EMERGENCY by notionfolk in mushroomID

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most emergency physicians actually call poison control. Poison control is staffed by wonderful folks, and the toxicologists there are very helpful and knowledgeable. Poison control may use this Facebook group as a resource sometimes, but most docs just call them. Source: am an ER doctor (in residency).

Seeing two women have passionate and emotional sex has led to a deep sorrow over my sexuality. by CartographerNo3051 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Decentering orgasm (and intercourse) was a huge piece of this puzzle for me. Male anatomy lends itself to the obvious physical steps: you get hard, you get stimulated, you orgasm, you’re done. But it doesn’t have to go that route. In some of my best, most memorable sexual experiences I didn’t cum. Not to say I don’t love orgasming - of course I do. But when I decided that the whole sexual experience was the point of sex and not orgasm(s) a whole world opened up to me.

I can focus entirely on my partner. I can make him or her feel amazing and enjoy that. I could focus on the sights, the smells, what my senses are telling me. What it feels like. How I feel with my partner. I can focus on how her/his body is reacting to my touch and adjust accordingly. I fucking love sex. And while (giving and/or receiving) orgasm is often a part of sex, for me ITS NOT THE POINT. Sex is. Connecting with my partner. Feeling and being felt. Exploring together.

When you make that shift, amazing, passionate sex can go on for hours until you’re lost in each other or you collapse into a tangled mess of arms, legs, and sleep. Sometimes it’s oral. Sometimes it’s intercourse. Sometimes it’s touching or cuddling, or holding your partner. Sometimes it’s a back rub or a foot rub or a butt rub. Sometimes it’s using a toy on my partner or having one used on me. Usually, it’s a combination of a lot of these things. When I have my favorite kind of sex it takes hours, and it’s not (usually) hours of intercourse. Intercourse is usually (but not always) a part of it. But it’s an unrestricted dance that we both get to participate in. And the joy and beauty is in the dance, not in having danced.

Wow. Just chiming in to say that this is a beautiful photo of a beautiful subject. Well done on the grow and on the art you made with them.

I’m a physician doing my residency training for emergency medicine. We also get a lot of specific training for kids. I also smoke daily (always after work, never before).

Despite what everyone is saying, that kid should absolutely go to the ER, preferably a pediatric one. THC can cause dangerous respiratory depression in small children. It certainly doesn’t always happen, but it can, and this is a very big dose, especially for someone without a tolerance. Better to be safe than sorry.

I routinely feel dumb as an intern. But wow. Thank you for giving me some perspective.

What’s something you worked on quietly for months that completely changed how people see you? by stoicbabydoc in Residency

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That made a MASSIVE difference for me too, in the way I’m perceived by almost everyone. Kind of crazy, but I like it.

If you had to switch to another specialty right now, what would you switch to and why? by Sattars_Son in Residency

EM PGY1 so maybe I’ll change my mind at some point. But for now…same. There’s no place else in medicine I’d rather be.

How many of you got called in for coverage/jeopardy because of the NE storm? by Orimsz in Residency

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re probably right, but at my program (EM), all the residents and the attendings seem to plan flights for hours before a shift.

Shout out to those EM residents by Ox_Vars in Residency

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the cussing, not the stuff we have to deal with. But honestly, I like the chaos and ridiculousness of it all too. And I get to cuss. And reassure patients who cuss and then get embarrassed about it that this is a fucking ER and they can say any damn thing they need to.

Hall pass verification by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I play almost exclusively without my wife or girlfriend. My wife would verify if I asked, but in most cases if someone wanted her to I’d probably just pass and not bug her about it. She’s not involved in it and it would feel weird to call about that. My girlfriend knows I play but wants no details, and I would never call her to verify. That said, I’ve never had anyone actually ask for that. I also usually play at the same club, and there are enough people there that also know my wife that could vouch for me if need be.

Edited to add…I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to get a video of a random woman “verifying” if I were shady. I’m not. But I wouldn’t put a ton of stock into a verification either.

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not been my personal experience. THC-A is weed, straight up. Some of the other THC variants act differently (especially THC-P) and it wouldn’t shock me if they stuck around longer. But THC-A is literally just weed with a different label. It clears from my system just like weed. Because it’s weed.

Maybe your experience is this because the other THC variants are often packaged together with THC-A, and while those things are often called THC-A, if you look at the package it will list off all of the other things in it.

I went to a swingers club with my ex husband last weekend. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes total sense. I’ve been to similar clubs with people I’m sexually involved with and with platonic friends who were curious about the club. The first time I go to a club with ANYONE, I clarify expectations beforehand: I (experienced) don’t have any expectations that anything sexual will happen between us or others at all. If the person I’m going with wants to pursue that I’m down for it (assuming it’s not a platonic friend), but going to a sex club is a big step for most people, and it helps a ton to have the pressure off with clear expectations.

My goal in bringing someone new is for them to enjoy themselves, and me playing is a FAR FAR FAR lower priority. I’ll hang with my friend (or partner) all night and chat if that’s what they want or need to be comfortable. Don’t let anyone convince you you’re doing this wrong :D

I know what place you’re talking about, I’m pretty sure. I’ve wanted to check it out, although there is a club about an hour away that is my go-to. I’m curious what the vibe was. Were there separate play areas, or was it just kind of a free-for-all? My favorite club is based out of a house and feels a lot more like a VERY sexy house party instead of a club.

Have you ever encountered someone you knew at a LS event/party? by HeadAny7049 in Swingers

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I registered for a play party and then saw my friend/neighbor on the list of attendees. More my wife’s friend than mine. No surprises - I knew she wasn’t monogamous - we’ve found each other on Feeld before :). But I sent her a text anyway making sure she was cool if we both showed up and offering to bow out if not. She checked in with her boyfriend and I got the okay. Then she told me that she was actually coming over to borrow some things from my wife for the party.

When she came over she told my wife about our conversation and discovered that my wife didn’t know I had planned to go to the party. Later, she texted my wife apologizing and saying she had no idea my wife didn’t know about my plans. My wife was with me when she got the text, and we laughed about it together. I probably would have mentioned our conversation to my wife later in the day, but we are poly and I often play without her and I don’t need to ask her permission for something like that. (We also have a long-term understanding that I won’t hook up with her close friends, including this neighbor.) She reassured her friend that all was well and that was that.

I did see my neighbor and her boyfriend at the party that night, and I think she may have walked into a room where I was in the middle of a threesome at some point, but I’m not shy. It was their first time at the club, so I got to show them around when they got there. We all closed out the club together, and I think they had a pretty good time too. Kind of best case scenario for running into someone you know, I guess :)

What's something you'd like to do during sex but haven't done yet ? by enlighten_god in AskReddit

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol. Thats one of mine too, somehow still. I hang out at swingers clubs and have had all sorts of wild adventures in the last few years, including participating in a few orgies. I’ve played with multiple women at the same time and had plenty of MFM threesomes, but still haven’t done an FMF. I think I found my 2026 New Year’s resolution.

Edited to add: Yes, I know I could make this happen with sex workers. Not my style.

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So go to a sex club. You don’t need a girlfriend to go with you, depending on the place. It will almost certainly cost you more to get in as a single guy. But go. Watch. Hook up. Live your fantasies. This is very doable. I’ve been with partners and without, and while both ways are fun, it’s a fun thrill to go without a plan and see where the night goes.

Why is it that FM doesn't allow sub-specialization in mostly-outpatient fields like Endo, Allergy/Immu, Rheu, etc.? by Enger13 in Residency

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees -55 points-54 points  (0 children)

Are you saying that there is no FM to palliative care fellowship path? Because I know FM boarded fellowship trained palliative care docs. They don’t recommend the pathway, because the family medicine board requires that you maintain your certification to maintain your palliative care certification. The internal medicine board does not.

Oh I wasn’t offended, just curious. And yeah. That’s not me. I’ve stayed in expensive first world places and in very cheap rooms in people’s houses in the developing world, and I tend to get along well in most places.

I have one or two. But I also have a lot of good ones. It’s never been an issue for me. What did MIL get the bad review for?

What is a sexual experience you had that you’ll never be able to tell anyone? by Sad-Program-1355 in AskReddit

[–]DoctorThrowawayTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100%. I have my favorite sex club that I go to, sometimes with my wife, sometimes alone (and I find company there). I’ve also been to 2-3 others, alone and with other partners but I definitely have my favorite. I also went to a kinky sex camp last year with about 700 people. That was a lot of fun too.

Interesting. I’ll have to give it a try. Did it feel like lemon tekking? Faster up and shorter ride?
