I divorced in 2015 and have not been in a romantic relationship since. I wouldn't do that to another woman. Dealing with the registry is baggage a person just does not need. I still receive attention from women but I will not allow a relationship to start. Albert Kinsey was a psychologist in the 1940s and spoke of the importance of sexual relationships and the diversities. As a younger man sex had a negative role in my life. Infidelity and failed marriages. Major depression, post-traumatic stress, alcoholism and prescription drug abuse lead to poor impulse control. There's a difference between excuses and explanations. I wish I would've received the mental health treatment back then that I have now. I'm sure because of my antidepressants my libido has been diminished. I can still sexually function but consider myself A sexual. Life is so much easier but I will admit I miss the intimacy. I just feel it's better for everyone that I am alone.

We are glad that you have finally found mental health treatment.

@brownincel6018 definitely don't be in a hurry to get into a relationship. Now that I am older iam finding that sex is highly overrated. It was in the top 5 when I was younger. Gave me a feeling of acceptance. Because of my conviction and especially the ankle monitor I feel it's best if iam alone. Sometimes I wish I'd have had this attitude 45 years ago. I was married to a good woman but infidelity was an issue. The only consolation is I have 4 great kids with 4 different mothers. Only one has anything to do with me. It took me awhile to understand the difference between intimacy and sex. One of the most intimate experiences I ever had was watching my daughter come into the world. My knees buckled and the delivery room was spinning. Now because of me that relationship is lost. They can punish me as much as they want but that was the worst punishment I have experienced. Iam no longer suicidal but I have long since been ready to go.

Virginia is tough but to notify your damn neighbors!! Move to another state if financially possible. The registry is a beyond anything I ever witnessed.

[@masonweiss]

There is a “3 year old on the registry “? Where is that? A 3 year old can not be tried or convicted of a crime in the United States.

[@dejesteel262]

I didn't know that neighbors have to be advised regarding registry. In Michigan nothing like this is required. Get out of the state which requires those horrible rules. Technology allows us to live and work where we please. Good luck !

[@NARSOL]

States have so many different rules that it is difficult for registrants to keep up with them. Moving to another state is already difficult but because of the requirements for each state, a registrant might move from having to spend 10 years on the registry to lifetime. It is another example of how these laws are not rational.

Sorry, calling BS on this whole channel. All of these SO’s are apparently innocent n most gloss over their convictions n none I’ve seen talk of the trauma their victims will carry for the rest of their lives. This channel needs to be on a watchlist. This lady saying a 3 year old was placed on a registry 😂😂
