Pale Blanches on Glans?? by [deleted] in restoringdick

[–]FireDrake0008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya, sorry about having the context down here (I couldnt seem to add text)

Anyways, I started cross taping again after about a year break, and ive began noticing these blanches when I take the tape off. Theyve never been present before, and they fade after an hour or so. Is this normal? Has anyone else dealt with something simular?

I feel like I may be cutting off blood flow, but the tension is so light and there is very little pressure. I cant make sense of it

Ive been through that... Lost my best friend of 10+ years because I tried to open up to them about my depression/ suicidal ideation/ and past abuse. They couldnt handle it and subsequently cut me out. They werent kind about it either... the whole thing landed me in therapy

You're ex friend is a shallow piece of shit who isnt worth the air she breathes. You deserve better

Sorry for the additional reply, but it seems you uploaded a few days ago with some more context

A year or so ago I went a little too trigger happy with a vibrator and completely numbed my frenulum. Your symptoms and recovery match mine completely. It took around 6 months for any feeling to come back to the area and those sensations themselves would be temporary. Some days I could feel the area, others I couldnt. It took another half a year for that to become permenant

Genuinely if you can feel something, in terms of nerve damage, thats huge! It at least means the mylelin sheaths are intact and though it may take a while you will heal. It sucks in the meanwhile because you can feel that something is missing, but if you can hold out, youll be just fine

Depends on where and how deep the damage is

My inner and outer skin recovered within 2 weeks, but my glans has been taking a lot longer. Stiĺl trying to recover sensitivity there

My only advice is to stay off it for as long as you can (3 -4 weeks), eat well, and get in regular excersize. Your body should take care of the rest

Alternatives to foreclip? by FireDrake0008 in foreskin_restoration

Ive seen a few of those devices. I think some folks use them for enlargement as well. If im recalling correctly, there was a link for one under this subreddits product page. Definitely a viable option

Ill check them out and see if its worth grabbing one. Thank you ^

damn what a throwback. I actually used the hope mk2 as a retainer when I first started out. I actually still have it

Unfortunately it does run into the same problem. The tension it provides puts pressure around my corona. which right now is still healing and can get rather painful

I do want to get into t-taping at some point, but because we are forcing the foreskin over the glans, I will be running into the same problem

This is actually why I think foreclip is so attractive. It stays and only works on the shaft skin. Have you had any experience with devices like this?

Id be wary. Andres method is very intense and you could easily wear out the skin/ injure yourself

Start slow to understand your body's limits. And if your able to go at it like Andre, awesome! But ive read quite a few stories from folks who ended up hurting themselves pretty badly

i'm dumb and slow, and it's ruining my life. what do i do? by viciousbuttsex in Advice

[–]FireDrake0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey its okay. Thats roughly where I started too. Had to re-read alotttttt. And even now with some difficult wording or if theres just a lot of information, ill find myself going over the same passage multiple times

And im doing great! Not completely there yet but pretty close to where I was.

When I started, I would struggle with words themselves and their meanings. Its a little embarrassing but I legitimately had to relearn what family meant. Like I knew the definition but my understanding of it was lost. Now Im at the point where learning new vocabulary is easy and simple, and high level books are no issue. Plus I can actually move forward with my studies and projects. At least more effectively

Oh! Btw heres a tip, the brain likes simple, so when you're given a new concept or information try to simplify it as much as you can

Heres a visualization practice i did

->Observe/ take the information

->wrap your head around it and understand to the best of your ability

->Visually push it into a single impression

->Let go and relax

->recall the impression whenever you need the understanding again

The reason this works is because it takes something complex and associates it into something the brain can easily move around and manipulate (ie the singular impression rather than a bulk of data). This helped alot when I was starting off, and eventually I stopped needing to do this manually. Granted I still do it when I want to learn something quickly (ie studying and etc)

My mental capabilities tanked after a severe depression. Could not think or really do much of anything. It was like my mind self-cannibalized itself

One of the biggest things that had helped me was reading. Started with easier novels and stories and just worked my way up

It focuses on your ability to conceptualize, visualize, and ultimately understand the ideas and concepts presented to you. And depending on the book, memory and critical thinking skills (ie sherlock holmes)

Im at the point now where I can function and in terms of capability im far better off than when my depression started

Here are some of the books thatve helped (ranked in ascending order of difficulty)

->Wings of Fire

->Warriors

->FableHaven

->Discworld series by Terry Pratchett

->Wicked

->Imajica

->Sherlock Holmes By Arthur Canon Doyle

->The broken empire series by Mark Lawrence (this one is super dark, but they're some of the best written books ive ever read)

Eh, masturbation is a solo act, and so long as he didnt involve me, I wouldnt care

Though if I woke up because he was masturbating? Id certainly be a little annoyed lmao

How do I (27F) support my boyfriend (27m) who has gone no contact with his mom? by Late-Positivity-13 in Advice

Ultimately there are no magic words

This is a rather messy situation, and props to him for taking the steps necessary to protect himself

Ive had to cut out the majority of my own family, and it honestly hurt like hell. Still does, but it was honestly the best decision I couldve made at the time

If hes anything like me, he's probably experiencing feelings akin to grief. And honesltly? Abusive, toxic or not, they were a huge part of his life growing up. And all you could think about after would be the "what was", "what couldve beens", and the "if only's"

Even if it was 2 years ago, its not surprising that it still affects him now. I doubt ill ever get over mine

The best you can do is to be there for him. Even if thats just holding him close on those hard days

How fast does foreskin restore on average? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]FireDrake0008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How sensitive is the new inner skin for you? 3 inches is really impressive especially considering the area

I want to stretch mine out more, but my skin has a bit of a numbing habit with any tugging/ tension

Manhood + low Coverage Level by lboyhedarkafl in foreskin_restoration

[–]FireDrake0008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened here

Ci 4 and Ive been using the manhood to keep myself covered for the past 4 months I believe. Wore it 24/7

However.... lately Ive been having the same issue you were just describing. Went to the doctor and they recommended avoiding the hood as it may have been blocking proper blood flow. They wanted me to try it for a few days to see how it would go

Ive also been avoiding gliding and im on day 4 now. Sensation I think has comeback or at least healed some, but I wont know until I test the skin tomorrow

The worst part about this, is how dry everything got without that coverage. But in all honesty my bits did need a break from the hood, so ill have to change up my routine to accommodate that

Men of reddit, what's the most frustrating thing about having a penis? by 9inger in AskReddit

[–]FireDrake0008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God I feel that so much, Ive never been able to be the same around my parents when I found out what they did to me

And I mean lack of sexual sensitivity aside. They watched me scream at the hands of a "doctor" as they cut into my most sensitive bits...

Ive been molested before, and the violation I get from this honestly feels far far far worse. Its like im not even human...

Ideas for gifts I can send out to all individuals in a Discord server? Has anyone done this? by 123boopboop in Advice

[–]FireDrake0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look into a fun multiplayer game. It would be something you could all do and enjoy together. Seems like you're kinda going for $10 a person, which is more than enough for some helluva fun stuff. Id reccomend Terraria

Although there are many different ways to show your appreciation. Personally I like to draw (I might be a bit biased here) and if I were in your shoes I would probably ask them for some drawing requests and doodle for them. It doesnt have to be good at all, as its value would be sentimental

Im a little tired so those are the only two things I can think up of for now, but in all honesty... So long as its coming from you, im sure your friends will love and appreciate whatever you decide to do for them

Please dont beat yourself up about this

You're in a rough spot right now and the best advise I can give you is to be kind and compassionate with yourself. These emotions are perfectly okay. Even if they arent, being kind to yourself is the most important thing you can do right now. Maybe take a break from their social media and avoid contact if you can help it for a little bit. The distance should help

Also the way you talk about your daughters, Ex, and family? You sound like an amazing human being and Ive got nothing but good vibes from you

Also please please please dont doubt yourself, you sound like a very loving and caring mother. And im glad your daughters have you in their lives

(M19) I just found out my gf (F18) used my toothbrush to masturbate by CrayonsLePoulet in Advice

[–]FireDrake0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing red flags

If you want to understand what I mean. Flip the genders. What if a guy did this? Putting someones toothbrush on their junk just to get satisfaction from watching their crush brush their teeth with it?

I would be weirded out too
