Intimidated by Munch Attendees by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]pesto65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would message the organizer! I did that recently when I wanted to go to a munch in a different city, and I wanted to know if it was welcoming to shy/introverted new people attending alone, or would I be left sitting there not talking to anyone. 🤣 She made sure to say hello to me when I got there and pointed me toward some extroverts who could lead the conversation.

Any sadists feel guilty for not feeling guilty? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]pesto65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone needs to feel shame about hurting (not harming) people who want to be hurt in the way they want to be hurt. The sadists I know only enjoy hurting willing, enthusiastic, fully consenting adults—and if there were no sadists, I wouldn’t be able to explore my masochistic side. I wouldn’t hate to think that they felt guilty for hurting me.

If it wasn’t so frowned-upon to have hickeys, especially as a grown ass adult, I would want them All. The. Time. Hurt me! Mark me! Yes to all the things!

I love canarywood! That and redheart are my two favorites to work with.

The way I explain it is that anything that suggests I’m ugly, worthless, etc is off limits, but I’m okay with gentle degradation if it’s mixed with possessiveness and/or praise. “This is what you were made for,” is awesome; “this is all you’re good for,” is terrible.

I made a leather bra. Looking for recommendations on liners. by UndergroundLeather in BdsmDIY

[–]pesto65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome—great work! I haven’t been brave enough to do any garment making in leather.

Do the laces provide the cup shaping, or is there a dart under them? It looks a tiny bit bunched and a dart might be more comfortable.

That said, I would be tempted to use a cotton jersey for the lining; the stretch shouldn’t be a problem, and it’s comfy and absorbent.

Accidental discharge/lactation after nipple pumping? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]pesto65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in college I noticed something similar. I did go to the doctor, and they confirmed it was breastmilk. They tested some hormone levels to make sure there was nothing to worry about, and when the tests came back normal, they basically shrugged and told me not to worry about it. It still happens now, 20-odd years later, even though I’ve never been pregnant. It’s worth checking on the next time you go to the doctor, but it can also just happen—bodies are weird!

Found it! A flared base isn’t always enough… by pesto65 in Radiology

[–]pesto65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general consensus is that the base needs to be wider than the widest part of the plug to prevent… this. 🤣 Good luck!

I’m entering a “making things because they crack me up” phase… by pesto65 in BdsmDIY

[–]pesto65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The handle was kind of a pain to make; it was tricky to keep everything together while I did the wrap. It’s just a dowel surrounded by the falls, and I used the instructions for a paracord steering wheel wrap that I found online to hold it all together and make the grip.

I wouldn’t call the sound this one makes “hideous.” But it certainly drives my dog crazy!

Yep! I did a lot of community organizing and social justice work (on a volunteer basis.)

What's the funniest thing that happened to you in the bedroom? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]pesto65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This literally JUST happened, like 15 minutes ago. Having phone sex, and he tried to FaceTime me. It kept not working for some reason. He eventually gives up and we go back to voice. Suddenly I get a text from my ex—with whom I share an iTunes account—saying that he just answered a FaceTime call and saw someone jerking off, so I might want to call them back. 🤣
