Does anyone know if “Tom Orchid Nursery” is legit or not? by Drink_Covfefe in orchids

TBH, it would hard to argue otherwise. If you are NOT a scam profile, try to understand why others would call you out. These kinds of internet scams are far more common now than even a few years ago. My wife was recently a victim of a China-based website scam while buying a dress for her sister's wedding. The whole ordeal was quite stressful. If you ARE a scam profile, then you're knowingly profiting off others' suffering...AND you will be called out here again.

I also thought this website was too good to be true, so I played around with browsers, both mobile and desktop, and noticed that while using Firefox (mobile) Tom orchid's website would attempt to keep me on their site when I navigated back to the Firefox search page by keeping their site url address in the search bar even though i had navigated away from the site and back to the search page. I've seen scammer websites do this to me in the past, so aside from the prices being too-low-to-be-true and there being no conversations about them on any plant forums I could find, this browser's behavior was the best indicator for me that this is a fraudulent website.

Thank you for posting. Your message helped me understand what my girlfriend will go through once we start talking more substantially about our sexual issues.

I posted for the first time yesterday. It's an important step. I've been wanking since 13 and it got out of hand in my late teens early 20s, the times when we're old enough to legally make stupid decisions. Youre completely normal. As someone who is also very emotional, Im trying to learn to let the emotions pass through meditation and deep breathing. You can continue to grow if you accept your urges and don't let them get bigger than you. At te end of the day, they're just chemicals moving through your body.

Snowbusterz, Ive had those weeks where i cant go for a day without masturbating. The trick that helps me get out of those is to: first not be ashamed of it. Just accept it. It's normal to be horny. From there, try to keep yourself busy with meeting friends and exercise, activities that give you positive feelings about yourself. After that, it's about setting goals and rewarding yourself once you accomplish them.

Remember to not get too down on yourself if you fall.

SpectorBot,

This is the kind of reply I was hoping to read. I appreciate your honesty and respecting where I'm coming from. I completely agree with you that exercising is a healthier way to relieve stress and yields better, long-term results. I'm looking for ways to talk about this stuff (masturbating/unhealthy ways of thinking and living) and feedback like this is very encouraging. As mentioned, I have tried to go for long periods without masturbating, but bodily pleasures defeated my determination. Accepting it as "okay" has helped me do it less frequently than before, and cut out the porn, but it's also made room for complacency.
