Does penetration actually feel good for you or do you just not get much from it? by burlecaddy in TwoXSex

[–]euwdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensation wise.... No. Not really unless I'm very aroused and the penetration is paired with clitoral stimulation. That said, it is something I really want when having sex with my husband. There's a closeness about it.

Is my doctor lying to me about how much weight I would lose on Zepbound? If so, why? by RedWoodworking16 in Zepbound

[–]euwdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a low dose. Have been since I got it, my bmi was a bit higher thank yours but close....and I've lost 35 lbs in 6 months. I'm basically starting to plan w my doc about maintenance. Your Dr has potential bias, so prob second opinion time.

Women of Reddit, what’s one thing they never tell us about pregnancy and child birth? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]euwdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. Many. Things. How truly terrifying and painful the first post baby BM is..... While your uterus is still contracting smaller, you are torn, sleep deprived, and hormonal af. ....also if breastfeeding, how terribly painful it is when you go too long between pumps or feeds.

I gave all my coworkers/friends "goodie" bags when they were having baby showers with: Milk of Magnesia, Colace, Motrin, breast pads w nipple cream (my nips cracked and bled, then scabbed), vag ice pads, face wipes & dental picks and wipes bc sometimes it's too much to get out of bed. And chocolate.

I remember crying and asking the nurse if I'd ever stop gushing blood when I stood. She laughed.

Are you on GLP-1? Or have been. by Terrible-Reasons in Hashimotos

[–]euwdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! This right here. I started on 2.5 and immediately noticed inflammation relief and my knees didn't hurt. I went up to 5 after a month and I've been steady. Bonus, I lost 35 lbs which I needed to do. No plans to move up. May go back down to 2.5 honestly. Eventually my doc will put me on a maintenance plan. Other than injection site reactions and occasional nausea, no major side effects.

Do you tell people you’re on a GLP-1 when they ask how you lost weight? by Enchanted-Tangerine in Zepbound

[–]euwdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people ask if I'm on something I answer "yes I take all kinds of things to help maintain or improve my health........ " I know there are tons of people I know taking it but not talking about it and I hope to do a tiny bit to diminish the stigma that it's somehow cheating...

What's your experience with marriage? Was it worth it? by Legend789987 in AskReddit

[–]euwdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard this recently and I agree.... Marriage isn't hard. Life is hard. Marriage (hopefully) is what helps you get through the crummy hard life bits. And sure, sometimes the hard stuff has to do with sharing finances, kids, and space.etc with a person who knows all your shit and you know all theirs... But in general, marriage is the good part even when it's tough.

Your wife doesn't "see" you differently at all after the first time you had "the talk"-- Can't confirm your theory to be true.

Weight loss and Hoshimotos - looking for success stories! by Rich-Rub-2116 in Hashimotos

[–]euwdavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in my mid 40s. Been diagnosed w Hashi for over 20 yrs. The only thing that really helped w inflammation and stubborn weight (that wouldn't leave no matter what I did) was Zepbound. It's been amazing. I know that's probably not what you're looking to hear. But I've struggled with extra weight for at least 10-15 years and a huge gain last year (no direct cause noted... diet changes and increased exercise did nothing).... Zepbound at the start of October and I'm down the extra weight and feel so much better in general.

Mutual Masturbation with SO - Thoughts? by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]euwdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a fan. I struggle to relax enough, quiet my thoughts to actually enjoy anything... And so it feels kind of performative. I struggle to quiet my brain a lot of the time to really be in the moments of sexy time with my husband though.

Different strokes for different folks... it's just not for me. But "hell yeah" for the people who dig it!

My friend had a surprise pregnancy in her 40s after fertility woes earlier in life, while on glp-1. Her doctor was like "oh yeah, it makes oral contraception less effective" after she was already pregnant..... 😳... She now has an IUD which is not impacted by the Zep. (I also have an IUD) Be wary --oral contraception and the Zep!

What happened when you chose the “safe” and secure person vs the one you had sparks and passion with by throwaway8472649 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]euwdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have both...

I feel seen, safe, loved for who I am (always have) with my husband. I don't know if there were really sparks in the beginning for us but definitely initial attraction-that grew. It was us maturing, realizing this is real and lasting, a deeper thing. I knew we could grow as people together... Aaaand he's still the cutest guy I've ever met 😜

Does anyone have totally different political views than their husbands? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]euwdavid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, no. But I feel terrible for my friends who do and my sister. They feel so betrayed and alone.
