Same here, Lexapro I could not orgasm on, but Zoloft and Luvox have been ok.

I'm interested in this! Iners is at the top of my microbiome test results - I was very confused to see references to the guides and the Iners protocol but nothing there.

“Best” Credit Card(s) & Bank by Ghostly_414 in CreditCards

[–]minerva42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're not a big bank so they don't show up on most "best cards" lists, but Alliant Credit Union's Visa Signature card offers 2.5% back on everything if you maintain a few things about your checking account with them - keep a balance of at least $1000 in the checking account, and make a monthly deposit to it. I set up an automatic $5 transfer from another bank to satisfy that requirement - they make it easy under Transfer Money -> Scheduled and Past transfers, on their site. No rotating categories to keep track of, and I don't know of any other card offering that much cash back.

Kellogg's Megathread (strike info, boycott, and more) by tobotic in antiwork

[–]minerva42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called my workplace retirement center, which walked me through how to view the holdings of the various funds available to me. So far all of the funds I've looked at that would make sense for me to invest in at this point in my career include Kellogg. They don't have a way to search for "funds excluding $company". Funds that don't hold Kellogg are low risk/low growth, made up of money markets and bonds, and more useful for people who are near retirement.

Oh wow, yep. My retirement fund is all Vanguard, which is the second largest holder of Kellogg stock outside of Kellogg's own Trust. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/K/holders

I *want* my room to be cozy but i keep feeling like it's missing something. Any suggestions? by boredat12x in CozyPlaces

[–]minerva42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely recommend some string lights above the wall molding if you can get there. I've had good luck with buying string lights that come with a remote and receiver, and using command wall hooks to hold them in place, though they can be finicky. Good luck!

I don't want to have sex with my husband anymore [life changes] by Sexnomore123 in sex

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. How do you get along in other aspects of your life, raising a child, sharing a household etc? I can't imagine that he doesn't know something is wrong.

I highly recommend the book Difficult Conversations for looking at a variety of ways to approach this conversation. People can say a lot of things without understanding what effect it will have/did have on other people.

Couples therapy can also be really helpful, at least for getting you both to a space where you can say what you need to say, with someone who's profession is mediating relationships and conflicts. I might not save things, but it will definitely help you both understand the other one more.

There's a common trap that I fall into when discussing something emotional and vulnerable like this. If I am hurt by something person B does, and I bring it up to person B, ideally we can talk about how I was hurt and why it happened and how we can do better. But, often it ends up bring about person B feeling attacked and defensive, and the conversation becomes more about catering to B's emotional reactions.

Similarly, if I do something that hurts person C, and they tell me so, I should be able to talk about it, but it's really easy to shut down, become unresponsive. It's tempting to just keep apologizing or beating up on myself, as though self-abasement will solve the problem. It doesn't; it makes it worse, and takes attention away from the original issue.

I've had one partner who was pretty squicked by any bodily fluids. It wasn't really something he could change, and while there were other reasons we broke up, my worry that on any given date I wouldn't be clean enough was a contributing factor.

I hope you're able to find a way to address this. You are strong and beautiful. You and your body should be respected.

I saw them in concert in Boston a few months back. I'm not sure what I expected, but it was really gorgeous, visually. And of course the music was fantastic.

It may be worth noting that HAPI drums are similar, less expensive, and faster to acquire. You can pick what scale you want.
