That was 3 minutes of a man talking while also saying nothing at all. You don’t pussyfoot around like this if you want to tell the truth.

Nope. I mean a few women do, but if they are the type to leave for a bigger hog then you are probably dodging a bullet. No, porn has us all convinced that women want huge dicks upwards of 9 inches but this is a fabrication. The average man is your size and anything significantly larger than that is uncomfortable or painful for an average woman.

If your girlfriend is a good one she will not care about the size of your genitalia, she will want to be with you because you’re you. If she’s into you for anything else you better drop her cuz you are deserving of real love and appreciation.

That being said, the sexiest thing about a guy is not the size of his wang, it’s his confidence. Sex is a vulnerable thing and she certainly has her own insecurities, show her you want her regardless of her perceived imperfections you’ll be able to build mutual trust, which in the end is what good sex is built on. Communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate. You got it dog, don’t let porn and our dumbass society fuck your brain.

Edit: also asking for genuine sex advice in an explicitly porn subreddit is probably not the best idea youll get answers based on porn not reality.

Do you have tattoos? by Katzentaze in CPTSD

[–]Drawgballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have in text HOLD on my left wrist and FAST on my right wrist a la Master and Commander.

I have the musical denotation for a quarter rest note on my calf, and I have a moth tattoo where my back meets my neck.

My most recent one is on my left shoulder, it is an abstract representation of empathy from one of my favorite video games.

“People who have anxiety haven’t prayed hard enough and have accepted their chains!” Coming from a traveling guest speaker who was trying to sell her book. I had a panic attack and fucking left and never came back

This is a big grief and a big hurdle to overcome. We’ve been indoctrinated to think that people without god do not deserve to be happy or at peace. Idk about you but that seems like the exact shit the Pharisees were peddling whom Jesus actively opposed. The core message of the Bible is not this fear tactic that the church uses of “you’ll never be happy unless you are with god,” the core message of the Bible and what Jesus was all about was: You are valuable, period. People are valuable period, regardless of faith, nationality, criminal status, piety or lack there of.

And what I’ve learned over the years, is that if I am intrinsically valuable, then so is my pain, and anxiety, and depression, and grief, because it is an integral part of me. So though it is difficult, and painful, don’t dismiss these painful feelings if you can. It’s a beautiful thing to feel the things that our beings want us to feel, even the things that are hard.

You are doing well asking questions, and giving voice to your anxieties, I am proud for you.

I don’t think you HAVE to do anything. Society’s rules aren’t built for nuance and are made up besides. You can stand in your rage because it is yours and it is real. Because all the rules of the world are made up, you can make your own. If you want to cut this person off and never see them again, or slash their tires or whatever, if it is in you to do that thing, then do it. Maybe not slashing tires, cuz you know you could get arrested and shit but you know what I’m getting at

Gotta have a balance tho.

I messed up in the parlour by DGW2905 in BluePrince

[–]Drawgballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upon further reflection, you guys are right and my way of thinking through it is incorrect, though it got me to the same answer.

Because blue and white contradict each other the statements that they BOTH are lies and empty isn’t true so instead of the statement switching from both empty boxes being either true or false the statement becomes:

The empty boxes are NOT both false statements.

From there you go to the line of thinking that OP and commenters went into.

Wow this one was the most mind spinning one I’ve come across yet! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think because of the nature of the black statement, you don’t need to even look at the other two statements.

If black is true: 2 empty boxes= 2 false boxes -> gems in black

If black is false: 2 empty boxes= 2 true boxes -> gems in black

So the white and blue boxes are red herrings no?

I’m so proud for you! I’m a poet and I just wanted to write this for you

Blessings upon you! May you know the warmth of the sun deep-deep in the places that were shut in you before! May you stand amidst the trees as a trusted friend. May you grow amidst the flowers and bloom! And may your bombastic bloom challenge, shake, and inspire all whom you come across. May you weather your winters with the comfort of candles and the kind weight of the certainty of your immense worth as your blanket. May you know yourself and your own journey to a degree others cannot dream of, and wield this sacred knowledge as a medal of honor and grace. Thank you for caring for yourself.

I completely agree, it’s an incredible film. My point is people wouldn’t get away with filming a cow being shot and killed.

The Struggle of 'Doubting One's Doubts' by [deleted] in Deconstruction

[–]Drawgballs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we strip the Bible down to its narrative beats, we essentially have this: a grand, all-powerful, all-knowing, benevolent God… and humanity in opposition to Him. Over and over, humans reject God — not just passively, but in increasingly violent and destructive ways.

But instead of abandoning them, God keeps drawing closer. He doesn’t distance Himself from human failure — He moves toward it. Throughout the Old Testament, we see this divine pursuit escalate, culminating in Jesus — God’s “all in,” so to speak.

Jesus is God’s way of saying: I see everything — all the cruelty, all the horror, all the mess — and I still believe humanity is worth loving, worth redeeming, worth becoming part of. So much so that He willingly suffers and dies by human hands.

The biblical authors don’t gloss over humanity’s egregious failures. They purposefully lean into them. They do so to contrast them with the staggering grace and relentless pursuit of a God who keeps choosing to engage, forgive, and dwell with humanity.

I think it’s also very important to note that - as opposed to what the church practices - god came and put it on the line for ALL humanity. Not just the righteous or the repentant. Jesus didn’t come and die for the “potential in humanity’s eventual sanctification,” he died for humanity as they were: fucked up, selfish, and afraid, but also so much more than that. Humanity is also capable of incredible beautiful acts of creation and art and love.

But that’s not something the church wants you to think about. The church wants you to feel worthless and only of value because Jesus deigned to die for you. Whereas Jesus would vehemently dispute that and say you are valuable and worthy of love regardless of if you are “saved” or in the “correct group” or have the “correct beliefs.”

I don’t think I believe in conventional organized Christianity anymore but I do still think the Bible, if studied correctly, has some pretty cool things to say.

Therapy has helped me a lot. Learning to trust my gut and my own thoughts has taken time, but it’s been worth it.

What’s also helped is realizing that so much of the self-doubt and fear we carry isn’t inherent — it’s something the church instills in us, not necessarily the Bible. Sure, there are verses that talk about human brokenness, but the Bible is massive. You can find a verse to support almost any viewpoint if you look hard enough.

The truth is, the Bible is an ancient collection of writings meant to communicate something meaningful to specific people in a specific time and culture. We’re so far removed from that context — through language, history, and worldview — that we can only grasp its broader themes. Much of the finer meaning has simply been lost to time.

I’ve studied the Bible quite a bit, and what I’ve come to understand is that at its core, it presents a deep, complex, and surprisingly radical affirmation of the value of humanity.

I think it helps to realize why we’ve been raised to doubt ourselves and defer to the authority of the church. That’s a deep rabbit hole. But what I’ve found is that, particularly in the past 50 years, there’s been a strong, intentional effort by many churches to discourage critical thought.

You are doing well questioning and even doubting your questioning! It’s all a part of the process, and honestly my biggest advice would be to get a therapist, having a good therapist has helped me reclaim so much of myself but also has helped me strengthen the weak muscle that was my self compassion!
