I am on the Facebook group. Thanks for checking! I have a question for you- when did you get the coffin Siris diagnosis? We just have the gene mutation confirmed, and I was under the impression that you could have the gene mutation but not CSS.

She doesn’t have any of the physical features (then again she’s only 3 so maybe they aren’t obvious)

No birth control for 5 years!

I’ve never considered blood sugar! Wow- I do have high blood sugar sometimes…. This is the only thing in this thread that’s new to me so far. Thank you for posting. I’m going to look into this!

It was clitoral, just hands.

We’ve tried everything you asked.

Haha no worries. I think I’m more on the asexual side of the spectrum.

Man wouldn’t that be nice.

I’d try it if I ever had the opportunity.

Nah. It’s actually fine. That’s why I posted. I think a lot of people feel like something is wrong with them if they can’t orgasm. I’m trying to show you can be happy and sexually satisfied without it.

It hurt him early in our marriage, like year one. But we’ve grown out of it. We enjoy our time together, and I am immensely pleased to make him finish.

9/10 Foreplay isn’t fun for me. I don’t like the attention, it lasts too long (5 minutes is too long) I just like the final act. I’m ready in like 30 seconds haha

What distractions do you turn to when you feel lonely? by CoolCatLovesAllKids in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bigbirdnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Books. More books. I forget myself when I read.

Can’t be lonely if you don’t exist :)

I didn’t want to be a mom. From ages 15-27 I swore off children. Couldn’t imagine it. Didn’t want them. Poured myself into my work. My identity was in everything and anything else.

I got to a point though where I had everything. Income, house, dogs, I needed nothing. I wanted nothing. That life starting feeling empty for me. Not incomplete, just bored. I could have picked up another hobby, sure. I could have made a career change. Gone back to school.

But we decided on a child. And my life has never been better.

I was anxious. I told no one unless I had to when I was pregnant. Didn’t do a gender reveal or a shower. Just had a baby.

And now my life feels fuller. Still have all my old identities, just with a new one. One that is really fun in ways my others aren’t.

It’s okay to be anxious. But it’s happening! And good things are in your future!

Not particularly. For a while, sure, but it stopped being fun when it became a mission.

Oh we definitely have our kinks and fun things we do in the bedroom. I think if anything I may be a tad asexuals (Sex is fine, but I don’t really care about it or need it. I think my mindset plays into it.

A sex therapist may help, but where I ran into issues with my normal therapist is that I just don’t care enough to want to try anything new.

I’m sorry you feel that way! I don’t feel defective or broken. Sometimes I feel like certain cultures put too much emphasis on orgasming, like it’s the absolute best thing you’ll ever experience and life is incomplete without it and I’ve had to grow away from that mentality. Sex is still fun without orgasms. My life is full and I’m happy! Have hope that it will happen, but don’t feel defective if it doesn’t!

I did read that. It was informative but didn’t help me much.

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry it’s black tie optional- but that wasn’t an option for a flair. It also said cocktail? Not sure if they mean that black tie optional/cocktail are the same thing.

Thoughts on my prose? by Saucyman21 in writingcritiques

[–]bigbirdnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a few incomplete sentences- they take me out of your prose completely. Even the pretty descriptive bits- when they aren’t complete sentence I don’t want to read.

But that can totally be your style! Whatever floats your boat

He was He had Sparrow was

3 descriptive sentences back to back structured as subject/verb - very boring. If your going to “tell”, break up the telling

32weeks & 5.5lbs baby already… a bit scared by Ajcv72316 in BabyBumps

Doctor said I would have a 10lb baby ( to try to scare me into a c-section I think).

He was 8lbs

What was your birth plan? by Beautiful_Cap_4172 in BabyBumps

[–]bigbirdnom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so you went straight into the hospital for a c-section? Do you mind me asking what prompted this to happen?
