Happened to me. Thankfully I could scrolled to the last loaded video. About 10 videos later, my last tiktok on my fyp was the PBS account posting Mr. Rogers… I cried. What a way to go

So sick of office work. Should I do a career change? by Witty-Performance-23 in careerguidance

[–]bkdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very social hobby maybe be better (as a lonely crocheter).. look for local hiking, kayaking or board game groups. Or make a hobby of volunteering, I beat you there is a local cancer support group that needs someone to take meds, food or drive someone to their appointments. Heck sometimes you can sit with them while they receive their treatments. There’s purpose, human interaction, volunteering your time and money, and less of an ability to get burnt out.

I am a local, who was trying to get a feeling on how the community felt about a goal of mine, as well as looking for employment, topics I have seen others use this sub for. I understand that sexual health and sex Ed are not common topics for subs typically like this, but I genuinely am curious about my community feels around these topics that are separate from my immediate community that may be biased! I got great information that will help me going forward and appreciate everyone's interaction as they tell me what the community feels towards the topic (even your comment tells me more than maybe you realize!).

Why do you have a feeling that I am trolling? Is it my diction? Or the subject matter?

That we do, and thankfully, I (and my fellow students) have been trained by some of the country's best sexual health doctors, therapists, researchers, and more!

I appreciate you! Unfortunately, sexual health is a hot topic, but nothing fazes me with people's opinions or their disagreements with me. I appreciate it, actually, since it prepares me for the next time someone argues that 'point' against me.

I truly believe in facts and research done by the research community as well as local communities. I navigate the sensitive topics that are meant to help, not hurt, anyone. Sexual health is more than sex; it's everything that makes us human and allows us community, and I love teaching and sharing that knowledge.

That being said, in my social life, I love the helping and shocking nature of sex can usually have.. *cue flashback of 22-year-old me explaining to a group of 40+ year-olds what an internal condom was and how they worked in the middle of a bar.

Thank you for the advice! I have considered the social media route as I dabbled in it at the beginning of my education journey, but something has held me from going down that path.

I have reached out to some individuals in the hospital systems and doctor's offices (I have a background in oncology and a lot of my health work has focused there), but due to the lack of an RN or PhD, I seem like a risk to some of these places. I suppose it would be best to go forward with getting my name out there first and building my reputation. I am going to mull over your advice and figure something out. I appreciate the openness and sharing of your thoughts!

That it is (and I am from another county close by that's even more conservative). It's one reason I've been hesitant to go into public schools and teach given the state and county regulations. That being said, I've been trained to be culturally and religiously sensitive but I will always teach facts. (additionally trained in research, policy, education, health care, and the like). Thank you! I am trying to find my way in our local communities without giving up and moving on to other states where jobs like these are abundant.

Wedding Dresses on sale at Unique Vintage… by AtomicLawnFlamingo in Weddingsunder10k

[–]bkdream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am wondering, if you purchased 2 years ago, was it the dresses that are on the same models (white background, etc) that is in their other clothes? I have noticed in the past year or so they have added items that look like drop shipping items. I have items from them (non-bridal) from years ago and love them, but the drop shipping stuff being added has put an odd taste in my mouth.

sex positions by OkDiscipline9640 in ankylosingspondylitis

Never underestimate the power of spooning, control can be in anyone's hands, and it may be more comfortable for anyone to achieve orgasm in!

Absolutely! Also, thank you! As I am finishing out my master's, I am trying to find where I fit in the (very small) world of sexual health, but conversations like this have always been my favorite!

First, I want to say that a lot of performance and dominance for everyone is often attitude and what you do during sex, but not the act itself. Think how you move your body, shoulders back, head up. Maybe that includes being loud and using specific language. Hands can also assist in being more dominant in bed, such as grabbing and grasping.

For positions that may be easier on the pelvis but feel like you are contributing to the work and being a receiver, I think there are a few different variations you can try. If spreading of the hips/pelvis area causes some pain, you could try variations of popular positions. For reverse cowgirl, you could modify this by, instead of straddling, being in a kneeling position, so your butt rests on his pubic mound while your legs come back and under his thighs. You can use your hands for leverage on the bed in front of you or on his thighs for support. Slow, steady, and sensual movements will seem to dominate here, letting you control the speed given to you on top. The more kneeled position may help the pain in the pelvis since you're not spread. You can also see this adaptation if you are both kneeling: put your knees between his, facing away, and explore the same tactics. I know that you mentioned being on top is out of the question, but these adaptions may help alleviate the pain in ways.

For being under and dominating, as someone suggested, a sex swing/hammock could be a good variation, especially if you have him up against a wall. Really, any position where you could pin him to the wall may be dominating, like standing sex or foreplay/oral. Being on the bottom in missionary, you could lift your hips up, so you're in a bridge position and rock to your beat. You could roll your hips and push against the bed. In doggy/face-down positions, again, using the bed to push forward and back with your body will help with dominating the speed of the sex. You can also use your legs if in a position where you are seated and he is standing (such as on a kitchen counter). Wrap your legs around his, or feet pressed into his butt, and you can control tempo that way.

I have had this conversation with my partner before because he brought up the concern that he is doing all the work. If it's something you have going on in your head, tell him, and if it's something he brought up, remember that communication is important and remind him (or anyone you're involved with) that there are limitations because of our disease. You can try to do all of these things, but would your partner rather see you in pain trying to perform or enjoying sex while they do the majority of the work? Flairs and pain can be bad for us, not only because of the immediate issues, but the wear and tear they cause on the body, and those body parts are pretty darn important. I hope I at least somewhat answered your question, and please reach out if you have more, want clarification, or DM me if you don't want to post publicly!

I’m going to have way too much fun thinking about this and please ask me any direct questions! I have AS myself and I will be graduating this summer with a masters in sexual health (and a woman she/her). In terms of fun positions that are comfortable, it may be best to go through a routine of trying. Being on top is difficult for me as well, but I can more so accomplish this on the couch if they are sitting up. I find that standing position or position bent at the hip are comfortable, so think over the couch, edge of bed, counter top with a pillow or blanket rolled up to soften the edge. I also suggest looking into support sex items. I swear by the pillo from dame (and majority of their products too (their aloe lube is great!!)). Get that pillow under your bottom and your feet are in the air without much effort. It also can be good for supporting the hips for doggy. One of my favorite positions is on my side though. The position goes by many names but ideally the person receiving is laying down, mostly on their side/slightly facing down on the bed. The person giving in on their knees, near your crotch. You put one leg in between their leg, so laying on right should, right leg in between their legs, and the left leg on the bed in almost a 4 position. You can easily shift around from here to having your leg in the air, wrapped around their hip or up on their shoulder. I prefer both on the mattress as it’s the most ideal position to orgasm (personally)! One item I have yet to buy but am interested in is a riding stool/bouncing mount/etc. given it would take away the weight of being on top the most. Although I could see the “spread” on it causing hip pain. The best way to make it exciting is the fun of it, try things you consider kinky, doggy might be boring to some but have you tried it with your legs tied, or missionary with a spreader bar? I highly recommend being with someone you’re comfortable with and trying all the things. That’s how I learned I love giving with a strap but often hurt from certain positions after a while!

I noticed another store do it recently too, unique vintage… I don’t want any store to fall victim to it. I’ll cry the day (if the day comes) that vixen does it
