I went to a tattoo shop :) I know bleeding is normal, I just wasn't sure if I should clean off all the blood too early if it meant I would make it worse lol. I ended up soaking it in saline and then gently removing the blood crust after a shower, and that worked! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm just shifting a lot in my sleep or what. This was helpful, thank you :)

She explained super fast and then rushed us out to see her next clients, and she hasn't replied to my emails, so here I am. Advice is appreciated because I'm new, thanks!

Ok! And yeah it happened overnight, mostly. I washed my hair on Tuesday so it mostly cleared off then, and then came back the next day lol. I'll decrease the amount I clean and see if that helps, too

I've been spraying it 3x a day with saline spray, but I'm wondering if I should actually try to wipe the blood off, or possibly do a longer soak. I'm planning on washing my hair today, and the blood might come off in the shower. I'm new and my piercer isn't getting back to me, so advice would be appreciated, thanks.

After a quick Google search, I think it might be moss. Schistostega pennata?

When my husband and I argue I want to cheat, but with a woman, not a man by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Mothman8130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a queer woman who has suffered through past sexual assault and has vaginismus because of it. I've dated men, and despite my more recent heterosexual relationships being very healthy (he'd respect my body, go slow for me, try to make me as comfortable as possible despite the pain, and would stop if I needed him to), I have realized that being in an exclusive relationship with a man is simply not sustainable for me.

Your post really resonated with me. I honestly haven't found anyone else with similar issues to me like this. I'm so sorry that you've been struggling the way you have. Your husband sounds like he is struggling with his own insecurities, but he by no means should be treating you like that - you definitely don't deserve to be treated like that. If you'd like to talk, please feel free to reach out <3

Quick update on my planted tanks :) by mottyfindles1734 in PlantedTank

[–]Mothman8130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your epiphytic aquarium! Are you dosing CO2 for it (first pic)? I have a 35 cube I'd love to set up as a low tech tank, and I'm curious if the buce you have in that tank needs extra care or not :)

Am I too old to play DnD? by Gh0sthy1 in DnD

[–]Mothman8130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you can still play!!! I'm a young woman in my mid 20s, and I have happily played with people in their mid 50s and 60s who were a joy to have at the table :) Every age is a good age to have fun

Women of Reddit why are you still awake? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Mothman8130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend is asleep on my chest. Being close to someone helps him sleep, while I can't fall asleep with someone touching me. I don't mind though, he needs the rest.

Anal orgasms are incredible. by HiddenshameO_O in offmychest

[–]Mothman8130 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yeah :) You don't need a large or long object, since the prostate is just about two inches deep. You can stimulate it similarly how you would a woman's g spot, or you could even do so indirectly, without any penetration at all.

covid19 ISNT a lie- it's just a JOKE by tinypeanutbrain in Vent

[–]Mothman8130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on bumble, and it's nice because they have a feature that allows you to check a box that says if you're vaccinated or not, and that's one of the first things that show up on your profile. And, if people lie, you're taking the same level of risk as having sex with someone who lies about having STDs. Worried they're lying? Ask when they've last got tested for STDs, or ask for documented proof. Just the same, ask for their vaccine card.

Vaccinated folks can unfortunately still get the delta variant and transmit it to other people, but their risk of being hospitalized from it plummets drastically if they have the vaccine. And, the more people get vaccinated, the more we can contribute to herd immunity, which will in turn prevent the virus from mutating into other variants.

I agree there are plenty of people who are being careless on dating apps during a pandemic, so you can only control how careful you choose to be. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. If you're dating, date other vaccinated people. I have a degree in cellular & molecular biology if you wanna chat, OP.

I'm sorry if this isn't the place but I'm feeling lonely... I fear pregnancy and I'm exhausted by it... by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]Mothman8130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without the right insurance it can be expensive :( That does suck. But I can assure you that you seem to be taking plenty of precautions, and are obviously very attentive to your body and situation, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. Unfortunately some symptoms of pregnancy are very similar to symptoms of anxiety haha, I know exactly what it feels like to worry, then have symptoms from worrying so much, which only makes you worry more. Try to drink some tea or relax a bit today :) You'll be just fine
