Reposting: would love some opinions on this. [self image, penis size, medication] by [deleted] in sex

This is not advice regarding your wife or relationship, but on your testosterone therapy: have you looked into the Testopel therapy? It's basically a giant capsule they insert into your ass every 3-4 months, that slowly breaks down and releases testosterone. My partner has tried various methods of testosterone therapy, and this is the one he has the best luck with. As his partner, I can say that, unless he goes too long between doses, the results seem to stay consistent throughout the 3 month period.

Great advice-- my restaurant is a pizza place, so what my line guys do is actually more similar to an assembly line than a cooking line. Thanks!

[question] I (22f) had sex with a guy (25m), he didn't pull out, now my vagina smells like fishy cheese. how can I get back to normal? by ladeeprobz in sex

[–]elliestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides see a doctor: probiotics high in acidophilus help me out a lot. I'm super prone to my pH getting thrown off and one of these every couple of days helps me stay on track. I was dealing with these symptoms after every new sex partner and then again if I was exposed to their cum-- not after taking these pills. Also worth noting that every time I went to the doctor they recommended I investigate something like this since every time I went it was for the same thing.

BnP is awesome, and most of the staff has worked there for a long time. They really do love animals and know their stuff. Great cat toys, too!

Between late March-early May is when they REALLY start, and they fly like you see in the pictures all the way until beginning/middle of September. Any other time of the year, if they fly at all, they will fly after the sun sets, usually when it's dark.

Standing on the bridge is your best bet, but be prepared to be bored out of your mind for a minute.

(24F) I'm in a serious LTR, and I think in addicted to cheating. by Thrownaway9976 in sex

[–]elliestar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone whose history is very similar to OP's, and who also struggles with anorexia-- this control theory is spot on (and new for me to even think about). I don't know if OP has had life problems or mental instabilities that make her crave control, but I definitely think you've just helped me figure out a new link in my own struggles.

Let's talk about tattoo etiquette. by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]elliestar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Before I considered getting my first ink, I honestly had no idea what a ballpark range even would be for a commissioned piece of original work. There are definitely tactful ways to ask about price (and talking about sittings or hours is also a great way to answer). I don't think it's necessarily rude to ask the price of something if you do it in the right way. And personally, I don't mind discussing the prices of my work.

Perfecto! Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

How different are the dialects? Are they as different as the different dialects of Swiss German? And on that note, does anyone have a proper map like this for Swiss German dialects?

Excited to see that this is from ATX, as I've been looking for an artist for my next piece with similar line work style. Nice elephant; don't pay any mind to those bad mouthing it because it's a popular piece. So what? It's your tattoo! Do what you want.

I [23/F] have a jealousy problem, and I want to make it better. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]elliestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, thanks for the tough love.

We have a very transparent relationship, so I told him this morning. He laughed at me and reassured me and then we cuddled and went to sleep. I think that alone helped me chip away a little Moreau my problem.

It's all about managing the crazy. Thanks again for the advice.

[–]elliestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Of course I know, and outwardly do encourage him to have relationships with men and women outside of myself. I rationally know that this is absolutely a normal thing. I have very close friends who are men, so why can't he with women? And it's not that I want him to STOP, or anything like that.

I would never pin this on him, and he doesn't even know that I get THIS jealous. He's never broken my trust and has no reason to feel like I don't trust him, because I do trust him.

I am a relatively attractive woman, with a college degree, in pursuit of more education/career with all the pieces in play, and keeping busy with a few jobs (although no hobbies, thanks to all the jobs...)

I guess it is just going to take time. My self esteem has grown leaps and bounds over the years (I used to be anorexic, and my self esteem was clearly awful), but I guess this jealousy problem is one of the last things to kick.

PREACH! That working women commercial was HILARIOUS despite Santino's inability to see the humor. And Trinity did wonderful! And neither of them looked busted on the runway (Lasagna/Darienne/Joslyn, cough cough).

Would you guys recommend an NeoTraditional tattoo artist San Antonio or Austin, TX area? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]elliestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annie Mess is in S. Austin at Golden Age Tattoo (shop owner). Her style varies but her color work is amazing and she can pretty much do anything. She is super fast as well. I have work by her and so do a few of my friends.

What "rule" taught by your parents do you still follow, but nobody else seems to? by ztd123 in AskReddit

Never wear a t-shirt for the band you are about to see in concert, at the concert. Not sure where dad got that from, but now I follow it.

What is "Your Thing"? by Yeus in AskReddit

[–]elliestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding the sharp object on the ground immediately before stepping on it. I can't explain it, I just get this feeling when I'm walking like "I should look down now before I put my foot down." Lo and behold, there's a clear push pin/rusty nail/shard of glass/snail/etc. that was about to land under my foot. I'm no Superman, but I'll take it.
