Hey all, actually made an account after lurking for a while.
Gender: female
Orientation: queer, both as a political stance and because explaining that I am both bisexual and asexual (with the deeply inconvenient exception of dacryphilia) turns into a vocabulary lesson and that's tiring.
Myself crying: I'm not a fan, because I'm too invested in the emotion. I'm unlikely to post pics or vids because I think I wouldn't be able to cry and record at the same time.
Other people: I enjoy both guys and girls crying, but in different ways. Girls crying is a very physical kind of enjoyment - I like watching the way their faces change and bodies move, but I'm less invested in the emotional situation. For guys it's more of an emotional thing as well as physical - like others have mentioned, the stoic thing is super cool. I'm generally more attracted by people who cry rarely, and I really value the process of trust building that precedes them trusting me with their subsequent sadness. I'm generally more involved in the emotional situation when I see someone cry in real life, but I do replay the memory afterwards, specifically the sound and/or feeling of holding them.
I am currently in a (long distance) relationship with a man who does not know that I'm into this - I didn't work out that it had a name until recently myself. Fantastically, he gets really horny right after he's been crying, so it works out well... when we are in the same region, of course. I don't see myself likely to tell him, but I feel weird posting my obs of him without saying something. I'd love advice there.
That's all, hello again!
