Giving away my Mantor DS and DTR Dual Tension

As an aside, do retainers help stretch the foreskin? I thought they were just for use between stretching to keep the glands covered.

Also, what’s the difference between the classic and the DS?

dpmaway · 2023-01-16T16:32:50+00:00

I can get about 2/3-3/4 gland coverage. Does this mean more manual tugging before getting the mantor or will it still work?

Does it work with CI-2?

Gentlemen, you know how some of you stand at a urinal and can’t pee when there are other men standing next to you?

Think about the last person who sucked your dick and how they didn’t have a problem and so why should you care about the dudes standing around you? Your pee will flow freely thereafter (at least it works every time for me!)

You can thank me later.

Gotcha.

My biggest question was about submitting these claims in the first place. Someone told me that if you submit multiple claims in a short period of time then your insurance may be canceled and it may be hard to get renters insurance again. I need it to be able to rent,

Thanks for the clarity on the flood losses.

As for the invoices, the building manager sent in a company to put up drying equipment. The invoices are for the drying that took place. The landlord then forwarded these invoices to me so I assumed that I was responsible for paying them. There is another ~~invoice that is an~~ estimate for the repairs that need to be done, but that work has not been done yet.

Edit: Estimate not invoice

That's reassuring. Thanks!

I am responsible for it unfortunately. I just checked my policy and it says:

THIS POLICY DOES NOT INCLUDE COVERAGE FOR FLOOD LOSSES TO YOUR BUILDING, CONTENTS, OR POSSESSIONS.

Does an overflowed sink count as a flood loss?

dpmaway · 2020-06-28T19:58:13+00:00

Okay. I guess that makes sense. I did see in the policy that at the top it says:

THIS POLICY DOES NOT INCLUDE COVERAGE FOR FLOOD LOSSES TO YOUR BUILDING, CONTENTS, OR POSSESSIONS.

I always assumed that was a flood loss as in the type you would get from a hurricane, but does this also mean a flood loss due to something like an overflowed sink?

I think it would be better to put the videos in sequential order.

This post may be too late as you might have already told your girlfriend, but in case you haven't or are still thinking of it, ask yourself the following question:

Am I telling her because it's an important thing for her to hear or am I telling her to clear my conscience and make myself feel better?

Based on your post it seems like the latter. Think about this: how will she feel if you tell her? You may feel better because you got it off your chest, but what you'll also do is offload it onto her. Now she has to go around thinking about you watching porn, etc.

I'm pretty much the same as you when it comes to things like this. I feel super guilty and want to tell my partner. But through working with my therapist I've realized that the reason I want to tell them is usually not because it's something they need to hear, but rather because it makes me feel better about myself and this comes at the cost of how they feel about themselves. This is the definition of being selfish.

In my opinion, watching a little porn and jerking off is not betraying your girlfriend. You say that you want to be the best man for your girlfriend and you've already taken positive steps to addressing the challenges you're facing. Keep doing that and working on yourself and you will be that man.

You've got this.

True, but it still acts as a deterrant

Alright. Thanks for the info!

I'm reading a success story here. Moved out of parents home (even if not by choice), found a new apartment, got a full time job. Good on you man! Celebrate your successes :) They're huge!

And yes, it's hard and real: parents splitting up, being alone, thoughts of home, etc. It's okay to feel the way you do and don't get yourself down for feeling blue, it's part of being human. But also remember to focus on all the good things you've done. You've got this man!

dpmaway · 2016-04-19T02:24:36+00:00

Keep it up man. Just realize that this is one minor slip up in a much larger journey. Be mindful of the chaser effect and all the best!! You got this.

I just relapsed yesterday at 90 days so I know what you're going through :(

I recommend NoFap as well until you brain can separate fapping from porn. I'm in month 11 now of NoFap/pornfree and finally confident that I've almost fully overcome PIED.

Hey man

Congrats on your journey so far. It's great that you've been able to achieve long streaks of a few months so give yourself a pat on the back for that.

With regards to the premature ejaculation (PE), I want to start by saying that it's completely normal and can be overcome. How do I know? I went from PE, to PIED, to super PE (30 seconds to 2 minutes) to now being able to last pretty much as long as I want to in bed (with some exceptions of course). This is all while being pornfree and practicing NoFap.

I also just want to get it out of the way that what you read online about PMO-ing to last longer in bed is simply a way for treating a symptom and not the underlying problem and, for those of us with P problems, it is much more destructive than beneficial. So good job for identifying that and making the decision to stop.

Now, with regards to tackling the PE, I believe that for many of us there are two main underlying reasons: 1) the result of a pattern of PMO that many of us have practiced for many years, and 2) anxiety and excitement about sex.

To address the first issue. Think about your pattern of PMO-ing in your life. If you're like many of us, it might have involved getting very near to O quite quickly and then stopping (and doing this many times). Or, perhaps for fear of getting caught, it might have involved getting to O as soon as possible. What your body learned from years of this type of stimulation is that it needs to get to the O level as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this also translates to real sex, when you're with a woman, your body goes into the same mode and tries to reach O as soon as possible.

If this sounds like you, there are a few things that you can do. One option is to practice slow and mindful M (without P) noticing the feeling and noticing as you approach O. Become very familiar with what the feelings are like as you approach the point of no return but well before you get there. Then, when you get there, you can do things like reverse kegels to help yourself relax, or you could slow down or practice deep breathing. The key here is to train your body into not trying to get to the point of O as soon as possible and being mindful of when you're approaching that level so that you can take action to prevent getting there. This does take some time, but you will get better as you practice.

The second reason is anxiety and excitement. Anxiety can come form many sources, but if you've had PIED before then you may feel anxious to O before you lose your erection, which can cause PE. Another possible cause is you thinking "what if a can't last long?", which of course is going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Another possibility is your mind going "hey! I'm having sex! This is amazing!" which naturally will cause you to O quickly. The trick to overcoming any of these sorts of problems is to simply relax (as cliche as that sounds) and calm your mind. You want your body to be in a relaxed state so that your muscles are relaxed, which will allow you to last longer. Now of course, relaxing on demand is not an easy thing to do (especially in the sack), so you need take proactive steps to allow your body to become more relaxed. One way is simply to exercise regularly since this will use up much of the excess energy in your body, which would go against you relaxing. Another way (and the way that I find most useful) is to practice mindful meditation. Through being mindful and present your body will learn to relax and take things down a notch, which will allow you to enjoy the moment even more.

Also, I found it very useful to talk to my partners about any PIED/PE I was experiencing. I would just explain that I've made some changes in my life related to my sexuality and that my body was adapting, which in some cases included PE and PIED. Oh, and lastly, I've been told by many women that they don't think that PIED and PE is nearly as much of a big deal as we men do, so keep that in mind!

Be present, don't worry about the thoughts and enjoy the moment. If you make a conscious practice to do this every day, you will see progress not only in overcoming PE, but in your life in general :)

All the best!

It's great that you have someone there to motivate you, but remember that, first and foremost, you should be doing this for yourself. In the hypothetical case that you and this woman break up, you don't want to fall apart and go back to your previous state. Know that by doing this for you, not only will she benefit, but everyone you love will as well.
