tl;dr- Was sick and couldn't finish with LTR. She turned cold on me, shrunk away from my touch. Tried to talk to her, only disgusted her more. She couldn't explain what was wrong. Grew a pair, fucked her, and she loves me again. But she doesn't understand why.

Body: Quick background, have been with current LTR for about a year. I see her one or two weekends a month because of geography. She's pretty ideal by TRP standards; low partner count, submissive, supportive, massive tits + tight ass, and has literally never turned me down for sex. Now she's also pro-feminist, but she actually believes in literal gender equality (i.e. she sees domestic abuse by women against men as a problem). Now with that in mind, we'd had several conversations about weakness, and she'd always chastised me for not wanting to be around her when I'm weak, sick, or injured. Her logic is that if she were sick, we both understand that I'd take care of her, and so if I'm sick, she wants to take care of me. Equality, right? In practice, she's actually followed through and taken care of me on a couple of different occasions when I was sick. So I'd begun to think that hey, maybe she's a bit of an exception to the TRP-standard advice about never showing weakness.

Cut to last night. We'd just ended a week-long vacation together, and I'm laying in bed with her. The past few days I'd been down with a stomach bug, so I'd been extremely gassy and shitting like y'all wouldn't believe. She'd taken care of me when I needed her to, but I could tell she was getting a bit tired of dealing with me. I could also tell she was horny so I initiated, despite a lot of pain in my gastrointestinal tract. Things went well, got her off a couple of times, but the pain built up to a point I couldn't stay up or finish, so I stopped and went to the bathroom. When I got back, she was extremely cold with me and refused all physical contact.

Now bear in mind, this was our last night together for a few weeks, and I was supposed to leave in less than an hour. Being the emotional lil bitch I am deep down, I wanted some cuddles n' shit the night before I left. So it hurt getting rejected like that just because I was sick. I started trying to pick her brain (mistake: this never solves anything) and she basically said she was frustrated "not with you, but with the fact that we can't finish". But I looked at what she said, not what she did, and she was pulling away from me, closing body language, and when I'd initiate kino she almost seemed revolted. I asked her point blank why she was being so cold if she wasn't actually angry with me:

"I don't know, like I can't really explain it... It's just how I feel"

At this point, my TRP knowledge kicked in: You can't negotiate attraction. She's unnattracted to you right now. Why? You're weak, sick, and emotional. Not the stoic, healthy alpha she wants to fuck. Briffault's Law means she doesn't remember the past year of good dick from you, she only sees what's happening in the moment. Thus, the only way forward is to fuck her good.

So I summoned my inner patriarch, channeled that ever-present Anger phase rage, and proceeded to lay the most rough, degrading pipe I could given my current intestinal conditions. I finished with a bang, and predictably, she was back to her sweet, submissive self.

Lessons Learned

Nothing here is particularly new, TRP-wise. But I found it intriguing that this fairly self-aware girl, who has defied TRP's expectations and taken care of me when I'm sick, was disgusted by my inability to fuck her at first. I believe it shows just how built-in women's mating expectations are. On a base, animalistic, biological level, she is disgusted by weakness. No matter how much equality she strives for or how much feminism she consumes, she will always be attracted to strength and revolted by the reverse.

boldAnd she won't even understand why, no matter how self-aware she is.

Other than that, applicable concepts: -LTRs are TRP on hard mode -Briffault's Law: She lives in the moment; She doesn't remember all the good things you've done in the past -You can't negotiate attraction -Watch what she does, not what she says -Never show weakness -Lay good pipe
