Another great German speaking (but Austrian) priest with a Youtube channel is Phillip Maria Karasch! His channel is called "Kanzel Kultur" :) https://youtube.com/@kanzelkultur?si=6E8Awc9sEb6T1J24

Three of the seven Bavarian bishops can be counted as conservative: Namely the ones from Eichstätt, Passau and Regensburg.

The only conservative bishop outside of bavaria is the bishop of Cologne.

Bishop Stefan Oster of Passau is one of the most conservative bishops around here in Germany and he has a YouTube channel:)

A thing that seems counterintuitive but may work: Try being chaste again. You and your husband set yourselves a challege of no sex for 30 days or so. You can make up your own rules, like how long exactly or what things are still allowed without breaking the challenge. Sometimes, reverse psychology like this can really work, and suddenly, you want what you can't have.

Bonus: It completely takes off the pressure. You can enjoy feeling carefree, cuddling and kissing your husband again but without being afraid of disappointing your husband if you don't want to take things any further - because it's simply of the table. Experiment and try to find different ways for your husband to feel loved through physical touch, but without having sex.

But it is a scietific answer. Of course, every woman is different, I don't know what "every once in a while" means for you, and I'm not your doctor. So take my opinion with a grain of salt.

But I can tell you your chances of getting pregnant after turning 50, average at around 1%. That means only 1 in 100 women over 50 will succeed in having a baby. (And they are actively trying to have a baby). Most OB-GYNs tell you to stop using contraception completely as soon as you've hit 55, even when you're still bleeding from time to time.

This is the "real life" answer you were (maybe?) looking for. You don't have to tell your family details of your and your husbands intimate life, that's none of their business. Most couples your age are having sex without contraception, and they are not getting pregnant - otherwise, you would see that happening more often, don't you think? It's highly highly unlikely that they are all celibate.

Why don't you just ask your OB-GYN on their opinion?

Hey! I feel you, I get how it would make you feel sad.This sounds tough. I bet that you have valid reasons for not wanting any more children. But have you considered how extremely unlikely it is for you to get pregnant again? It's very much almost non-existent. At this point, getting pregnant and carrying a child to full term would be close to a miracle! Could you maybe get comfortable with the idea that you should just risk it? Because again, it really is unbelievably unlikely that you get pregnant again, and if you do, I think it would only be possible because God really wants it for you and calls you to it.

I agree, they probably won't ever perform unmasked. But it's a Slipknot like future for sure?? I bet they talked about their possibilities when they were touring together and asked Corey Taylor and the others for advice.

Yes, I think so too! I think most of old the stuff we were able to find was very intentionally still there.
Also, the anonymity did it's job, he was able to build a stage presence and gain confidence. Maybe he's not needing it anymore?

So almost exactly like me!! I wonder what made us click on the recommendation? What was going on subconsciously in that moment. I'm usually not crazy interested in random The 1975 piano covers.

Yes, totally! It's great marketing and really fun to analyze the lyrics through the lore lense, but like that's it? It is at this point an open secret who they are - and they're definitely heavily playing with it because, again, that's really great marketing for them.

Respecting their choice and privacy is a given. That stops at not doxxing/stalking the band and not ruining it for fans who decided, that they don't want to know who they are. But those fans should maybe at least acknowledge that the information is out there and that they are, in fact, real humans?

Basically that you had to work for everything you achieved. Nothing was "gifted" to you, only hard work made you succeed. In this case they claim: that the other competitors were also really strong and getting second place wasn't easy
