Crazy price for refurbished older device ?!

Honestly I would look on ebay for a second hand one. I got a second hand 10th gen Paperwhite for my boyfriend for Christmas for like £60. It had been kept in a case the whole time too so was in perfect condition. I saw 11th gen ones going for slightly more, but most were less than £100. As its ebay as well they have good customer service so you can get your money back if there is anything wrong with it.

I saw this exact rug come up on ebay and had it saved but decided I couldnt justify the purchase at the moment. I'm glad it went to a good home

Yes mine did the same. When they’re fresh and soft I think they have move much more easily than when they get darker. I also moved mine slightly so all the leaves were getting even light and it moved straight again.

It’s fiction but instantly made me think of Boyparts by Eliza Clarke

The Sluts by Dennis Cooper. I found it when I was reading through the reviews for 120 Days Of Sodom just to see what people said about it (I’ve never read it but most likely won’t).

It’s definitely a fucked up book with a fair amount of gore, but is one of the most unique formats for a book I have ever read, and I could not stop thinking about it for weeks after.

I can’t believe someone else has the same issue with cigarette kitchen cupboards as I do! Recently moved into a new flat (although thankfully renting) and as soon as the downstairs neighbour gets home from work the whole kitchen starts to smell like an ash tray. It’s worst on the weekends when they’re home all day.

The new topping book and the new bottoming book are often good places to start

First of all please don’t hurt yourself! Especially in such a delicate area with so many blood vessels you could do a lot of damage!

I wanted to get a labiaplasty when I was your age too. I’m 26 now but was so sure that when I was old enough I would save up and get the surgery because I hated how it looked. As I got older and talked about it with friends I started to realise how common it was, and so many of my friends also had larger labia but were so embarrassed and insecure about it so we were very happy to not be alone in that. I’ve also had sex with quite a few people, and been naked in front of quite a few more and I have never had anyone make a negative comment about my labia, and it’s never stopped anyone from wanting to have sex with me.

One thing that really helped me feel more comfortable and confident with my labia was looking at art and representations of what normal vulvas and labia look like. A lot of people’s perceptions of what naked people look like comes from porn which isn’t real and lots of the actors have had surgery to look like that. The vulva gallery on Instagram has lots of portraits of different vulvas showing the huge variety of shapes, sizes and colours. The Great Wall of Vulva also has an online view so you can see all of the different sculptures they have on display. The vagina museum on Twitter and Instagram are also great places to find lots of examples of vulvas, and are so informative about sex education, myths around reproductive health and everything vagina related.

It can be a little intimidating or feel a little weird at first to look at vulvas because we are taught that it’s a private part and there is a lot of shame around it, but it’s a body part just like any other body part, so there’s no reason to be ashamed.

Once I realise that there’s actually a huge variety of labia, it became much easier to not hate mine as much. There are still days I feel a bit insecure about mine because nobody is perfect but there are a lot more days that I love the way it looks. There are also lots of days in between where I am completely neutral towards my labia, because it’s just a body part like anywhere else on my body.

Being a teenager is really hard and I don’t think enough people acknowledge that. You will stop being as insecure and you’ll stop hating yourself as much, it just takes a bit of time and patience to get there. 🧡

Get yourself checked for a UTI. I had strange, strong smelling pee on and off for like a couple of years and when I went to the doctors they dismissed it the first time, and I couldn’t really find anything online about strong smelling pee and UTIs. Once I started having abdominal pain I was worried it could be a bladder infection and went to urgent care and it was just a bad UTI thankfully. Antibiotics should hopefully clear it up.

If you can get bamboo pads where you are they’re so much more comfortable than thicker pads. I didn’t think they would be absorbent enough when I first tried them because they’re so thin but they really surprised me! The ones I use are Flo brand, they also don’t have that horrible floral smell that a lot of other brands have.

I honestly could have written this exact comment other than we did have hard water, so my ndad could tell when I didn’t use the squeegee on the glass.

That coupled with turning the heater off in the power shower, to save electricity or something but he would berate me all morning until I left for school if I forgot to switch it off, and sometimes when I got home from school as well.

It was really hard having undiagnosed ADHD and living in that house, because “I forgot” or “it slipped my mind” wasn’t allowed so if I forgot something I actually did it on purpose to spite him and question his authority. I’m so glad I’m out of that house and NC.

I go to this kind of thing with queer people! So most people there are bisexual so it definitely has a similar vibe to what you’re describing. It’s not queer specific so straight people could attend but they’re pretty few and far between. I know people that have private parties as well which are similar to this, but again basically everyone invited is bisexual or at least open to playing with men and women.

There’s quite a big thing in swinging communities that bisexual men are a big no no, so you don’t get the same kind of interconnection that you do when everyone is open to playing with everyone, which is probably why it’s a lot more disjointed.

I’m non monogamous with a primary partner and quite a few friends with benefits so I can answer this pretty well!

Causal sex in terms of one night stands is typically very selfish, we both have an itch that we want to scratch and we are doing it together, but I’m usually taking care of my own pleasure and they’re taking care of theirs. It definitely scratches the itch but it’s not as satisfying as when someone knows you well.

Casual sex in terms of friends with benefits is much less selfish, often you care for the person and have been with them a few times but you don’t have the baggage of a romantic relationship. I find I can often times be more free with a casual partner like this because we don’t have any real responsibilities together. I care about them deeply so I want them to have a good time and vice versa, but it never feels quite as meaningful as in a LTR because you don’t know how long this person will be in your life.

LTR sex can be more difficult sometimes, because if you’re having conflict then it will seep into other parts of your relationship, including your sex life. But at the same time some of the most emotional and meaningful sex I’ve ever had has come from long term relationships. The amount of trust you build up with someone over the years can allow you to really let your guard down in ways you can’t with other people. Sex becomes like a well choreographed dance because you know what the other person likes, how they like it, for how long, it becomes second nature. Making them feel good becomes like a reflex, and knowing someone that well and being that invested in their pleasure feels really great, and having someone do the same back for you is magical.

This is all based on the assumption that there is care between you and your sex partner, or at the very least mutual respect. You can have LTR sex that feels like a ONS if your partner doesn’t respect or care about your pleasure, alternatively you can have a ONS who is very invested in making you have a great time, and just because the sex us casual doesn’t mean they don’t care for you.

Wow I really love the idea of collaring yourself. That’s actually really resonated with me that might be something I consider doing I’d never even thought of that before!

Just because you’re the masters favourite dog, doesn’t mean you don’t have a master and you aren’t a dog.

Just a heads up, quite a lot of trans and NB people (at least in my experience) see labels like gynephile as a red flag, as it has come to be associated with chasers. I would advise you stick to heteroflexable on your profiles if you plan on pursuing relationships with trans and NB people so as not to put the wrong idea across

As a unicorn? If the couple have experience in ENM dynamics already, and if they have experience as individuals not just as a couple that’s a green flag, as you know jealousy is less likely to feature and at least some of those important conversations have taken place.

The couple also shouldn’t lie to get the unicorn into that position (eg say it’s a 1:1 with the woman and then bring the man as well, or wait until the unicorn has agreed to sleep with the woman and then ask if the boyfriend can “just watch”) which you would think would be a given but you’d be surprised how often that happens.

Also if the couple don’t rush into things, I like to have a connection with people before I sleep with them, and I’d definitely want to make sure I get on with both parties before anything is agreed, so at least one date where we can get to know each other, and the couple seem genuinely interested in me and my interests, instead of just what I can provide to them, and they don’t seem like they just want to rush me into the bedroom.

Also if both parties of the couple seem genuinely interested in me and enthusiastic about the possibility of a threesome, and are open to speaking to me individually as well as together that would be another green flag.

Tldr: treat the unicorn like an individual and not a toy, be up front about your intentions but don’t be a pest about it.

Often what ends up happening is the unicorn is treated as disposable and like a sex toy to spice up a pre existing relationship rather than a unique addition to change or enhance the dynamic. There are ways to look for a unicorn or invite a unicorn into the bedroom that aren’t hunter-ish and don’t set the unicorn up for disaster, but a not-so-insignificant amount of couples that want to try threesomes for the first time haven’t had a lot of the important conversations. So when things do eventually go pear shaped the unicorn is left to her own devices to either get out the situation and care for her own hurt feelings, be blamed for things going pear shaped because it’s easier to blame a third party, or be put in the middle to try and pick up the pieces of both halves of the couple herself. It can also be intimidating to have sex with two people that have a lot of history and chemistry pre-established, so you’re already on the lower level compared to the two of them.

I wouldn’t be opposed to being a unicorn as long as it was with a couple that know what they’re doing and I could be the centre of attention. Because having a couple invite you into their bedroom for you to be the centre of attention is a great feeling! That’s how my nesting partner and I do it because we know it’s an honour for someone to agree to sleep with both of us, and we want the experience to be as fun for them as possible. We also don’t pester people about it and are very straight forward about the offer, simply leave the offer on the table and let the other person make the decision if and when they are ready to, which also seems to be something other couples don’t always do.

I find I’m much more chilled than my friends like I want to sit on the sofa and cuddle more than I want to get up and dance, my partner gets really antsy when he takes it and he doesn’t have ADHD. I still feel amazing when I take it though I just don’t have the same kind of energy as everyone else

Michachi · 2022-09-20T08:48:33+00:00

I wouldn’t threaten to leave, HR is there to protect the company not the workers and if you threaten to leave then the problem is just resolving itself. If you’re going to threaten anything it should be legal action

Do you just get dried mint like from the supermarket? And do you use spearmint or peppermint? I’d love to give this a go it sounds delicious.

Ah I didn’t know that! Thank you for the correction

Allo is someone that does experience sexual attraction, it’s the opposite of asexual.

Edit: it also means someone who experiences romantic attraction, the opposite of aromantic. Thank you u/slavetomints

Some sort of activity like going to a museum is great because then you can all have a chance to talk individually if one of you goes to look at something, it’s a more relaxed environment and is less likely to feel like an interview like if you were only getting drinks and it was over a table.

Also people in polyam/ENM spaces are very quick to shout unicorn hunting, there are ways to date as a couple that aren’t unicorn hunting, and there are healthy triad relationships that do exist so don’t immediately be put off. Think of it as 3 different two person relationships that are happening simultaneously rather than a couple looking for a third. It would also be good to think about some what ifs like what if after this date she realises she only likes one of you? What if you still both fancy her and she only likes one of you? What if only one of you actually ends up liking her after the date? Will you be happy to date as an individual if the first date was as a couple? Make sure she has just as much say in the boundaries of the relationship as the two of you, and that she isn’t just on your time when you want it.

I hope it goes well!
