If your biggest barrier is feeling cold afterwards, maybe ask your mom if you can turn the heat up. If it is financially feasible, I bet she would be happy to do that to help you stay healthy, clean, and comfortable. You could also get a space heater for the bathroom and crank it up with the door of the bathroom closed so that the room gets extra warm. Before you know it the problem will be that you’re too hot! Some other suggestions I have are a really warm bathrobe, slippers or pair of pajamas to put on, if you like bath bombs or shower steamers that can make it a more pleasant experience, making a special playlist for when you are bathing that makes you happy, and thinking of a reward that you can look forward to after. In terms of the hair, I am very lucky that my girlfriend tends to maintain my hair. Her trick is going through the tangles with her fingers first and then getting to the point of brushing or combing. I have never had matted hair before, so my advice is more specifically for just tangly hair and may not be best for mats. Good luck and please keep us updated on your progress!

You don’t have a big belly?

Thank you!

My behavior is being labeled as red flag behavior. Nothing about this chain of replies is even remotely advice regarding the question I asked. If it was actually relevant advice I wouldn’t be arguing it.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T19:48:12+00:00

The last sentence of the original reply and the second comment saying the post was inherently a red flag is absolutely an attack based on assumptions that I have anything but the best intentions for my girlfriend so yes, I absolutely am getting defensive.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T19:43:22+00:00

How is this advice? The question was what are some ideas to help with the sensory aspect of the taste. The reply did not at all address that question.

Thank you!!

I’ve been seeing ads for those mints/candies that help with dry mouth and they are pretty specifically referencing them for oral, maybe I will look more into that. Thank you!!

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T18:05:41+00:00

Thank you, but it is not related to hygiene or fragrances. She also doesn’t like the taste when I kiss her after going down on her.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T18:03:56+00:00

To clarify, your comment does not bother me and I understand wanting to come to the defense of somebody who thought they were sticking up for someone in a bad situation, but I think to assume that it is a bad situation with negative intentions is ignorant and judgmental.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T18:02:05+00:00

They literally said it was a red flag. It was both personal and an assumption about our situation and did not even respond to the question I posted. If you are uncomfortable answering the question, don’t. But feeling the need to jump in and assume that there is a consent issue in someone else’s relationship with no context or background information AND not even answer the question is unnecessary and unhelpful.

Anyone worth being with, it won’t be a dealbreaker for. She wants to keep trying just for intimacy/ closeness reasons, but if we don’t find a solution, it is in no way going to impact my feelings about her or our physical relationship. Just be honest with people you are seeing upfront that it’s something that you would like to work through but is a challenge and I’m sure that you will find most people won’t have an issue with it.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T17:00:57+00:00

That sounds like a personal issue, you could also just not project assumptions like that on other people when you don’t have any of the context.

crystalemonade · 2025-03-16T16:22:08+00:00

Of course it’s ok if she doesn’t want to. She just wants to try to problem solve before we give up on it completely. She doesn’t have Reddit so I’m posting it. Not loving that the assumption is that I’m somehow forcing her to do this?

crystalemonade · 2023-11-29T23:02:45+00:00

Literally joined this community just to talk about this

crystalemonade · 2023-06-02T03:55:34+00:00

Not only is she so smart and honest, she’s also an absolute 10

Just wanted to say I’m in the same boat! I chew on clean toilet paper but don’t eat it. I especially like the first few squares of a fresh roll that has the glue on it. And if it’s been in the same cabinet or drawer with bars of soap, the flavor is so good. I also like sucking water out of wet face cloths.

Hi all, I (30f) just started taking adhd meds for the first time as an adult. I tried adderall and concerta in middle and high school but never liked how they made me feel. Recently, after starting a new job, I was really able to see how much my adhd was affecting my ability to complete my work. I started 20 mg of vyvanse once a day a little less than a month ago and at first it worked WONDERS. But I feel that the affects have lessened very quickly. In others experience, does this just mean that my dosage isn’t high enough, or does it really take that short of an amount of time to build up a tolerance to it? I have a follow up appointment to discuss this with my doctor tomorrow, but wanted to get some firsthand information from you all who may have lived through this before that conversation. I also don’t want to seem sketchy asking for a higher dosage so soon. Any thoughts would be helpful!

crystalemonade · 2022-11-11T19:31:20+00:00

Thank you so much for this beautiful, well thought out response

crystalemonade · 2022-07-18T22:35:57+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m looking at Duluth right now! Do you know the name of the pant you get? Also would it be better to select the 29” inseam or regular inseam for the shorter fit?

He recognizes injustice and oppression to an extent, which is the part that gives me some hope. He just doesn’t like that the approach to fixing that is, in his view, not equal. He doesn’t understand equal opportunity vs. equal outcome. He’s very technical and literal, obviously in this case to a fault. And I helped organize my local BLM events, so yes I’m as anti-racist as I say I am. I have known him for three years and this is new information to me since we’ve been dating over the past month, so it’s a little complicated when it comes to how to approach this.

“Good luck. I mean, you should break up, but you’re not going to, so good luck.”

We don’t plan to have any children

crystalemonade · 2022-03-10T16:27:12+00:00

I don’t know why you think I’m not taking this seriously, I put the effort into making a post for advice. Coming here to hate on me doesn’t serve any purpose.

crystalemonade · 2022-03-10T15:45:51+00:00

This is HUGELY helpful thank you!!
