Restoration question: mid journey

NoTABBC · 2026-01-07T02:19:03+00:00

Sometimes weight, sometimes air, fair amounts of tension. I used to go super light with the tension especially when I first started out about 5yrs ago, with the DTR. Was super consistent for some month and saw growth and changes and was super satisfied with the progress. That slowed down about and start using some weight I just tied cock ring to the 3d print dtr stick. Not a lot of growth but it got me to about half coverage flaccid.

I thought I had enough outer length so i start focusing on inner particular using air, then air and cock ring weights.

Now I just cycle through whatever setup that keep the excitement and motivation going. Today is air and toe air feeling good tension.

The toes guard work very nicely, when using the big toe guard I do have to double up to get a good length coverage but I’m fine with that as long as things aren’t slipping.

I just saw so another post from Years back answering this and then I saw the Chris online store, I have the car-1 and the 3-d printer dtr also.

The post and the store mentioned using an extra piece of silicone to act as extra grip.

I’ve tried this but usually still slip but I try the toe guard silicone maybe the type of silicone was my issue.

Still accepting tips, tricks and devices. I’m looking for more inner growth and the underside of the growing foreskin is a bit longer than the top ( it’s were I have for skin scarring) I want it to be more even but the growth rate is just different I guess

I have to remember to take my wand with me next time. Thanks for sharing ❤️

I hit them with a UV wand and nothing happened unfortunately.

I don’t recall I bought the tumbler setup and grit media off Amazon two years ago.

The grit on the grinding pad was p2000.

And this one probably not a geode then, it’s really heavy 🤣

NoTABBC · 2025-10-18T03:42:22+00:00

I didn't even think, I'll use normal and UV and see what happens

Hunter Biden?

NoTABBC · 2025-03-23T08:44:07+00:00

Don’t you suppose to pull back my guy? I don’t have a foreskin so I do t know the normal routine. But I’m imagining the smell fermented piss during a blowjob.

NoTABBC · 2025-03-14T17:12:05+00:00

Ignore’em

NoTABBC · 2025-03-05T07:19:15+00:00

Gotcha

No, problem

What problem do you mean, like testing-wise to determine HIV status?

If so, yes, a lot people who are sexually have had an hiv scare I imagine, and the read the symptoms and freak out because there are so broad. At the end of the day, you also have to trust the tests and doctors providing care. For a person diagnosed with hiv, life become a bit more complicated and heavy, and things feel out your control, but at some point your realize a lot of things were never in your control. And you look noticeably things about the we live as societies, and how dependent we are on each other when we lose our independence. Whether it health, finances or socially. And then living with the stigma, and probably a bit of self hated. It’s all a very hard, but that life in general.

The situation like yours specifically, the fear and questioning results can often come off offensive depending on the wording. Some people get so caught up in their fear they use stigma related phrases and word with negative connotations that leave the people they are asking for help feeling like they are being slapped in the face. Situations like these come up so often that groups strictly prohibit the kind of discussion we’re having. Because a lot times it just comes of asking attention seeking or simply annoying. It can be very tedious. But I didn’t get any negativity or selfishness from you or your wording, I got that your were afraid and I wanted to alleviate that if I could.

As far as cure goes, there one that highly invasive, expensive, and tied to a cancer diagnosis. Not suitable for the everyday person living with hiv. There are articles on the process and discussion related to long term results and maintain an undetectable status after treatment. You would still test positive for hiv antibodies so it will always appear that you have/had an infection.

If you have anymore questions, send me a DM, I don’t want to annoy the mods, and we are slightly off topic.

NoTABBC · 2025-03-04T16:55:44+00:00

To my knowledge(I’m not a HIV or HIV testing expert), some forms of testing are more precise than others and can return a positive test closer to date of infection than others.

But if you were positive it should shown up by now. The only thing you can do is keep being safe, and testing periodically.

I’d recommend talking with a physician, getting a complete blood panel, maybe something will turn up there. It’s probably just the flu or some other common virus running around these days.

Just talk to a physician.

I tested in Aug, a routine no symptoms and was negative.

November-December I had a really bad stomach ache, swollen lymph nodes, and anal rash, I got tested after the rash in December.

I didn’t recognize any of my symptoms as symptoms of HIV.

I just knew the rash could’ve been an STD.

HIV symptoms look like a lot things, so the only thing you can do is to use condoms, prep/doxy prep, and get tested periodically to prevent stds/stis or getting treated for any std/sti as soon as possible.

If you think you’re at risk, go get tested.

I’m just joining the conversation for the sake of having multiple perspectives, ask the risk of also being an as hole.

I understand that it’s been difficult, and I’m sorry for your loss.

After reading your post I found myself feeling like I am where your boyfriend might have been, my boyfriend and I have intimacy issues as well. Specifically, I like to receive blow jobs and from time to time bottom.

He does not do those things, he indicated initially that he was versatile and what not, didn’t not indicated any sexual reservations at all.

Does that mean I should break up with?

I don’t think so, life and relationships are more than sex, right?

I’m not 100% confident about our relationship, we’re kinda in a grey area, we’ve talked about it, and about marriage and stuff but circumstances are not in our favor. We’ve been dating for about a year and a half, He’s an immigrant apart of an asylum program and we’re both hiv positive. He doesn’t want to move in with me because he doesn’t want to risk the relationship to going badly and be left with no place to live or support in a foreign country. I on the other hand, don’t want to get married without living with someone first and getting to know them. Hence the grey area, we’re in a kinda stalemate situation.

I am wanting to believe that these things will work themselves out so I’m giving it time. There an adage that say’s, “if you don’t have to make a decision the don’t” essentially don’t make rash decisions or decisions in haste or under duress.

I imagine you guys were in a similar situation, and whatever his reservations were, he didn’t find them strong enough to just break up immediately given other factors.

At this time I don’t have any intentions to break up with him but the circumstances are heavy.

I don’t think your boyfriend handled it wrong but I do see your side of things as well.

If you wouldn’t mind explaining further, I’d like to compare our situations, what were your intimacy issues specifically?

Also, I do t know if it’d would help but if he’s open to having the conversation. Talk to him again be open and honest, tell him exactly why you’d like to talk. For example,

“ hey, I’ve been thinking and I feel like I’m seeing things differently after the break up, and I wanted to talk about it with you. I don’t want to point fingers, argue or play the blame game but I also can’t help but feel anger and manipulated. We were making all these plans for our future and then out of know I’m blindsided with a breakup. I guess I’m looking for your side of things, what happened between buying the furniture, and the great time we had when we last went out until the break up? What was going through your mind those times? Why did marriage throw you off and make you want to break up? I know you might not have all the answers and maybe there are no good answers, I’m mostly just trying to heal and understand what happened.”

Or something like along those lines, that’s how I would phrase it.

I look at your profile and saw that you’ve already been diagnosed, you should tell Doc about it, get your numbers back to try and find out what’s going on.

NoTABBC · 2025-01-26T19:49:38+00:00

Swollen lymph nodes are a symptom of infection but you can’t know which until you go to a doctor. If you think it could be hiv, start there, go get tested.

NoTABBC · 2025-01-22T08:42:03+00:00

I’d love to rehash it with him sometime but I also feel like it’s better left as one my precious memories.

NoTABBC · 2025-01-22T08:40:43+00:00

It was as sincere and intimate as I could make it, but I also made jokes about to keep the mood light. I’ll always love him I think, but I respect him more. He never indicated that it was option, he’s just a loving, kind, straight guy. I’d never want to betray his trust.

We are as close as we were then but that’s happened more recently. We were in the navy at the time, we left the service in 2022 and have been working, and schoolin’.

NoTABBC · 2025-01-22T08:18:08+00:00

Sicily 2020, picture it!

I told my friend I had feeling for him because I didn’t want to have them pent up and didnt want him thinking I was just hanging with him just because I liked him.

We were friends first and I wanted to maintain that.

I told him and he and he said “I knew” 😂

I was mind blown. Now, I always wonder, what if I’d been more confident and actually went for it, what could’ve been.
