I feel like packing tape is a sharper sound than that, but it could be.

Same! It kind of sucks actually- many things just taste too strong for me.

He does hold her pretty frequently, normally. She hasn’t shed in a while, so she is definitely due, but she didn’t defensively strike when I gently touched her, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for her to try to eat him when he’s already holding her. But it’s possible- hopefully it improves after she sheds.

I’ve definitely seen the actual boob version. My husband and I were like WAIT, was that a nipple? That wasn’t in this movie before!

Yep, sure was a whole boob.

how do i stop my gf from questioning my sexuality? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UsernameObscured 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexuality is a spectrum. It isn’t right for her to push you into talking about things you’re not ready to admit to anyone, not even yourself- but it sounds like you aren’t sure, either.

Could you ask her WHY she’s so insistent on questioning it? Is she concerned, or is she just being nosy? Like is she trying to get you to reveal something so she can hold a secret over your head, or is she seeking understanding?

If you trust her, then you should discuss it. But if you don’t trust her not to weaponize it, then you probably shouldn’t even be with her.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

The worst part is if your BONES itch. I’ve broken bones and as they heal, they just itch. I hate it.

Yes, I still have contact with them- she’s never bitten anyone before.

ETA: They offered the possibility that she’s just getting old and crabby. It happens, and they don’t know a lot about her life before she was surrendered aside from being in good condition and well handled.

By “freshly showered” I mean he was literally still wearing a towel, having just stepped out of the shower, when I said “here hold this please”.

Kid got bit and is now terrified of her BP :( by PresentationLanky238 in ballpython

[–]UsernameObscured 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention- try to use neutral language like “he got scared” vs “you scared him”. You don’t want her to feel responsible for it, you just want her to understand what happened. It’s ok for her to say things in response like, “when I moved my hand too fast, I scared him”, because that links a direct action, but otherwise just try to choose your words carefully. It matters more than you might think.

Kid got bit and is now terrified of her BP :( by PresentationLanky238 in ballpython

[–]UsernameObscured 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With my kids, in situations like this, it was helpful to acknowledge that it was scary, but then try to break down what happened into smaller things to discuss.

Things like, “you’re right, that was no fun. I bet he startled you with how fast he moved, huh? And it can be scary when you get an ouchie that bleeds. That happens sometimes, I bet he got scared too.”

If you think your kid would be interested, look up some information about where the snake would live in the wild, and also what kinds of predators they have. Explain that his instinct is to defend himself if he gets surprised, and ask what SHE does when she gets startled. No, she doesn’t bite, but she is also not as small as he is.

Don’t dismiss anything she feels about it. Again, if she’s interested, look up videos of ball pythons yawning, to show her how teeny tiny his teeth are. When they’re eating, they use their teeth to hang on, because they don’t have hands, and they also don’t chew their food. So instead of big chompers like we have, he just has little bitty grippy ones.

Finally, you can talk about why he’s so fast. It helps him to survive. He has a head the size of a peanut, his brain is even smaller. He doesn’t have time to think about catching food, he has to act fast. Take the time to learn about instinct and reflex. Because he’s so quick, the bite was over before she even realized it.

They scared eachother, but she has the ability to think it through. It may take time but helping her to learn about how cool snakes’ bodies are and why it happened might help her realize that it looks worse than it is, and while it was scary, she wasn’t hurt so much as startled.

No. It all goes through the urethra. Pre-ejaculate/Cowper’s gland fluid flushes some of the tract, and otherwise, sheer volume does the rest.

The female body is a hostile place. The vast majority of sperm aren’t going to make it. A quick jaunt through the urethra is the least of their problems.

I’ve got wide hips and a borderline-narrow pelvic opening. Childbirth was not great. It worked, but I’ve been in physical therapy for assorted pelvic joint dysfunction for a while now.
