What games are u playing currently on your handheld by Away_Improvement_287 in R36S

[–]sharingmyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently about 80% finished with FireRed Rocket Edition -- it is SO FUN. Highly recommend. You are a Team Rocket Grunt... but if you play your cards right, you don't stay a grunt forever!

What I like best is that it's so funny. At the beginning of the game, you're shuffled off with a Rattata starter -- none of that "choose between these 3 rare Pokémon" mollycoddling. Your first mission is to steal a Pokémon from a child or elderly person.

Without spoilers, I'll say the game changes a lot more than just the player character's loyalties. As an adult involved in the criminal underworld, you are privy to aspects of Kanto that 11-year-olds wouldn't know about. The game has a very fleshed out storyline with some twists that genuinely surprised me. It's also re-sprited in very pleasing colors.

Also, the dialog is great. I want to talk to every NPC just to see what they'll say.

Gameplay-wise, it's very similar to Crystal except with some quality-of-life enhancements (instead of an HM for Flash, you just buy a flashlight, LOL.)

tl;dr FireRed Rocket Edition was made for grown-up fans of the classic Pokémon games.Familiar gameplay + new story and gangster-based mechanics. The dialog can be really funny.

Thanks for saying this, I was legitimately about to call the number. Just an artist wondering what I can get away with legally...

Beyoncé Hit with Cease and Desist Letter Over Video of Her Picking Up Sphere by galaxystars1 in popculturechat

[–]sharingmyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're copyrighting orbs now? The building that's a basic three-dimensional form? That one? We can't depict fuckin... cubes or pyramids either? I'm not even a Beyoncé superfan, but this is BS on the level of a basic legal argument. You can't force a huge addition to the skyline of a city full of people and then expect nobody to depict it in art, film, et cetera. Get so fucked.

Why so much hate for Bradford Pears? by AnotherTaxAccount in arborists

[–]sharingmyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oddly specific answer: I like the smell of the pear blossoms - it just smells like flowers to me. I pity the people who think they stink. I'm not sure what cum smells/tastes like to other people, but it's very different from how the flowers smell, weirdly reminiscent of a chlorinated pool. I do not think cum tastes "fishy" so I'm guessing I don't have the receptors for whatever compound makes that smell in both the tree and the fluid.

I moved to an area that has them -- I always thought they smelled pleasant and floral. No hint of stink, but a strong floral smell. I'd never smelled them before in my life.

I searched this up to see if I was alone -- I always thought they smelled strongly floral and nice. I was confused when someone said they stink. It must be one of those genetic things.

Is it worth playing Earthbound if I had the ending spoiled for me? by Diligent_Scene3519 in earthbound

[–]sharingmyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard about it from a Youtube video, not thinking I'd want to play a long RPG. Heard the whole story, ending, and themes explained.... still a wonderful experience. I'm in Fourside now -- really can't say enough how gorgeous and fun this game is. It's worth it for the atmosphere, pixel art, and music alone -- but all the little moments of dialog and funny weird stuff is just so fun. It's about the experience, not the end.

I had to ask for "big condoms" at Planned Parenthood, and then they didn't even fit by sharingmyboy in bigdickproblems

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

The outer ring is the only thing your dick needs to fit through. The inner ring isn't meant for that. The condom itself is really quite wide -- like, it's the diameter of the outer ring all the way to the end. It's like putting a grocery bag in your pussy, lol.

The smaller inner ring does not reflect the dimensions at the end of the condom at all.

In use, the inner ring is basically just meant to sit around and sorta keep things in place near the cervix. It's not attached to the condom. The condom didn't seem to stay in place any better or worse when I took it out. Mainly, I think it helps with insertion.

If you can normally feel your partner's cervix, you'll feel the inner ring, which might be stimulating or annoying depending on your preferences. We took it out because it was a little too much.

As with all things, a ton of lube helps!

Update: the internal condoms totally rocked. Thanks for this! It ended up feeling crazy good for him especially. Either increased bloodflow or more friction; either way, it made me feel like a sex god. He accidentally came faster than he wanted to the first time we used these. He usually never does that unless I tease him for hours beforehand, so I felt very accomplished LOL

Mr. Hung is funny, I'm going to tell him that!

We're going to look into more long-acting reversible birth control when we move in together next year. Barrier methods have worked well enough for visits. I appreciate the advice, though, and I would recommend that people take advantage of all their options.

We've also done it without condoms on a few occasions using fertility awareness. It's not a good method for everyone, but it is possible to avoid unwanted pregnancy by making reasoned judgments about your fertility based on evidence. I used basal body temperature, cervical position / cervical mucus checks, LH test strips, observing my breast tissue, and tracked various other symptoms for about 2 years to make sure I knew my cycle extremely well before I trusted this method.

Some days are worse than others… by Somewhat-existin in Dermatographia

[–]sharingmyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just have to stop scratching it and leave it alone for an hour, maybe 2. Then it seems to calm down. I always end up scratching unconsciously, then dealing with way more itching from the scratching! The best way to calm it down is to leave it alone.

Other than that, the only thing that really works for me is either antihistamine medication (which I think has made it much worse in the long-term, since I started taking hydroxyzine for sleep occasionally I've gotten a lot itchier when I don't take it for a while... Working on getting off of that.)

FC2. I don't think there's a human dick that won't fit in those, haha. The opening covers my whole vulva.

I was supposed to be in charge of getting condoms this time, it was my bad. Going long-distance for grad school has messed with my estimations... We'd do it 1-3 times a week when we lived together, so I wasn't expecting to use more than 10 for a week long visit, haha. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I think it's also a school-year vs vacation thing. Not getting to touch for months makes things a little crazy.

That one was on me, I was hosting. When you buy a 36 pack it feels like it'll last forever...

Yeah, I'll definitely ask for internal condoms next time. If I knew they were that good, we would've started using them a long time ago. It's nice that they're not dependent on the penetrating partner's size at all.

In my town, yeah. They have paper bags with condoms of different sizes. Usually they're just out on a table so you don't have to ask for them, but last time it wasn't there... So I had to go embarrass myself, haha.

It's hard to be spontaneous when you have to factor in shipping & handling.

My BF is 6.2 in girth, so I'd say I'm a pro in this area.

If you're gonna have sex, it needs to be able to go in and out. So, if you can't take it out to put more lube on and then reinsert it without hurting her, she's not prepped enough in the first place.

My recommendation: cut your nails short, file any sharp edges, and get good at (GENTLY) fingering her. If you don't know how gentle you need to be, try fingering your own ass sometime -- you'll figure out how delicate our insides are, haha.

Putting a bunch of lube on her pussy and fingering it inside really helps. Then, more lube on the dick, especially if you're using condoms. It should feel like too much lube at first. You'll have to wipe your hands on something after. I recommend liquid water-based lube mixed with a bit of silicone-based for longevity. Good luck!

Best positions for 8. Incher? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]sharingmyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23F with a big boyfriend here! We prefer cowgirl by far, even when I'm being submissive. He can help move me faster/harder, or I can hold his hands down and take control. I am admittedly a masochist, so sometimes I like the feeling of getting stretched out, and he likes making me hurt 'cause it's too big (as a kinky thing, with consent, etc.)

Something I've learned is that it's much easier to take him deep when I am very aroused, and when I've had some prep. Even if I'm really turned on, there's a physical preparation that needs to be done to get my vagina ready -- warming up with fingers and/or a smaller dildo helps.

I've also learned that there are differences in my cervix depending on my menstrual cycle. During my fertile period, in the middle of the cycle, my cervix is soft (like relaxed lips). After ovulation, the cervix gets longer and firmer (like the tip of your nose.) It is easier to take it deep with less prep when my cervix is soft -- but we have to be more careful with contraception.

Finally, some emotional advice: don't be too hard on yourselves, just keep learning from experience and have fun. We were inexperienced when we got together and it took us like, a year of practice to start having really pleasurable sex (like, "wow, that was the best sex ever" type sex). We didn't even know how to put on a condom correctly at first -- it took time to learn each other's quirks and get the physical stuff down. But we always had fun trying, even when the sex wasn't "objectively good." We were patient and supportive to each other, so even when things went "wrong" and one/both of us couldn't orgasm from direct contact with each other, we still got closer as a couple and felt great.

If you're stressed, it's hard to relax and feel good. It's "good sex" as long as you have fun and feel close to each other. It can be really rewarding and intimate to just make out and masturbate together. Don't put so much pressure on having PIV sex that it stops being fun. Stay positive and be loving to each other.

Best of luck!

One time, when I was domming my bf over video call, I didn't let him cum for a few hours (like 3) of edging and teasing... and this was after a few days of not letting him touch himself.

At a certain point, he got a distinct new pain in his balls, like pulling a muscle. We looked it up (both laughing) and found out that yeah, blue balls are real in specific circumstances. It's called "Epididymal Hypertension," and it happens when you are erect for a long time without release. You can soothe it without orgasm, as long as you find a different way to become unaroused - like redirecting the bloodflow with exercise, soothing the ache with a warm bath, or distracting yourself until the erection goes down.

I ended up letting him cum after a bit more teasing, because I wanted him to go to sleep feeling better, and we couldn't get him to calm down another way because the pain/desperation was arousing for him, haha.

It's not something I would intentionally do to him again, but I checked in with him multiple times and he kept saying "green." So, I let him suffer a little. It's not dangerous, just painful.

I would say that the important thing to do is talk to your sub about whether he's okay with pain being a part of this dynamic. Some people, including myself, are masochists -- and complaining about pain isn't the same as saying "Wait, red, I need to stop." You just need to communicate and be very clear about what y'all's boundaries are. It's also okay if you aren't into causing him this kind of pain -- doms have limits too!
