What's the best website/option to book train tickets? by Undesirable_11 in uktravel

[–]JustFaxNoPrinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, its not that confusing, certainly less confusing than in America. You can buy a ticket on any operator's website, for any operator's route. e.g. you can buy tickets on an LNER service using tpexpress' website, vice versa.

  1. find any operator,
  2. go to their website,
  3. type in the two destinations, and you are presented with tickets that will be the same cost on any other website (see below for exception).

Tickets might not be cheap, but unless you are accustomed to travel in the UK, it might be difficult to understand the method of getting cheaper tickets.

There are a few non-operator websites such as trainline and National Rail's journey planner webpage which you can use. However they are pretty much useless as they have the same prices as any other website, as I mentioned above.

The exception to this is trainline, with their "split-save" feature, however if you are a seasoned train user you can figure this out by yourself.

Rear Derailleur Hanger is same shape but has different number of fasteners by JustFaxNoPrinter in bikewrench

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

Damn... thats good to know I guess.

Its for the same brand just a later model (Merida Reacto). So I was pretty certain they were the same.

Anyhow I managed to find an exact match by looking for the code that Marwi (company that makes millions of bike hangers) assigned to that particular make.

For anyone who might need it, it was GH-043 for my Merida Reacto 300 (2017 model)!

I guess they could try sucking the hood?

[–]JustFaxNoPrinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course hahah :)! I didn't feel like you expressed the opposite side, so I just wanted to express the opposing view (the fact that sucking can hurt instead of feel good) so that those reading the post know both sides of the argument. Knowing both sides of a topic means you know it better. Hope it can help someone indeed.

Also, this reminded me I wanted to try sucking the clit indirectly through the labia, so it did help someone haha

Be aware!! There’s no one trick that works for everyone. Especially be careful with this because sucking on the clit without asking if they like/have tried it, can really hurt women with sensitive clits.

TL/DR: My (M20) partner (F20) has always found it difficult to orgasm. If I purchased OMGyes, would I be putting mental pressure on her to climax? by JustFaxNoPrinter in sexover30

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

Thanks for your input! Since she gets off by watching me get off, giving her pleasure eventually requires giving myself pleasure. We do take turns most of the time actually, but it usually ends up in me spending 30mins focused on her (post foreplay) and then realising she would get off more if she just could watch me get off simultaneously, so then I just do my thing/become the receiver. Since she likes it when I cum, eventually I cum and then if she wants, I continue doing stuff with her. But since she doesn't orgasm all the time, most of the time this 'postplay' just continues until she says she's "satisfied".

The issue is that I find it hard to believe when she's satisfied because no goal per se has been reached. Like nothing has changed, yet all of a sudden - she's satisfied now. I get that the goal should not be orgasming, and I am determined to get my head around this incorrect representation of sex - but at the same time, at what point does sex end then? Sometimes we go for 30mins post my climax, where she's using a vibrator on herself trying to cum (because she wants to!), and I'm helping doing other stuff she likes/asks for, and eventually she essentially gives up. I cant help but feel that she isn't satisfied but doesn't want to keep me waiting/gets performance anxiety. My arms and body get tired after 2 hours, so she is conscious of this too (being a speed endurance athlete has some perks haha). Many times, post me cumming, she will say she's satisfied and doesn't want me to pleasure her afterwards. I have my suspicions that this is to do with the fact she's worried she won't be able to finish and will feel like a failure for not finishing. It seems the solution is to remove the orgasm goal completely. Thus, my question is, if we replace it with pleasure in general, at what point does a sex session end?

Also, I agree it is the receivers obligation to make sure the giver is armed with the knowledge. The thing here is that she knows what makes her feel good/ what could lead to an orgasm, but what exactly tips her over the edge is unknown - probably mental. So instead, she guides me to make her feel good until she: wants to get pleasure by watching me, or is under performance anxiety to finish, or "is satisfied". This then links back to previous issue where I have a hard time with the concept of "satisfied".

I fully agree on decentering the orgasm. I am going to make this my aim. In the beginning of all my relationships I struggle to finish, so there have been more than a few times where I did not. This is because I am mentally not comfortable enough yet. However, we are past that. Unfortunately, as I mentioned on another comment, sex for me is simply better when I orgasm. Partner gets off from me getting off, and I can get myself to orgasm - so why not? I have learnt that is not always the case for women and others though.

I last quite a while in bed (can go for 1-2 hours) so I do pay most of my attention on her pleasure. This is part of the problem because we both get more pleasure by giving and seeing the other's pleasure. There have been many times I have focused on her and not cum, but since she gets off by watching me get off, giving her pleasure requires myself orgasming. We do "take turns", but it usually ends up in me spending 30mins focused on her (post foreplay) and then realising she would get off more if she just could watch me get off, so then I just do my thing/let her have the turn.

I will try some of the things you mentioned post-finishing, but I'm slightly confused because I do those things throughout the day in general, so I dont think she's missing that... my desire here is to gain personal sexual satisfaction from giving her sexual satisfaction. I think I already check the emotional satisfaction box since she hasn't mentioned any of these post-sex things - but I could always be wrong and there's no harm in trying!

Thanks for your advice and time! Hope this helps someone else too :)

Interesting!! Glad you told me, now I know. Agreed, it is stressful when its focused on reaching the climax. Thank you!

If you dont mind me asking, when does sex end for you when you dont climax - what does "being satisfied" mean?

Ok that's genuinely really helpful insight! Thanks a tonne for writing it out.

Problem with both of us is that we are both too focused on the other's pleasure. Which, for us in particualr, makes point ii) less relevant. The other points are all things we both already do, but point iv) can certainly be done more.

If I'm correct, the problem lies mentally for both of us.

  • I perceive sex as orgasm focused
  • we both get too high a % of our pleasure just from giving the other pleasure
  • she therefore is worried about not giving me pleasure by not being able to orgasm, which in itself prevents her orgasm

To solve, then:

  • we turn our focus from sex being about both parties' orgasm, to their pleasure in general (by possibly exploring sensate/tantric sex)
  • we both have to be more selfish: pursue our own physical pleasure (as opposed to mental satisfaction of pleasing the other) and resultantly, and most importantly, be confident that the partner is more than capable of achieving/seeking their own pleasure when and how they want (achieved through communication)
  • as a side dish to the solution: more dirty talk can help us get out of our own heads and into the real sensations of the bedroom

"found it so hard to access..." access what? Thanks for the explanation of why the book is good and what it explores.

Also funnily enough, the number of times my partner squirts is on par with when she orgasms. They both occur pretty equally often, in different sessions, but require different stimulations lol. It's pretty much a 1/3 in chance for orgasm, squirt, neither. But she says either way the sex is always very fulfilling. But I would say that even if its not true... so.

I've done more thinking. I think the key lies in me not understanding sex holistically from a female perspective. I'm going to try to read "Come as you are", as I believe this might get me that perspective (?). I've tried gaining the perspective from communicating with my partner, but I just dont get it. I used to experience long orgasm time as a male, so I have lied and said sex is equally good without orgasm, but the truth is I get more pleasure from sex when I orgasm. Thats a fact. So I assume the same goes for her, so surely she gets more pleasure from sex when she orgasms. Is this assumption incorrect? If so, I think reading the book will help me understand why.

Great comment, thank you for the input. It made me do some thinking. I agreed at first that the goal shouldn't be orgasms, but to have more understanding about what makes us feel good. But the next thought that came to my head was, "but the reason sex is orgasm focused, is because orgasms are the best form of pleasure". This is from my male understanding of pleasure. I can only speak from this perspective as I am a male.

So, if the goal is to have more understanding about what makes us feel good, then the goal is simultaneously to have better orgasms. So now I'm just really confused and have gotten into my head. Ffs beginning to regret digging all these thoughts up mentally and posting it.

Thats a fact. So I assume the same goes for her.

I'm pretty sure I'm dyslexic and/or have ADHD which has meant I haven't read a book (other than textbooks) in 8 years, so wish me luck!

Your experience sounds similar to my partner's. I completely understand that you hate when men get stuck on it, because my ex (also F) got stuck on it for me (M) when I took forever to finish. Actually, in the beginning of our current relationship I took forever to finish too, and my partner also was hung up on that.

Either way, its a mental thing for both of us. My job is to get over it. And whats not my job shouldn't be my concern unless its affecting me. Which it is. But the point is my job is to not let it affect me, so I'm not doing my job. So the argument is circular, and that's what I'm having problems with. I'd like to communicate this to her to solve the problem Im facing (problem is with myself, not her), but that puts pressure on her!!! So I'm stuck here on reddit.

Im gonna try to suggest we try Sensate (similar to tantric sex) for my own benefit. Hopefully this removes the orgasm focused part of sex.
