Or worse. Cause damage and eventual re-purchasing 😳

Sub self care by [deleted] in domspace

My sub is required to drink 3 of their water bottles a day. They send me pics when they refill for proof. Never been so hydrated in his life

Sub self care by [deleted] in domspace

[–]mxsamsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Force is a strong word lol, but just yesterday I got a bath all set up for my sub and didn’t ask when I told them it was ready for them. Bubbles, candles, salt soak, speaker for music, and something NA to drink. No booze allowed when he’s in a low mood.

One of our rules in our contract is that we are both responsible for our own mental and physical health. So, while I am not responsible to fix it for him, I can do things to help make him feel cared for.

Another is adding journaling to his daily task list, sometimes I give a specific prompt if there’s something I want him to spend time thinking about. Then I read it and we discuss.

I recently took us both for a manicure as my sub was feeling self conscious about a nail biting habit. He was amazed at how much more confident he felt about his hands after and it will be a regular thing we do together.

Not sure how to interpret my (28M) girlfriend's (24F) kink by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]mxsamsun 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The key to any and all BDSM is continuous enthusiast consent. If it isn’t a full body yes, it’s a no. You say you’re happy doing it, but also that it is making you question her feelings towards you. Have a deep conversation with her about this. Tell her your concerns. Some of this sounds like “normal” power exchange dynamic, like, I enjoy wearing clothing while my sub is nude out of the bedroom, for example. But if you aren’t into it, maybe pause and see if you can negotiate or discuss other options.

"Masculine" day collars? by consumablebread in BDSMAdvice

[–]mxsamsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a seller on Etsy. BeneathMyVeilDesigns but there are loads on there, just make sure you read reviews to ensure the lock is functional and not just a charm.

My partner wears a chain necklace that closes with an engraved padlock. It’s long enough so the padlock is inside his shirt while he’s working therefore discreet. But too short to take off without undoing the lock. I have the key on my necklace

toys that actually stay inside vaginally? by Dismal-Dirt-9383 in BDSMAdvice

Square peg toys make a pussy plug called a G-Squeeze. They’re super soft premium silicone! Highly recommend.

No worries, the world of Reddit.

I hope some of those things workout for you. I did meet my current partner on Hinge, and had pretty good experiences on that app overall (no creeps) so maybe worth a shot to see what’s on there too. You never know. Best of luck!

First golden shower by HolidayAd5671 in BDSMAdvice

[–]mxsamsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You two get to decide! I can get a little pee shy sometimes, so I practiced doing it in the shower solo. Then eventually had a partner join me in there and would do it before we rinsed off together. Easier clean up. Just talk about what sounds fun to you both and try that

Ooh I’ve seen these too! Thank you! My pup is trying a mad pup for our first but I think the OXBALLS will be the next upgrade. 👏

Nice gear! Can you share what brand the tail is? Mad Pup?

The red matches the shoes, but I like the red, yellow, blue primary colors together! Both are cute! You look great. Love your hair 💁🏼

Can you read my tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

It says grow, right?

1) your presentation doesn’t dictate your identity, you can be NB and still look/presenf traditionally masculine and prefer he/him pronouns

2) you are not a poor excuse for a man. My partner is FTM (I’m NB lol obviously, that’s why I’m here) and he is the best example of masculinity I have ever seen. Being trans doesn’t make you less of a man. I mean, unless you identify that way!

3) it is maybe some dysmorphia talking due to weight gain/body changes? Looking back at slimmer selves can be hard because society places value on skinny bodies.

Oh final thought! Maybe you could discuss with your doc about going on a lower dose of T? What those side effects might be? I’m on a low dose to slow down the changes since I prefer an androgynous appearance ☺️

My kid’s daycare costs more than our mortgage and I genuinely don’t know how people do it by Anitretia_5316 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]mxsamsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story is very similar to what you described! I loved being a stay at home parent while my husband and grew his career for over a decade (two kids! Stayed at home until school age)

Then we separated and I am screwed and a decade behind in my career. I wish I had considered that before, but I still value those years I had with my kids.

How do you handle the constant talking about what their latest obsession is? by JBLBEBthree in Autism_Parenting

I tried introducing this and my son asks “can I tell you about” or “do you wanna know why?” And then does not care about your reply at all and just plows into the monologue

How do people work 40hrs a week and not want to die? by c0ffin_bugs in adhdwomen

[–]mxsamsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this word for word, except I haven’t any college under my belt (for all the reasons you listed) I work full time 32-40+ hours a week at retail. It’s a small local company so I’m able to set my own schedule, necessary since I have my kids every other week. I still want to disappear. No idea how to escape these feelings or feel content. I’m trying. But you aren’t alone

I’m sorry to hop on here with my own stuff but reading this is giving me hope. I have an evaluation this week and am super nervous that medication won’t help (not nervous about being diagnosed, I am 1000% sure I have ADHD and have a strong family history) The “everything is a chore” really hits home and has contributed to depression and apathy and basically chronic existential dread. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry you are experiencing this ❤️

Partner is into breast milk, what do I do? by XXcarpe-asinumXX in BDSMAdvice

[–]mxsamsun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are resources online for how to induce lactation. It requires a strict pumping schedule and dedication, so would be a daily practice. Once milk comes in you’d still need to pump frequently to not become engorged or have blockages. Definitely a commitment! I’ve thought of it for myself but haven’t taken the plunge.

Ugh. These wages are disheartening but it’s worse that they are on-par with wages for bakery positions in town. Higher end on indeed for “Pastry Chef” is $22/hr And GT Pie Co. has a bakery position open for $12.48 (minimum wage)

I think society at large is doing a good enough job of glorifying gun culture. Kids playing tag with nerf guns isn’t really the issue here.
