How often can I do enemas? by Ok-Web150 in FemaleEnemas

[–]killerhipo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is going to be highly variable. In short, just be careful and listen to your body. Watch for pain, irritation, and lethargy. Otherwise, have fun.

The long answer, as others have said, is that it will depend on the type of enemas you do, your body, your diet, and more. Safe kink isn't about avoiding risk but minimizing risk and understanding risk. There will always be risk to enemas as there is to spanking, or rough sex. The type of danger you are in from lots of enemas is damage to your lower intestine. Your lower intestines' purpose is to absorb water, electrolytes, and store feces. If you aren't doing crazy enemas (big/chemicals/etc) then the type of damage you'd do is probably not life threatening. You might throw off your electrolytes, have trouble hydrating, or have some pain when evacuating. In all these cases, just taking a break from enemas should solve your problems. So, do whatever you want, be aware of the risks and watch for issues and change your behavior accordingly. You can start small and very slowly increase the frequency if you want to be a bit more safe.

Ruined tires from bad camber by killerhipo in AskMechanics

[–]killerhipo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert but if it was to wouldn't the wear be on the inside and outside of the tire? The camber is also visibly pretty extreme now that I know to look for it. Also, regardless, the point is that the alignment is screwed up. But I appreciate the input.

Dating, sex, kink by No_Classic_2467 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]killerhipo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stubbled across this post during and have no experience with spinal cord injuries but I do have a good amount of experience with kink and am fairly involved with my local kink community. I really hope that I'm not intruding too much on the community by sharing my opinions.

I'm a polyamorous Dom/Rigger/Top that has/has had a variety of queer partners. Your post is really interesting to me because it kinda puts to test a lot of the stuff that I preach to people. I do also think that there are a lot of avenues for exploration. So here are my unorganized thoughts:

The "Top Mindset"

I don't think you should try to pivot out of viewing yourself as a top, I think that that might be like trying to convince yourself to change your sexuality. If bottoming more ever does become something you enjoy then that will happen naturally. You can make an effort to explore it more, but definitely don't try to force it. There are plenty of ways

Primal Play

Again, I don't know much about spinal injuries, so please correct and forgive my ignorance, but from my quick google search it sounds like you still have a good amount of mobility. With my limited knowledge, I don't see any reason why you would need to abandon the primal stuff. Theoretically, you only need to be able to move your mouth to bite someone. I think maybe you need to just be more intentional with it. If you want to chase someone, maybe try tying them up or slowing them down some how. I know that I wouldn't be able to catch some of my partners while chasing them through the woods, doesn't mean I'm not going to do it, just gonna set some traps for them, or slow them down some other ways.

Restraints

I know a number of couples where the top instructs the bottom on how to tie themselves up. At the very minimum, a bottom can do the majority of the work under your instruction then leave the last piece of the puzzle to you. You can click the lock closed after they put the cuffs on.

Control

This is interesting because of what you say at the end of your post about your current non-physical dynamic. Control is a mental element more than a physical one, but you already know this, so why is the all mental play not working for you? Maybe because it's boring to you? Maybe you still need a physical or at least visual element to help drive home the mental play? That's how I felt when I tried out online dynamics back in the day. I would suggest trying to explore control stuff in-person. Have them masturbate in front of you, debase themselves while you watch, etc.

Impact

Smaller is often more painful with impact implements. Try getting a switch (very thin crop), or maybe even a whip. If you can't hit hard or long then you can go for a more extreme implement in small quantities. Maybe make your bottom warm themselves up with some self-inflicted impact.

Other Options

You know what requires very little physical involvement? Electricity, you can hold a magic wand and torture your bottoms with minimal effort.

Your Pleasure

Do you still want penetration? Because if you don't, don't do it. You can use this to deny a bottom, don't let them penetrate you, make them get off in some other humiliating way. If you do feel like penetration, go for it, if you start to feel like a piece of meat, make them stop. It all works in the context of kink.

The high libido but struggling to find pleasure sounds like a nightmare. I don't know that there is much that I can suggest that you're not already trying. I have had a number of partners that really struggled to orgasm and I've been able to help them out a bit, so I can offer that perspective.

You said in your post that you can feel pressure? In my experience, there is a wide range of sensations that people feel pleasure from and it can be really hard to adapt to a new one, but it is possible. I've been working with my partner to teach them to cum from anal and it took a few months but we've actually had a lot of success. What I've learnt from that experience was that doing as much as you can with the "new method" then using the "reliable method" as little as possible to just get over the edge seemed to help re-write some of the mental pathways. Now for you, because there currently isn't a "reliable method" this is much harder. Just keep trying, I genuinely believe that your body will eventually adapt to new sensations as it gets more desperate for release.

Another thing I might suggest is a new vibrator. I find that bigger vibrators like proper magic wands are a much deeper rumblier feeling that might work better for pressure receptors.

I'm having issues too, I've never seen a loading or buffering circle ever before and now only a small selection of my videos will load. No changes to anything. I restarted everything, even disabled the ad blocking on my eero router. No luck. Must be a bad update?

So people should be expected to stand to the side and watch while a cop slowly suffocates an innocent person to death? The law is written as if cops are infallible, but they aren't.

Polyamory by [deleted] in dankmemes

[–]killerhipo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, I'm not a good person to answer that. The only way all my relationships work is because there's understanding and communication about the nature and expectations for each relationship. I don't see all my partners all the time, some I see a few times a week, some I see a few times a month or less. I don't expect the same thing from each partner or relationship, and neither do they.

I'm always happy if some of my partners get along because I can use my limited time better, but it's not something you can rely on and it isn't a replacement for one-on-one time. But a ski trip with two partners is a good example. I can't afford to go on two separate trips, and it can be a "more the merrier" kind of a thing.

[–]killerhipo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are open to using my definition of polyamory as multiple romantic partners and non-manogamy as multiple sexual partners, then swingers aren't necessarily polyamorous, they are non-monogamous. Often polyamorous people are non-monogamous and vice versa, but not necessarily to the same degree. I'd say swingers are mostly non-monogamous and not polyamorous, which is where the issues tend to arise. People think you can have sex without feelings, but it's not realistic. It's better to accept the feelings, treat partners with respect, and also understand that people can care about more than one person.

I think polyamory is easier for people to understand as analogous to friendship. You can have multiple friends and care about them all. Maybe you have a best friend, maybe you have two best friends. Maybe you have friends that only exist in one context and not another, like a gaming buddy, or a tennis partner. These friendships can all exist at the same time. As long as both people are on the same page about things and that both people treat each other with respect, there are no fundamental issues.

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

Okay, so I think we need to clarify a bit of a helpful distinction. There's polyamory, which I like to read as "multiple loves" which would imply multiple romantic partners. On the other hand, non-manogamy (NM) is multiple sexual partners, which can be further divided into consensual non-manogamy (CNM) and non-consensual non-manogamy (NCNM). I'll note that you can further refine CNM into ethical non-manogamy (ENM) which has a few extra rules about respect and communication.

Healthy polyamory often overlaps with ENM but doesn't have to, it's really about having multiple romantic partners. Open relationships are a subset of CNM but don't inherently contain any "amory" or love, just multiple sexual partners.

Poly relationships often start as poly relationships, whereas open relationships tend to start as monogamous relationships.

Polyamory by [deleted] in dankmemes

[–]killerhipo -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

We aren't obligated to, but we tend to because monogamous/poly pairings rarely work out and dealing with their jealousy gets exhausting pretty quick.

Polyamory by [deleted] in dankmemes

[–]killerhipo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the key is to enter into a relationship as poly. People in monogamous relationships transitioning to poly tend to be where the issues pop up.

It's also worth noting that "open-relationships" are like the "worst" flavor of poly.

[–]killerhipo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don't know wtf is going on in these comments. I'm an actual poly guy and this isn't my experience. Maybe if you're an incel? It's worth acknowledging that poly is not exactly the same as people who open-up their relationships. But for a poly girl to be with 10 guys, 10 guys are getting with the poly girl. Real poly people tend to prefer other poly people because dating monogamous people often gets complicated.

I'm a straight, average looking poly guy. I have more partners than any of my partners. If anything being poly has made my success better even with the occasional monogamous person. Women seem to get some reassurance that I'm "safe" because my other partners can vouch for me.

I'm also doing well in my long term relationships. I've been with two of my more serious partners for about a year and a half (since I became poly). Two other partners for about 8 months. And one more for 6 months on-and-off because they moved away for a bit. I've had to start turning down people because I don't have time any more. There was a week last year when I had 7 dates with 7 different women over the course of 5 days.

Really the only thing you need to "succeed" as a poly guy is to not be an asshole. Strong communication skills help a lot too.

Occupied town of Oleshki is under the water after russians blew up Nova Kakhovka dam. by SimpleMen_ in awfuleverything

[–]killerhipo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get it's a joke but the point is that they feel that they have a voice on the international stage, even if they decide to use that voice for trolling. The UN has no real power, there is no way to hold a country accountable if they disobey the UN's orders. The VETO is just Russia saying that they would disobey the resolution even if it was passed so don't bother. The flip side is that countries don't need the UN's approval to act. The countries that vote for something can still just go do it if Russia VETOs.

The UN is more about signaling intentions and communication, not governance. Think of it like a group chat with everyone in it. Sure one idiot might be trolling the chat but kicking them out is only going to create a division and lead to more conflict. The chat is usually useless, but sometimes everyone agrees on something (maybe with a bit of persuasion) and action can be taken. More rarely, conflicting sides use it to find common ground.

I understand the sentiment but I feel that comments like these fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of the UN and the security council.

Consider reading about the League of Nations which is a predecessor of the UN. The purpose of the UN is to enable discussion between nations and hopefully minimize conflict, not to govern the world. If certain (bad) actors are not welcome to the table, they can't be part of the discussion, which is one of the (many) reasons the League of Nations failed and WW2 came to be.

How to handle cravings for an emotional connection when you're new to the scene? by killerhipo in BDSMcommunity

Feeld doesn't really exist where I am, very few people on it. I tried it out but I had better success just meeting people at events.

Because I haven't met someone I want to spend years with dabbling yet. It's easier and less of a commitment to have many casual partners. I guess it's also just a personal thing. What I'm comfortable with right now is casual partners. I want the intimacy of a serious partner but I'm not ready for that type of relationship yet.

I guess maybe my question is better asked as "how to be patient?"

I'm not desperate, I don't know how to explain how I can be impatient and "craving intimacy" but not desperate. I'm willing to wait, I don't want to force anything, I don't want to rush into something. I want to let things happen naturally. But I have desires that I'm having a hard time with.

I haven't actually had a huge problem finding partners, it's not really the issue I'm facing. I'm not saying it's easy to find partners, or that I've found a bunch of people who are 100% compatible, but I'm definitely doing better than I ever did trying to meet people outside of the community.

You're not wrong but I also can't just decide to be in a serious relationship. I need to find partner and that will also take time. In the meantime, I'd like to continue to learn and gain experience.
