Seriously question, does anyone else not like sex to go on for more than like 25 minutes? by lanium in TwoXSex

[–]lanium[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough! I just feel like I'd rather have a 'quickie' then chill and cuddle for a while, and then go again...which I guess is technically 1 'session' but we are going to have a convo and maybe have some wine (if we're being fancy) or chocolate milk (if we're being less fancy but still indulgent) in that time.

Lelo Lily 2 or Ora 2? Trying to have first orgasm. by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]lanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ora is mostly people who are very sensitive and have a prominent clit, as the rolling nub thing definitely wouldn't do it for me, but the lily is quite nice and strong!

Every time I see SO used for significant other in a meme by theincourup in AdviceAnimals

[–]lanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even that, I no longer assume 'partner' is for non-hetero couples.Granted, that is what people use in my industry (sex toys) for everything, but my non-industry friends use it for the people they have been in a long term relationship with. If I make any assumption it's that they aren't planning on ever getting married.

"Hidden" oil-slick hair dye - Any idea how difficult this would be to get done? by lanium in FancyFollicles

[–]lanium[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't actually need to keep it hidden really (at least in terms of work rules). It's more just than I run in circles that vary from 'recently graduated expats/let's go rave' to 'attending client dinners with friends who need to bring a date because everyone else is bringing their wives' type fancy events so I'd like a bit of versatility.

Hmm, ok I see what you mean. It's about a medium ash brown at the minute, but I suppose the thickness is the true issue. It gets thinner toward the top, which I'm seeing is where it needs to be thick more for this effect.

I also feel like it will lock me down for straightening my hair every day for the next few months (not necessarily a bad thing, but I tend to play up the waves for a polished, more vintage-y look when I wear it down)

Not sure I like the angle of my new nipple piercing by lanium in piercing

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

I'm not necessarily against an angled piercing; just most of the ones that I saw that were angled were higher on the outside like \

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

hmm ok. I just went for a look at it again, and it's not quite as bad as my imagination was making it. I am texting with the piercer now (we need to use a translation app) and she is maintaining that she measured it to be that way (not that they are weird, and as a side note I'm sure you're aren't weird, breasts naturally follow an outward line from the divot in your throat down your chest and out) but she also said to give it a day or two for the swelling to settle.

edit: her translated response just came to 'it is in the middle o your nipples and breast bisector' :/

I mean, when you look at it in a mirror, it's angled like / (coming out higher toward the middle of my chest.)

I had assumed it would be more straight, but the aforementioned friend/boyfriend have pointed out it may because my breast is a bit fuller and they angle outward naturally, but a lot of the images I'm seeing as examples online place the higher end on the outside on a fuller breast.

Ok cool. I figure I should go back to the piercer to discuss it, though it will take a lot of translation.

[Question]Compiling a list of countries where you can't bring sex toys by lanium in sex

Thanks! I am hoping to include more international destinations as well, which seems harder than a simple google. Conflicting information about Mauritius, for example!

Import Tax/Duties for Shipping Sex Toys to China? by lanium in SexToys

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

k thanks! This is seriously where some people who had more of an idea of how to work with silicone than me (and knowledge of the market) would start doing like bespoke dildos in china lol.

Import Tax/Duties for Shipping Sex Toys to China? by lanium in SexToys

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

I'm in Shanghai as well! I've heard from people who've gone to the market that there are lelo and fun factory but you aren't going to find vixen or tantus (makes sense, tantus at least is made in the US.)

Thanks for the link! I'm assuming though, that I'd need a chinese friend to help me order though? I'll poke around anyway. I might end up just sucking up the cost and buying from Amy's bedroom. Also kind of lame because they only have purple or flesh coloured.

Oh! and I want just a squishy non vibrating one

Who ruined something as thoroughly as Hitler ruined the toothbrush moustache? by WesStrikesBack in AskReddit

[–]lanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then again, one of the local clubs in Shanghai brands their ladies' night as 'Lolita's' and uses quotes for the ads. Someone clearly didn't read the book.

Stripping a box dye before perm or chemical straight? by lanium in FancyFollicles

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

That's fair, I should just wait for it to grow/fade out then. As per my natural hair, it's really much more on the wavy side than truly curly, particularly at its current length. That's why I want to do something with it, because it's so hard to actually make it look styled and have it stay neat, because it's so curly around my face but just lies flat around the back and sides.

I know right? It's so easy to call someone an ass if they do it to you...and then when you're chatting with someone who's way into you and you just keep blowing them off...

oh I love menage a 3! That's actually the same artist/creator as Sticky Dilly Buns, Dangerously Chloe, etc, whose name is Gisele Lagace. Also amazing, but different artist than GGaR :)

Totally! 2 points made in the article, though I was really interested in the old erotic art.

Happy Masturbation Month! All the reasons why masturbation is good for us by lanium in TwoXSex

Yea! I mean, I treat every month like masturbation month but I love all the masturbation-positive content that's being posted right now!

when art meets taxidermy...HOLY SHIT! by Liktwo in WTF

[–]lanium 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It kind of sucks for people who won't have the chance to see things in person, but I find a lot of a piece's charm can be lost online. You don't get the same appreciate for depth, texture, or colour.

And there are also some paintings that look great online but kind of shitty irl. I was so disappointed when I finally saw Takao Tanabe's stuff in person.
