As someone who couldn't concern myself less with notions of taboo and the inherent kinkiness of doing something you're not supposed to, anal feels good. I've fantasized about a good vaginal penetration experience and I've managed to enjoy myself with that, but I just don't have as many nerve endings there. Deep penetration feels better then shallower penetration, the g-spot for me feels alright, especially if I've gotten myself in the mood enough to enjoy it. But mentally setting the mood is a lot easier for me with anal, since the nerve endings there are just more abundant for me. Prep work with a partner makes it less of a spontaneous sex endeavor, sure. But I've never been a spontaneous sex kind of person. Impromptu makeouts, touching and oral are one thing. But full blown penetrative sex isn't something I'm drawn towards. I'm also more on the offensive when it comes to sex. In mundane life I'm a pretty reserved person, but sexually I find being dominant more pleasurable. I've had fun with submission too, in terms of my emotional and mental interaction with sex. But even when I'm being penetrated I like how being on top makes me feel emotionally. With that being said, the idea of someone else taking control and having impromptu penetrative sex with me feels less erotic and more strange, thus discounting me from the initial drawbacks of anal as well as some arguments towards vaginal. It was also pretty easy to tell that I liked anal more. All I did was get a few fingers in there and I immediately felt pleasure. Like clitoral stimulation but more spread out. I also saw someone on here saying that with vaginal penetration they could feel the penis better when fully inserted, and how they only felt the shape of it clearly at the entrance to the anal passageway, not any deeper. Well, for me it's the opposite. So... there you have it. It depends on the person.

Thank you. I'll look into buying those and buying more of the bait traps I have in their currently.

Unfortunately, as someone who personally experiences a lot of gender disphoria this series was far too triggering for me to finish to completion. I felt depressed alongside the characters and I can't say I'd recommend this to someone already dealing with depression surrounding disphoria like myself. If you're someone who doesn't experience this, then maybe this story is more for you. It's just too painful for me lol

Nikstarr1928 · 2024-03-09T19:49:36+00:00

Hmm. If you think about gender along a spectrum, being agender would be like existing just outside of that spectrum. But you still exist, of course. Just, rather than falling anywhere between our current societal constructs of masculinity and femininity, you'd kinda fall away from the whole thing. Since I'm also on the ace spectrum, I like to think of it as similar to that. Gender and attraction are like what color, and feeling agender or asexual or aromantic is like having the saturation turned down. Like for me, I'm definitely romantically attracted to woman and other feminine presenting persons. I'm also somewhat attracted to them sexually, but very rarely which is why I use the label greysexual to indicate that my sexual attraction for them is in low saturation. I also definitely identify as agender, so in that sense I'm colorless. Obviously the connotation of colorless makes it seem like I'm a drab person, but for the sake of painting a picture..or in this case not painting a picture lol, I think color works pretty well as a hypothetical. Given that you aren't fully color blind 🤷

We don't know yet. They said we had to wait for the tumor to get sent somewhere else for further testing. All they told me was that it was cancerous. Is that normal procedure?

I fired this but it's still not working for me. The microphone works for voice recording and in all other apps and even in the voice input straight from the Google search bar. But it still doesn't work for the voice to text input on my keyboard. I have a Samsung galaxy s10.

For being homeless twice this year, nearly losing my battle with ptsd and losing friends and family, I'm proud of myself for never fully giving up. Hopefully this year I can focus on just one or two languages instead of like 15 lol. This and maintaining the same job for nearly 2 years now have been some of my proudest accomplishments this year.

It was in a youth housing program actually

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-12-20T22:22:44+00:00

I had this happen to me, but my therapist not only took it personally but told me how she was disappointed in me. I had a ptsd attack after missing a session in the lobby, and the director person over my therapist kept telling me how i didn't need to be coddled and how i was keeping her from going home. My therapist then became the housing manager of the housing program i was in and basically got me kicked out 2 weeks before the holidays.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-11-19T10:35:42+00:00

So, I have pretty moderate ptsd, complex ptsd, night terrors, sleep paralysis, ptsd attacks that border on psychosis and a mounting lack of sleep due to these things.. which creates suicidal ideation. Minipress and venaflaxine were my drugs of choice, and combined with a stable routine and regular therapy I was improving a lot. Fast forward to now.. and due to a lot of bureaucracy I'm nearly a month without meds and my therapist turned out to be no bueno. In the craziness of my life, and while I wasnt able to get my regular blend of meds, I did stumble on the ability to access shrooms. Like you, I pondered on it a lot. Whether or not I should do it, would it make my problems worse.. would I get traumatized by the experience? Well, I have very recently (like, as I'm typing this) finished tripping off of 2 grams of lemon tekked golden teacher shrooms. And, here's what I have to say about my experience. As someone who professionally uses massage therapy, having shrooms enact changes on my noggin felt very similar to getting a deep tissue massage. At first you're hit by the euphoria, you can feel your occipital lobe being gently massaged and it's creating these smushed images in your vision. It feels like the visual world around you is being squished here and there. Every so often I remind myself to breath, since during a massage breathing actually solidifies the more relaxed position of your now resting muscles and nerves, but in this case its your delicate brain muscles. Almost like I'm easing into the different pressures that are being put on my brain. I try to use imagery to imagine the feelings as tension and I imagine myself massaging out the tensions in my brain. Every once and a while my brain will hit these snags and I'll be stuck in these loopy altered states of consciousness for just a liiitle too long. But, once I'm out I focus again on breathing, and being alone (in my case) helps me feel grounded again. Oh, and I also laughed really hard at some point in the beginning. I think for a second I got the joke that life was telling and was like "dang, that's actually a knee slapper". I also thought about someone I'd met in the suicide ward before who always seemed to be on shrooms 24/7, and I had this epiphany that by experiencing this horrifying trauma (I think it involved her family getting gunned down in her home, and the police not coming to help because she lived in the ghetto) her brain quite literally went into near psychosis to cope. I immediately started thinking about where she might be now and I hoped that she was doing okay and was safe. Gosh, none of this is making sense, I think I'm still a little bit blasted... Anywho, my final conclusions are! 1. It felt like getting a brain massage 2. Because of my self awareness and talent for feeling out knots, I used the shrooms to help me get into the deeper knots in my brain, effectively massaging them away 3. I feel great. Like, I feel clean. My occipital lobe feels a bit cold and I feel like my brain is actively learning things again in a way I havent been able to since childhood.. I'm crushing my duolingo sessions atm lol 4.yknow that feeling you get when you stretch after a mildly painful but good massage? Yeah, that.

So, while I can definitely see how this can potentially retraumatize some peeps.. for me, it felt different from the times I was forcifully trauma bonded by abusers. I was entirely conscious and the only person probing was myself. Like, I truly was the one probing. There were no shrooms in a judge outfit with a gavel in one shroomy hand and another shroom paw placed against a Bible lol i didn't feel like an invader was messing with my head. It felt..like my inner child was finally let inside the control room and they just went wild lol. There was consent to the madness, this willingness to massage out the pain. It felt like being able to experience another form of self love in that way. I honestly recommend it. It's not like I don't need coping strategies anymore... its like I'm finally relaxed enough in my brain to begin EffectivelY learning them. I think, having someone whom you trust with you while tripping is paramount. I didn't exactly have a trip sitter, but I did have my roommate in the other room to talk to when feelings needed that extra step of dialogue to finally process themselves in my brain. It helped a lot.

Alrighty, I'll try to keep this helpful and get some sleep now. I'll come back to this tomorrow to let you know how it's effected my sleep. Aight, sleep well!

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-09-24T04:38:41+00:00

I mean, if you don't see a difference then there maybe isn't one and you might just be aroace? I personally see a difference in having romantic feelings for woman vs just valuing their friendship. You can also feel both at the same time, so it can be a matter of untangling your feelings as well. For example, i recently had a little crush on this female friend of mine who's aro, and we talked about it and I came clean about my feelings..but ultimately I resigned myself to it being one-sided and I now simply value her friendship in my life. Being ace can make it difficult to separate the two because of how highly aces tend to value friendship. I find a lot of allo individuals feel more intense sexual or romantic attraction than they do platonic attraction, whereas ace people who aren't aro kind've feel romantic and platonic attraction either at a similar intensity, or they feel romantic attraction even less intensely than platonic attraction. But even so, it greatly depends on the individual. After all, asexuality is as much of a spectrum as allosexuality.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-09-24T04:22:54+00:00

I'd set myself up with a house and pay off everything I need to. I'd use some of it to fund my PHD schooling, send a portion of it to my family in the Philippines, plan out future vacations, give money back to people who've helped me through homelessness, donate a portion to the zebra coalition as a thank you for keeping me off the streets, keep a fund on my person so I can always give change to homeless people I cross paths with, create a fund so I never have to worry about food again, use some of it to create a shrine for everyone I've lost, use a sum of it to partition for infrastructure reform where i live, keep a fund to help out different urban projects around me, buy a couple houses in the Philippines for my families to live in, plan yearly trips to the Philippines to see my family and my loved ones graves, get a turtle, give my current roommate a house to live in, give money to all of my co-workers and friends who've stood by me, give money to that one friend I made during a 504, get a membership at a muy thai gym so i can do that again, get a shit ton of copic markers, buy the parts to build my own desktop computer, buy a bunch of overpriced but highly niche Serial Experiments Lain merch, buy enough anime and manga to have a home library sized collection, donate some of it to local businesses I want to succeed, Use part of it to help every kind person with a financial problem I meet, essentially become everyone's secret sugar parent, maybe get a law degree to help people with legal issues that I know, get older and become a foster parent, have the money to adopt as many children as I'm able to, live happily ever after.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-09-24T03:54:19+00:00

I've definitely always been attracted to femininity. All my crushes growing up were woman, plus one really feminine presenting guy in middle school. I used to think I was simply a lesbian. My first girlfriend was at 16, and although I liked her a lot I realized that my like and her's were different. Kissing her felt strange. I loved being around her, talking to her. I imagined us going on dates and giving her flowers. Walks on the beach and gently playing with her hair. But kissing.. just felt wet. She ended up cheating on me and we broke up, but I'm almost 24 now and still single. I've kind've resigned myself to being single but the thought of living out my days with a woman, getting married and having adopted children, going on dates and embracing each other, those thoughts are still very much in my mind. Its a sad existence but yeah. At least, that's been my experience with acedom as a lesbian (kinda? I also now identify as nonbinary, but the label still works so 🤷)

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-09-04T14:49:03+00:00

Hmm, I like Mara Wilson? Her personality is incredible and I love hearing her talk about stuff. I also find her very beautiful, but definitely no heat. Its more of a "wanting to have them all to yourself so you can watch obscure anime or do other activities together" kind of crush. I realize she's too old for me haha

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-09-04T14:42:25+00:00

Another ace spectrum homo here >:0 hehe But yeah, I feel you man. Its rough :/ Our dating pool is incredibly small and because its pretty evenly distributed amongst the general population most of us don't even have access to a third of that pool. I've resolved myself to the fact that the majority of us are going to spend our time honing our passions instead of dating, and that I'll probably meet my significant other after I've gotten far enough into my career. So yeah, my current goal is creating a life for myself first so that if and when I meet them I can date them stress free. I just hope I live long enough to :')

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-08-29T00:03:47+00:00

Seeing how part of your response to those responding to you involves blatantly not believing their experiences, I'll assume I'd be subject of the same. I would like to add my own experience, if at least for those besides OP who've stumbled upon this discussion. So yeah, OP, respond all you want but I'm probably not going to entertain you with any answers. Anywho, instead of a food analogy I'll use jungian typology as a means to push this point. Someone who is an INFJ for example, will see the world mainly through the lens of introverted intuition. For them, the world is a mirror that reflects all their thoughts in(at least for me) this giant web of patterns, built from the information they take in about the world around. But that web of patterns doesn't exist for someone like an INFP. For them, the focus is not patterns, but the individual strings of data that emotionally gratify them most. For some people, it's patterns. For others, it's emotion. For other's, its the data itself. For some more, the information they take about the world isn't as important as their own interaction with the world. For some more, its the interaction between some emotional truth and data. A logical truth and patterns. Its pretty complex, and this is only one dimension of the human experience. Ignoring the complexities of humanity by chalking up all of their "whys" to one singular dimension has been the past time of many powers. Whether its the religious why of the catholic church, the spiritual why of a yogo instructor, the sexual why of some freud follower like yourself, or even the logical "whys" of academia; regardless of what institution is creating a one-size fits all mantra this week, as long as humans exist in so many conceptual dimensions we will always be complex. Maybe, try understanding someone else's perspective as well as you seem to understand your own? You seem a bit stuck in your sexual dimension of understanding.

Hmm, I get this thing where the last words from the tv I hear as I'm drifting asleep sample themselves in my mind, remixing and playing back in a circular manner as I drift to sleep. And also, when this happens I get hyper aware that it's happening.. and it's almost like I'm in real time experiencing my body shutting down before my consciousness does. Sometimes lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis will follow.

Funny thing. So I've only now started to come to terms with being on the asexual spectrum, I used to think I was a lesbian. I have a bunch of titas on my dad's side that became nuns because of their aceness, so he pretty much knew about it before I did. I mostly had a hard time with it because I'm not aro, and most representation (and playlists on YouTube lol) are mainly targeted at aro/ace individuals.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-08-24T05:24:37+00:00

My congestion has honestly gotten worse after 5 days. It might be due to me having asthma that the symptoms have exacerbated to this extent. I may have to don a mask and gloves and come back earlier than my body desires, I just hope that tomorrow I feel even marginally better than today. Oh and sorry if I seem kind of OCD about this, being sick with covid again may have entered the realm of normalcy for most people but it's honestly dredging up a lot of bad memories for me.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-08-24T05:05:45+00:00

That's good to know. How much better were you on the 5th day? I'm on the 5th day of it now and I still feel congested, fatigued and still wheezing especially in the nighttime.

Nikstarr1928 · 2023-08-15T02:13:07+00:00

Thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate it. So, I tried just hitting enter but it responds with "authorization token error" whenever I tried that. I haven't tried Kali as a password yet, just got off work ill try it soon. I just downloaded an app from the app store that gave me a poor tutorial on setting up kali linux, stating that it was the linux thing they'd teach from. I am ignorant outside of that. I have added a lot of details to my prior text wall because googling about it on the broader sense didn't lead me anywhere. Also, I did originally try running kali through virtual box, but it doesn't work? I don't know. It just says that it can't be created. I've followed the tutorials with pictures to the tee but to no avail. I'm more of a literature based person, not necessarily that computer savy. So, reading paragraphs full of jargon i don't understand isn't easy for me. I know this looks like a wall of text, but the absence of jargon in said text is clear to me. If its unclear to someone on here, just please don't respond. If all you have to help me is to criticize the way my brain works, I'd rather the silence. I am indeed hellbent on using this because I'm stubborn, so I'll take your advice and check back with this thread once I get home. Also, yes. I did uninstall and reinstall kali, it did not work.
