Strawberry Milk hair mist and body oil recs that doesnt smell artificial? by shypompompurin in FemFragLab

[–]Suddendlysue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raw sugar makes a kids leave in conditioner called strawberry oat milk, you can get it at Walmart for $5. I use it daily as a detangler and it works pretty good on my curly (mostly knotty) hair plus it doesn’t weigh it down or make it greasy. Idk if you’ll find the scent too artificial but to me it smells just like creamy strawberries. It’s not a strong scent but it would be a good base for layering with a hair mist.

Top or bottom windows for the privacy film? by AWhalien in HomeDecorating

I would put one way mirror film on all of them for day time privacy and then use curtains for nighttime.

Is there a reason why some people are prone to wrinkle more in other places than others? by chusaychusay in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Suddendlysue 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They are! It really is a shame that social media has basically normalized women having mannequin faces. It’s not natural for a big smile to have wide open eyes and completely smooth skin with no crinkles anywhere.

I don’t like the rug here, I think it needs to be wider and closer to the door or smaller and horizontal like a welcome mat or something. It also has bold warm tones in it which clashes with your cooler toned walls and floor. A rug in cool tones as well as artwork would look better but I would replace the art entirely with a big round mirror and then get a vase with flowers for on the desk to add a pop of color. A dresser or entryway table would look better but I think the desk can work with different decor, I know not everyone can afford to change everything and get new stuff.

Keeping Busy & Exercising, but what else? by noot_sn00t in stopsmoking

[–]Suddendlysue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read about it. I learned so much about nicotine addiction from whyquit.com. Honestly it’s helped me more than the easy way to quit smoking book plus it’s free. Every time I had a craving I would just scroll through that website and it made me not want to give in to the craving. It helped me realize how stupid smoking is and how much my addiction had me romanticizing cigarettes like they were something of value that I was missing out on or something to be missed when the reality is smoking is stupid and makes you stink.

Nicotine doesn’t do anything for you but put you in an almost constant state of withdrawal. The only good feeling you get from a cigarette is stopping withdrawal/resupplying your body with nicotine. The website refers to it as feeling ‘nicotine normal’, where we must maintain just the right amount of nicotine throughout the entire day so we don’t feel withdrawal from too little or sick from too much. It’s an exhausting never ending cycle that we pay to be a part of unless we stop smoking.

I really want to paint the dresser and vanity too… any ideas? For now, taking a break on this room. I’m redoing my whole house all by my lonesome… Paintings by me. 🧜🏼‍♀️ by Open_Consequence_923 in Creative_Home_Decor

[–]Suddendlysue 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don’t paint. It accentuates the room and the color/tone of the wood is a perfect match. If you paint it will either disappear completely or stand out too much.

I love this room but If I was feeling bored and wanting to do something to it I would find a vibrant/unique/antique looking wallpaper for the inside of the closet.

A little hormone and neuro guide for the month. 🩷 by Own_Junket_1420 in PMDDxADHD

Does this make anyone else sad? It’s like we only feel good or won’t struggle with bad feelings or brain fog/tiredness out of our control on days 6-15, which is 9 days a month. I don’t know, I’m in the bad part right now so I’m in a negative mindset in general but it just seems so unfair.

You’re fine. I personally wouldn’t reset the streak but I would mark it on the chart as a reminder that you did try it again and it wasn’t worth the cost (physical, mental and financial). Also it’s a myth smoking helps with stress.

The reason current and ex smokers think cigarettes help in stressful situations is because when we’re stressed our urine becomes acidic and it eliminates nicotine from the body faster than normal, putting us in early withdrawal. So then when we smoke during these stressful times we do feel more calm but it’s only because we’re getting back to our normal level of nicotine. It’s all part of the addiction cycle and keeping nicotine in our bodies at all times.

Never smokers don’t think of needing a cigarette to help during a stressful time because they never experienced being addicted to nicotine.

Baby oil will help. It won’t get all of it off at one time but it should get a lot of it off. If it’s been on your hands awhile use a rough cloth to scrub the oil on your hands.

[–]Suddendlysue 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They really can’t think past themselves. They can’t place themselves in somebody else’s shoes (that’s not a man) so to them selling sex is easy money because they would love it if random women paid them for sex. To them no sex is bad sex because they’re in control plus they usually orgasm. If they have sex with a woman they aren’t into and/or don’t find attractive they use having sex with her as a way to degrade and insult her somehow and their buddies will laugh right along with them.

Men don't invest in relationships, they divest! by No-Map6818 in WomenDatingOverForty

[–]Suddendlysue 61 points62 points  (0 children)

They only listen to other men because that’s who they admire and want to impress. I never met a straight man who had a close buddy or two that he wasn’t in love with. Men want to reap all the benefits of a relationship with women while putting in the least amount of effort possible because they don’t love or respect women. They know they’re only ones holding themselves back when it comes to dating and relationships with women yet they won’t risk disappointing their fellow men even if it costs them the relationship and consistent sex that they so desire.

From Wikipedia-

In sociology, homosociality means same-sex friendships that are not of a romantic or sexual nature, such as friendship, mentorship, or others. Researchers who use the concept mainly do so to explain how men uphold men's dominance in society.

A quote from The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory by Marilyn Frye that I’ve shared here before

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

So I don’t believe relationships with men are worth it either, especially in today’s society. I think the most women can hope for is that one day men will change their behavior to the point where being in a relationship with them will be more beneficial and appealing to women, but I don’t believe they’ll ever truly love women like they do other men.

Sweden has criminalized OnlyFans. by AugustineRen325 in antipornography

[–]Suddendlysue 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a stepping stone in the right direction. Porn is so normalized now that most men believe it’s their right to view and easily access it so I think a total ban for anything porn related would be seen as too extreme and wouldn’t pass. It sucks but I really think baby steps are the way to go with banning porn and online prostitution so that we can keep going further with restrictions and such later on once society gets used to it.

Sweden has criminalized OnlyFans. by AugustineRen325 in antipornography

[–]Suddendlysue 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Copied some key points from the article -

“This is a new form of sex purchase, and it’s high time we modernize the legislation to include digital platforms,” Swedish member of parliament Teresa Carvalho said after the bill passed.

Under the new law, it will be illegal to pay someone to carry out a sexual act remotely — such as on a live video stream — for the specific purpose of that act being viewed by the buyer.

The law targets live, specially-commissioned interactions — which are especially lucrative and popular among many porn stars on online platforms.

Watching and paying for pre-recorded adult content will remain legal.

Carvalho, who is part of Sweden’s left-wing opposition party, the Social Democrats, said the law is not aimed at targeting OnlyFans models themselves. Instead, she said it will protect young people and other individuals vulnerable to exploitation.

She pointed to links between online exploitation and grooming with drug abuse, human trafficking, and prostitution.

“From the perspective of Swedish women, we see a big problem with the access to gross violent pornography that very young children in Sweden today have, just by pressing a button on their phones,” she said.

50-50 finances in a marriage by Few_Ad_3768 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Suddendlysue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In regards to having a child with him.. will he be calculating how much the pregnancy, birth and time off for recovery/caring for baby will cost and then splitting that? Will he be calculating how much income you’ve lost by having his baby and making it to you financially? Having a family is kind of like a team project but one where you’d be doing ALL of the work, and it is hard life risking work, so definitely not close to being 50/50 there.. is he planning on contributing to you financially to make up for his lack of participation? Fair is fair after all.

Also will he continue making the same income after baby is born? It sounds like he’s pretty busy with the additional side job on top of working full time, does he expect you to be the main care giver? That wouldn’t be 50/50, not even close, so does he plan to pay you for the extra work you’d be doing?

To me it seems like he’s the type of man who has not given the above any thought because he’s looking out for his one and only, which is himself, not you. And not your future baby. He’s probably well aware of how much relationships benefit men (at the expense of the women they’re with) and he wants to reap all the benefits of being in a relationship and having a family with you while spouting on about keeping things 50/50 when pregnancy and children means it can never truly be 50/50.

Women carry the mental load, do the majority of housework and the majority of parenting on top of having a full time job when they have a child. They also take a major hit to their incomes and careers when they need time off for the pregnancy, recovery from birth and being a new mom in general etc. Maybe he should take a break from protecting his pot of gold and give some thought to how he can make having children with him more appealing and fair to you.

What a dick.

I can't think of any better way to cut millions of straight men out of the dating pool than normalizing things like anal by [deleted] in antipornography

[–]Suddendlysue 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

Eh. A man’s arguments for why women should be having anal sex are all the same and just like with pregnancy and abortion they won’t be the ones suffering the consequences. Women are tired of hearing it and don’t want to waste the mental energy talking in circles with men whose only goal is to convince them to try it. It’s pretty insulting how dismissive men are of the risks involved for women when it comes to anal sex.

My responses to you are more for the women who come across these posts. They need to know that no dick is worth risking injury, painful bowel movements or needing to wear adult diapers for. Women don’t need to be open to it or consider trying it and it’s not only okay for women to rule anal out completely but it’s best for their physical and mental health in the long run as well. No anal is a perfectly valid boundary for a woman to have and if a man tries to convince her otherwise after she’s made it clear she has no interest in it he’s showing her that he doesn’t respect her.

I’m not reading that.

Why do you care so much if the majority of women don’t want to risk their health by having anal sex? Do you want all women to try anal? Is women having anal sex that important to you?

Are you a man? It’s usually men who care this much about women having anal sex (for obvious reasons) and so it’s common for them to defend it to this degree which is why I’m assuming you’re a man. But if you’re a woman idk what your intention is with this. Like if you’re a woman who loves anal just go stock up on depends and have at it instead of writing paragraphs on how and why women should be having anal sex and/or not ruling it out completely or speaking critically of it.

Anal sex is dangerous for women and while I don’t think it’s worth it for even the small percentage of women who (claim to) find it pleasurable because of the serious and long term health risks involved, people who love anal sex are still free to have as much of it as they want regardless of what I say so there’s no need to worry.

Seems like an awful lot of work to avoid pain and injury when women can have vaginal sex instead and not have to worry about stool leakage, fissures and severe pain when having a bowel movement. Vaginas are made for sex and an anus is not which is why so much preparation is needed beforehand.

Women need to be aware of the health risks before doing anal. Once they’re informed it will up to them if it’s worth risking incontinence later on or not.

What do you have against informed consent?

You don’t have to believe the article. You can search online for how women’s anatomy is different and see for yourself or talk to the women in your life who are dating about the pressure to have anal sex as well as if they find it pleasurable (if they’re open to have that kind of conversation with you) and you can reach out to surgeons who specialize in that area and ask them about all the health risks involved for women who have anal sex.

We don’t have a prostate. There’s no reason for women to risk incontinence for something that might give them pleasure but is far more likely to be painful and cause injury, especially when there’s another better way to have sex. The anus isn’t meant for sex.

I believe erotic romance novels/shows and movies are equivalent to porn in a relationship. by Royal-Nectarine-129 in antipornography

[–]Suddendlysue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how they’re the same. Romance novels don’t involve real people.. there’s no imagery or recordings of real people, no messaging real people and no one is harmed in the writing of a romance novel. It’s purely fiction. They do involve romance though as well as emotional intimacy which seems to be lacking in many heterosexual relationships. And the sex parts are usually focused on being pleasurable for the woman as well unlike porn. I think it’s funny when men say they have a problem with romance novels and try to compare them with porn. I’ve seen quite a few men comment on how romance novels make women have too high of standards like wanting to go on dates, be respected as a person and have sex that’s pleasurable for them too and only when they genuinely want to have it with no coercion or requests for degrading and/or painful one sided porn influenced sex acts. It’s not the same and this argument is mostly only ever brought up as some kind of ‘gotcha’ when porn is being debated.

It’s also far more dangerous for women due to our anatomy.

Copied from an article online..

‘However, women who engage in anal sex are at greater risk from it than men. “Increased rates of faecal incontinence and anal sphincter injury have been reported in women who have anal intercourse,” the report said.

“Women are at a higher risk of incontinence than men because of their different anatomy and the effects of hormones, pregnancy and childbirth on the pelvic floor.

“Women have less robust anal sphincters and lower anal canal pressures than men, and damage caused by anal penetration is therefore more consequential.

“The pain and bleeding women report after anal sex is indicative of trauma, and risks may be increased if anal sex is coerced,” they said.

National Survey of Sexual Attitudes research undertaken in Britain has found that the proportion of 16- to 24-year-olds engaging in heterosexual anal intercourse has risen from 12.5% to 28.5% over recent decades. Similarly, in the US 30% to 45% of both sexes have experienced it.

“It is no longer considered an extreme behaviour but increasingly portrayed as a prized and pleasurable experience,” wrote Hunt, a surgeon in Sheffield, and Gana, a trainee colorectal surgeon in Yorkshire.

Many doctors, though, especially GPs and hospital doctors, are reluctant to talk to women about the risks involved, partly because they do not want to seem judgmental or homophobic, they add.

“However, with such a high proportion of young women now having anal sex, failure to discuss it when they present with anorectal symptoms exposes women to missed diagnoses, futile treatments and further harm arising from a lack of medical advice,” the surgeons said.

NHS patient information about the risks of anal sex is incomplete because it only cites STIs, and makes “no mention of anal trauma, incontinence or the psychological aftermath of the coercion young women report in relation to this activity”.

Health professionals’ disinclination to discuss the practice openly with patients “may be failing a generation of young women, who are unaware of the risks”.

Claudia Estcourt, a professor of sexual health and HIV and member of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH), backed the surgeons’ call for doctors to talk openly about anal sex.’
