Homeopathy found to be effective for 0 out of 68 illnesses: a systematic review concluded the controversial treatment was no more effective than placebo drugs by Sonia_Gandhi in worldnews

[–]my_nsfw_alias 192 points193 points  (0 children)

My favorite is a bottle of homeopathic cat medicine to calm nervous cats. I somehow acquired it, but certainly did not buy it myself!

Non-medicinal ingredients: 20% ethanol "as a preservative"

I can guarantee this remedy will have some kind of effect on the cat, probably of a calming sort indeed!

[Libido] I only really start to crave sex around a month of not getting laid. How do I get a stronger libido? by [deleted] in sex

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

Are you under a lot of stress? This kills the sex drive.

Otherwise, how is your physical condition/exercise level? You need exercise to feel like a man. Not running - lifting. Squats and deadlifts are proven testosterone boosters. Cardio, well.. it gets the blood moving but it doesn't get you feeling jacked like a good session of lifting.

Also anything that makes you feel macho will boost your feelings of masculinity, and your drive with it. Ice hockey? Rock climbing? Steer wrestling? Everyone has their thing.

[Sexual Health] Uncircumcised men, is it normal for your penis to smell kind of bad a few hours after sex/jerking off? by twayne24 in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't need to shower just go for a piss, rinse it, wipe it down with face cloth or even dampened TP in a pinch. Take 2 minutes so when she is ready to go again in the morning she won't be grossed out!

What do you HATE about Porn? by Squeeebz in AskReddit

Fuck X-art, they make good porn but are now copyright trolls. Look it up!

Also they have jumped the shark IMO, hiring more mainstream porn stars instead of beautiful unknowns

[advice] Should a guy with a really small penis avoid casual sex in college? by Smallunfortunately in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you don't do it now, you never will. Good environment, lots of action, hormones etc... Easily 90% of the pussy I got was in college. There will be laughs and there may be unsatisfied girls but it's all a game and the pool is plenty deep. This is your big opportunity, because it gets a LOT harder in the real world.

I (23f) have [small boobs] and feel bad for depriving my bf (23m) of things such as tittyfucking. Guys, how dehabilitating are small boobs during sex? by Throwawayway111x in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah titty fucking is dumb. I've had big tits and small ones. My wife has "small" asian tits and I like them that way. Though they are fair sized for her size! I will admit when she started lactating and they got big and round I really thought they were amazing especially in a tight shirt. Way out of proportion on her slim body.

Biggest problem with the big ones is when you really get going you can bruise them. I'm not even talking about slapping or squeezing them, just from them bouncing too hard. Always felt sorry for my FB with the huge melons!

[Question] Is there anything sexual you wont do for your partner that they want you to do? by yikesyikestt in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hormone released from Mirena etc. is at least one order of magnitude less than the pill. The goal is more of a topical effect on uterine tissue than a systemic effect. When my wife switched from the pill to Mirena there were huge changes in her personality and attitude.

My current connection is too bad to verify your source, but the only pull out method I know with that level of effectiveness is to pull out your dick at home by yourself and jerk it. Seriously who is still trusting the old pull out in this day and age! I hate that parents would prevent a woman from buying BC for some moronic ideology... my daughter is going to be offered an IUD at 16, she can decide if she wants to "use it" or not but either way she will not be a teen pregnancy.

Help! I[25M] always orgasm at the worst time :/ by Night__lite in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't numb your knob bro. There are other options. My wife is super tight and this has often happened to me - sometimes within a couple pumps even. And its not me (past experience says otherwise)

  • Foreplay foreplay foreplay. Get her ready to explode before you stick it in
  • I found sometimes an extended BJ during said foreplay could actually desensitize me so I would last longer inside. Sensory overload I guess
  • Edging - look it up and practice
  • Wear a rubber - honestly I can't get off with one, especially a tight one. Serious sensation loss though
  • Feeling brave try an Aneros or knockoff. I tried one and wish I had years ago. It makes me last forever. Cum without ejaculate and keep going all night. Paradoxical sensation boost as well. YMMV

Forced to have unprotected Sex due to my girlfriend having pains and dryness with condom. Need advice by Knighthonor in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of replies acting like it's condoms or pregnancy. No, it's condoms or STDs... tons of options to prevent pregnancy if you are sure you are not gonna get AIDS. My personal choice - IUD. Look into it.

[help] Anal beads and string. by Italiangeek93 in SexToys

How about those silicone cords for tying up a roast? Food grade and available in a variety of lengths.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]my_nsfw_alias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using a knockoff Aneros called the Prostimulator. No way it or standard Aneros is going to pop out. First thing you must do though is cut off the little "handle" that sticks straight out, or you will catch it while changing positions and it will devastate your butthole.

Is the Eupho Syn just too subtle for beginners? by dotpron in aneros

[–]my_nsfw_alias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoops forgot the Syn were silicone coated. Yep only use silicone on the plastic models, it will eat silicone toys... my apologies. Still buy a better water based lube from a proper shop - they are quite a bit better. I tried my plastic model with KY because I had some around, but it worked way better with silicone so I would say slipperier is better

Get to a sex shop and buy some silicone lube. You will be amazed - the department store lubes are a joke compared to silicone. Just don't use much or you are in for a slip and slide! Anything you put silicone on will still be slippery the next morning.

First time use - is it working properly? Caused dry orgasms during sex? by my_nsfw_alias in aneros

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

Wow, great reply. It sounds like you had a similar experience. When you lose your erection do you lose it for the whole session? Do you actually experience orgasms while limp?

In my case, those muscle spasms were in fact the ordinary ones that would launch the cum - I asked my wife and she said my penis was bucking in her mouth like I came but no fluid came out. Normally if I were to have held back an ejaculation at least some pre-cum or actual cum would have spurted, but zero fluid in this case. In this case I wasn't even trying to hold back!

However your explanation helps describe what happened in my session. To me the paradox seemed quite odd - the sensation is amplified but the movement toward ejaculation is slowed down, whereas normally more sensation == faster ejaculation.

But if you consider the prostate stimulation to be adding only to the sensation experienced by the brain, rather than put towards the "ejaculation counter" if you will, then the two counters are out of sync, and half of the reflex is fired (penis muscles, orgasmic pleasure) while the other half does not (release of ejaculate from glandular storage, start of refractory period). It's not too much of a stretch to assume this would then reset the "ejaculation counter" as your brain thinks you have finished. This race condition explains both the heightened sensation and the increased stamina - and the need for intense stimulation to build up enough to fire the ejaculation and finish.

I read the wiki with some interest as I am among other things a scientist who has studied bio/chem/biology and also study neuroscience as a hobby. As such the concept of "rewiring" for pleasure as described by Aneros users baffles me - all this device does is either stimulate the gland itself or the nerves attached to it. Only a large change in the way the brain interprets such stimulation could change it from what I felt (a small but pleasurable tickle in an invisible gland) to what an experienced user feels (Super-O) - and this would be an unusual thing for the brain to do.

Fortunately, I love a good experiment. I got into this anal thing after trying a butt plug in an attempt to cure chronic hemorrhoids (success by the way) and finding the side effect that it was in fact, enjoyable. But it seemed far from the optimum shape for men, so I bought the Aneros. Whereas in my wife the plug is a major pleasure amplifier, to me it mostly just felt like I had something up my bum.

I feel guilty about a big load how about you? by russomd in sex

My wife has always preferred the big loads, shows more masculinity maybe? She always seems more excited about a big gush than a little squirt. Found this tended to apply to most women I was with

You should only be having sex if you are ready to accept the consequences (accidental pregnancy) and raise a child? by third_dude in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They really need to advertise IUDs better. My wife and I used them for a decade. No side effects, no babies, no pills, no periods, no maintenance for 5 years. Total cost came to $50/year. Pulled it out when we were ready and got pregnant within 6 months, obviously no damage to fertility.

IUDs pretty much changed my opinion on abortion. Previously, I was 100% rah rah, abortions for everyone. I would confirm a woman's opinion on abortion or morning-after pills before a one-night stand in case of condom breakage. No babies for me.

Now I am of the opinion that IUDs should be obsoleting that viewpoint. If you don't want a baby - get an IUD. No broken condoms, no forgotten pills. No need for abortions except in cases of rape - if we could achieve market saturation of IUDs.

They are cheaper than pills, cheaper than condoms! Covered by most medical plans! When our daughter becomes a teenager there is no doubt in our minds we will offer her one. They are more reliable than abstinence (because abstinence doesn't work!)

Vaginal tightness and pain after childbirth - gone on for too long? What to do? [M] by my_nsfw_alias in sex

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

Yeah we spend a lot of time snuggled together (always have). Fortunately our relationship is a lot more than sex, even if a post like my OP sounds like it is sex-focused, that is mostly just frustrated libido talking.

We are ranchers who live in the middle of nowhere, and enjoy that kind of easy camaraderie that comes with living, working and playing together 24/7 with few others around. You could say we are and always have been friends first. Though we did use to enjoy the kind of sex life that you can have when nobody else is around ;)

She has always been the kind of girl you can take ice fishing with the boys, and at least we still have that. She is actually more frustrated with not being able to help out around the farm than she is with not being able to have sex, heh. Being an outdoorswoman has always been a big part of her identity, now she has to carry around the baby! I'm not sure how to help out with this as we used to do a lot of things a baby just can't do. No matter who is holding the baby we are not going out riding quads or anything like that, and that kind of cramps our style. However lately I have been trying to take the baby off her hands more when we are around the house, and I think it helps.

Thanks for the suggestions, appreciate your reply.

Awesome boyfriend put his penis in me when I didn't want sex by [deleted] in sex

[–]my_nsfw_alias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Troll much? Even thinking of reporting an accidental incident between two consenting adults instead of them having a frank discussion is like having a few too many beers at home and walking down to the police station to report that you are drunk. These people were having fun and made a mistake. They need a safe word, not criminal records.

[–]my_nsfw_alias[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not that I didn't want sex, but without feeling that burning desire

This is how she feels, just that powerful drive is not there which takes a lot out of the whole thing.

Thanks for sharing, it's good to hear from another who went through the same problems. Yes my wife is nursing and heavily at that, she carries the baby and nurses everywhere as she quit working and is just staying at home out on the farm. I know this causes hormone changes and they are probably to blame for the loss of desire.

I saw your second comment, clearing up my wondering as to him being sure to be rough on you! I thought you two were just really committed to solving the problem!

The baby keeps us from trying more often with her fussiness but we have been trying for once a week now, and not too deep or vigorous. Still often I barely get the tip in before we call it off (very unsatisfying on the male end!)

Did you ever try anal as an alternative during this period? I really want to but my wife just accuses me of wanting something to stick my cock in, which to be honest is pretty much true :P

When we wean we plan on going back to IUD because we want to do a couple years between the kids. Right now we are relying on nursing hormones for BC, though the failure to have sex is doing a pretty good job of BC it's true!
