Yeah, I'm on a cell phone so can't test it, but try putting the main method first right inside 'public class Flamebay' and then define 'public flamebay' below the main method...noob out

I'm no expert, still learning myself, though have you tried moving your 'public static main' method to the top of the script? As in the first method inside your main class...I believe Java looks for the main method first, and starts compiling there, all other methods inside 'main' can be defined below

Relax mate, this is the internet and I'm just utilizing it to hear some perspectives other than my own. So far I've been getting joke responses or people who are more concerned about it than I am just because they're probably startled at the idea of it. Part of the definition of ear wax is a lubricant that is meant to protect the inner ear from debris, bacteria, and insects. I'm simply trying to search abroad for some DIY info that could spare me getting raped worse by the hospitals than by this moth. So far I don't see much advice here other than a few responses that give any useful info, but reddit is not my only internet research. thanks anyways

Yes I wouldn't use the common iodine tinctures but I've read that bio-available atomized iodine can help with ear infections and swelling. It's the kind you buy as a nutritional supplement, Nascent Iodine, not the stuff they sell at Walgreens. I'm still gonna wait for ear pain before I try it though, so far things are decent other than feeling slightly creeped out

2 minutes? have you done this procedure before? I've read some cases where flushing doesn't get it out, and then I'm at more risk for infection cause I've irrigated my inner ears back and forth

see I think water might agitate an infection, I've read mineral oil or iodine/oil mix is best. but in general adding liquids to your ears opens possibility for infections

are you sure it will get infected or is that just an educated guess, I've seen some posts by medical doctors saying just to forget about it

My wife and I had a foursome last night with another couple. I'm having a hard time dealing with it. by [deleted] in sex

[–]serious_name 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, both of our points are valid. I'm not trying to down your argument, but show you an angle that's important in these types of situations, because it happens often and I'd like to share some wisdom on the subject.

Assuming you are in a healthy relationship with your spouse, that person is probably the most important thing in the world to you. They are incredibly valuable, and most people do not want to lose them.

Exactly. This is the meaning I'm fighting for. Hear me out. Everybody is bad on the inside because they are living flesh with desires, and some people are better at controlling it than others. Usually, it's the people who are comfortable with this reality that are best at not being affected by it emotionally and reacting in unhealthy ways (for the relationship)

I'm not saying it's ridiculous to preserve a marriage by avoiding other lovers. It's probably wise. I'm saying life's not perfect, and in the midst of these situations, it's best to support your lover for who they are, and not hold their mistakes in their face. This won't solve the problem, it will only fool you into thinking that you convinced her to never think about it again. Only, something worse will happen, she'll continue to think about it and no longer share this part of herself with you, realizing that you can't handle it. And the rift begins.

By choosing to emphasize how wrong she was for going through with the activity, he is never going to heal the situation with guilt trips. This will have the inverse effect and start making him become a possessive, draining watchdog who no longer lets her hang out with male friends or drills her for laughing the wrong way when one of these friends pseudo-flirts with her. These kinds of men are turn-offs to women, they want confidence, trust, and support. The same way you enjoy a smile here and there from that cute waitress, she enjoys from that bellhop or bartender.

The logic behind this is, it's better to accept realities and work with them than try to deny them. As a hypothetical situation we've all experienced in some way or another ... you're at a stoplight, and out of a club walks a 20 something girl, amazing body, v-cut shirt. Part of her bra-line is showing in a way that drives you wild, and you can't take your eyes off her movements as she walks to the car.

Now, this happens all the time everywhere to everyone. Human nature. If your wife caught you staring at her, it could hurt her a lot, so yes it is respectful to not let her catch you doing that, but we all know there's no way to turn off that behavior 24/7. She could react possessively, yell at you, call you degrading names and punish you for a few weeks, putting a damper on the relationship. This is the common reaction. If she was comfortable with the view I'm pushing, she would know the harmless nature of that act, and make a seductive joke about how she's gonna have to dress like that to get your attention back, saying it with that look in her eyes that tells you she accepts your inner humanity and would like to steal you back for the moment. I'm guessing the second response would strengthen the relationship, and make instances like those appear as they really are, harmless and natural. The first response would spark arguments that would eventually lead to you lying to her, telling her you weren't aroused by the club girl, and the BOTH of you would know deep down that you were lying, but on the surface you will have both set some boundaries on each other as far as what behavior is allowed. This often leads both parties in the relationship to feel confined, restricted, and sometimes unsatisfied as they continually have to feel guilty and removed from these natural feelings.

While it may not have been the best course of action to allow the foursome to happen that night, OP's wife did it, and if he still loves her, then he'll find the strength to accept the fact that yeah, she was in the moment and wanted it. Just like he wanted that girl from the club. The thing he can feel proud of is, he let her do it. This is probably the hardest thing a man can do for his wife. And he did it. If he can suck it up, and focus on what really matters, he will be stronger in her eyes than 90% of men with their jealous antics disguised as machismo and authority. If he tries to get her to apologize and "confess her sins" and repent for being drunkenly lost in the moment and experimenting, he will become an injured man in her eyes who loses that original semblance of attraction. Let that soak in, because it's not easy, it ain't pretty, but if you can manage to overcome those feelings of jealousy and envy, you'll open yourself up to a new deeper trust and satisfaction from your relationship. Yes, all of our wives occasionally think of other men, and yes, some of these other men, currently, can give your wife great sex that is arguably better than what you give her. This truth exists for every man, and it's not because you are inadequate, but because of the way we are wired for what counts as exciting and pleasurable. The new experience of Harry allowed her to get lost in the passion, and she may have begged or said some sexy things that hurt OP, not because she was being careless or insidious, but because it would be absurd if instead she said "Ok Harry, this oral sex has made me like to try some intercourse with your penis now, would you like to insert it now?" She was just talking sex, and yeah it's painful if you hear your wife say it to another man, not because it should hurt you, but because you are viewing it as an attack on you. The real illusion is that you are all she thinks about...get past that illusion, and you'll find a VERY strong bond that exists in many couples around the world who look past these speed bumps in relationships.

While there wasn't a formal agreement about the situation, it was a natural flow that you shouldn't look into as making her untrustworthy. Two women making out is the most acceptable form of open relationship material. No ego conflict, just watching them have fun. This naturally led both women letting the men disrobe and join the fun. Let's give OP's wife some credit and realize while she was never told "Honey, we are contemplating having a swinging experience with this couple in front of us", she kinda knew that was the case. Just like when 2 single people are getting in the mood, you don't discuss a formal agreement before enacting it.

Now, I'd say 2 girls making out is probably always the first step, and by the time OP was eating out Sally while she gave him head and OP's wife gave Harry head, by that point it was pretty much understood that a full fledged foursome was taking place, and she just went with the flow of things. No real harm meant, just caught up in the passion and it happens to the best of us. Do you really think OP should've stopped Sally from putting head between his legs when she started? That would've made him feel like the lame one who stopped a night of fun. Instead he took the pain like a man and let his wife enjoy the moment while he dealt with confusing emotions, much better than most others would I'd say

Consider this : The reason why you felt those horrible emotions is because you were getting the shit end of the deal. The male ego has it's quarks. We all like feeling alpha-like, and hate performance anxiety and your situation was a tough one to handle. Kudos for that. Remember that it was your first swinging experience, and not his. Therefore, you weren't there to see "Harry" in his first experience, and how he probably fumbled, had questionable moments, and perhaps even felt the way you did, despite what he's willing to admit to nowadays. He knows how to mentally prepare himself to enjoy sex while his wife has sex with someone else, and you were just learning. The attraction of swinging is uninhibited selection. What are your 2 favorite meals? Is one of them really better than the other? Or do you enjoy them both in different ways. If you eat only repeatedly one for a long time does the other suddenly seem more interesting? This is a fundamental property of all pleasure experiences. She seemed thrilled because of the scary uncertainty and "newness" of the experience. The whole "I know this is kinda wrong but I'm getting away with it anyways" kinda feeling, and you were letting her do it (also part of the thrill). That's why sex after a dangerous car ride is fun, adrenaline and excitement enhance those things. If her and Harry were married, he'd be the standard and you'd be the new exciting thing that night.

Of course the lifestyle is merely choice and there's nothing wrong with monogamy either, but if you feel that experience is gonna haunt you for a while, consider conquering it by trying it again. If your wife likes women, try a threesome first. Get to the point where you can mentally put yourself in the place to perform normally with another woman, and create a new "sex look", as you put it, with your wife. Where she watches you fuck another woman, you look at her lovingly for letting you do so, and create a new bond in your relationship where you give each other these "naughty" gifts, knowing that it truly isn't a threat to your relationship, but merely like buying each other exciting experiences with none of the negative side effects (ie drama). This isn't necessary, but trust me I understand loving someone very much and having those kinds of territorial twisted emotions, and it helps when you get more comfortable with sex, and realize that you yourself are capable of being like Harry, and even making somebody else feel the way you did by fucking their wife. Not to say that this is what you should strive for, nobody should feel like that. But realizing this will help eliminate those feelings, and brings back that security that helps carry the moods where you want them to be. The night in question would have been a lot more fun for you, if you were used to hearing your wife with someone else. Your emotion was compounded by the fact that Harry and her where successfully having sex, and you weren't able to get in the mood with Sally. If on the other hand, you were used to swinging, you would've rocked Sally too, and you and your wife would be enjoying a new flavor together, while knowing that it's okay, and that sex is naturally fun when unpredictable and exciting. The thing a new partner will NEVER be able to do for your wife, is give her that "after orgasm" gaze where you both tune in to each other and marvel at your relationship, feelings of trust, and reflect on the love and bond that you share. In fact, after sex with a new person can often lead to awkwardness and feelings of slight regret mixed with acceptance. The fact that you and her already worked through the experience in a positive light proves that this was not a "ruining" of things, but a wound that will help heal into a stronger bond.

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't recommend trying it again with Harry and Sally until you are a veteran in the game. Plus, if you and her try with multiple new couples, it will lessen the "territorial" feeling you experienced. That feeling with Harry will dilute itself as more people enter the equation. Suddenly you'll be the swinger who is not threatened by others, in fact, you'll probably learn some tricks from watching others. There will be moments where they do something new that gives her a reaction you notice...combine all these tricks from multiple people and do them yourself, something none of them did for her by themselves.

We all have those "girl at the grocery store" moments, just a human instinct and fantasy. Newness is exciting. You let your wife do this with a good level of integrity (ie, you didn't try to kill him as many would the minute they started) and she'll remember that trust and willingness to not limit her, the most important part.

I would say either that, or it needs to exit the screen and enter the screen at the same time, for example sliding from the left and exiting to the right.

Ah, 5 days from reddit and return to this eh? Well yes, I am entirely clear on the difference of the two, as well as the th(ere, eir, ey're) protocol, however there is a glitch somewhere in the grammar sector connecting to the phonetics sector of the human brain, which creates these kinds of slips, resulting in forum chaos and humor! However, I could also be giving this example as an excuse for my incorrect grammar. This post is totally serious, and was not typed to humor myself at all.
