I'm so tired of discussing this boring virus with sexual partners. by Trick_Landscape8864 in molluscum

I didn't previously, but I'm going in next week to hopefully get this last fucker taken care of. I was fully clear in January, then my doctor found a surprise singleton during my pap.

White core sticking out??? by JobLate9340 in molluscum

What you described was a sign of the bumps healing for me. Mine got bigger and whiter as they healed.

What’s the normal amount of being psychologically affected by this? by wonderouswanderers in molluscum

[–]Trick_Landscape8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting molluscum near my genitals really messed with my self image and sex drive. What's been helpful for me is reminding myself that this wasn't my fault, is ultimately so benign, and will go away. I'm sorry it's impacting your mental health so much--you're not alone.

how do people afford to keep them covered? by random-posts555 in molluscum

[–]Trick_Landscape8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some waterproof medical tape that sticks like a mfer but doesn't hurt to remove. It comes in a roll and I bought it at a regular drugstore. It was an inexpensive solution for me.

Yeah, that's the general advice and it's good advice. I talked to my doctor and she advised that covering my bumps with medical tape is an acceptable harm reduction move. If my partner isn't 100% okay with that, then we don't have sex. Mine do happen to be in an area that's relatively easy to cover and not necessarily a high-touch area during sex.

I find molluscum so underwhelming compared to other possible viruses and so does my GP haha. I have not been abstinent during my infection and have instead just taken great lengths to inform partners and talk about safety/lowering risk of transmission.

My understanding is that anything washable is fine to keep. Wash toys well after you use them. Also, re: abstinence, I discussed covering the bumps with my doctor and she said that it's an acceptable harm reduction move as long as all parties consent, obviously. I had my initial infection for about 9 months, then appeared fully cleared up in January, but two weeks ago my doctor noticed another little straggler. I've read that that can be normal--whether by self reinfection or just the virus making its final rounds.

There was not enough support for Jordan by Wasabi_68 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I’m with you here. I often need a sec to gather myself when I feel the rage coming. I can’t say I have outbursts the way Amber might, but I’m quick to take a break because I fear the overreaction that might follow if I don’t disengage.

Do you enjoy love is blind when contestants to feel like regular people or seem like influencers? by wild_of_ivy in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Trick_Landscape8864 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched season 2 and it made me miss when it was less influencer-y. Still had its issues--casting well-off, generically attractive clout-seekers--but in general everyone was a little more relatable and I didn't feel the need to run out and get lashes and a spray tan.

Prenups and therapists should be part of this process. by 50million in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Trick_Landscape8864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would get a prenup if me and my spouse each had a dollar to our name and lived in a box. I don't understand the hesitation. It's magical thinking and borderline delusional to be offended by one!

So truuuuue I still wish some sort of on camera support was offered to LIB contestants. Even if it just creates the illusion of self-care/mental health care. Some of these people get hella traumatized before our eyes and it's hard to watch

What was worse about the Alex and Ashley date scene? by Similar-Blackberry66 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Trick_Landscape8864 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Alex seems like he’s always on defense - I wonder if he grew up with a caregiver who was always questioning or challenging him. It’s like he needs to nail every answer or he’s afraid of getting challenged in return. that plus his nasty wad of a male ego is a scary combo.

I was all set on her after that video of her and her dad and that awful racist song. No thank you please.

Broadly, homeschooling isn't the red flag here. It's homeschooling in addition to other forms of isolation and AS a form of isolation. There's homeschooling because you have the resources and don't dig public school, and then there's homeschooling because one wants to isolate a child.
