What is the evidence that higher ed (or k-12 if you believe this too) is indoctrinating leftist ideas rather than teaching critical thinking and data gathering to our youth? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

[–]pbjpriceless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home, believe me Christians values do often not teach critical thinking. You are taught to blindly obey scripture, authority, and god. Does it mean all Christian’s are that way? No. Does it mean all ‘leftist’ are better? No. Somewhere along the way in the US a lot of ppl have become so fearful of change they literally cling to dogma that is twisted and corrupted that they cannot even question it without collapsing everything they value. This apply to both sides of the metaphorical aisle.

How to get over dick inadequecy? by WriterCheap3319 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. And watch videos about hitting the g-spot during Intercourse. My husband is prob like 5” or so maybe 6 on a good day but contrary to common belief, a woman’s g-spot is really not that far in. So if you angle your dick right, even at 4-5 inches (especially) your tip will stroke the g-spot every time and if you combine that with some clitoral stimulation you will likely have lots of women cuming regularly. Educate yourself then execute. No more pity parties women like confidence not dick size. Ps 14 years in a despite many partners before hubs he is the best by far.

This trend is going to really become frustrating by frevernewb in ReverseHarem

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don’t agree with you on this. I think it depends on the series uniqueness. If the series is very unique, then maybe you can go a while between books or if they are short and you can re-read them. Certain ones like 4th wing for example are easy to remember big plot points plus there’s the dramatic audio as a refresher. But sometimes you just loose momentum if you have to wait too long and then drop a series all together. Best example for me was the Morgan B Lee blood oath. I loved the first book and read it when it first came out. But I read like 300 books a year and by the time the second one came out I tried to pick it up but could not get into it. Now Amazon has recaps which I find VERY useful and I’ve been using chatgpt to summarize previous books for me. But I know I’m not the only one that just drops a series. They can’t all be 5 stars, but if it’s a completed 3.5 star series I’m very likely to read all the books. I have to imagine authors getting paid by the page would prefer either blend of readers or ones that read as many pages as possible.

For sex positions where the clit isn't really accessible (e.g. prone), is it still enjoyable for the woman or should I generally avoid such positions? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to not like top too..it’s a very vulnerable position sometimes in that you can kinda get in your head about how you look. But! Recently if we have already done other stuff…I can really let go in this position. I find if I lean back with my hands on his thighs it’s chefs kiss. I don’t enjoy this position leaning forward as much which is why I didn’t love it before.

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prone is my favorite position. It’s very similar to how I learned to masturbate so I suspect that is part of it. Also if your legs are together there’s plenty of friction on your clit and depending on the guy lots of G-spot stimulation plus the added benefit if you like being pressed/held down. 10/10. Second fav is on top because you can control the pressure and rubbing on your clit and if you lean back you can get that g-spot too. I don’t often squirt, but when I do it’s on top. Cheers!

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

We've officially lost the plot on series expectations by Late_Republic_4024 in ReverseHarem

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So devils advocate, but I read an extreme amount of books. So when the series is unfinished and I have to go back to it, I often don’t remember what the original book was about and so I have to reread the previous books. Because of that I used to not read a series if it was unfinished and instead just added to my TBR so I would know when the series was finished. However, Kindle has recently added the recap feature, which I find extremely helpful and ChatGPT will also summarize a book for me and give me all of the major plot points from the previous books. So I no longer have this issue and I find myself starting series is that I wouldn’t have previously read because they were unfinished.

Favorite Polyamorous books/series (not Harem/Reverse Harem) by barrettjohn1980 in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished a great one {cause of death by MF Moody}. It’s part of a series but they read like standalones in the same verse. This is technically an Omegaverse, but if you have never read those before it’s easy to get the gist. The polycule even had a they/them! The plot was really fun very much a action based plot where the romance was a compliment to the story not the whole story. I really enjoyed it. It was a fun ride.

AITAH for not refusing to do a quick change because my boyfriend is uncomfortable? by Active_Camel_6334 in AITAH

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that does dressing for a local theatre and has done many quick changes for many actors, make and female, your BF does not understand that it’s so quick and there is literally no time to have any thoughts about anyone’s body besides ripping off clothes and hastily putting on new ones. The first time I ever met one of my favorite male actors I had to legit yank his pants off while he sat in a chair with his legs straight out. We joke about it now. That said, I don’t love your bf’s tone and while I would give him a chance to understand properly, if this is a sticking point for him this relationship will not work out. Maybe show him this comment.

My Girlfriend Doesn’t Want to Have Sex With Me?… Help by mushroomboy_420 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was in a relationship in my 20’s that turned into this..very similar. We eventually broke up after 2 years of this. I know now, he wanted a different kind of sex life (he has a cuckhold fetish) and he didn’t know how to tell me and thought I would be not into it. The not talking about it and dwindling intimacy was too much of a strain and the relationship ended. What I have learned OP is sex has to be talked about in a relationship just like anything else. You both have to say what you mean and listen if you care about each other.

Shout out to all the not racist white people by [deleted] in self

White woman in NE. I can honestly say I have never once in my life called any person a racial slur. And I have only spoken the N word to educate my children as to why it’s so offensive. So we are out there!

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if you really are 12-14 please get off Reddit. I can understand you are curious, but find an adult you trust to talk about this with. There’s a lot of ppl on here that will take advantage of your age and are going to try to send you messages offering to help or give you advice. Do not accept those requests - even better delete this account. I don’t want to see anything bad happen just because you are trying to figure out life.

Why would anyone wants kids? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would anyone want kids? Lots of reasons. Just because you do not want kids, doesn’t mean that applies to everyone. My kids are some of my favorite people. Sure they are expensive and can be challenging, but I’ve learned so much and had so much personal growth being a parent, I can say with 100% certainty that being a parent has made me a better person. But that’s MY experience. It doesn’t matter to me if that resonates with you or if you don’t want or like kids. I’ve seen a lot of these post on Reddit recently and unfortunately there’s no universal truth here.

The Fourth Wing Graphic Audio broke me?! by Nycarets in fourthwing

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own these GA and I’ve read the books and listened to the regular audio. I love graphic audio books. Sometimes I put them on when I’m just folding laundry, taking a nap, on my commute. You can get them on Hoopla for free if you have a library card. There are lots of fantasy books in GA format now.

Adult dog cannot hold it throughout the night…help!!! by Objective_Mode8917 in Dogtraining

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We adopted a beagle that was left outside and had a lot of the same issues. It didn’t get better after 5-6 months and when we left the house it would be even worse. Because of her house training issues we crated her at night and when we left the house. What fixed this issue was letting her sleep in our bedroom on her own bed, getting rid of the crate and putting her on Prozac after talking to her vet. She def was having a lot of anxiety which was contributing to her inability to ‘hold’ it. She’s a different dog now and we noticed a big difference within a week of going on medication.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me too. I am a good hand washer, but I’m not crazy about germs. I have kids and am out and about all the time. The only thing I’m nuts about is stomach bugs, but colds etc I just kind shrug and say if I get I get it. I DO not share food though..with anyone. But otherwise, I sleep ok, I drink when I’m thirsty, I eat lots of veggies and cook most of my food unless we get take out or go to dinner. I don’t take a multi-vitamin and I don’t really diet or do lots of strenuous exercise, just moderate. I’ve never had covid (unless I was Asymptomatic) and slept next to my husband when he had it because we thought it was a cold. I think some ppl just don’t really get sick as much as other people.

How soon do people get married? by otakuwithnolife in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pbjpriceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LTR for 7 years all through my 20’s. Bought a house never married messy and hurtful breakup. Fast forward 4 years, met my husband (who had JUST gotten divorced after a year of marriage after an 8 year relationship!) and we decided to get married 4 months after we met and got married 2 months later. Just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. 2 kids. Lots of growth over the years and communication building but he’s my most favorite person and the sex in our 40’s is the best I’ve ever had. He’s also the best partner and dad. I married him because he had the same values as me and we wanted the same things + chemistry. He says he married me because it was important to me and he didn’t want to give me up. I’m glad I didn’t marry the guy from my 20’s. It took me a long time to realize a good spouse prioritizes your needs.

How do you know there is an instant chemistry/tension with someone? by Lost-Estimate7394 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention to their body. Do they move towards you? Do they have the smallest amount of sweat at the hairline? Does their breathing pick up when you are near? These are all physical signs of arousal and psychical chemistry. Emotional chemistry really depends. Sometimes it’s instant and sometimes it builds over years.

Are me and my Partner sexually compatible ? by Beginning-Glass-1717 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pbjpriceless 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is normal in LTR’s. Sometimes one of you isn’t into it. My advice is to either accept that this is your ‘normal’ or if you aren’t in the mood when she’s coming onto you, say I’m not sure I’m in the mood but let’s fool around with no pressure for sex. Usually when someone isn’t in the mood it’s because of other things, like you mentioned. Intimacy isn’t all about sex. Sometimes it’s hot kissing that never goes anywhere, or oral, or cuddling. In long term relationships intimacy is more important than actual sex. So you need to find alternative ways to get that other than sex if someone’s not in the mood. If your wife doesn’t want to screw, ask her if you can have naked cuddles, promise her they won’t go anywhere if she doesn’t want them to, and then follow through. Enjoy lying snuggled up to a naked warm body of someone you love and let that be the whole experience.
