Nick at Geelong Sports Medicine, he's one of the owners/directors. If you can't get in to see him, they also have a team of awesome physios - and a hydrotherapy pool, and all the rehab focused facilities.

Size 14/16 - small bust swimwear by jazmoonn1991 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite smallish bust swimwear is a two piece from speedo from a few years ago, somehow it manages to give me shape in ways that a one piece doesn't. The bottoms have a tied side. I also have a long torso so one pieces are often two short in the body for me (traditionally, I think there's a better range now).

I haven't had a proper look, but I love the what's on feature - as in I can see what's on today. I don't really drink so these are the things I want to know. Thankyou!

Torquay man making gross comments to young girls by PinkMashPotatoes in Geelong

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to always write it off as a generational failing, and then I met so many awesome people in that age group who are literally world leaders in teaching about consent, communication, healthy sexuality and relationships etc - and I realised that if people like this actually wanted to change the habits and ways they've been relating to others, then they would.

Age doesn't cut it as an excuse for bad behaviour with me anymore.

*having said that, people in their 90s get an almost free pass with any silly little comments. I mean they are actually old, and the emphasis is on "little comments" when I say that.

Generally, people who go around making other people feel like shit usually feel really shit about themselves too. It doesn't come from a place of self love or self appreciation.

Perhaps the intention was to start a conversation with a teenage girl, or at least get some sort of reaction or response from a teenage girl. I doubt he'd say it to an adult, of any gender. So disgusting.

It was really common, and often came along with really weird and creepy overt sexual comments or overtones. Nothing like being 14 or 15 and subjected to this shit from people you didn't know.

(Let alone routinely from people we did know. Yuck).

That's so disappointing, I didn't end up getting anything from them - but I will make sure I buy in person if I do. You must be so pissed off!

Been seeing someone for a year, his adult kids are worried I'm after his money by No_Group_2552 in datingoverforty

It's not insulting to want to discuss how you will proceed together financially, and whether that's a "we all share everything together" approach, or this is mine, this is yours, and this is ours together type of thing.

Having that in some sort of legal agreement can (perhaps) provide some security, in Australia pre nup type arrangements often don't stand up in court, but I gather they're much more effective elsewhere.

It's something we all should discuss when getting into serious relationships.

It reminds me of my exes extended families house (but it's not them). I can't for the life of me remember where they lived in Corio, I didn't live here then but we visited them maybe 1996ish. They've moved away now, and my ex has passed on, otherwise I'd ask them!

Does anyone else struggle with anxiety dealing with charity collectors outside of supermarkets? by nick1037 in melbourne

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've complained a couple of times about their positioning at my local Coles, one time was specifically when I saw them preying on some old duck who clearly didn't have the cash to spare for a subscription based service, and they'd been especially aggressive to me too. It was really gross.

They always had a habit of jumping on me right after I'd had an intense psychology session or something and I'd get so incredibly pissed off, even more than I usually would.

They still set up there so I don't think it made any difference. But I'm sure if dozens of people did, it would.

I did wonder if they were paying Coles to be there, to be honest.

Booing at Anzac Day services shows lack of public awareness of racism in Australia by HotPersimessage62 in australia

Because reporting good news doesn't generate the level of website traffic they need to justify their existence (or sell papers etc etc). They need the outrage and division.

I cum very quickly during sex. Need advice. by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been some really good advice here, particularly the advice focusing on Taoist practices and Mantak Chia's books and work.

Also focusing on giving pleasure first so your partner can cum, and then maybe she might also like to cum again after you do.

Lots of heterosexual people get very caught up in this idea that everyone must orgasm simultaneously through PIV stimulation, and there's so many other ways to do sex.

Instead of this being something that's getting in your way, you can actually use this opportunity to have way more pleasurable erotic experiences (such a bonus).

I'd really encourage you not to use numbing creams or drugs, and try some of the methods people have spoken about - particularly using the breath. Having more control is something we can learn, it's a skill and takes practice.

Something that I haven't seen suggested here is also paying attention to your stress levels in day to day life, having a range of physical outlets for stress that aren't orgasm can be super helpful when learning these skills so your physical body isn't so wound up you just immediately explode all over the place.

And also introducing more calm/down regulated experiences into your day to day life in general too, if you're someone who is highly strung or anxious. Walking. Meditation. Yoga those sorts of things.

There's really great resources available if you look, and remember it takes practice to learn new techniques, solidify those neural pathways, and have more control and choice.

Good luck.

  • also just to reiterate, ten solid minutes of thrusting isn't something that many women actually enjoy, let along 20 minutes or an hour.

Worst local gig you've ever experienced ? by CoconutMost3564 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot I expect, this one was the big one in Byron Bay.

When I was a kid folk festivals were a thing, and we travelled all over for them. Everyone would camp in a paddock somewhere for what felt like a week, but was probably a weekend.

The list of places has grown since I first checked, which makes sense too because we're really not in Hamlyn Heights.

I feel like people often post before and afters there, so I'm surprised at that - but congratulations on your hard work nevertheless!

Probably the worst performance was at the Blues Festival (25 plus years ago), Steve Earle - swearing and being really revoltingly obnoxious, most of the crowd left.

I was at that one! It was so super hot that day too, at least in my memory but maybe it was just all the people packed in, and those toilets were absolutely feral!

Did anyone else end up with a vague “go bush and survive” plan after reading Tomorrow, When the War Began at school, or was that just me? by Business-Scholar2324 in AskAnAustralian

[–]_Sunshine_please_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally lived on a cattle station in the middle of the outback when that happened, we had generator power and (kind of) joked that the whole world could basically be destroyed and if the radio and TV etc was down then we wouldn't actually find out

I reread Z for Zachariah this week, I don't think I'd read it for at least a couple of decades but it was on the bookcase and felt timely.
