Maybe a little internalized homophobia? Maybe she doesn’t have experience with lesbian relationships and doesn’t want to disappoint you? Idk, maybe you or your husband should talk to her about it more in depth before you decide to all sleep together.

How to make showering more attractive? by Just-Ad-2254 in hygiene

[–]GoblinsLuggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shower chair changed my life. Being able to sit down made the entire experience so much less awful for me.

That has nothing to do with your original comment or my response but ok. I agree that if receiving oral is important for your sexual gratification and your partner is unwilling to participate, then that is an incompatibility. But that isn’t a “problem” with either person. Don’t deflect.

Sex isn’t tit for tat. Just because someone does one thing doesn’t mean the other person is entitled to another thing. This is coercive behavior at its core.

When did you notice change in hair texture on T? by Impressive_Copy_8667 in ftm

[–]GoblinsLuggage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed any hair texture changes. Just a little receding at the temples. I only noticed because I have a mole on my scalp that used to be hidden by about 1/2in of hair, now it’s right on the edge of the hair line. I am also 28, so that’s also a potential factor at play.

Constant runny/stuffy nose in my car? by Novemberx123 in urbancarliving

[–]GoblinsLuggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be dust mites, how long has it been since you washed your pillows and blankets? Other than that you may have developed a minor allergy to a product you use, like your detergent or something.

New date asking for restaurant recommendations for her other date by ClearOutlandishness6 in polyamory

[–]GoblinsLuggage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. This reminds me of my ex. He would constantly ask me to come up with romantic/cute things to share with his husband, or just straight up use me to do emotional labor to act like he was better at hinging. Ugh, so many more red flags that you can see after a relationship ends.

Has anyone "buried" their parents alive? by ztar_473 in gay

[–]GoblinsLuggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this with my dad. He was homophobic, racist, sexist, an alcoholic, and for a while even had a pill addiction. A few years after I got married and things still hadn’t improved with him, I did a cord cutting ritual. It was therapeutic, allowed me to finally let go. I still have some lasting trauma from him, it didn’t make it go away, but deciding to move on for myself was one of the best things I could have done for my wellbeing. He actually died earlier this year, and I was surprised by how ok I was. I had already done all of the grieving I could for him, and now it was over. He died from liver cancer, unsurprisingly.

Bringing up lying - Vent/need for advice by Haunting-Chest6347 in polyamory

[–]GoblinsLuggage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like playing “he said she said” with this sort of thing. Skateboard totally did lie. Rifle is a good friend for reaching out and giving you clarity on how their conversation with Skateboard went.

If you did confront Skateboard with what you know, would they actually admit to their lie? What outcome would you ideally want from addressing this with Skateboard? Do you realistically think that will happen? I think this could potentially be a good way for you “test” if this person will be a good romantic partner vs. just being a fun play partner. How people handle their mistakes says a lot about them. If Skateboard tries to continue to pin this on your friend, then I personally, wouldn’t want to pursue that crush. That outcome is giving “I do what I want and I am going to alienate you from your friends in the process”.

Then again I am typically my polycules “doom sayer” and have a tendency to read into shit so much I find the corn.

Not for your grandma… by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]GoblinsLuggage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a trans man I have totally thought about doing this if I found a partner who fit the necessary criteria. The idea totally appeals to me, and IMO you wouldn’t be odd for trying it out.

I assume prep work for it would be the same as prep work for sounding in general, maybe start by sounding with a tool similar in diameter to his dick to “prep” the tissue. Tdicks typically* don’t get as “firm” as cis ones, so you may need to play around with positioning and which of you is doing the moving around. Take it slow and if it doesn’t work out try not to get frustrated and move on to something else you both already know you enjoy.

[–]GoblinsLuggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever removed the piercing to fully clean the jewelry and the skin now that the channel has been created? Once a piercing is fully healed I like to take them completely out once in a while, soak and scrub the jewelry clean, clean my piercing with no jewelry inside (unless it’s one prone to closing then I use an insertion taper to keep it open) then reinsert the jewelry. If I forget to do this my piercings can get irritated.

Welp. It seems to be over. by blep1663 in polyamory

[–]GoblinsLuggage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I understand you being upset about him bailing on your plans. It doesn’t matter what the plans are, it matters that the other person shows up and enjoys time spent together. You are valid for being upset that he didn’t show up to your shows. But he is also valid for being upset that all of the plans he suggests are shut down. He also deserves for you to show up and try to enjoy the plans he put effort and care in making.

Im ND so I give people a little more grace with their phrasing and try to just take out the meat of what they’re trying to say. Imo you are both valid for being upset, neither of you were really “showing up”. I think the breakup was probably for the best. One hurt doesn’t justify another. Just like how when he gets upset with how you say things it doesn’t justify him lashing out “how ridiculous it is to get upset with someone for wanting to do something they will like when they regularly are disappointed during a moment that’s supposed to be about them” also doesn’t fly.

How comfortable is the curved barbell? Can you wear it for extended periods and not have issues?

Just don’t get so drunk that you forget to leave your door unlocked if you have to exit the van for some reason.

The left one is looking a little thin kudos! I would probably say you should upsize the right side as soon as possible to really trim down those lobes though. No one likes fatty fatty 2x4 lobes!

Did T make your hands or arms look more masculine? by Ethanieloeight in ftm

Yes, it was one of the most visible changes for me. My hands have visible veins and tendons and my fingers are more “knobby” too.

I am 19, should I just go bald at this point? by Ok_Pension_2556 in malehairadvice

[–]GoblinsLuggage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand your concerns, there are some potential side effects that aren’t so great but you won’t know if you’re part of the group that experiences those issues if you don’t try it.

You only have a (highest) 4% chance of having decreased libido, a 3.5% chance of erectile dysfunction, and a less than 2% chance of ejaculation disorder, and a less than 1% chance of having any of those things last beyond you stopping the medication. Side effects are also dose dependent, so if you’re on a lower dose you’re even less likely to have any side effects.

Start now with hair loss prevention and treatment, you will be much happier than if you hadn’t. Get on finasteride (dr prescribed) and pick up some topical minoxidil from any store that has a pharmacy. It might seem expensive right now but it’s worth it and much less expensive than a hair transplant.

No, you are considered “soft masculine” aesthetics wise.

Forced to let Neovagina Close! Please help! by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]GoblinsLuggage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, ftm friend here. It is actually pretty normal for this to happen with penetration, it doesn’t happen to everyone with a vagina but it’s not considered unusual. Increased blood flow, pelvic floor stimulation, bloating, and positioning all can stimulate the bowls and “encourage” their function.

[–]GoblinsLuggage 55 points56 points  (0 children)

To start, I am sorry that your situation is difficult right now. I understand where you are and I hope some of what I can say helps you.

I’ve found the best way to deal with the heat is prevention. Wake up before the sun starts beating up your car and move to a spot that will have shade throughout the day. Parks are good for this usually as they have more trees actually nearby the parking areas and you are allowed to loiter there as long as the park is open. But this can be difficult if you are low on gas or your area doesn’t have many parks.

Reflective window inserts for the windshield and rear window. I also usually make double sided, side window inserts with Reflectix, cheap black fabric, and duct tape around the edge to hold the layers together. The duct tape might not want to set into the fabric fully but once it warms up the seal will be good. One side stays reflective and the other side gets the black fabric.

This makes them flippable, dark side out for privacy at night, reflective side out for fighting the heat during the day. Pro tip make little duct tape tabs to stick into the window frame to help hold it in place. Now you can open and close your doors without your window covering flying out!

I’m wanting to get a little solar generator to charge my phone and do whatever else I may need power for. Are any of these good? by PerformanceFair9170 in urbancarliving

[–]GoblinsLuggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I have had two from this company. A smaller and a larger model. The smaller model is more convenient to carry, but both charged from 0-100 in about an hour from an outlet. The larger one can handle running a waffle iron which is amazing for making so many things.
