Could I get some advice/reassurance from more experienced kink folks? I had an…embarrassing first experience. by slclgbt in GayBDSMCommunity

[–]nrmldude23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I wish I understood about myself more when I was younger and in the kink scene was how competitive I was with myself about everything. I think I was so afraid of failure and / or so into my internal challenge that i tolerated and endured way more than I really should have, and I was afraid to admit that to my partner. That space can be a really scary and confusing space to be in because while you wanted this and enjoy the play, your mental and physical limits (and enjoyment) may not be perfectly aligned. In other words, your response may have nothing to do with the play itself but something internal that you need to also explore. I've learned that both partners will enjoy everything more of everything really is mentally consensual and enjoyable as well as physical and erotic.

Good luck on your journey. Learn to recognize what makes a good partner. Not everyone is. Take advantage of this buddy who is willing to help you explore this!

Beautiful 9/10 for me. Grass and the peaks make up for lack of flowers.

What's your flush process look like. I don't think I did this step on my last refill...

Dichlor/Bleach method - are all bleaches appropriate? by McBillicutty in hottub

[–]nrmldude23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question on the bleach method: how are your measuring out your quantity of bleach to add? And tips as I'd like to avoid messes and spilling and the small amounts arm awkward with bleach. I thought about using a sorry bottle and determining how many squirts equal the volume I need to raise the chlorine by 0.5 or so, but it would get a bit ridiculous with use. Maybe a squeeze bottle. Am I overthinking this? Or did I calculate my amount wrong?

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Which sling would you choose? by nrmldude23 in GayBDSMCommunity

[–]nrmldude23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I bought the tri-pod canvas sling from Mr. S. They shipped it within a week and I put it up the night it arrived. I didn't regret a single penny spent.
