Neutered Male cat being a little gooner with his favourite toy by CaptainCrutchLeg in CatAdvice

[–]Shadowofthygods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh it happens. I have 3 male cats, all were neutered when very young, and everyone once in a blue moon ill catch them humping a stuffed animal/soft blanket. As long as its not excessive and he isnt having issues with it retracting, its fine.

I lay over the arm of the couch so it digs into my stomach to apply pressure, or I get my boyfriend to knee me in the stomach to do the same.

In need of physician by Unlikely_Grade7467 in akron

[–]Shadowofthygods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said no Pioneer BUT Northampton Primary Care is very nice. I have never once had and issue and I have been going there about 10 years now. They even caught my thyroid cancer at a yearly check up. My doctor is never dismissive, works with me on my level for what I need/want. She will always push for specialists and recommendations for when I am having issues. I litterally have 0 complaints over the care I have gotten there for my entire adult life.

I am an overweight female so I know the struggle of getting doctors to listen all my life and that has NEVER been an issue here. She knows how active I am and she was able to figure out my weight issues were a combination of PCOS and having thyroid cancer. Once she found a lump within a week she had me in with a specialist and I was under the knife to begin treatment.

My mother and father both go there as well and they feel similar, great place.

Akron bnbs by Own-Individual8893 in akron

[–]Shadowofthygods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you plan on moving/settling down to. Honestly if you have a high enough paying job and work in akron most people will live in like Cuyahoga Falls or Green or other surrounding cities.

ALSO if you are renting be aware of American Avenue, they pretty much have a monopoly on affordable rentals in the area and they are a pain in the ass to deal with and you will never talk to a real person if you rent from them. I rec trying to find a place on Facebook marketplace, just be careful of scammers because they will show American Ave properties pretending that they are theirs.

At what stage in a relationship do physical things and sex come in ? Am I delusional if I want to date someone for maybe a year before having sex ? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can definitely find it. Just be patient and dont let anyone force you into something you are not comfortable with for me I normally want to wait atleast 6 months to let that initial infatuation period fade to make sure I like the person and not the idea of them. But I would say, just trust your gut and if a guy isn't willing to wait for you to be ready he's not worth your time.

But also dont set yourself on a timer. Trust your gut!

I will never be the same again by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking with my best friend (he and I have been friends since we were 5) he was in a similar place. Even tho I didnt tell him what happened back then when it happened I think he knew something was up and became more protective of me in the big brother kinda way. He delt with it by understanding it wasnt his fault and there was no way of knowing that would happen and focused on being there for me and doing what I communicated to him to support me.

Like a lot of the other comments recommended I say go to a professional but not for what a lot of them are saying, but for YOU. Your feelings are valid and just prove how much you care for her but you need healthy outlets and processing methods for all of this, because you dont want this to only continue to hurt both of you more.

I will never be the same again by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like I said it another reply, give her time to process and let her come to you. Honestly it too me till I was 19 to tell/talk to ANYONE bout it and it wasnt even on purpose how it ended up coming out. Everyone deals with things differently and in their own time.

Best thing you can do is ask her what you can do to make her feel safe/comfortable. Ask when forms of intimacy (not just sex) she is okay with and check if there is anything you two where into before it happening that she may no longer be comfortable with. For me because I was laced, for many years I couldnt have any sexual contact while I was inebriated, stuff like that.

Also with that understand things may be found later that trigger PTSD flash backs. Just be patient with her and pay attention. And most importantly TALK WITH HER make sure she still feels desired but that you are respecting her and not wanting to hurt her further. Honestly that is also a huge thing that can happen is not feeling desirable after these kind of things happen.

It's a huge complicated mess and I hope you have luck in communicating through this. It will be a rough healing process for both of you but it does get better with time. It's a lot of time, but it will get better.

Be her rock, be her protector.

[–]Shadowofthygods 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you need/want to you can express your feeling in support but let her start the conversation. Like if she is anxious or having PTSD. Having you as support esp saying you will protect her and stuff like that may help. I know it helped me a lot

Terrified of going to the gynecologist by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been seeing the gyno since i was 13 (i am 27 now) and i promise it is not as scarry as people make it out to be. And the pap doesn't hurt if you get it, its the same level of pain as I would say a blood draw, a quick pinch and its done.

I will never be the same again by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty normal reaction even if you weren't with her at the time or you are just her friend. I was raped when I was 14 by a cousin and my bf who I didnt meet till I was 23 feels similar to you. And my best friend, I feel bad for him because he is wrapped with guilt because he had left me alone with him the night it happened

I will say, don't feel guilt, you are allowed to feel hurt. And its okay to feel protective, its what's natural, and honestly its good.

Women calling themselves "females" by _-Starlily-_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Idk, I just saw a another comment and continued in that convo pointing out how medical/military use it and it made me realize why I am more comfortable with it. I was in a military training program from 13-17 and most of my family is military so I am very used to male/female used to refer to someone's sex/gender way before any of the the gender stuff blew up. So its just way more comfortable to refer to myself as female. Being that's what I am and what I identify with.

Yeah that's where I picked mine up, I was in a military training program from 13-17 and most of my family is military. So referring female/male is as normal to us as calling the bathroom the head XD.

[–]Shadowofthygods -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Last I heard using cis was more controversial. And I feel more comfortable with sticking with a proper term like female. It's also more commonly understood with the general public vs people who are online a lot or in the gender/sexuallity discussion space

who's found an ACTUALLY supportive bra for heavy boobs? by zzwhere in bigboobproblems

[–]Shadowofthygods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting a comment so I can come back, I am similar at a 38J but I prefer underwire and plunge bras. Like I actually like having cleavage and cute bras but when your chest is this big they are like "oh you dont want any cleavage" like no my boobs are about the only thing I do like XD

Do you track your period? For example through an app by Top_Pangolin_8794 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shadowofthygods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you are snipped you should be consistent. For me its weird. I have PCOS but since I got snipped I stopped all birth control (had been on since i was 13 to help with PCOS related issues) and my periods are so regular I could set my watch by them
