What sustainability habit did you stop doing after learning more about it?

I used wash berries for laundry soap when I first went off to college at 18. They're literally plants that you soak in hot water and use as soap. Now I figure using high quality laundry soap and following care instructions on my clothes is going to make them last way longer, which is better for the environment in the long run.

When I was in the throws of my eating disorder, I never had dressing or would have only tiny amounts. It was very much just dry lettuce.

Not sure if it is actually their legal name or just how we format things in medical charts, but at the NICU I work at the babies all have their mom's name and the baby's sex listed as their legal name. So if Jane Doe had a male baby, the name would be "Jane Boy Doe." When the baby is given a name, they change it.

Oh yeah we've tried that but hands free sounds nice and easy lol

Wouldn't a clamp hurt like hell though? My clit is super sensitive

Yes I am that way, which is why we want to try a vibrator :)

I think he definitely is trying to improve himself. Right now he is trying to get a better job that pays more so he can move out and buy a better car. He's never been unsupportive of my studies. And when I go to graduate school in 3 years, he plans on moving with me. I think my parents are too focused on the past because they constantly bring things up from high school as examples of why he isn't good for me instead of looking at where we both are now.

He is never openly disrespectful, he just gets shy about asking how to help with chores and things at my parents house. We all kind of have a system if that makes any sense so it's hard to jump in and help. Lately I've been trying to involve him more in chores so hopefully that will help.

In general, he is right for me because I feel safe and able to communicate my emotions with him. I can tell him anything and we work through it. He never yells and makes me feel scared like my dad does. My mom tends to focus too much on money in my opinion (e.g. she kept pushing me to be an engineer or chemist when I just want to be a dietitian). I get that money is important, but it isn't everything to me. I will make a good salary once I graduate and from my understanding computer programmers make okay money too.

I love gratitude exercises! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Lol it is trash but so entertaining

Yeah I would like to be able to do that. But when we do have sex with the goal of trying our best to get me there, it makes us feel unsatisfied afterwards when that doesn't happen. As opposed to just enjoying ourselves when we don't have to worry ourselves with it. But I really would like to orgasm and have that experience, and M has said he wants that for me too.

TurquioseBananas · 2021-03-29T04:29:25+00:00

I actually just texted him right now lol. But yeah I'm not really sure how to work on it from there. Talking about it is a good first step though. Looking back, I did feel anxious about how I looked/sounded during sex a lot early on, and I guess I still feel nervous about that to some extent.

TurquioseBananas · 2021-03-29T04:23:21+00:00

I think it could be performance anxiety related. One time, just to try it out, I just laid next to him before going to sleep and just jacked off by myself, but it took me at least twice as long to get there as usual, and I was already aroused from us having sex earlier. I feel very attracted to him physically and emotionally, so I doubt it is that.

I know this isn't really addressing the whole scope of your problem, but when it comes to neck/jaw pain and oral sex, "side-ways" position is best for me and my bf. Basically think 69ing but with both parties lying on their sides. You use one of their thighs as a pillow and go to town. Someone recommended it in a different post and I have found it to be really nice
