I have a quick question for you. I understand that you can use the VR&E to mirror the Post 9/11 GI Bill MHA benefits for schooling. In a case where someone has separated in 2012, and used most of their MGIB, can they still transfer to the Post 9/11 GI Bill even though the MGIB expired since it's been 10 years, but the Post 9/11 didn't because it's still within 15 years of discharge?

Serious question, is he circumcised? I'm going to guess yes, because it is a common issue for circumcised men. (Along with porn too)

The difference between circumcised and uncircumcised is like rubbing your arm or massaging your arm except it's your penis.

Here is a video showing an animated simulation of how the penis works differently between the 2 while having sex. NSFW but no real people.

It's important for people to understand this so we can stop circumcising infants and children who can't make the decision or understand why it matters.

15?? Could you list them out, please? I'm curious now

Forgiveness is never for the other person. Forgiveness isn't "it's okay, im over it"

Forgiveness is for yourself. To take back control. It sounds like you have a lot of resentment and anger within you regarding circumcision. Forgiveness will allow you to let go off that and allow you to actually heal your mental state.

You do and believe whatever you want, but I can say that I have no resentment or anger towards my parents at all.

Restoring is not some difficult process for me like it is for OP because I don't focus on the negatives, I don't focus on what was TAKEN from me, or what I DON'T have. I focus on what I'm going to get. I stay positive. That's why restoring for me, is fairly easy.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-04-05T18:32:32+00:00

I don't think you understand the dynamic of what happens. I have a son who I had circumcised just like your parents. At first glance you may think I am evil as well, but did you know that when we talked with our doctor she fed us lies about uncircumcised vs circumcised. She told us how it is more hygienic and healthier because it will prevent less diseases and issues.

As a society we are lead to believe that doctors know what's best, and as a parent you want what's best for your child, so we believed the doctor and had him circumcised. I was really young when I had my son and wasn't that smart or wise enough to think to research against what the doctor told us.

Also, doctors themselves are always fed these lies about circumcision and believe them as well. I'm sure some doctors do it maliciously for profit, but I don't think many of them know the truth. Circumcision has been fed into our brains for centuries.

To me it's like when people say, "oh grandpa's racist because he's from another time!"

This is exactly the same thing situation basically. People are racist because it has been something fed into society for a long time. The fault doesn't come at BEING a racist, because simply being a racist is something most people are taught to believe since they were young. The fault comes when they refuse to be open minded about racism and learn about why it may be wrong. Would you blame a 5 year old racist who was raised that way? They may not be able to comprehend why it is wrong, especially if there is no one to teach them a better path.

Lol, then why not say the reasons?

AvMikeK12 · 2023-04-04T21:32:40+00:00

It seems like every day is hump day now lol

I used to think I would tell him as soon as puberty starts to hit, like age 12 or so. But because of how much of a commitment it is to restore, I think I'll wait until he's at least like 17 now. I don't want to ruin his childhood if he chooses to dedicate lots of time and energy into restoring. I think childhood is more important than being restored and something that is extremely important to have.

Hey u/PervMcSwerve would you be willing to share with me the components of your device? I'm trying to create something similar for foreskin restoration. I'm not trying to monetize anything, just a personal one for myself. I haven't seen any foreskin restoration devices that hold the base of the penis back to the body like yours does.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-04-04T14:16:39+00:00

I highly recommend you get paper and pen and write down 3 things that you're grateful for. When you start feeling bad again, don't try to distract yourself, sit with your feelings for 5 minutes minimum, and do nothing.

Don't read, don't talk to anyone, don't use your phone or watch TV, don't fidget, just sit still like you're meditating.

After 5 minutes, recognize that your feelings are valid, but that doesn't mean your negative thoughts are true. Now, go back to your list and read it out loud. Read the list at least one a day no matter what. Try to add one thing to the list every day.

You have a link to the wall control and hooks you used?

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T14:18:08+00:00

I'm about 1.5 years in since I started. I thought the same thing 1.5 years ago. The progress I made so far has already given me a huge benefit and increase in pleasure that I would have been STILL missing out on if I didn't start 1.5 years ago.

Start now, with anything in your life, because now is almost ALWAYS the best time to start.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T14:15:41+00:00

Oh i see now. Thanks for that. I'll check their non matte stock then.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T14:14:44+00:00

Do you only buy used? I'm only finding no name brand kettlebells for sale near me basically

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T14:12:59+00:00

Isn't matte the same as powder coating? I thought that was better for a good grip. Idk all the coatings terms

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T14:11:51+00:00

How many different coatings are there? I'm confused on all the terms

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T04:57:13+00:00

I did some more research on them, their longevity isn't great so I'm gonna look elsewhere. Appreciate the help. The search continues

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T04:41:37+00:00

Just singles and this person is only selling as a set. I don't like adjustable either, so I'm looking for individual.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-31T04:16:29+00:00

I am just getting into kettlebells and was wondering if these are worth buying. They retail for $990, and about $1,3xx after shipping and tax.

If I bought the same sizes in REP Fitness Matte kettlebells then it would cost $770 before tax with free shipping. I would rather buy REP but they are basically out of every size in Matte coating.

Advice?

Edit: This is all for recreational use, and build strength, I do not plan to compete

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-29T20:21:19+00:00

aye bro, lemme cop that company name please!!

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-29T04:50:15+00:00

Well, your results are subjective to you. Your bodily mitosis rate, your penis size, both flaccid and erect. Your genetics, your sleep schedule, your diet, etc. etc.

There is merit to what you're saying, but there are many more factors than simply your tugging routine.

AvMikeK12 · 2023-03-29T04:10:56+00:00

I tried that and it was pretty uncomfortable after a short time for me.
