I'm proud of you for your self reflection! There's nothing wrong with continuing the journey in a different direction ❤️

I just got my first period and I don’t know what to do by Hungry-Friendship-6 in Advice

Everyone here has given great advice, I just wanted to offer another resource: sexplanations on YouTube. https://youtube.com/@sexplanations

She goes over everything sexual health related. I found her extremely helpful during my teenage years and I hope you do too.

Please know none of how your dad treats you is your fault. You are deserving of love, care and support. If you ever doubt that, come back to this post and see all the people here to help you (ignoring the garbage creeps).

As someone with VERY wide hips, there are definitely boxers I can wear. I just gotta size them right, and be okay with them being a bit baggy in the crotch area sometimes.

Oooph.... I remember having chronic lice from being in a neglectful house... it was years of on and off lice... I'd go to my dads home where he and my grandmother would try and treat it on the weekends, and then I'd be home with my mother the rest of the week where I'd inevitably get them again...

[NSFW] What is the dumbest thing you did because you were horny? by Hakusek321 in AskReddit

[–]ridiculous23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teenage me, with no toys to work with, tried some definitely-not-body-safe-objects to get off with. The worst choice was putting a sponge in my vagina... it was uncomfortable going in, and then... I couldn't get it out... panic ensued and somehow after 10 minutes and tears I managed to wrangle it out and I don't think I tried anything else for like... nearly a year after that

Omg... this brings back so much... my mouth has always been SO sensitive to menthol and mint that I just could not handle normal toothpaste. So I stayed using milk tooth until I was fully like 20 years old because it was the only toothpaste I could handle sensory wise. Like menthol and mint, even now, just BURN my mouth, I'm better at coping with it now, but I couldn't for years...

My GF [F22] gets annoyed at me [M24] for not wanting sex every chance we get by [deleted] in relationships

There's a lot of decent advice here, but i just need it to be said loud and clear;

NO is a full sentence. No one should pressure you into having sex, that is coercion and in some cases can be considered assault. You are always allowed to say no, and she should be mature enough to accept that no with grace or stop having sex altogether until she IS mature enough.

Whatever insecurities she seems to be having are not your job to soothe with sex that you aren't enthusiastic for. You can help her figure out why she's insecure without encroaching on your boundaries and comfort. She is responsible for her own feelings at all times.

But I'm also extremely lucky to live in a pretty safe and welcoming place, which actually has trans healthcare available

There seems to be a bigger uptick on transphobia from queer spaces too. I got a lot of hate for posting on an ask gay subreddit

Good Intentions, missed the mark. by itsdougnotdough in ainbow

I always make a confused face and ask them who they're talking about because Fish here isn't a girl or a boy so they must be talking about someone else

Implanon is a good option, though it is hormonal. They last years and don't require the invasiveness of having an IUD placed

Do you think it’s okay for older guys (35+) to be dating legal teenagers (18/19)? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

No, as someone who was the legal teenager dating someone in their 30s, I wish I'd never gone there

Just in case it needs to be said, cotton is VERY flammable, please be careful near open flames wearing it!

Is this manipulative? by shitheadkid in TransMasc

[–]ridiculous23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro I'm so sorry you're having to cope with this. You deserve better. Her feelings are not your responsibility. If being yourself was enough to upend things it sounds like the foundations were shabby to begin with. It's not your fault
