistake.

      Today I had the best vaginal orgasm of my life. I don’t have them every time but this one was really powerful.

      He was teleworking and I got to his house at around 10:30 this morning. When he was able to leave his computer, he kneeled under the desk and started licking me through my red lace panties and then he pulled them aside to lick me softly. I felt like I would cum right there but I pulled him onto the floor and bent over for him to enter me from behind, then we worked our way up the stairs to the bed.

      For the first ten minutes or so of fucking, it feels absolutely wonderful. But the real, euphoric pleasure kicks in after that and I am transported to a place where my entire body is flooded with pleasure and every thrust sends waves of ecstasy from my clit up my belly to my chest and back and down my legs. I can even feel my hands and feet tingling. I become unaware of my surroundings and just float on those waves. I am aware only of him and the incredible sensations shooting between us.

      He usually stops fucking me to make me cum with his tongue at some point. It takes about 3-7 minutes of slow circles around my clit or fast, vibrator-like licking to bring me to an earthshaking orgasm. He stops for a moment to lick my labia softly and then I wiggle my clit back to his tongue when I begin to feel another powerful orgasm coming on. This one usually comes in 30-60 seconds.

      When I am still trembling and my muscles have all gone slack, he enters me again and I scream with pleasure because the feeling of his hardness pushing into my still throbbing c*nt causes the waves of orgasm to continue. My pussy is so engorged at this point that every touch feels like a mini orgasm. It flows like a river, leaving wet spots on the bed. We kiss while he fucks me and I lick my own wetness off his slippery chin.

      Today he must have fucked me for another fifteen minutes before I began to feel the mini orgasms which lead to the big one. Sometimes he feels me about to cum and has to slow down so that he won’t cum too soon and then my orgasm stops temporarily, only to come back up again, and I wait for that decisive set of thrusts which send me over the edge into a crashing, aching, exquisite earthquake of pleasure. The aftershocks come and I ride them into another orgasm… Then we continue for as long as we possibly can because we never want it to end.

      Today I wanted him to fuck my ass but we ran out of time so we will have to wait until next time for that. Afterward I was floating on a happy cloud all the way home, even in traffic. Nothing seems to bother me after he fucks me like that and everything makes me smile. My pussy still tingles and aches for him for hours afterward but I love the feeling of anticipation because I know it won’t be long before I am fucking Stalin again.

    I think it’s kind of the same thing we saw with Kobe Bryant.

    RBG was instrumental in a lot of legal wins for women’s rights and also was a very prominent, powerful woman in a male-dominated profession.

    But there’s also a lot of shitty things about her that the people who lionize her don’t want to hear.

      It's not quite the same thing as Kobe, because the mountains of people lionizing Kobe at least generally understand the broad strokes of his career and accomplishments. I guarantee you that the majority of the people stanning RBG right now have basically no understanding of her jurisprudence beyond that it has some nonspecific connection to women's rights. People generally aren't drawing a balance sheet on things she's actually done, as much as viewing her in the context of the web of associations that is Dem Party partisanship.

        It's really the same thing you see with Kamala and Hillary. It's the extreme conclusion to the idea that these members of government represent you. It's that they don't just represent you, they are you. So libs develop this strong imprint on these people. They don't care about what the person has done because that has nothing to do with why they're so liked.

        I mean... Yeah. I think that's exactly what it is. Performative wokeness for the tribe.

        It has gotten ever more ridiculous over the last couple decades. As others push the boundaries outwards for clout and online pts, it shifts out further and further. It looks weirder and weirder to any outsiders not part of the culture whereas those inside and taking part in it struggle to even notice there's a problem.

    Shes been propgandaised to the point of saint hood since trump came into office. Before that no one cared. Some where even up set that she did not retire mid term obama as she was already old af and had cancer.

    My guess it's too save her legacy. So she doesn't go down as a selfish ass that stayed till she died, instead of seeing the proper time to exit.

    People may have mixed up "I don't want this person to die because of how it would affect politics" and "I don't want this person to die because I care about them," because the anxiety can feel same.
