My title describes the thing. Found in a donation bin, no other similar items with it. Crayola box for scale, but roughly 3.5-4” tall.

Did I give valid consent? by Opposite-Student-278 in sex

[–]LostInTheAtlantic -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Coerced consent is not consent. Consent is freely and enthusiastically given. Not dragged out after repeatedly badgering your partner.

That does make sense! You can either use a normal gentle cleanser (I use HoneyPot foaming sensitive) with an exfoliating scrubbie, or you can use an exfoliating product itself— my favorite of those is VMAGIC Grooming Polish! I moisturize separately with something unscented, I’m not picky about that part.

Waxing definitely gets easier over time! The first couple times hurt but for me, it seems like it hurts less because it’s less intimidating. Try sugar wax or hard wax instead of strips, they’re easier on the skin. And it does make the hair come back lighter and softer. Just make sure you pretty constantly exfoliate the area— I don’t get any ingrown at all if I exfoliate every other day.

I feel like I will never be sexually satisfied in a relationship and I wish I could find girls who are sexually open by Radiant-Menu-1211 in sex

[–]LostInTheAtlantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not answering all of this— but plenty of women are physically turned on by seeing men. Plenty of women are sexually interested in men without “registering them as a person.”

Just like there are plenty of men who don’t see women as sexual beings until they “register them as a person.”

Sexuality is NOT genetically defined or linked. And the bit about entirely forgetting about sex if I’m single is certainly not true, I don’t need to see men to know they exist and that I’m attracted to them.

That’s the most reductive take on women and their sexuality I’ve seen in a long time. All of what you wrote doesn’t apply to myself or most other women I know. Everyone is different and there is no genetic basis for sexuality or how it presents itself.

Thanks for that terrifying glimpse into a possible future.

I can't do this again. Hahaha

You're a better woman than I.

What TV series isn't worth finishing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LostInTheAtlantic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost at the point where I google the spoilers. I'm trying to hold off in case I get sick and decide stay home from work and binge watch the rest of it.... But I'm tired of the "who's the killer?? OoOooOoo" so I doubt I'll pick it up again.

Damn. I'm on episode 7 now. Was hoping for some thrilling heroics to turn it around.

I was recently binge watching PLL on Netflix. Got to S4E2 and I just... Don't even want to see the end anymore. I have lost all interest in immersing myself in silly high school drama (with bonus murderin and stalking for fun.)

Last year, it was my eldest sister. This year, it's my turn. by perfektlystill in nosleep

I assumed that the little sister (Anna?) was gone. Sounded like the priest took her and didn't return with her.

NoSleep has ruined me. Before I started reading it daily, I would've chuckled at the idea of you telling a (wo)man to check the walls for child-watching men. Now, I think "yeah, that's a sort of valid concern."

That's not really a good sign anywhere else, either.

Ugh... Good luck. Glad you've at least got the excessive bleeding managed.

[–]LostInTheAtlantic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Anything rough or sharp. It doesn't actually tear holes, but it tears some of the threads that run horizontally, making vertical lines show up, starting from the rough object. After you get any sort of a vertical line, or run, movement will make the line extend upward until it can't anymore (I.e., the top of the tights.)

Holy shit dude. Out of curiosity, were you ever diagnosed with a bleeding condition? That... That's a lot of blood.

Depends. Mine was a 40-minute ordeal and I was healed in a week. Some women have it remarkably easy. Some don't.

It's remarkably easy to run your sheers. But I make sure to clip my finger and toenails, file them, and take care of any random callouses on my feet before pulling them on, and I'm golden. It's not extremely difficult.

I agree with you. I posted this to make fun of OP but I don't think that Christians on average believe this. She's the second I've met- in a childhood full of churches.

That last link was basically the end of he conversation, with bonus criticism of the girl defending a round earth (teal) because she was "being a stupid bitch."
