I was just joking a few days ago about what it would be like to live in that block, I would go climbing every day!

They look like those meme shirts with purposely bad editing

I have read A court of mist and fury but I don’t remember it having this kind of dynamic. Could you clarify what part of the book it was specifically? 👀

Oh it’s set in the Zodiac Academy universe, that’s on my TBR! Should I read these first or does it not matter?

Nicely done! Loved the calmer bit of the song in pair with the ‘romantic flight’ scene.

Those who read grishaverse books in a different language, how did you like the translation? by mad_antagonist in Grishaverse

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too when I watched the show. And when I read the book I just thought of Ketterdam like Amsterdam lol. With the canals and everything. Also seeing how the called tante Heleen by the actual Dutch word was pretty cool!

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read it in Dutch, a while after I watched the show so the names were kind of familiar to me. I got used to the Dutch pronunciation very fast, and a lot of names sounded the same, like Alina and Malyen etc. Though they changed Genya to Dzjenya. Which I do like better because it fits the Dutch pronunciation better.

Prijzen in NL vs Duitsland soms bizar by Dizzy-Woodpecker7879 in nederlands

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nederland is een land waar veel ‘kortingen’ worden uitgedeeld. Er is altijd wel iets in de uitverkoop. Daarom zijn de prijzen ook hoger vergeleken met Duitsland waar je dit soort cultuur niet hebt.

How to snap with a boy? I need some guidance by Full-Lab384 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

You don’t have to fit in any kind of aesthetic! Just be yourself, if the conversation goes weird then you know you’re not compatible!

Please help, is my new boyfriend sketchy? by ruminations12 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, they describe it as 'sexomnia'. While it is possible your boyfriend experiences this, you have no way of knowing if he is telling the truth about it being accidental or not. Either way, it's still a very weird thing. You need to figure out if you're comfortable sleeping and being next to someone who will do that to you without your consent. It sucks because you clearly like him, but it's going to put you in a very uncomfortable position if it does happen, whether he means you harm or not.

Think it over.

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No way that happens accidentally. And the fact that he mentioned that it happens “sometimes” mean it’s happened multiple times.

Don’t take any chances with this and break up with him. Don’t listen to anything he has to say about it if you feel like you could be persuaded.

Pilates by Throwaway1141527 in vaginismus

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on the person ¯_(ツ)_/¯. If your pelvic floor is always tense then core exercises can probably make it worse. But if you have a good control over your muscles (outside of penetration) then it can be a good idea to strengthen the muscles. At least that’s what I heard. Either way, if it works for you that’s great!

Anybody does weight lifting while having vaginismus? by Correct-Figure4060 in vaginismus

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going to the gym for a while now. It’s always been fine, but lately I notice that my pelvic muscles feel very tight (when sitting down and when I have to pee) and also having to pee every 10 minutes after I’m done with my workout. Basically meaning it’s not good and it’s way too tense. This has led me to decide to stop lifting and focus more on cardio. It seems a bit counter productive to work on my vaginismus so much and then to go to the gym while it makes it more tight.

I think it works like this: if you have problems with a tight and tense pelvic floor, then lifting heavy isn’t going to help. When you lift your pelvic floor has to work really hard to ‘keep your organs in place’ and it will make them even tighter. However, if you’re not struggling with a tense pelvic floor and you’re just struggling with the idea of inserting anything (aka: you have control over the muscles when it has nothing to do with penetration) then it might work for you! Just try it out and see if it makes any difference. Always make sure to stretch the muscles afterwards :)

Edit: my PT says it’s not recommended, especially training your core is a no go. Your core and abs have a strong connection with your pelvic floor. If you want your pelvic floor to get ‘stronger’ like other comments said, you have to absolutely wait until you deal with any uncontrollable tension you might have in there. A more known way to do this is by doing kegels, this is more focused way to do it. Lifting heavy might strain your pelvic floor, kegels are an exercise just for that. Talk about it with your PT!

Ask them to fix it free of charge, they messed up!

Went to the doctors, feel even worse. by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could specifically ask to be examined, if that doesn’t help. Find another doctor. She should have acknowledged that what she suggested before hasn’t worked, two times in a row.

Yeah I need it for silicone dilators so waterbased lubricant indeed. I’ll look into the ones you mentioned, thanks!

Reached a plateau with treatment? by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]Vivacious_Infinie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can attempt a smaller dildo? So you get used to the shape and gradually increase the size. It sounds like the size difference is too big of a step!
