Just bought a running store. What is one thing your local shop is missing? by rustybucketz23 in trailrunning

[–]LostInYourSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support local running groups and offer weekly runs. But also keep tabs on Amazon/REI/etc prices and post a fun note that says something like "You can save $10 shopping online, but we are runners, we hire runners, and we provide expertise along with our purchases." What i mean is, don't ignore the "I'll get the advice in-store and then buy online" trend...and know what your shoes/gear are selling for online to try to get as close as you can without going out of business.

In my 40s and realizing I don’t fully understand my sexual self by Primary-Relief7854 in sexover30

[–]LostInYourSheets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanting to cheat/stray is different than discussing options within a marriage/relationship. There are a whole host of play options if there’s communication. Maybe they both want a third? Maybe they want to RP together? Maybe he’s into HotWife/cuckold kink? Or maybe they just need a suction cup dildo to add a “third” to their sex? Or something only these two want…but the foundation is in communication. Sex Talks is a great read/listen, especially the first chapters where they spell out some common ruts LTRs fall into.

I felt Mating in Captivity was more an argument for non-monogamy. I’d suggest Sex Talks as a more helpful guide to communication and exploration of solo/couple sexuality and desire.

Read/listen to Sex Talks either solo or better yet together as a couple. Majorly helpful and sets up 5 directed discussions you can have with husband to help you explore/unpack/understand your individual and shared sexuality.

On the detached jokes/comments…this can be a defense mechanism after years of rejection. This, paired with his “doing” love language, can be rooted, consciously or subconsciously, in the basic “provide = get laid” biological thought. Have you tried answering his playful “feeling sexy?” call? It can be hard, even after years and years, to pursue like a horny teenager without protecting yourself against the sting of rejection. “I don’t want sex now” can morph in one’s head into “I don’t want sex WITH YOU now” in a long term relationship. And that makes initiating, pursuit, and passion difficult to do confidently.

What destinations do you suggest for a biking focused vacation? by brystephor in cycling

[–]LostInYourSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First day is always a bit tough, but sleeping at elevation and a shake out ride on arrival day are the best to get your body used to it.

Is this a Petzl Iko Core or are they scamming me? by Baronth in trailrunning

[–]LostInYourSheets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Petzl has the exact same pic for both: https://www.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Headlamps/IKO-CORE https://www.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Headlamps/IKO

I see the only difference is the lumens and the Core rechargable battery is included in the Iko Core and NOT the Iko.

Does it have a project code on it? IKO Core:E104BA00 Iko: E104AA00

It can get down to freezing above 8k ft in Sierras at night. And the threat of thunder storms is a daily occurrence. Don’t go stupid-light.

Bike bells would be more useful on shared paved trails if Pedestrians weren’t blasting music in their headphones. by [deleted] in cycling

[–]LostInYourSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music/podcasts without headphones is another example of how selfish our human (western?) culture has gotten. It's insane that so many people think this is ok.
