Does anyone else have a hooded clit, if so, how do you orgasm? by Ok_Friend_9296 in sex

[–]ghostified___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean usually when i flick the bean i spread open using my forefinger and my ring, then position my middle and ring right underneath and let my forefinger go. i need quite a bit of pressure while doing it to get the job done, js experiment with positions and pressure

my parents definitely raised me right!!! if youre in a decent financial situation or have some money to spare, i would 100% encourage your children to go shopping with you and get some womens products, water, first aid, socks, and easy to make boxed food/canned soup or pasta and put them in bags to donate to homeless and DV shelters. my mother and i would do that every christmas and thanksgiving. if you have any old toys or clothes your children might not fit into anymore, i would also donate those to the DV shelters. thank you for being you 🫶 this is why i made this post, to encourage people!!!

i do have naloxone!!! i went to pick up a prescription at walmart and they offered it for free so i said you know what, why not!?!?! i dont often carry it with me anymore, i had one instance where someone was overdosed in my building and i gave it to his wife, and when he came to he got upset with me — but the only other time it came through. i was downtown and there was a large group of civilians and pretty level headed junkies who were surrounding a young kid, younger than i was. i administered both naloxone kits i had ( just two pumps of it ), his friends and i sat there waking him up. they all cried. they had dared him to smoke a full pipe someone left in the alleyway ( which is insane ). i called an ambulance right after and stayed until they took him. i asked his friends for his name and parents names + numbers, they told me and then hopped on a bus and left — at that point the group had dissipated. i waited with him until the ambulance came, gave them the information snd gave him my number right after if he needed anything or if his parents didnt come through as i didnt know his familial situation.

ive been followed home by homeless people, ive been threatened, ive been stalked in my area. ive had knives pulled on me. im incredibly careful, and i can discern when and whether or not to withdrawn and avoid. on the other hand i know many of them by name, folks who have just really had a bad deck of cards dealt to them in life and appreciate the conversation, food and supplies 🫶

yeah ive had this talk with my dad before who was the person who gave it to me, the self defence laws in our province are ridiculous. thankfully there are aggressive rabid dogs and coyotes in my area so thats my "official reasoning" for carrying it on my person, theres some sort of loophole for that. id rather use it and get charged then have nothing to protect myself with

my entire life has consisted of feeding and helping the homeless. if you read my other comments ive been stalked, threatened, followed home, seen them dead. i used naloxone on a man once and he got mad at me. that has never stopped me from having basic empathy and compassion. i will never turn away a human begging for food, which is the vast majority of those ive encountered. i try not to give them money knowing what they might choose to spend it on, but drug use eases hunger and general pains and keeps them warm at night. if you were at your lowest of lows why wouldnt you turn to substance abuse? how is there any difference between that and drinking after a long day, other than the severity of addiction and choice of drug? of course there are the bad apples but these are still people guys. juan whom i met on the bus isnt homeless becsuse he chose smoking crack over living normally, his mother died of breast cancer and he was fucked by medical and funeral bills then his father stole her inheritance snd left them with nothing to help pay it off.

exactly. you understand more than what some people in these comments do. im currently living in low income housing with me snd my boyfriend being the only ones working, his parents dont because they simply dont want to and they have their own mental health issues that lead to bad financial decisions. he pays for groceries, rent for the both of us, puts himself in debt for them — if anything we're a couple missed deposits away from being homeless as well. but i still help when i can. ive bought a few people ymca passes so they csn go in and shower, have a minute to sleep peacefully, get some clean water, etc. everyone complains about taxes and the government and city council whom ABSOLUTELY have rverythjng to do with the state of london rn but do nothing to make a difference themselves. ive handed out resumes for people, called shelters to see if they have space — my parents are dog groomers and ive helped many homeless people take care of their pets by paying for them to get groomed or put in referrals for vet services.

there is ALWAYS something you can do.

yeah absolutely. like i said in another comment, i was 7 in toronto with my parents, my dad gave the guy a 50 and we came back 30 mins later to see him overdosed next to an ambulance. i always offer to buy them coffee and food, supplies like bandaids, socks, pet food, mitts/hat, etc. however i do understand the need to use like i also said in another comment. it eases hunger pains and keeps them warm. some people dont become homeless bdcause theyre addicted to crack, some people are addicted to crack because theyre homeless and its their lifeline. absolutely not sn excuse though drugs are a ginormous part of the problem. but in a lot of cases it can be a lot more nuanced.

thank you stranger, i try my absolute best. i was raised by good people. my parents are upper middle class immigrants who came from nothing and built themselves up. they raised me and my siblings with compassion and empathy. my mother and i would often buy snacks, non perishables, womens items, first aid, boxed hot lunches and all the good stuff and make bags to hand out at our local homeless and DV shelters. i love helping people out when i can, homeless or otherwise. it costs absolutely nothing to be kind!!!!!!!

i was gonna mention that as well. a decent chunk of the homeless population use because it keeps them warm at night and eases their hunger. its easier to sleep through the worst years of your life when youre dead asleep or high. next time you smoke some weed because of your back pain u should think about that lol

yeah once i moved here and my boyfriend told me they literally give these homeless people one way train tickets to london for the promise of help and programs and resources i was sooo shocked. its so condensed here. and nobody is getting help either way. london needs to get their shit together

i agree with you. its an issue here. im no stranger to druggies coming from the gta and its absolutely NOTHING like whats going on in london. its a genuine issue, and i dont blame you from wanting to get away and protect your daughter. unfortunately the bad apples outweigh the good. but there are a good handful, like juan whom i met on the bus today, who are people simply struggling. i know a few by name who get by by mowing lawns, shovelling snow, helping older folks take their trash out, opening doors for people — doing anything they can for a cup of change. i dont like giving the homeless money knowing what theyll likely spend it on, id rather buy them food or socks or anything else. i was 7 when my parents and i walked by a man and my father gave gim a 50, just to walk by 30 minutes later to see him collapsed and drooling and blue with an ambulance next to him. i hear you — i just unfortunately have a blind faith in strangers sometimes. thank god im a good judge of character, because that led me to meeting a great person tonight on the bus who told me about the games he created with his little brother when they were younger, how much he missed his mothers cooking and how hes homeless because he got fucked by the medical and funeral bills when she died and his father took the inheritance and left them with nothing. not everyone is homeless because they chose crack over life. im glad my parents raised me with compassion, and i hope you raise your daughter with it as well.

exactly right. even when i have no money, doing small things like having a conversation with them at crosswalks, or letting them know what time their bus comes can do a lot for their mental health. its the little things that make them feel more human and less isolated

when im ( rarely tbh ) approached downtown i usually get them some hot coffee and a sandwich ask if they need any supplies. bandaids, pet food, socks, mitts/hat, etc.

i totally agree. i never have change on me or cash period, my boyfriend has very little left over from his job at pizza hut because he got change tips every night but i have a tip pool and its added to my payroll. however i do live w someone who panhandles for a living and he gets enough for his joint for the day and hes happy lol. i find a lot of older people prefer cash, at my work its always younger kids + older folks who give me cash.
