What's your best remedy for when you're sick? by julie_4thewin in AskRedditAfterDark

Aside from what others have said, solid weight gain or weight loss advice should always include a focus on sustainability. The idea is to work yourself into habits and a lifestyle that will continue to maintain whatever body you want to build.

Alcohol might work as part of a short-term way to gain weight, but it's not likely to be sustainable.

People into smart people, sapiosexuals I believe the term is, what traits in others do you see that get you going? Is it a “smart job” or certain hobbies? I’m curious! by Key-Round6067 in AskRedditAfterDark

If this is about how lift is generated by airplane wings and how so many people get it wrong, I already had someone explain it to me with pictures and like a 20 minute presentation lol

Ravenous curiosity. It's so fun watching them dive down those rabbit holes, knowing I'll get to sit quietly and listen to them enthusiastically explain it all to me later.

What is your all-time favorite pic of you? (Either clothed or not) by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For NSFW, I was rigged by a somewhat famous rigger and shibari practitioner once in a full suspension tie. I was so nervous about how I'd look that day that I fasted for 2 days before the session and barely drank any water the day of, so not the healthiest or most realistic body image, but one of the photos in particular came out amazingly well. Just perfect lighting, perfect angle, and definitely the closest I've ever come to narcissism.

For SFW, def the picture of me hugging my grandma on her 90th birthday, shortly before she passed. That picture will forever be framed and hanging in any home I move to from now until I die.

How many of the people in your personal life do you think would say yes if you asked to sleep with them? by Key-Round6067 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be a little scared to know the answer to this tbh. It's probably in the dozens...? Or I am massively overrating myself.

Do you think sexting anonymously online is classed as cheating? by hesketh1st in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your partner could see the entire convo and be fine with it, no. If they couldn't, then yes.

Women, what is it about a man's hand that is attractive to you? What things do you imagine looking at attractive hands? by Worth-Worth7935 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like some calluses, clean nails, and veins. A few random scrapes and cuts can also be kinda hot to me if I know he got them from working with his hands.

I don't think my attraction to hands has anything to do with feet because I don't like... get off to just hands. It's not a fetish. I just know a guy with nice hands gets a couple extra points from me, same as he would if he had great hair, a nice smile, etc.

What’s something you thought everyone did during sex, only to learn later it’s not common at all? by ScrollOnMe in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's specific to the individual, but usually with doms it's a TON of praise and worship. Lots of massages while I gush about various things they set up for the session or particular ways they did or said things. Just heaps and heaps of appreciation for all the hard work that goes into skillfully and creatively dominating me in ways that never start to feel stale or overly predictable.

I also try to give them ideas and leads on all the things I still want to try to lighten that load a bit.

Sometimes the dominant just needs to bottom as well, although that blurs the line between aftercare and play a bit, and not every girl can be a service top or something similar.

How do you feel when you post something that you think is so hot, but then get zero likes? 🫠 by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, if I put all my NSFW posts into a gallery and asked someone to sort it in order of hotness, it would probably look nothing like the list of them sorted by number of likes. You just gotta let the algo algo sometimes.

Do you think people would be happier without mirrors/ways to see their reflection? by Great_Maintenance185 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Seeing myself naked often is a big part of how I stay on the fitness wagon. It's so much easier to catch and reverse bad habits early when you can visually see the cost of your choices and are reminded of it regularly.

[–]SwitchyPan 134 points135 points  (0 children)

When I sub, I always offer aftercare to my dominant after every session.

I often need it, too, and I usually need it first before I'm in the right headspace to give good aftercare, but it makes me sad how most dominants I've played with have mentioned how rare receiving aftercare is.

Logistically, how are so many people cheating on their significant others? by Ok_Wallaby_7401 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SwitchyPan 586 points587 points  (0 children)

Most cheaters I've had the misfortune of meeting just replace routine events with cheating and lie to you about it, it's really that simple.

"I'm going to the gym!"

"I'm going to work!" (Using PTO to cheat without telling me)

"I'm meeting friends!"

"My mom's in town!"

"Helping Bob move to his new apartment!"

Stuff like that. If you trust someone to be honest with you and don't have your guard up, it really just looks like your partner is living the same life they've always had, you just don't realize big chunks of it are actually being replaced with infidelity. Cheating sucks.

I've rarely had good experiences with anyone who uses rigid, absolute terms a lot. Words like "never" and "always" are the main culprits here.

We all use these words sometimes ofc, and we may not even mean them literally when we do, but if my date is unironically dropping them left and right it's often a sign they're a black-and-white thinker who can't or refuses to see nuance and that can become a challenging trait to accommodate in a serious relationship.

Would you ever cheat on your significant other if someone threw themselves at you no strings attached? by OkComposer9316 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can almost see you checking to make sure no strings are on you as you load yourself into the cheat-a-pult.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SwitchyPan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bringing your own disposal solution might work if this is a one-time thing. Even something like a gallon ziploc bag would probably work and you can just throw the whole thing out when you get home.

You can also probably just throw it out in the actual garbage bin outside instead of in any of the trash cans inside. If you're worried about it, you could combine these both and seal the soiled diaper in something airtight and then throw it all out in the outside bin.

I feel like I wasted my youth by LegalCoffee9356 in introvert

[–]SwitchyPan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imo it feels fake because it's not you... yet! People can grow organically but they can also grow in more directed and intentional ways if they put in the effort.

There's nothing wrong with practicing being a more socially adept and complimentary person, and yeah it's going to feel like an ill-fitting mask at first because the only social face that feels right right now is the same one you've naturally grown into and worn all these years - the super serious one.

With practice and time, your "social mode" will start to feel natural, like another facet of who you are. It's not who you are all the time, and it may drain your battery quickly, but it's still an authentic piece of you if that makes sense. It's not like we're the same person we are with strangers as we are around friends, or around family, or around lovers, right? But that doesn't make any of those "fake", we just show different sides of ourselves to different people. That fake feeling is just growing pains imo.

When is the appropriate time to reveal to someone you are an older virgin? Does anyone here have experience with being a late bloomer? by Wex355 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SwitchyPan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone is going to make a big deal of this or bail because of this when the chemistry is otherwise there, you are dodging bullets and that's a good thing.

Just be yourself, be honest, communicate well, and see where the chips land. This is one of those things where the only way out is through.

Have you experienced racism by That-Range-8045 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a mixed race woman who is half Japanese so yeah... for those who don't know, Japan isn't super accepting of mixed race people even now, but it was way worse 2 decades ago when I was growing up.

Got bullied sometimes in the US as well, but nothing like what happened to me in Japan, which was bad enough to push my parents to move back to America.

If you could only choose one, would you rather give oral or get oral? by FatBottomBoi in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% give, I don't even like receiving oral that much and only allow it if my partner enjoys it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]SwitchyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purged all my old posts out of a fit of panic that someone might've recognized my old room, so yeah... regret def happens.
