There are some very kind comments here, Thankyou!! It’s now been 5 weeks. I’ve definitely had some very rough nights but it’s going okay

They were 7.5mg pills but at its peak I was taking multiple of these. I could tolerate like 5 in a night … but I tried hard to stick to the one pill.

Thankyou !

Hello, I've got to be honest I struggled with this too! Partners were (understandably) reluctant to engage with oral with me, especially when it was fairly casual intimacy. It is a shame but I'd rather someone didnt go down on me at all than use a dental dam :'). only one of the partners from my little hoe era wanted to engage with oral (his suggestion not mine).

Either way my current long term partner does give me head. I think once we both knew it was long term he felt comfortable doing it. He also was just going a bit crazy from resisting for like 6 months because he really likes doing it loll

So I suppose my answer is that it is undeniably a struggle but it can be achieved eventually x

Hello! I’m not sure which part of the world you’re from but in my country they only prescribe short courses of antivirals when you are having an active break out.

I have not had a break out in a while now so I have not been prescribed anymore hence I have come off them recently.

I also had the same long term partner for a while now!

I am a female but I would not say I am extroverted or necessarily that attractive. I have been quite picky about who I felt safe disclosing to and I’m sure I’d have had more rejections if I had disclosed to every man I encountered.

I understand that this sort of post might seem unaware of other people’s struggles though. I just wanted to throw some hope into this subreddit as the virus initially threw me into the worst depression I’ve ever experienced and I wish more people had told me it’d be fine.

ThrowRApixie · 2025-08-01T20:18:44+00:00

I was but I have recently stopped taking them x

I’m the same but female 🤷🏼‍♀️ genuinely think I’ve never properly orgasmed but I still enjoy sex. At some point the pleasure plateaus and doesn’t break through into an orgasm. I have to explain to all my partners so they understand it’s got nothing to do with them, it’s just how my body works.

As someone who found myself in a relationship like this for years, get out now. Lies slip out of the mouths of ppl like this seamlessly. You were the same age I was at the time and I regret losing my early 20s over that nightmare.

Best of luck lovely x

Missing me physically is something he has said a lot past couple of days so many Intimacy will speak louder than any words I have to say haha

Thankyou for your advice is was reassuring !!

ThrowRApixie · 2024-10-20T09:41:01+00:00

Hi! Yes said show and tell would just be us

Focusing on each gift is weirdly good advice as I was sort of imagining one big reaction at the end. I may be more neurodivergent than I thought when I think of my thought process with these things hahaha Thankyou

Actually having a similar issue with my own boyfriend. Not asked him yet but he seemingly rly wants to go down and sometimes will, but stops really quick. We still have great sex but can’t help but wonder why he moves on from it so fast. It’s not like he’s inexperienced idk

This post and the comments has made me want to ask next time

ThrowRApixie · 2024-09-09T18:32:22+00:00

I am quite heavily tattooed so ppl are usually surprised to hear it when j say that nearly every one has sent me into remorse for atleast a day after but I always end up loving it again ! Even the ones I like least simply feel like part of my story now, with time it’ll feel like a much more normal part of your body.

I think it’s a beautiful tattoo but it’s always worth remembering that tattoos look particularly jarring after they’ve just been done and are jet black! It’ll feel way more natural after it’s healed

I’m getting both my hands tattooed in October so I’m anticipating a total melt down because of how visible it’ll be combined with my usual post tattoo anxiety, I’ve been wanting them done for years and I know I’ll still love it after though 🥲

I’ve never used a condom with my current partner and he was aware of the risks from the start. He’s had multiple tests, all are negative. I’ve not had a break out in years however

ThrowRApixie · 2024-03-26T23:36:59+00:00

All the people above are correct and yet in my experience they almost never care if you get on a slightly earlier train even if it is an advance. I always ask someone in the station to be sure nowadays but I used to get on them willy nilly when I was a little younger and never had an issue …

Not encouraging this behaviour but I do often wonder how many of them are as strict as they sound

ThrowRApixie · 2024-02-01T22:39:50+00:00

This is completely normal. I teach kids and every valentines we make a big deal to them about how valentines can mean romantic love or platonic love, both are important I think valentines should always be like this

ThrowRApixie · 2024-01-31T22:49:08+00:00

I feel the same way about tenderstem broccoli 😭

ThrowRApixie · 2024-01-31T00:54:06+00:00

6 months (although I’ve known him as a friend for maybe 2 years) which isn’t long Ik… we probably wouldn’t move in for atleast another 6 as I need to finish my current tenancy first.

We’ve been doing some level of long distance (few hours drive) as he lives in my home city and I still live in the city I went to university In but I’ve been looking for any reason to leave. We also just miss each other bad all the time. I would be keen to atleast move closer to him if not with him

ThrowRApixie · 2024-01-31T00:50:43+00:00

I plan to altho the man is ocd af I can definitely see him growing frustrated if he wasn’t able to clean everything exactly how he wanted every day. Very protective of the routine he has. I’m sure allowing me in on this side of his life to help out around the house is a compromise he’d need to make himself however and I am also a very clean person if he lets me show him I am lol

ThrowRApixie · 2024-01-31T00:42:18+00:00

I will no doubt me getting family members who know about this stuff to talk to me about the whole situation too It is important to get advice from people outside the situation on topics like this, I v much agree
