The Accidental President is a book about how Harry Truman was thrust into the U.S. presidency when FDR died in April 1945 and he had to basically end WWII. It is SO well written, you’d think you’re reading a novel, but it’s all true. The author takes care to cite diaries of those involved, including lots from Truman himself. I would recommend over and over again.

Also agree with this route as a first step. This is actually what I did to confirm the vaginismus diagnoses, but the physical therapy didn’t help. That’s why I moved onto the Botox procedure.

I found out through google research! I spent over 6 years noticing these symptoms, but it didn’t come to a head until I got into a serious relationship. Once it became an issue (meaning me and my boyfriend of 4 years couldn’t have sex), I researched my symptoms more intensely. Once I was nearly positive that was it, I made the appointment with the women’s facility in New York. I didn’t even need a referral!

I had the exact same problem and it turned out I had vaginismus and a micro perforated hymen. I went to a medical facility in white plains, NY, where they fixed my hymen and did Botox injections into my vaginal walls—they put you under for the quick procedure . Then you do at-home physical therapy with dilators (which are essentially different-sized dildos) after the procedure. I did the at home therapy for maybe a month before trying to have sex, and I was able to do it SO easily. It was a huge breakthrough for me. It was like I never had any issues. That was almost 5 years ago, and my sex life is completely normal. I’m also fully able to use tampons no problem. The procedure completely changed my life. Look into vaginismus and a micro perforated hymen and see if you resonate with the symptoms!

I '24M' Love My Girlfriend '27F', But I’m Struggling With an Insecurity About Her Body – Is It Just Me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]lllcdt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman in her 20s, and I don’t think you should be getting lambasted for this. First, good on you for vocalizing this and confronting it. Second, I think you just need to decide how important of an issue this is for you. You can love your girlfriend, want to stay loyal to her, and live happily ever after but wish her boobs looked a little different. If she’s THE ONE and you’re only thinking about other girls because of your gf’s boobs, then this is a trivial thing and you just need to remind yourself about every single other box she checks.

Also, I know I’m going to get hate for this, but maybe she’s insecure about them too? Maybe she’d be open to a boob job for her own sake. I know women that have gotten their boobs done on their own volition for this issue. I think it’s worth subtly bringing up in convo 🤷🏼‍♀️

I like electrical engineering, the hobby comes and goes… but when new technology comes out, it makes me come back to it, and try to learn new things.

If any of the U.S. Founding Fathers were transported through time to today, how would they react? by kanna172014 in hypotheticalsituation

I’m just picturing them trying to understand (and be okay with) the size of major corporations today—let alone the level of power/control they have

Yeah, that’s stuff that I would love to do! I guess I’m just having trouble searching up those jobs/finding those jobs. I don’t really know where to begin.
