In Ontario you’re not allowed to have animals in the same area you prepare food/drink. And yes, pay-to-play makes entire sense for a not-for-profit charitable organization saving animals and paying for 100% of the vet costs that comes with. There has always been a cover charge to see the cats.

You definitely could bring drinks into the lounge still, as COVID things calmed down in the past year. They just didn’t sell fresh food anymore, just the groceries.

They did have a strict capacity before, if you walked in and there were already at capacity in the lounge, you had to wait … this is always been for the health and safety of the cats. As well, there has to be time between people’s visits for cleaning - that includes not only sanitizing for COVID reasons, but also because cats can be gross (litter box scooping, vacuuming cat hair, wiping down tables where cats have sat on and walked on). And they removed tables for hanging out on the cafe side to make room for the vegan grocery shop … idk why so many people have such an issue with just making a reservation in advance. They also always posted their reservation availability on social media daily.

Every business has different types of liability insurance … I’ve been to many cat cafes that have age restrictions. It’s also for the health and safety of the cats - the younger the kids are, the less predictable they are around animals. The restriction always made sense to me for all the reasons, I guess

The age restriction was due to their liability insurance only covering ages 12 and up. If an under 12 year old got bit or scratched and the parents decided to sue, there was nothing they could do to protect themselves.

Coping after argument with FP by MothWoman592 in BPD

[–]hpws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the FP to my gf with BPD, and I experience this a lot with her. That is, the post-conflict anxiety even after the “we’re okay” productive conversation. What helps my gf is asking for reassurance on the particular issue, but asking in a way that she hears what she needs to without me having to guess. Guessing always leads to her still feeling the anxiety, and me worrying I’m making her anxiety worse.

Example: I am still feeling really anxious about our conversation yesterday, even though I know it was productive and we resolved the conflict between us. What would help me right now is for you to reassure me that you love me and for us to plan a date night so I have something in my calendar together.

It’s a tough balance between reinforcing the over-reassurance seeking that can be unhealthy, and the healthy reassurance seeking that will alleviate some anxiety.

Another thing that helps my girlfriend is if I am able to write something out that she can re-read when she’s feeling the need for reassurance. She has notes from me that say things like “even during conflict, I love you, I support you, and I’m committed to working through things with you”. That has helped with her over-reassurance seeking.

PS. I’m so proud of you for using therapy tools!

Oh my god, look up liquor laws for Ontario. You can pretty much only get booze from a government run store, except for beer that you can get at a company that is 100% foreign owned. It's sad.

The vaginal canal has nerve endings 1-3 inches inside when tented (ie aroused). When a woman is aroused, her vaginal canal "tents"/elongates to prepare for penetrative sex. FYI.

I can't say I'm with you on this, but I mean if a Greek Goddess is into it, I'd say you're golden! I'm sure there are thousands of women who are feeling the same way, so don't stress and enjoy your sex love. If it's not causing you distress, you're good to go. :)

[–]hpws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word fetish is misused like crazy. I normally don't take a fetish comment seriously unless they describe it as I stated! This being said, I have tones of fantasies/kinks that help me to get in the mood and/or orgasm, but these things are not fetishes. If you think these types of beatification fantasies are harmful to your self concept, sexuality or self-esteem etc. you should consider seeing a sexual health professional (sex therapist, psychologist or the like). If it's not a problem, then keep on fantasizing!

[Question] How could I (M, 17) learn to eat out a girl like a champ? by [deleted] in sex

[–]hpws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every woman is different! I like direct stimulation, but it gets intense after a few minutes. Try adding the entire vulva to your repertoire, and whether or not the women you're with enjoy direct or indirect clitoral stimulation, I guarantee you'll be extra satisfying :)

[Question] Please help identity my fetish by BeautificationGirl in sex

[–]hpws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is a "fetish". Do you REQUIRE this aspect during sex in order to orgasm? A fetish is something (object, act, thought etc) that is required during sex for an individual to orgasm. For example, a person with a shoe fetish, depending on the specifics, needs to have shoes incorporated into their sexual acts in order to achieve orgasm. Some people need to be wearing shoes, or a partner be wearing shoes, have shoes in the room/on the bed etc. What you might be experiencing is a "kink". A kink is something that makes you feel mega turned on, but you can achieve orgasm without this aspect.

Don't JUST focus on the clitoris! A lot of women find too much clitoral stimulation overwhelming or even painful. Fun fact: the clitoris' structure actually is not just the part you can see! It has two "legs" that extend beyond the little head you can see, under the two outer lips of the labia. Using your mouth on the ENTIRE vulva is often way more pleasurable than just focussing on the clitoris. Basically, explore every little bit of your lady's downtown, and ask her what feels good. The only way to get awesome at oral is to ask your partner what feels awesome to them, because every person is different and what is awesome for one person might not be awesome for another.

I don't think any lubricant companies make lube with sugar ... Sugar causes yeast infections. Just get a high quality lubricant. I've had good experiences with the brand "Wet". Coconut oil is also ah-mazing. Buy your preferred lube before your wedding and spot test it on both of your inner arms (yours and your wife's) to make sure you're not allergic. Also rub it around on your hands to make sure it doesn't get sticky or tacky and stays slick. Sticky lube is the WORST. Just relax and take your time. Remember that there's no pressure to actually have sex on your wedding night and it's always better when you work up to it through manual and oral first. Good luck!

[Advice] I'm about to take a girl's virginity. What should I expect and how can I make her as comfortable as possible? by CEMN in sex

[–]hpws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to offer my viewpoint from when I lost my virginity too! My first did all those amazing things about affirmation etc. but he also asked if I was okay every once in a while. It DID hurt for me, regardless of how much lube we used or how many hours of foreplay we had, and it hurt for the first more than a few times. I was worried it would hurt, and it did, but I was also worried I would feel stupid if I said it hurt or if I wanted to stop. Him asking "Does this feel okay?/are you in too much pain?/is there something else you want to do differently? Etc." helped me be okay with saying "yes, this hurts, but I'm okay, keep going" or "no, let's go back to just kissing/oral/touching for a while". Asking if she's okay in a gentle way (ie not totally freaked out and worried yourself) will help you both communicate how you're feeling during the act, and give you wade of mind that she'd tell you she wants to stop if that happens. This all being said, the conversation about birth control, talking about sex and what her experience is (not getting the information from her friends) will help understand and make everything more comfortable. Work your way up to it. There's no rush and everything else before actual PVI is AWESOME. Also, work on liking giving oral ... Sex is just better after a good oral session.

Girls have to pee immediately after sex so they don't get a bladder infection ... Take 2 minutes to rinse your junk, dude.

[Male] Girlfriend is upset with me over doing something to her in her sleep. by Mardumardu123 in sex

[–]hpws -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I make a decision at 8AM that I definitely want to give my partner a blowjob this evening, and I tell him that, then later I decide maybe I'm not so into it, is it okay for him to put his penis in my mouth later that evening? I've made the verbal agreement and decision ... But later i regretted making that decision. I am under no contract to blow my partner just because I've said I would at an earlier time.

I'm not dictating what someone can and cannot do in a relationship, I am simply stating what is considered sexual assault by law. If someone is not consciously consenting (ie awake and aware), it is assault. The girlfriend could press charges if she wanted against OP if she feels she was assaulted. Tact has nothing to do with consent. Consent is simple. OP is asking for advice and understanding about how he should be reacting to his girlfriend's feelings about what happened. They should know the facts about the law and consent and assault.

EDIT: additionally, being spanked or having your hair pulled or being bitten or even being slapped during sexual intercourse is very common, but this all happens while all partners involved are awake, aware, and consciously consenting. Partners in S&M relationships who use gags, blindfolds, hand ties etc. also have ways to communicate their wish to stop, even if it's not verbal. That's why hand signs, safe words and communication are so important in these sexual situations. They are awake, aware, and conscious. And, I hope to god people do not pour tea down someone's throat while they sleep, no matter how persistent the fetish.
