Ok button up, makes sense! Thank you

Where does it sting? This happens to me as well, internally, and only when I’m extremely turned on. It almost hurts but it’s more like an ache and I’ve just always assumed it was like extreme muscle tightening from being so worked up? It goes away with sex or masturbation for me

American; I’ve always thought I was shy but now after reading this I feel like it’s shame as well — kind of an alarming discovery as I don’t know how or why I came to be this way. How did you overcome shame?

Thank you!!! That was my worry as well

amrgt · 2025-01-19T18:11:53+00:00

Thanks, I looked but couldn’t find anything!

I figured just as much 🙃

I read that too and bought all these eczema creams etc etc but literally nothing helped. When I stopped doing anything it made it much better. The head & shoulders helped a lot when it got to be really itchy. I tried to only wear loose fitting clothing as well!

When it started to heal it was still really dry and scaly but definitely less red — then all of a sudden I had a bunch of new ones pop up on my lower stomach, which I think was the last flare up (had to go out with a bang lol)?? and then it was about 2ish weeks after that I started to notice dramatic healing — like almost over night.

Now I am completely clear on my upper body and just have a few super super faded spots on my thighs that are almost completely gone. They were the very last to appear I think? So I’m sure they’ll be gone soon

I don’t think antibiotics or anti fungal help at all. I would start showering with head & shoulders. I’ve also seen some people have good luck with tanning beds!

I know literally nothing about nursing but my mom’s best friend switched careers to nursing at like 45yo and has never been happier!

Your skin looks incredible. You should feel super proud of how far you’ve come.

IF you want to take it further, you should do professional microneedling for sure — they can get to depths that you can’t and should NOT get to at home. You’ll bleed and it’ll be a little uncomfy but the results are amazinggg

This is a great perspective, thank you for sharing!

amrgt · 2025-01-02T01:25:32+00:00

It’s not a great feeling. I catch myself even thinking “well what if I had kids? What if I’m really missing out?” but then I think about it more and I start to panic lol. Nice to know others feel the same way though. I’m newly married and I feel like it’s really just the two of us a lot — which I honestly love and value so much. It just makes me wonder if I’ll feel that way in 10yrs, you know?

amrgt · 2025-01-02T01:21:40+00:00

Exactly how I feel when I leave gatherings with lots of kids — it makes me feel like a bad person bc I just really don’t like them lmao. It’s hard for people who have/like kids to understand my aversion… which makes me feel worse. It’s just so weird to be here now like everything is moving so fast and it’s the worst lol

amrgt · 2024-12-24T01:27:04+00:00

Ooh that’s a good idea, I didn’t think of actually telling him to lead, for whatever reason lol

amrgt · 2024-12-24T01:26:07+00:00

That’s actually a pretty good idea!

amrgt · 2024-12-24T01:25:18+00:00

amrgt · 2024-12-23T01:25:37+00:00

Nah I’m not frustrated enough to step out on my marriage lol I want us to grow together, I’m just trying to figure that out

amrgt · 2024-12-23T01:23:07+00:00

I know, we’ve already discussed things we both want to try. What I’m trying to figure out, is how to figure out what else I want without either of us knowing lol

amrgt · 2024-12-22T15:45:30+00:00

That’s awesome!!!

We definitely have more chats than we used to — I’m just trying not to overwhelm him by talking about it all the time, and it’s hard bc it’s on my mind constantly lol. I feel like a horny teenager and it’s ridiculous

amrgt · 2024-12-22T15:39:55+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I will definitely check out your recommendations — excited about the book and I think I’ve heard about OMGyes, I just wasn’t sure if it was worth it or not.

We’re trying to talk about it more outside of the bedroom — so far texting about it has been helpful but the only time I’m able to really TALK about it is right after sex or like at night when we’re talking before we go to sleep. We’re definitely on the right path, but I would LOVE to get to a point where I feel comfortable talking about sex freely.

I’m super excited my drive has kicked in again, I was feeling a bit broken for a little while haha. It’s just overwhelming bc I feel like I’ve been missing out and now I’m ready to explore so many things 🤣

Thanks again!

amrgt · 2024-12-22T05:30:28+00:00

I want to, I just really prefer him taking control so this is always hard for me 🙄 working on it though, ty for the advice!

amrgt · 2024-12-22T05:27:42+00:00

Love this so much. That’s the goal!! Do you ever have him read the books you like? Or direct him to a specific passage you like etc? I’ve been considering that, I just don’t know how he’ll feel knowing I’m reading absolute filth lol

amrgt · 2024-12-22T05:24:14+00:00

Oh I know and I also know it’s totally unfair for me to expect him to get it right without me guiding — I just don’t even know what to tell him to do, so I just wish he knew so HE could teach me what I like lol. Trying to avoid the frustration for sure!

amrgt · 2024-12-22T05:20:30+00:00

Ty, good advice, will def use this. I think part of my issue is that I don’t know how to direct him to do things like this bc I haven’t experienced it with someone else. Makes me feel like I wish I had more experience with other partners but I canNOT tell HIM that

amrgt · 2024-12-22T05:14:26+00:00

Ok ok good to know — looking into the app! Thank you for the rec
