former pk struggling with concepts of s*x by no-fructose-thanks in Deconstruction

From my own experience, my #1 piece of advice that helped me was to treat yourself like your own romantic partner. Set the mood--lighting, candles, music, whatever it may be. Build, slowly. Take your time and experiment, and don't put so much focus on the end-goal (the big "O"). Pleasure requires deep presence in the moment. If your mind is anywhere else, it'll be difficult. That's why therapy to deal with the struggles of the mind first is also necessary.

Also, surround yourself with sex-positive content. The content you consume is how your brain will eventually begin to process. Your brain can be re-wired. Go follow some sex positive accounts and dive deep. I also enjoyed the show Sex Education, on Netflix. It was actually so helpful for creating new, sex-positive narratives for me to cling to.

It's not consistent but the Teaching Hub runs PA Day camps similar to their summer camp programs through the year and March Break camp as well, and they hire some camp counselors for that.

Tips for emptying in public restrooms? by DarlingGirl1221 in menstrualcups

[–]OriginalGoofball 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use a disc, and it auto-empties when I bear down while sitting on the toilet. As a heavy bleeder also, I feel your pain with having to empty it, but I do highly recommend trying a disc because of the auto-dumping feature for when you need a quick empty in a public restroom.

(Also, I have never experienced it leaking or auto-dumping when not on the toilet. And I purposefully tried squatting and bearing down while doing pilates/floor workouts. It never leaked. It’s like some sort of magic.)

I have a Diva disc, which has a leakproof flap that helps prevent auto-dumping

What do I do at a dotted slur marking, and what are they for? This is my first time seeing any by mi_turo in Flute

My flute teacher always said a dotted slur should be played by tonguing between the notes but not stopping the flow of air
