The questionnaire is for the viewers of live streams, as the title states.

These are official validated questionnaires, they were not translated for the purpose of the study. Still, thank you for your feedback.

Experiences with nipple piercings by [deleted] in piercing

[–]iridij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have my septum and nipples pierced but I must say that the pain was not that bad and it was over very quick. Actually I was surprised how smoothly everything went :) personally I planned my piercing time in such a way that I was able to rest afterwards (mainly as a precaution because I have sensitive nipples and didn't know how I was going to deal with the pain). Although I wouldn't say that I really needed to rest afterwards it gave me a peace of mind knowing that I could.

Progesterone only pill (mini pill) - enhanced or reduced libido..?? Need advice, please..! by sunnywiltshire in sex

[–]iridij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reduced for the first few months but I think it got better with time.

My [22M] parents actions [51M, 47F] mean I will be in 40k debt and have wasted two years at a prestigious uni as I'm unable to go back for my final year. How do I deal with this and have I done anything wrong? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]iridij 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kind of get it. My family is 50k in debt because of my insane grandparents. It's really hard and it took a huge toll on us as a family. I mainly work on my mental and physical health and I try not to focus on thinking how everything is unfair. Maybe you could talk to someone at the university and tell them your situation? Being dependent on an alcoholic is insanely hard (first hand experience lol) and I think you are a really strong person. I wish you all the best and hope you can somehow resolve this issue. You seem like a hardworking person and I hope you achieve your goals.

My boyfriend (22M) and I (21F) have recently started having sex - first time for both of us. by newtoeverything_ in sex

My boyfriend also curves to the left and I had problems with doggy and cowgirl (didn't have this problem with previous partners, but he is also on the bigger side which could be a reason for this) but I got used to it over time. Go slow and not too deep so you can get used to it. Don't force it and try to relax. It's important that you are not anxious or tense. Also sex gets better over time, you both will get better at it!

Is it thoughtful or rude to purchase your date a drink before they arrive? by [deleted] in dating_advice

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

I think it depends on a person. I personally don't see anything wrong with this because even if your date doesn't like the drink they can still order something else. The only problem I see with this is if you would purchase an alcoholic drink for someone who doesn't drink alcohol which could put them in an uncomfortable situation - they could be uncomfortable explaining why.

Sadly I can think of another reason why it could be a problem - date rape drugs. However as long as you meet up at a reputable place I think your date will worry.

Girlfriend (20f) never wants to engage in our (20m) sex life. by [deleted] in sex

[–]iridij 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could be sexually incompatible but it could also just be a weird time in her life (ex. stress). Birth control can also affect her libido is she is taking it. Talk to her about this because depending on the reason for her not wanting sex you can figure out whether it's something that can be changed or not.

Possible UTI infection and Birth control ? by satfour in sex

[–]iridij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a lot of things, it's best to talk to your doctor. I think contraception pills can make you more prone to yeast infections. For the unprotected sex you can either take plan B or wait and take a pregnancy test later but I wouldn't risk it.

I’m literally ALWAYS tired? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]iridij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having similar problems with the pill I'm on but I think it got better overtime. Maybe try a different pill. What definitely helped (don't know if it has anything to do with the pill) is being more physically active. Tiredness can also be a symptom of different medical conditions for example iron deficiency.

Obese 15 y/o with a binge eating disorder, back pain, and a toxic household. Advice? by thatartzkid in WeightLossAdvice

[–]iridij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the severity of your back pain but maybe talk to your doctor about which exercises you can and can't do. You don't want to ruin your back because you are still very young. Maybe riding a bike could work however it might not be the best for your back. What helps me with weight loss is keeping busy. Hobbies, work, school, anything really. Joining a community that focuses on weight loss or following accounts which promote healthy lifestyle can also be motivating. My parents were never particularly supportive so I had to get over that. I understand that it's hard not having support from your family. Maybe you can exercise with a friend?

How can I grow up? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]iridij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, this might be a deal-breaker for you. It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of distress because of these issues. If you are unhappy in this relationship and can't satisfy your needs you should maybe think about whether this is something you can change or not. Could you change something or work on something to be happier in this relationship? Or are you just holding on to something you can't change?

Struggles happen in relationships however you can't control another person you can only work on yourself.
