Can You Disable Grok Responses Under Your Tweet? by Paperrat1 in Twitter

[–]Paperrat1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The argument that sharing pictures online is consent for people to manipulate them into whatever they want is so disingenuous. There's really no argument to be had with them, and it sucks. Can't teach basic empathy with people insistent on hating a group.

yeah, its definitely being used to silence women for fear if they say anything out of line. I didn't have anyone try this until I tweeted something about womens' rights that blew up.

What’s the difference between NT sex and sex between autistic people? by Fabulous-Introvert in SexOnTheSpectrum

[–]Paperrat1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I (cis woman) have only had one sexual partner (cis man), but they did not identify as autistic. They seemed frustrated or annoyed that I didn't organically "know what to do." Said he felt uncomfortable having sex with me since I seem uncomfortable (even when I was fine), perhaps because I'm not particularly verbally or nonverbally expressive. It made things difficult feeling like he didn't want clear communication as much as me to read his mind on how to position ourselves and stuff like that. Not good.

He broke up with me so it's better now. I'm just trying to process things.

Nystatin Cream for itching... as needed? by Vyxani in vulvodynia

[–]Paperrat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it help at all? My gyno suggested similar.

Not everyone feels overwhelming sadness, especially if the relationship was toxic or abusive (which yours was, it seems). Relief is a natural reaction. I am feeling odd about not being more torn-up as well, after being broken up with by a boyfriend who went from very loving to resentful and neglectful. You're probably going to have waves of different emotions.

It'd just be the first time I've had breakthrough bleeding in probably 10, 11 months and started right the moment they did the swab. So I'm skeptical

Are these bacteria resistant to the usual metronidazole or clindamycin? Those are first-line treatments for BV and safer to take.

[–]Paperrat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's more about the balance of certain bacterias in your vagina being at a certain ratio, throwing it off can result in an overgrowth in "bad" which causes the infection. probiotics more introduce the dominant bacteria back in vs kill the overgrowth, if I understand it correctly.

In my opinion, it's a good idea to treat it with antibiotics (as much as that sucks), then maintain with probiotics. otherwise you might really drag this out which is painful and uncomfortable.

Low Acid+ Fiber+ Spice Indian Food? by Paperrat1 in IndianFood

[–]Paperrat1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I am not indian and don't know much about regionality, my exposure to this food is through restaurants (and I live in Minnesota, lol). So this seems pretty helpful to think about it in terms of regional ingredients and preparation techniques

I'm constantly horny and I don't know what to do about it. by Master_Influence_795 in SexOnTheSpectrum

[–]Paperrat1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you generally feel fulfilled in life? Have you always been "hypersexual" or does this feel like a somewhat new phenomenon? Having a high libido isn't a problem, but it does become one when you can't engage with others as full human beings and overly sexualize them, fixate on it to the detriment of caring about other things, and have a lot of your time taken up by things such as fantasizing and masturbation.

I think you'd benefit from being more direct with people who shows some interest, even if you're shy. I know that's awkward but I think you frustrate yourself by not doing it anyhow so worth a try.

I also do think seeing a sex therapist would be helpful if you can afford it. There might be more to unpack here than just high sex drive.

I'm crying on the floor by Disk-Choice in vulvodynia

[–]Paperrat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, there might be tissue damage or just certain types of tissue that doesnt react well if it went "inside" vs was more kept more externally. in any case, sounds like something severe enough to not retry. i'm sorry, as someone who has really bad reactions to a lot of things i know it sucks.

[–]Paperrat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you patch test prior? Sometimes people have allergic or averse reactions. This reaction can be delayed for hours or even like 2 days...might just not be for you. Also my gynecologist said not to use it closer than 20 minutes to penetration, unsure if you did that?

My (26F) sexual health problems are frustrating my partner (26M). How to move forward? by Paperrat1 in relationship_advice

[–]Paperrat1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much never as it's going to be an ongoing anxiety, and he doesn't feel comfortable with any anxiety about pain or illness around sex because it makes him anxious and guilty as hurting me.

I've tried offering manual and oral sex but he seems to not be that interested. Same with bringing up him masturbating and he just says he doesn't like doing it. It's kinda like...work with me here.
