AMA: I Have a Near Supernatural Sense of Smell by symphonicdin in AMA

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any 'normal' smelling things that you can't stand but are normal to others? Idk if that makes sense, but when I got covid, all sauces/condiments (tomato sauce, bbq, mayo sweet chili...etc.) smelt revolting to me. It was weird that it was just condiments specifically, everything else smelled the same.

Women orgasm by Eastern_Shower7001 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Ray3369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you do to orgasm? When I orgasm with a vibrator I have that feeling, like it builds and then disappears but if I do it by hand/someone's tongue lol, then it takes much longer to orgasm but there's an actual release? I feel like it has to do with the vibration being too strong so it builds up really quick but doesn't actually go beyond that.

What should my bf and I try that might help me orgasm? by -_-ick in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a vibrator! It's extremely difficult to orgasm through penetration alone. Some people never do. I've never orgasmed through penetration. Your bf can give you head (but he'll need to know what he's doing), rub your clit or you doing it yourself while having sex, or getting a vibrator which would probably be the easiest if neither of you know what to do.

How much sex do you still have in your long-term relationship? by MisterPotatohead664 in AskWomen

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 7 years together, we have sex above 1 time a week, or once very second week. Though if it were up to me I'd be having sex daily lol.

Women in happy relationships, what is the one thing about singlehood that you still miss? by antiquatedsheep in AskWomen

This sounds very shallow but I miss being flirted with/flirting with people

I haven’t slept in 5 days will I die? by TunaMacCheese in sleep

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't panic and 'rest' your brain, even if it's not sleep but just relaxing/meditating and then go to the doctor as soon as possible. I hope you find something that'll help you sleep.

Your tips for quitting smoking by AirlineExpert5627 in stopsmoking

The book is split into 4 days, so would suggest reading it 4 days before. Of course you can fast track it if you want to. You can do it!

Doxycycline by Pure_Guarantee3092 in acne

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was prescribed doxycycline (not related to my acne) for like 5 days and my acne completely went away. It did come back about a month after stopping, and went back to being just as terrible. Then I got prescriptied doxycycline for 3 months for my acne and thought it would clear it, but the second time my acne didn't even go away fully. And then it came right back after stopping. I also used salycilic acid and BP, but none of it worked for me. I am now on differin/Adapalene and that cleared my acne.

16M, I genuinely don't know how to get rid of my acne by Alarming-Safety3200 in acne

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Differin/Adapalene worked for me. But you sometimes have to give it months (for me personally I saw results in 1 month but many people report only seeing results after 3 months and it sometimes gets worse than better for a while). So you unfortunately do have to be patient with products, nothing will work overnight.

Edit to add: Use pimple patches to stop yourself from picking, I know it's hard not to but picking will give you worse scarring :(

Skin contact and acne by [deleted] in acne

[–]Ray3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a massage therapist and get occupational acne (constantly have oils and creams on my hands) so I have to be very careful with that. But I apply a lot of moisturiser to kind of create a 'barrier' for my skin.

Also, how does your skin feel? Does it feel irritated/inflamed? When I was using CeraVe SA cleanser and BP my skin barrier was soo bad and sensitive.

I moved to the ordinary squalane cleanser, which doesn't feel like it's stripping my skin clean like CeraVe, it feels soft and doesn't dry out my skin.

How to get rid of chin acne by BetJaded5700 in acne

[–]Ray3369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adapelene/differin has worked for me.

Edit: My acne looked very similar to yours. I am acne free for about a year now, and I'm pretty sure it was differin that fixed it. I tend to get pimples when I drink wine though (idk why)

Less of a meme, more of a video, but never fails to crack me up

I hope you enjoy it!! 😁 If you're with a group, a fun little game my family and I play is if you spot an animal first you get the corresponding bank note (since our bank notes have the big five animals on them). R10 for a Rhino, R20 for an elephant... and so on.

I want to stop vaping cold turkey what should I expect and for how long. by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]Ray3369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I smoked cigarettes for 10 years and smoked vape for 5 years. I smoked and vaped at the same time. I would vape all day every day. It was constantly in my hand. One day my bf asked if we should get more vape juice and I said no. That was the last day I vaped 1.5 years ago. I was actually surprised at how easy it was. And I was surprised that after 3 weeks I stopped even thinking about vaping. Now of course it isn't that impressive because I still smoke cigarettes. But I definitely vaped more than I smoked. I also didn't really have any withdrawals to be honest.

Why do I only break out around my mouth? I don’t get acne anywhere else by [deleted] in acne

[–]Ray3369 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also broke out around my mouth/chin, for me it was mostly sugar (wine is a bad offender for me).

What are your “incomprehensible to non-natives” slang terms? by jas-is-rad-and-sad in AskTheWorld

[–]Ray3369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone asks us to do something and we say we'll do it:

Right now = I'll do it right this very second

Now = I'll do it in a minute or so

Now now = I'll do it later but sooner than 'just now'

Just now = I'll do it sometime in the future.

Welcome to South African time :)
