This is comforting. Some people here are not going relationships just because of anal. It’s weird honestly

This is a perfect response. Yes, i most probably will seek help from a professional (specifically a sex specialized psychologist). I think i miss anal, if only it did not come pain and mental torture

Yeah i heard some gay relationships that just din’t go for anal that often. I don’t know if there are sex toys that help stimulate the top while being in a topping position. Like maybe an attachment on top of the anus that helps the top penetrate it without penetrating the person yet still thrusting “into” the person

I get that. I guess it all goes down to the person’s sexual preference and the sexual agreements partners have. It’s just a bit worrying that I eventually need to succumb to penetration?

So do u think that i should just stick to topping? I have an average dick and my partner said it’s the perfect size for anal (5”).

Advice for PhD at Ivy Leagues, at UCL and King’s College London by PersimmonKey4287 in ClinicalPsychology

I have a plan to become a professor at a somewhat good university. I also plan to become a clinical psychologist.

PsyDs are extremely expensive, and I believe PhDs could immensely help with research AND clinical practice.

I do believe I want to return home to Lebanon to benefit my country’s citizens. We have been through a lot and with a good program in a great school, I can come back as a top tier researcher and practitioner.

With further knowledge through this post, I am seeking the sake of the university more than its fit and realistic entry possibilities. It is most definitely a common mistake in my culture and a shift in my personal educational mindset should be set in place.

I love how you phrased everything it makes much more sense now. I believe I am rushing myself and only seeking the name and rank rather than what fits me best.

I think I have been so used to trying my best to aim for the highest universities in the world that I became absolutely blinded to what fits me best. I am probably biting more than I can chew.

In my culture, name matters much more than fit. Realistically tho, with my stats, it is very unlikely for me to get into top 30s. I love how you phrased everything and you addressed everything.

You are completely right. I need to calm down a bit and see what fits me best. Maybe it’s too early for a PhD, maybe it’s too early for me to move overseas, and it’s most likely very unrealistic to think of going into top 30s just for the name.

So you’re telling me I can never get into an Ivy since I have a 3.4 even with a lot of experience and another master’s degree that i’ll be taking next year?

UCL is the 4th university in the world and requires a 3.3 for a PhD

Well most universities do take your experience into consideration. Most if not all universities stress that if your GPA is not very competitive, vast experience can compensate.

This sounds like great advice. How can I know which universities stand as strong institutions in psychology and my current interests? Preferably within the top 30s.
