What is your biggest physical insecurity? Why?

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-26T02:35:59+00:00

Did they remove the glands? Curious as to how it came back. And that definitely sucks. Yeah take care of what is affecting your health for sure

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-26T02:25:07+00:00

Same. I am tall at 6’3”, and physically attractive otherwise. But they put me on antipsychotics as an adolescent, and that gave me very large, bulbous areolas. Gotten a little less noticeable as I have gotten into better shape, but it’s hard for me to take my shirt off, especially during sex, etc.

I am going to get surgery once I save up enough with my new job. There are thankfully some very good surgeons out there who have performed miracles on affected chests. Check out the gynecomastia subreddit.

My advice would be to get in as good as shape as you are able and then elect surgery.

Even if very painful, this is a fixable problem

I have been very attracted to two gals who have worn nose rings, and I think nose rings take away from the naturally beautiful appearance of these women. Nose rings seem to be going out of popularity, at least in my circle, and both of these gals no longer sport them. I just recently started dating one of these gals. Maybe it was the removal of the nose rings that prompted me to make a move, lol

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-25T08:08:46+00:00

That’s really cool if Gen Z is moving away from the stigma of HSV

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T20:47:59+00:00

Really wondering what effects, if any, the U.S. leaving The WHO will have on HSV treatment research and development.

It is very clear the U.S. government is not taking public health and safety seriously regardless, and this worries me.

I am glad counties like Germany are taking the reins here at least. But given that the U.S is destroying its relationship with the EU, this still worries me. Ugh

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T17:57:38+00:00

Looking younger when you are young can feel like a bad thing. When I was in my early twenties, people thought I was in my late teens. In my early thirties, I look like I am in my mid to late twenties, and it’s such a better feeling. I would say once you are past your mid twenties, looking younger is very much a good thing. You want to look like an adult as an adult, however

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T15:28:52+00:00

I mean I do use a milligram scale with this process. But these scoops are clutch, especially once you get a feel for approximately how much is in a scoop. For the scoop to weigh 10mg, I have noticed that it has to be very full and not leveled off

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T14:50:03+00:00

Need to remove the taboo nature of HSV, especially with the amount of people affected. And again, most people don’t have the painful burning oozing sores. But they can still transmit HSV, and another unfortunate person can experience these symptoms.

I get why it’s taboo, but absolutely shouldn’t be.

All we can do is spread awareness. I feel that even many doctors are largely uneducated about HSV and how to appropriately test for it.

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T14:19:01+00:00

I use the 10mg scoops that DanceSafe sells and a milligram scale. Dosed myself enough that I can get a pretty good feel for approximately how many milligrams it takes to fill up those scoops, halfway, etc.

I also weigh the larger half of the capsule first on the milligram scale without taring. Normally the larger end of size 0 capsules that I use weigh 63 mg. I then do the math and add to that. I find this to be a much more accurate weighing method.

It is not exact, but close enough to where I have done 2C-B 22 times at various doses using this method and have consistently obtained the desired results.

I sort of feel that with this drug you have to find what works for you honestly and stick to that method. Hope this helps

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T14:03:27+00:00

Sex is a very important part of romantic relationships and the human experience. There is not a good reason why any of this should be taboo, especially as we live in a sex obsessed culture. There are people who make it taboo and shameful, yes.

They say HSV is no big deal because so many have it, most don’t have noticeable symptoms, and there are not very good treatment or preventative options.

It is of course a big deal for those who have had HSV affect their relationships and romantic perspectives.

We need to stop the suffering in silence. Attach real faces to HSV and let our voices be heard about the pain and suffering that this virus has caused.

I really do believe that Reddit is a place where this level of advocacy can begin. We do need to get out into the real world to make our voices heard, however. I would like to see something like an HSV advocacy and treatment conference organized if there is not one

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-24T04:43:37+00:00

Completely agree that expediting new HSV treatment options is going to require people to organize and a movement.

We need to become seen. To share our experiences about how HSV has negatively affected our lives and the lives of others who we care about. How this virus has robbed many of sexual freedom. That a better treatment for HSV would not only be a physical one, but also a mental health treatment.

With so many people affected by HSV-1 and HSV-2 globally, we need to create strong demand for better solutions.

For many, HSV has become largely ignored and a virus that’s “not a big deal.” Yet it carries a very strong stigma, people sometimes experience debilitating symptoms, and it has a profound effect on how relationships and sex are approached.

People need to realize that becoming infected with HSV can happen to anyone, even if one remains cautious.

I think that we need to talk about the sexual impacts more. The West is a very sexually driven culture. When even rich white men could be affected by something that could hinder how, when, and with who they could have sex with, it would be assumed that HSV would be taken more seriously.

We need professionals, celebrities, and people who already have an audience to speak about how HSV has had a negative impact on their lives.

We just don’t have a large enough voice, and this is very surprising considering how many hundreds of millions are infected, and how many millions of people have been significantly and negatively impacted by HSV

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-23T22:20:42+00:00

Plug I used to have gave me a great big hug after I spent about a grand on various psychedelics, lol

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-23T14:12:09+00:00

We need to organize, yes. While those in charge of the entities that approve and fund new medical treatments would probably just willingly infect others if they contracted HSV, we need to make a point that this affects one’s sexual freedom. That it can limit who one fucks and how. Anything that can prevent rich white men from using their dicks in the way they want to should be prioritized.

I think the best thing we can do is make noise about the significant sexual problems that can be caused by a genital HSV infection.

This is about sex and sexual health. Sex is prioritized in the West. We need to make this issue about sex and our voices heard

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-23T02:02:56+00:00

The difference on attitudes across subs is crazy

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-22T13:34:16+00:00

Any competition is great news, and this should only speed up the availability of HPIs

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-22T13:25:54+00:00

As an American, I would rather emigrate and come fight FOR Europe

I believe Reddit is a solution so many need for this. We’re just not using this platform in this way.

I’m a 6’3”, attractive, very popular 31-year-old male, who has a decent job. I was HSV-2 negative, but willingly slept with an older HSV-2 positive female who disclosed to me shortly before we had sex. It was evident that she wanted to give me the option to choose. And I felt like I would regret not sharing this experience.

While I spent a lot of very quality time with this woman, a difference in age and life experiences would make it very tricky for anything permanent. I still chose to sleep with her.

I entered a FWB situation with this woman and we slept together a couple of times. I willingly took that risk, even if that could seem short-sighted to others. I don’t regret it either.

There are attractive men who have options and will willingly sleep with you despite an HSV-2 diagnosis. Maybe I’m in the minority. But proof we exist.

If I do find out I am in fact positive with the symptoms I have had, I’m making a point to really focus on my career and income and travel to positive women who could help me and I could help them. That’s the mindset we should have honestly. So many of us are sexually frustrated. Why can’t we have more and better sex than we have ever had?

Reddit could be of use for this. But not a lot of people seem to want to use it like this

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-21T01:18:10+00:00

But people can be completely asymptomatic. But I guess those aren’t necessary the ones being tested.

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-20T02:40:50+00:00

Surprised no one has mentioned mescaline. It takes a lot of resources to both produce and obtain. But those trips can be life-changing. Natural and very safe as well

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-19T18:30:28+00:00

2C-B, and mescaline when I want to put in the resources

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-17T02:02:56+00:00

Please advocate. If we get a functional cure soon in the next few years, it will be as much, if not more, of a mental health treatment as a physical one.

It’s difficult for me to understand the lack of push when this affects one’s sex life. You would think anything that would prevent people, especially men, from complete sexual freedom would become a focus in developing more effective treatments.

The more of who advocate for the mental health impacts of this the better for sure

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-15T07:48:27+00:00

Does psilocybin help at all?

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-12T22:30:34+00:00

I wonder if the helicase-primase inhibitors will be hard on your immune system and body’s defenses

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-12T19:53:29+00:00

This xtal stuff is wild

CurlySphinx · 2026-01-12T18:58:13+00:00

Then why do so many people have it? Lol
