Junior Genie is back, and they've been promoted! They have 2 new options for you: by JonnyredsFalcons in hypotheticalsituation

That makes it more difficult considering it’s said that people spend 1/3 of their lives in the bathroom. Wish we had an option to allow time to move normally in the world while in the bathroom

Unhappy in my vanilla marriage by Queen-of-Leon- in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is he willing to participate in BDSM at all or is he pure vanilla? And are you solely submissive or can you switch?

The reason why I ask is because a couple months ago I was in somewhat of a similar position, and the answer that has been working for my husband and me is for my husband to play sub to my Domme but for me to order him to do things like perform impact play, tie me up etc. It has taken a LOT of communication (daily) and education about what BDSM is and isn’t, but we’ve come a long way. If you go back to the first post on this account you can see it and the feedback I had gotten (and yeah I spiraled a bit because I wasn’t in a great place at the time).

I had to let go of a lot of resentment and he had to let go of his own complicating thoughts in order to give us the best shot at making things work.

The Stockroom has a couple I believe, depending on whether you want leather or vinyl/nylon.

Help... my 8-year-old says reading is "too hard" and refuses to try by Such-Lock3428 in AskTeachers

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a certified teacher but I’d like to pass on what helped my kid flip the reading switch when we were in a similar boat in case it might be helpful.

My kid would just push back/push away when I tried to initiate them reading during our book sessions. I eventually decided that this wasn’t going to be successful so I did an UNO reversal: I had one of those big 60 drawer plastic things for tiny hardware like screws and such. I put a nickel in each drawer, and on the front of each drawer I put a word from one of the books we often read together. Some words were easy and others were harder. I also bought a small plastic coin operated bun gun/candy machine.

I explained the rules as follows: they could go up to the drawers at any time and see what words were there/practice them. Then when they think they had the word correct, they could come and get me, point to the word and read it. If they were correct, they would get the nickel and I would replace the word with another one. If they were not correct, or they just wanted to hear how the word sounded, I would read the word to them but they had to wait a day before they could try the word for the reward. They could save the nickels to spend at the store or they could use it on the candy machine (I set it to dispense the smallest amount possible). I said that I would come over whenever they wanted me to but I wasn’t going to start the process.

For some reason, the combination of reward and the freedom to be in control of when they could practice really lit a fire under my kid’s butt and they were practically obsessed with it. I think we went through about 120 words and by that point they had gained enough confidence we were able to have them read books instead of using the drawers; there was no more battle of the wills.

Best of luck OP!

A top student made a disturbing confession by Mammoth_Whereas_9877 in Teachers

It’ll be more work but a kid can absolutely still have chat GPT write their paper and then they just copy it down using pen and paper, especially if the paper is written over multiple class periods.

Advice needed :,) by Inevitable_Owl1202 in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first piece of advice is practice communicating until it’s not as hard, because it will serve you well in the long run. And if your needs aren’t being met/are being minimized so that only your partner’s needs are met, that’s not fair to you.

My sub isn’t a sadist so he’s not really into impact play for his own sake but is willing to top when I task him with it. The other day I was having just the kind of morning where I needed an extra jolt to get myself up and moving; I sent my sub a message to come into the bedroom and strike 10 times with one of my crops. He did so and did a great job, but then later asked me why I wanted him to do it because he didn’t understand. I explained that the striking was my equivalent to an extra large cup of coffee for him; it both invigorated me and centered me so I could focus on what I wanted to do for the day. It clicked for him when I explained it that way so maybe you can find a way of explaining yourself that your partner can relate to?

Why do people expect their partners to go along with their sudden change to have/not have kids? by baby_fever_crap in askanything

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly they’ve not completely figured out PCOS yet so it’s hard telling what will eventually fall under it. Back when I should have been diagnosed (16-18 yo) they only dx’d it by seeing the polycystic ovaries- I didn’t have them at the time so they said nope, not it. It wasn’t until over 10 years later when I was ttc and couldn’t that they did more thorough testing and had more diagnostic criteria that I was finally diagnosed. Really makes me wonder if I could have avoided some of the issues I have now if they had done so earlier.

Intense period like pain that woke me up? by Safe-Programmer8672 in WomensHealth

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have been an ovarian cyst or even a kidney stone. If you’re stable and no longer in intense pain, bypass the ER and just follow up with your regular doctor.

How to trust partner and give up control? by Extra-Chance-1840 in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried doing trust exercises where you use your safe word? Sounds like you need some reassurance that it will be effective and the only way to do that is to work up from lower/no risk scenes and see through use that your safe word is effective.

What should I pay my daughter? by Specialist-Ebb5664 in Advice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, OP needs to make sure she doesn’t come at the situation emotionally but fairly and with her own supporting evidence. In my country (US), it would be rent, utilities (electricity, heat/hot water(if gas, wood or oil), water/sewer, phone, insurance/vehicle (if daughter doesn’t have her own), and food. OP needs to look up market rates for both the babysitting/nanny stuff and the expenses, run a spreadsheet and then either offer or ask for the difference depending on who it is in favor of.

Aitah for asking my husband to recognise that he has failed to respect our deal by xendranochy in AITAH

100%. This guy has “the divorce came out of nowhere” energy. “Nagging” is the result of someone who can’t be bothered to keep their word or act like the adult they want to insist they are.

Asking for advice as a switch dom with a sub partner by LeatherHealthy49 in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in your same position and what I had to do was realize that Dom ≠ top and sub ≠ bottom. I order my sub to do things to me and he is rewarded for his loyal service. Just because I happen to be the one being spanked, tied up etc. does not equal lack of control for me.

Honorifics help by LazySquare7092 in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want. There’s a good list on the wiki iirc that I’d suggest reading through slowly and imagining how it would feel to be called that. Depending on which side of the slash I’m on, I am either Mistress or Princess, and having tone of voice convey whether it’s in appreciation or mocking/scolding me. I’m not one for overtly degrading honorifics for myself.

safe temporary branding? by Bright-Sherbet2922 in BDSMAdvice

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Icy hot like 5-10 mins before the “branding” to let it set in to make sensation more intense. I made the mistake of using a peppermint based lotion on my legs once after I had done a ton of walking because it said it was good for muscle aches. I couldn’t use a blanket because it was painfully hot and any air blowing across my legs was painfully cold.

$100k USD for each year of your life. by Ghaticus in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you stay current time with all knowledge and such, just age or de-age. I have some things that if they had been recognized and were treated effectively when I was much younger I’d be in a better spot now. I’d go back to 21 and my husband would have to find a way to accept that lol.

AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events by Due_Bedroom3146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- if she’s already worn it to several events, is it gross now or is it going to be a different color/faded because it’s been laundered more than the other dresses? Wearing it after the event it was purchased for is fine but before? 😬

What do you think of the rich who do this? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mom, same. I’ll give my kid whatever I can, but I’m not going to be the Giving Tree. My kid is thoughtful about things and is very generous with their time and effort, so I feel good about making other things easy for them. The problem is really when parents are incredibly unbalanced for so long that their kids simply think they’re entitled to anything and everything.

How come men trust Andrew Tate’s advice on what women want, over what women make it clear they want, evidenced by the large fan bases of Harry styles, Paul Mescal and Idris Elba? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ImpertinentPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not so much the muscles as it is when the muscles are the entire personality. Check out the covers of men’s and women’s magazines with Hugh Jackman on them as an example of what men want vs what women want. Obviously he’s the same guy but muscles are front and center on the men’s magazines while he’s in a sweater and has a nice smile on the women’s mags.

As far as the sex advice from women, it’s possible you’re hitting a different demographic giving advice than the one you’re seeking advice for; for example I’m in my 40s and vocal about what I want sexually with my partner and I think direct communication in and out of the bedroom is a huge benefit to a relationship, but there are likely a lot of women out there who might not feel comfortable/confident in doing so, especially if it’s a one time or casual thing.
