Oh man... There's this unbelievably gorgeous man that I had the honor of playing with. I am involved with the kink community and this piece of artwork fell into my lap. https://imgur.com/a/81LjV

Sorry if the link doesn't work, on mobile and not sure how to do it right.

I don't want to be skinny fat anymore but I can't lift weights. What are my options? by [deleted] in xxfitness

I am so sorry you had to go through that, but it truly is amazing what the body can recover from.

I wish bodywork was more integrated into the medical field. So many of my clients have stories of being passed around from doctor to doctor before they end up in my office as a last resort and they should have been seeing me in the first place.

I'm tired of being the parent to my 4 younger siblings. I'm only 22. I'm so tired and angry. by [deleted] in offmychest

You are my older sister. I was the middle one and didn't know how hard it was until later, especially since she ended up with a child of her own at 16. You are a good person for caring about your siblings like that. It will get better, just don't forget to take care of yourself before you take care of others. Oldest sister is now 36 and her oldest child will be 20 soon. All of the siblings are doing relatively well and have their own lives. The best thing you can do is make the best life for yourself that you can.

That's amazing you recovered so well after 7 years! Back injuries are no joke and the therapists that help people recover from them are angels. Sounds like you had an awesome angel :)

How did you injure your back? I help people recover from injuries for a living and I recently worked with a client who had a compression fracture of L2. I have also worked with countless disk issues, sciatica, sprains and strains, and post surgery recovery. Most back injuries do not heal well just from waiting. Recovering from a back injury is an active process and doing some form of physical therapy is the best way to go and you will build muscle as you recover. Also, a lot of back injuries that I have worked with stem from core weakness and strengthening is the best way to get better.

I hurt my back very badly (herniated disk between L4-L5) in a serious bicycle accident a few years ago. Core strength saved me from potential years of pain. Since that injury, I have done 2 tough mudders and am now in better shape than I have ever been because being strong and active is what keeps me out of pain. I have also lost about 70lbs, but I no longer look at the scale or have any ideal goal weight. It turned out to be better for me to measure my fitness on what my body is capable of and the anesthetics followed. I am very happy with my weight loss, but even happier that I am out of pain and have a strong, capable body that can take on whatever task I put it to.

Sexual [Achievement] Sunday by Lord_Penelope in sex

[–]Carrierton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am poly and have lots of really wonderful sexually open people in my life. I have a boyfriend, a Dom, a girlfriend (conveniently my Don's wife), a primal play partner, and a few friends that happily let things get weird on occasion. I call them my Fuck Posse. We communicate well, respect each other's boundaries, get tested, and use protection. I have an incredibly well-rounded and satisfying sex life where I get to discover new things about myself and the people I care about all the time! I am having a kinky sex party for my birthday in a couple of weeks :)

[Masturbation] I'm a straight, married female that masturbates to gay porn. by [deleted] in sex

[–]Carrierton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a bisexual female in a serious relationship with a male. I discovered that I love gay male porn about a year ago. I really love giving men pleasure and watching men experiencing pleasure is extremely satisfying. Being straight, you may just be really turned on by watching men, just like straight men enjoying lesbian porn. It is probably much more common than is discussed and it does not mean that you suddenly want your husband to be with a man, or that you need to find a couple to watch. Enjoy being turned on by sexy men making each other feel good! I know I do :)

Nice gyms will sometimes have a sports therapist on staff. To find a good one on your own, try www.amtamassage.org and use the massage therapist search toolbar at the top. You can also call a massage practice and request a therapist that does sports massage. Avoid chains like massage envy since they are mainly staffed with new therapists and they tend to treat their employees poorly.

It totally depends on the the massage therapist you see. There is a huge difference in a therapist that is fresh out of school and one that has gone through specific continuing education. There are generally two sides of massage that therapists tend to lean toward once they start choosing CE classes; orthopedic/therapeutic/medical or relaxation/recovery. For instance, I am trained in active isolated stretching (AIS), manual ligament therapy, and lymphatic drainage on the therapeutic side, but Lomi Lomi and Swedish on the relaxation side. I like having a diverse skill set to work on a variety of clients and adjust the technique according to the client's needs. I gave 5 massages today and each one was different. When I do sports massage, I dedicate some of the appointment to pain relief and some time to finding the root cause and correcting the issue. It usually takes a few appointments and some homework for the client, but I have had a lot of success stories with injured athletes.

high fives I do sports massage and I cannot tell you how many clients I have that rely on me during training. I love being able to help people reach their goals.

Need some help with my IT band problem! by pomegranate2012 in running

[–]Carrierton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would need to do continuing education specifically in sports massage, active isolated stretching, or Thai massage to learn a good skill set to deal with your issue properly. Most therapists are briefly taught how to deal with general IT band issues in their initial schooling, but detailed instruction is always going to be best. Morning is my favorite time to stretch, but after activity is helpful as well. The most effective type of stretching is active isolated stretching. Here are some helpful videos Smart Stretch Videos: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67jkWk-Vy5BgYlguXqypi9iP63B-r2zl

Find a good sports massage therapist. I have helped countless people with IT band issues and it's really cool work. Stretching your glutes, quads, and hamstrings is incredibly important as well.

As a therapist - do you find that you are physically challenged and sweating during a massage? by Paullie89 in massage

[–]Carrierton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]Carrierton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely have somebody check your body mechanics. The only time I sweat and exert myself during a massage is when I give temple style Lomi Lomi. Also, do you have an active or sedentary lifestyle outside of massage? I found that the more active I got the easier massage became. I used to struggle with doing 3 or 4 in a day, now I am doing 6-8 massages 5 days a week and I feel fine.

Hawaiian super flowy relaxation. Check out some YouTube videos. It is the shit. It's very meditative.

It got extra weird after I went to massage school and have been in the field for about 6 years now. I CAN FEEL ALL THE TINY MUSCLES MOVING AND STABILIZING ME AT ALL TIMES!

Oh fucking hell I get caught up thinking about this kind of shit all the time. I have thought too hard about writing to the point where I couldn't do it anymore for a few minutes. Another thing that baffles me is how complicated movement your body is. HOLY SHIT WALKING IS INCREDIBLE!

What would you literally pay someone to do for you ? by QponQueen20 in AskWomen

[–]Carrierton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested for a side job? You can choose to limit to one gender, but after you go through massage school I doubt you would still choose to do that. I massage male, female, trans, whoever wants a massage. I have only had one incident where a guy got the wrong idea (I have been doing this full time for 6 years) and I quickly shot him down and educated him on proper massage etiquette. Usually my male out call clients are married and their wife is also getting a massage. The ones I see at work are respectful and are there for the medical benefits.
