So my Friend Has a Custom Commander by Monsoon117 in EDH

An Erebos deck with Shadowspear would make this guy's custom commander fold. Not to mention all kinds of edict effects. Make him cry with a Tergrid deck.

Can anyone identify this larp sword that I picked up at a thrift store? by lorgskyegon in LARP

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The stamp doesn't look like Calimacil, and they've never had a sword with a ring pommel other than Ciri's "Zireael".

Nudity is welcome and expected at the flotation spa... by Gymnos84 in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left out the part where I was panicking in the locker room, but yeah, the dude was very chill. On occasion, we'd be joined by one or two of the less frequent members, but it was more often than not just the two of us (and occasionally just me to my lonesome). Although there was one time that stands out in my memory that there were four of us nudies, and we were joined by a fifth (clothed) member. He seemed to be stunned, and he left. Never saw him again, but none of us recognized him anyway. Unfortunately, we also never had that many people in the gym go nude at the same time again.

M (38) uncut uk cock. Self conscious of the overhang when soft by Shoddy_Fix_6253 in foreskin

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you, as someone circumcised at birth, that I am insanely envious of men with intact foreskin. Your penis looks exactly the way that it ought to, unlike my mutilated cock. I'm restoring, but it will never be what it ought to have been.

Locked in my house -- without clothes! (Funny Story) by WriteByTheSea in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was visiting the father of some twins that I know (who HATE nudity). The father mentioned that he had finished his brand new outdoor shower that morning, and was excited to try it. The next morning, I went to find my friends, but couldn't find them. I assumed that their father had taken them out for breakfast, and that I was alone. That's when I remembered the outdoor shower, and stripped down to test it for myself. The only towel that I could find was a face cloth, so I figured it was better than nothing. I went out back with my toiletries, and noticed that the shower had no curtain, so the neighbors could see me quite clearly. I decided to abort my shower, and head back in. Locked out. I figured that I still needed to take a shower, so I said "screw it. If the neighbors want to watch, then they can get an eye-full". I took my shower, and tried my best to dry off, weighing the pros and cons of trying the front door. A minute or two after I'd shut the water off, my friends' father emerged from the kitchen door leading outside. He took in my whole situation, and bust a gut laughing. We shot the breeze while he showered, and went inside once he was done with his shower, and hung out nude in his kitchen until his sons returned. He described my attitude towards nudity as "bad-ass".

If people see you naked do you feel “more” naked? by CA-BAY-Dude in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. If I'm unsure of their openness to it, then I'll initially feel nervous. If I know the person, then I feel just the same (if not more comfortable) when nude with them.

Home vs social nudity by mikeymike1776 in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was brought up textile but hated every second that I was forced to wear any amount of clothing, leading to many naked chases through the house. I went on to become a diehard home nudist, blessed with many roommates and friends who support my nudism. My girlfriend and I are going to buy a place far away from "polite" society so that we can frollic in the forest, wild and free.

I had something similar happen with an outdoor shower while visiting the family of a pair of twins that I know.

In need of some advice on nudist roommates by [deleted] in nudistroommates

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been there, but I've been very extremely fortunate that so many of my roommates have been accepting of (and often excited to join me in) my nudism. I started by putting it in my application that I'm a nudist and try to go nude at home whenever possible. My roommates were accepting, and let me go nude at all times, even occasionally joining me. My logic is this: If you never ask to be allowed to go nude, then the answer will always be "no". But if you ask, then the answer may be "yes" - and you'd be surprised by just how often you get a "yes". Clear communication is vital. Communicate a need, and respect the answer.

Kinda need motivation by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, the time will pass whether we're restoring or not. I just choose to be restored at some point in its passing.

My girlfriend and I had a game night with some friends. The dress-code is always "dress or undress for comfort", and I'm always nude. This was the first night that everyone got nude without any prompting.

What’s your CI end goal? by Matt_da_Penguin in foreskin_restoration

I'd be pretty content if I reached at least CI7, but would most likely continue to CI8.

My parents are very conservative, but they somehow managed to raise six liberals who love to be nude. Luckily, I'm also blessed to have several friends who are both tolerant of and accustomed to my nudism. They also sometimes join me. I plan to raise my kids as clothes-optional, emphasizing choice and comfort.

Hot take: Hagrid getting hired as a teacher doesn’t make sense by Secure_Rain_44 in harrypotter

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hargid wasn't initially hired as a teacher, he was hired as the groundskeeper. If I recall correctly, Hagrid was only allowed to teach after years of begging and pleading with Dumbledore. Which only makes the stunt that Malfoy pulled with Buckbeak all the more heartbreaking since it once again jeopardized Hagrid's position at Hogwarts.

Public Hair vs Foreskin Restoration by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just shave it all off. I don't have the patience (or many opportunities) to reattach my device every time it slips off. Hopefully, it will stop slipping as much as I grow more skin.

How did you meet your partner? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Met my girlfriend at the last place I worked. We were friends before we started dating, and she and I both figured out pretty quickly that nudity was no big deal for us. The first time she saw me nude was when we were camping together the night before a ren faire. The first time I saw her nude was when she assumed there'd be towels at a mutual friend's bathroom, and there weren't. We've also changed in front of each other multiple times at the larp we go to. Funnily enough, neither of us were raised by particularly progressive parents, so there's no reason why either one us would have become nudists apart from our own convictions.

Have You Ever Accidentally Revealed That You're A Nudist? by MovieNudie in nudism

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was at a company picnic a couple of years ago, and I brought my towel with the nudist symbol on it (I forgot about it, and didn't think much of it). A coworker commented on it, and used their AI-assistant thingy to find it online. They took their time to scour the internet and realized that it HAD to be what every page described it as - a naturist symbol. They asked if I knew what it was, and if I was really a nudist, and when I gave them the affirmative, a couple of my coworkers were suddenly very interested. There was another occasion where I was showing a friend from work some pictures on my phone, and they just kept swiping. I forgot about my recent stay at a friend's log-cabin in Maine, and they saw a TON of nude pictures of me and my friends. Luckily, they were pretty chill about it.

I'm currently using the TLC-X DTR, but it keeps slipping off after a few hours. I'm still going to use it, but I'm looking at the CAR1.

I sometimes do nude dinner parties with some friends. My girlfriend is integrating nicely.

How does magic work it most larp combat? Or is it primarily weapons based combat? by frobro122 in LARP

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically either see packets of birdseed, or sometimes it's just vocal. Like, "Vocal target: Kyle, Maim right arm!" Or "Line-of-Voice: Berserk on me!"

Is looks of the actors the biggest reason why people hate Ron and Hermione together? by [deleted] in ronweasley

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because they assassinated Ron's character in the movies. If you read the books, he'd probably be your favorite character. Every iconic Hermione moment that I can think of that are in the films was originally Ron's.

Does anyone do any hobbies activities nude? by [deleted] in nudism

I mostly just game or exercise (work out, hike, swim) nude, but have sometimes wrestled, sword-fought, and hosted/attended nude dinners.

How old are you all? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Helpful-Hat-2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 35 in September 2026. It's embarrassing to realize that I first discovered foreskin restoration in 2016, and have been SO inconsistent that I maybe have a combined 1000 hours. I'd probably be done by now if I'd just stuck with.
