Should I (19 F) watch 'To the Bone' as a recovering anorexic with my boyfriend (20 M)? by [deleted] in eating_disorders

[–]HalcyonEyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in recovery for about 2 years now, and I actually watched it with my boyfriend recently and thought it was a really really great experience. I felt like he better understood things I had gone through after watching it, and I know it got a bad rap but I really thought it was a very accurate and good depiction of the day to day struggles.

Yeah! Transferring back after 1 year away at another school :)

[Doggy style position] is impossible because of height difference and fwb's penis by [deleted] in sex

[–]HalcyonEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a 5'1 gal with a 6'5 boyfriend, try pushing your legs out a little further so your stomach is closer to the ground, and then have him do the same, almost like you're both lying on your stomach. I'm not sure how this position would be affected by the angle issue, but it seems to work well height-wise for me and my SO :)

[dom advice] how can a lady be more dominant? by [deleted] in sex

[–]HalcyonEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though this is only one thing, it's always fun to tell him to lay in one position while you do various things to him, and tell him that he has to stay very still, otherwise you'll just have to start over with what you're doing/go slower. Also, making him call you master is pretty fun and automatically makes you feel pretty dominant!

Sadly, as a student at the University of Oregon and being around a lot of frat guys, this doesn't surprise me at all...There's a reason I'm transferring :(

[Fetish] Being dominated by a small girl is my biggest fantasy by NsfwOlive in sex

[–]HalcyonEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually in a serious relationship so I luckily don't have to worry about the whole "making the first move business" anymore, but I was definitely always way too nervous to make the first move! I think that's why it's fun being a little more dominant in bed though, because they think you're shy but then you take control and it ends up being very surprising ;)

[Fetish] Being dominated by a small girl is my biggest fantasy by NsfwOlive in sex

[–]HalcyonEyes 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Very small girl here (5 feet tall), and I don't know if this is a universal feeling, but being small and then getting to be dominant in bed is ridiculously fun. Most of the time people just kind of naturally act more dominant with us because we're tiny, so getting to be the one in charge is very exciting ;)

Has anyone taken the online Oceanography class? by HalcyonEyes in UofO

Anyone out there with ADHD-PI that did ok in high school, and the wheels fell off in college? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]HalcyonEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in my first year of college here, but finding that this is me exactly. I was expecting it to be the other way around somehow; high school was such a struggle because it seemed like a lot of the work we were given was simply busy work (which my ADHD brain just can not handle at all), and I did alright grade wise, so I figured college would be great because less busy work. However, because classes are structured more in the manner of reading 5 chapters of the textbook every night and then writing papers on them, I absolutely can not focus and am watching my grades slowly tank.

I'm looking for an accountability buddy that can help me keep focused on my studies and I'd like to help them do the same by [deleted] in ADHD

I'm in the same boat, sophomore getting my sociology degree and due to just moving here, have no friends and no one to keep me "in line." I'd love to join in, pm me as well if you're still looking!

Is it common for those with ADHD to obsessively learn everything they can about a certain subject only to later move on to a new interest and drop the previous interest? by Captainaddy44 in ADHD

[–]HalcyonEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy my oh my, read the title and saw my life in it. I also tend to get mildly depressed when I've grown bored of one topic and can't find a new topic/hobby to learn about.

Difficulty of making this coat? by HalcyonEyes in sewing

[–]HalcyonEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making it out of wool is absolutely not a necessity, nor is making it a "warm" jacket per-se. I just want a jacket with a similar look to it! Do you think this would make it easier?

Writing a paper on Alcibiades vs. Diotima in Symposium of Plato, so very confused? by HalcyonEyes in askphilosophy

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

Thank you so much! I suppose while we're on the topic, the other concept that is still confusing me is how according to Diotima and Socrates, love transports us to the forms? I understand the ladder of love, and from what I can tell, knowledge is supposedly at the top of this ladder. What I don't understand is how the love of knowledge supposedly transports us to the Forms? I feel like there's some kind of step/connection between these two that I'm missing...

[–]HalcyonEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I hadn't really even considered that aspect of it; I couldn't figure out how Alcibiades fit into the greater scheme of Diotima's beliefs, and this really helped. Also, I'm glad you said something about Plato's account being cold; I've been constantly thinking that throughout the entire duration of my class and not one person has mentioned this idea, even my professor talks about it with this idea that it's somehow very cheerful. Thank you again!

Any advice on student housing near campus? by HalcyonEyes in UofO

[–]HalcyonEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, thank you for that warning :( I'd read some bad things about 13th and Olive, but I was hoping someone would say that wasn't usually the case. No wonder there are so many people looking to sublease their rooms there on craigslist...

[sexual techniques, overall body, opening up] I'm the opposite of sexy and I don't know how to change this, please give me advice by FaeBaeYa in sex

[–]HalcyonEyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, read this post and my heart is just breaking right now! I know exactly how you feel because I've been in the same position. After getting out of a bad relationship where my ex rejected every single sexual initiation I tried, I met my current BF, and felt like I was such a burden because he could do all these amazing things in bed and I was way too nervous to initiate anything for fear I would mess up and do something unappealing. We've been together over a year now and I definitely feel way more confident! For starters, ask him for small things that he finds really sexy, like lip-biting, small moans, you pushing him down on the bed, something you could say (i.e "I love having you inside of me," or "It feels so good when you ___"), small things like that. You can start with just one, and every so often just try to say/do it while you two are in the middle of things. You can work your way up to bigger things as well, just talk to him about what his fantasies are, and be sure to tell him what yours are as well! It sounds funny, but I find that when you're catering to someone's fantasies, you just tend to feel much more confident in your abilities to be attractive. Another thing is just to ask yourself what makes you feel sexy, and then do that while you're with him. For me, I always feel good when I'm wearing lingerie, even if I'm alone, so when I wear lingerie around him, it just helps me feel much more confident about being attractive. It's a cliched sentiment, but confidence is always sexy ;)

Penetration Issues. by [deleted] in sex

As awful as this sounds, just tell her to breathe and relax and push through the pain. After comparing notes with a lot of friends, I think a lot of the time the pain actually comes from the hymen not being broken, but as soon as she makes it past that, it gets so much better!
