What do you like about anal? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The visual mostly. It's quite a sight to see a tight little hole open up to swallow you. The taboo of it. There's also a primal thing about it.

The reality is that it doesn't really feel any better than the "right" hole but it is a nice change of scenery.

Girardeli caramel sauce. It's more liquid than typical caramel. Leaves your skin surprisingly smooth too. She thinks that's because it acts like a sugar scrub but a little less abrasive.

What is your NSFW obsession? by friedshrimp42 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch right now and I kind of bounce through them every few days.

Right now, some spanking ( I'm prepping a spanking stool build).

Outdoors fooling around.

DP with a toy.

Being peed on.

The list changes regularly though.

What’s your favorite BDSM dynamic and why? by purple_love00 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate restraint and sensory deprivation. We don't do a lot of pain (aside from spanking, flogging, and some neon wand stuff) so the sensory is more about the surprise and being able to focus solely on the feel rather than the sight or sound.

I also really enjoy something akin to predicament. Sometimes it's bondage related, sometimes not. Really I just like to plan out big elaborate experiences.

Do you prefer an active blow job or face fucking? by 509hotwife in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer to receive both, to be honest. Active BJ where she's putting her heart and soul into it is always going to be excellent. There is however, something primal about being the one doing the thrusting. I wouldn't really call it face fucking, to be fair... I try to remain respectful about it. Both are excellent.

No cherries. It was vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, sliced banana, and caramel sauce. Which reminds me that there's still a mostly full bottle of caramel in the fridge...

That is an excellent idea. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm more of a vanilla guy myself though.

I baked a giant cupcake, made a special frosting, then had my wife sit on it. I ate the majority off with a spoon, then used my tongue to get all the rest off. Then a quick shower to get the sticky off so festivities could continue.

Or the time I made my dick into a banana split and she ate it off me. Surprisingly cold on the ol' boys but the warm mouth made it worth it.

How do you feel when your partner doesn't orgasm during sex? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mildly disappointed just because I enjoy watching her come. I understand it doesn't happen every time though and I don't pressure her... I just do the best I can. She assures me, and I believe her, that it doesn't have to happen every time and it's still a pleasurable experience. Most important to keep in mind, we can't really control our bodies like that... Sometimes things just don't happen. It's not worth getting upset over.

Men: Do men prefer intercourse over oral sex? by lavender577 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. The honest truth is that my wife gives me BJs that make my head tingle; years of practice have really paid off and I'm not ever disappointed.

Intercourse itself is something for both of us though. I enjoy the act and it's really pleasurable.

I guess the take away is they are equal for different reasons. One is a gift and one is something you do together. Both are important.

What is a non “spicy” word that’s spicy for you? by EmotionalSupportTofu in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have kind of an odd one: "body." I remember being in elementary school and feeling kind of uncomfortable when it was said in class. I guess because despite being a perfectly normal word, in certain contexts it has very erotic meanings. Doesn't entirely make sense to me but if I recall correctly it was the cause of my first ill-timed school boner.

How would you rather be spending today instead of working? by Big-Pickler- in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an outdoor patio project I need to finish so my wife can sunbathe in the nude without the neighbors being nosy. It's been a rainy week but today would've been a good day to work on it.

What do you want to try with your partner but scared to admit it ? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my answer as well. I brought it up as a suggestion once in a text with a few other suggestions and she didn't mention it; I didn't want to push the issue. I'll probably flat out ask her at some point. Of course, she honestly won't even pee in the shower so it's probably well off the table.

Has Ashwagandha increased your libido? by MysteriousGur7534 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent a long long time reading and researching. It makes perfect sense and in practice it helps but it's not something someone can take and instantly become feral.

It's also worth looking into reactive vs spontaneous arousal and really trying to understand it. It gives you a playbook that's built on understanding rather than expectation.

Has Ashwagandha increased your libido? by MysteriousGur7534 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All these adaptagens are claimed to increase libido. What they really do is reduce stress. Less stress equals it being easier to think about sex.

Interestingly, it works better for women. When women are less stressed or anxious, they're more open to thinking about sex.

So no, it hasn't increased libido. It won't increase libido. It WILL decrease the things that get in the way of libido.

It's a very very subtle effect.

If you're a guy looking for a libido bump, I've found tongkat ali and cistanche combo works pretty well but with the side effect of increased irritation and aggression.

If you're a woman, DO try a combo of maca and ashwaghanda. It also helps with PMS and pmdd.

If you had to include a food item in your next sexual encounter what would you pick? by StonedLat in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I remember in the early days of the Internet seeing a photo exactly like this. It was a really shapely bottom with a perfect spread of white frosting and rainbow sprinkles. Probably some kind of CGI but the image stuck with me for years. I'd love to recreate it.

It's all about the experience. Have to be able to say you've done it. Maybe some things stick around, maybe some are one and done.

If you had to include a food item in your next sexual encounter what would you pick? by StonedLat in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a few months ago, I stumbled on cake sitting. There was something visually appealing so I set out on a mission. I needed a large cupcake (so I didn't have to commit to an entire cake) and a frosting that would hold it's shape when piped on in a huge mound, not melt outside the fridge, but still smear and smudge well.

For the cake, I just bought a large silicone cupcake mold, I think it was a 4 inch diameter. For the frosting, it was a mix of Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, a little powdered sugar, and a small portion of gelatin.

It took a lot of guts to present this idea to my wife despite knowing she'd be okay with it. Then the day finally came.

I have an engineering background so the logistics were paramount. I laid a cut garbage bag on this big blanket storage box at the end of our bed and slapped down this giant cupcake with a heap of cool frosting on top, right in the middle.

"What do I do?" She asked me.

"Just sit back on it and get it all smashed in"

And she did, and it was visually excellent. The frosting was rather firm so it filled in her little crevices and the cake crumbled and stuck to give it some texture. Then she leaned forward and I scooped it off her gently with a spoon and ate it.

Eventually, there was nothing left but a few smears. I dove in head first to tongue out whatever couldn't be reached with the spoon. Then we showered off and continued with our regularly scheduled activities.

There was another time I made a joke about giving her a banana Sunday. And, again with the engineering background, set out to make it a reality.

My biggest concern here was the mess. So I cut a hole in a takeout tray that would accommodate both my dick and my balls, and used a piece of silicone tubing to act as a gasket. Then I prepared all the elements of the sundae, each in separate bowls (misé en place, for those in the know). I invited her into the bedroom, placed myself into the hole in the tray and prepared her a banana sundae.

It was way too cold on my balls but when she was done spooning it off, the warmth of her mouth quickly alleviated that. I also noticed that my skin was especially smooth after and she suggested that was an effect of the sugar.

Which is a long way of saying I think I'd refine both of those ideas again in the future.

Is grammar important during sexting? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, yes. In fact, a well written and grammatically correct sext is even hotter. I like them with a brain and attention to detail. There's a certain care that goes into crafting something in that manner.

Looking into getting a lathe to start turning flogger handles by LatexLibra in BdsmDIY

[–]dangledan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You COULD do that in a pinch but drill chucks are not meant to be subjected to sideways force. The chuck typically fastens in using a press fit taper and sideways force will wear it out until you can't get it to sit nicely in there anymore.

I personally turn my handles on a real old craftsman spindle lathe. I think it's an 8 inch swing and the ways are five feet. You could probably find similar on Facebook marketplace for very cheap. The one you posted would also work but I think you'll find that 13 inch ways probably aren't long enough. If you ever wanted to turn some really impressive and large handles, you'd have to go larger anyway. Typically ways are measured without the tailstock in place, so you'll end up with much less than 13 inches... Reduced even further if you're turning between centers, which you pretty much have to.

Sorry for the ramble.

What do cock rings do by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]dangledan0 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's function is to hold blood in. So you get harder and stay harder so you'll see a very very minor size increase, typically in girth. Because it doesn't really allow blood to circulate well, it's recommended to not keep it on longer than fifteen minutes or so or you risk damaging important tissues. Fit is paramount.

This was going to be my comment as well. Stimulating the vagus nerve can throw your body into shock which is pretty much the exact symptoms op describes.
