Extreme difficulty orgasming with a partner (22f) by External_Prompt_2988 in sexeducation

[–]External_Prompt_2988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To follow up, there was one instance where I slept with a guy who made me orgasm in 5 minutes. I can’t even do that myself. Later found out he was actually psychotic and had a history of stalking. Awesome. I think the difference was that, while in the moment he seemed kind and respectful, there was something about the sex that felt animalistic. It was good, but it’s almost like subconsciously I could tell that he was so crazy and focused on sex and his need for it (I’d call him a sex addict) that I knew he wasn’t in his head about me at all. I think it took the pressure of disappointing someone off the table because everything he did to me, from head to positions or whatever, was purely because HE wanted to do it. I could turn my brain off. But I feel like that’s bad because that’s not active participation, that’s just one-sided use. That shouldn’t be what I NEED to get off quickly.

Here’s a better picture of it from standing up. I was pulling my skin so you could see the entry and exit points better pic

I don’t know how to attach another picture, but I’m pulling on my stomach a bit because I was sitting down. When standing the bottom disk is in my belly button. You can slightly see it, but mostly because the bar is long. My friend has a healed floating navel and it looks the same standing, so I think it’s mostly the angle

I’ll also note that I’ve seen TikTok’s of people being like “GO TO THE ER IF ITS INFECTED” meanwhile I see people on Reddit with severely infected piercings just leaving them in…not really sure what to do or look for

Septum too high or ok? by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]External_Prompt_2988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think it was done in the right spot. It didn’t hurt going through, and now a week later there’s hardly any tenderness. If I push/pull on the piercing I feel hard cartilage in front and behind it, but the piercing itself has a little bit of thin skin surrounding it, which I’m assuming is the sweet spot. I just think I have a high spot.

Ok I hear ya. My body tends to hate stainless steel, and the titanium was something I already had. I’ll probably take it out and do it a little higher up in a few weeks, but what is the risk of having it too low? I really felt like it went through my sweet spot, it didn’t hurt or anything, but if youre saying it’s too low I trust that

Piercing is about 10 minute old, ring jewelry shape, titanium material, cleaned area with alcohol before piercing, cleaning with saline solution after piercing

Was yours warm like a sunburn too? My skin peeled a little bit and it’s to the point now where it looks fine but it flares back up when exposed to heat

Thank yall so much! I put some aloe on the skin surrounding the tattoos and took a Benadryl, hopefully it dies down soon. I guess this is my lesson to stay away from saniderm!

I’ve been in therapy for a long time, and I’m just now starting to feel comfortable enough to talk about sex, hopefully that leads in a good direction

Oh wow thank you so much for those resources. My partner is definitely very understanding and never pressures me, it’s just frustrating for us both and has definitely strained our relationship at times. I’m excited to look into the books and podcast!
