What are we … ?

October 07 2025

Long time reader, but this is my first forum post in many years, so please be gentle lol. I saw this on my social media recently and it got me thinking about the connections we make on RHP. We are all seeking different things on here, but ultimately we are all seeking pleasure (in whatever form brings us that). ‘What are we? We are fleeting moments of desire. A shared indulgence, a touch of lust, a spark of passion. We seek each other out, satisfy a craving, then retreat back into our separate lives. Until the next time desire ignites, until it consumes us once more. So, what are we? We are what we choose to be. In that moment, in that place, in the shadows of that room, away from the world's scrutiny, we are something unique. We are stolen moments of happiness. We are 'almost something,' a fleeting glimpse of what could be … but might also never be.’ I’d love to hear your thoughts on the different connections you have made, or would like to make. Some may be fleeting, but there might also be the possibility of finding something extraordinary. Well at least I hope so !

    Ultimately, we are who we choose to be, but without clear boundaries, it’s easy to start becoming who someone else wants us to be. I’ve had many types of connections on RHP ranging from only chatting, ONS’s, meet with no play, couples, exploring my bi side, ongoing FWB’s (when I’ve been lucky), forming genuine friendships, to party play. For me, connection is about alignment. I’ve been at the stage where the rush and dopamine hits took over, chasing that next high and letting my body lead the way as an escape from everyday life. These days, I’m more drawn to deeper connections that still include the fun, but without the numbers game or the need for constant validation. That phase started to feel a bit empty for me. Alignment, for me, looks like this: • Both wanting more than a one-off • Genuine availability • Ability to host (as I can’t) • Open, consistent communication (essential for anything ongoing) • Mutual respect for the lives we each have outside this • Reasonable distance (connection has to be practical too) • And, of course, physical attraction I’ve truely enjoyed my RHP experience for the most. It’s not all roses for sure. But it’s been a hell of a ride and I’ve learnt so much about myself and met some incredible and not so incredible people along the way.

    Is a fleeting glimpse of what could be enough? What could be might not be right for us. Transience may be the right thing for us at this time but not at others. I find myself fleeting through pure, carnal driven desire to hunt and at other times just enjoying the conversation and the existential connection. The type of need fluctuates based on what life’s attitude towards me is. I enjoy that I can be flexible enough not to be one thing and one thing only. Understanding where I am and why I am in the present is joyful. It’s also comforting to be at odds with what others may determine I should be. To embrace conflict is to take control. Is your missive driven by such changes in need / want / circumstance and thus a want to reconcile that?

    Not getting married and not having kids is my MO. Fun people, honest connections and respectful bonking is my thing. When I first joined i was really looking to make friends as I think thats my kinda vibe. I know lots are just and thats it...for me its a bit deeper.

    We are always evolving 💖 What we seek and enjoy shifts over time for based on lived experience and understanding ourselves better, and embracing that change is the most rewarding part for me.
