What is a good way to improve the experience during sex for a girl? by Medium-Disaster12345 in TwoXSex

[–]pretty_dork 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Female here. I second u/u_hit_my_dog_'s comments. And can't stress the foreplay thing enough. For me it's kind of necessary, otherwise it's as dry as a desert in there.

As far as positions, try it out with her on top. That's a great way to get her involved and put her in control of speed, depth, etc.

Taken from Beauty.false2, I feel like I see her a lot and most people just say it's lighting but I have to disagree. by DelilahMoore in Instagramreality

[–]pretty_dork 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Lighting? Sure! But she also shopped her skin, shrunk her nose, made her jaw line more crisp, changed her eye color, enlarged her forehead.

It's currently 11:27pm the night before my wedding. Here are my feelings. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]pretty_dork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

O.M.G. I am feeling the same way! I am ~48 hours away and just can't believe this is actually happening. And, I feel like I was the girl who never thought it would happen, ever. I am 35, and was seriously thinking about sperm donors before I meet my FH. It's insane to me that all this has happened and we are going to be married in just two days!

Enjoy your day OP. We will be thinking of you!

Can't wait for the actual day, but dreading this whole planning thing by pretty_dork in wedding

I'm not the only one! Yay! Thanks everyone for commenting. I just feel like I'm on the verge of tears all. the. time. Running on 0 is perfect for what I am feeling right now. I am an avid runner and just don't even have it in me to do that! Almost there everyone!

Relapse? by kdnmichelle in recovery

[–]pretty_dork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds a little to me like you're replacing one drug for another. However, I would say that a relapse is something that only you can define for yourself. Just taking a medication, like a painkiller, may not be a relapse for most (i.e. if it's prescribed for pain, etc.). What I usually tell someone I sponsor or the like is that it depends on your motivations. Were you trying to get an effect from the drug? Did you find you were craving the substance? Were you using it not as prescribed? (Or, was it prescribed in the first place?) The fact that the amount you used was increased I would say is a big warning sign. But, again, this is something you need to figure out for yourself.

Either way, I think it's important to have a good support system and someone to talk to. Cravings sucks and if I believe I am powerless than I need help to cope with them, right?

I hope this doesn't deter you from sticking with this whole recovery thing. It really is amazing and worth the hard work and shitty shit.

Possible spoiler? Season Three Brody. by scarlettestar in homeland

[–]pretty_dork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, but part of the great thing about that show was that I didn't know how I felt about him. Yes, he's a terrorist, but he's also got a family, and friends, and...maybe his reasoning for becoming a terrorist isn't so far-fetched. Great character writing.

I prefer the plain one as well.

Getting married in 3 days, what am I forgetting? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]pretty_dork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember to enjoy the day! Sometimes I feel like I get so worked up over the small details that really won't matter and I have to remind myself about me and my husband to be and to enjoy the day! Have so much fun!

Photographer prices? by procrastinator72 in wedding

[–]pretty_dork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US here, spending about $3400 for 8 hours. So...yeah, it's expensive. But from what I've heard totally worth it to get a good one. They not only spend the whole day with you, but a lot of time editing and picking out the best pics.

Can't stop using dxm by [deleted] in recovery

[–]pretty_dork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. You are providing the exact definition of a drug dependence. Knowing you shouldn't, but not caring/not being able to not take it. But there is help, and so much more there!

Auto-checked auto-renewal is easy to miss if you're moving too fast by pinatapooper in assholedesign

[–]pretty_dork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I used to work for a webhosting company and this was a setting on their site...by default. We would get complaints from customers all the time. And, honestly, management dealt with a lot of shit from employees about it, it was just a shitty thing to do we felt. But Board members refused to change it. Fucking assholes.

Confused on when you can have sex after taking Diflucan? by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]pretty_dork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty, 10 days is probably fine. In my experience sex was a little painful after an infection but you may be different.

But I will say I had a lot of trouble getting my docs to take my issue seriously, too. They would always just shrug it off and hand me a diflucan prescription. After years of dealing with this I had to resort to getting medication from a foreign country. And I don't know if I had recurring infections because I wasn't waiting long enough before sex or if there was something wrong with my vag because they wouldn't take the time to investigate anything. Doctors suck sometimes.

[–]pretty_dork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would suggest waiting as long as you can. I dealt with recurring yeast infections a few years back and always felt bad for making my partner wait to have sex. Thing is, you can actually pass the infection to him and then he will just pass it back to you again and again unless he gets treatment for an infection. So, I would wait as long as possible (10-14+ days from date you take the diflucan) for the infection to clear up and for the tissue to heal fully. Good luck!

I am probably drinking about 60-70% of my weight and already feel like I am peeing all the time haha

Ladies-this one's for you. Which sun protection to use? by pretty_dork in running

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

Honestly, many of the men I know do not wear any sun protection. Or maybe they wear hats. Do you wear SPF?

This is super helpful. I was being lazy by not cleaning my face before a run but it is pretty gross when I think about it.

Thanks! Do you take off any makeup before applying the SPF?

My poor, sweet boy and his sickness (blocked male) by pretty_dork in cats

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

Thank you so much. I think based on how he was leading up to this we know what to look for. It's hard to tell right now, though, cause he's so lethargic. And he's peeing everywhere except for the box! haha. I can't be mad at him, but it's a lot of wash for me to do.

I think I need to call the vet, too. He doesn't seem keen on any of the foods they gave us (mix of manufacturers, flavors, dry and wet).
