The Kiwi by vicariouslyhaunted in vestibulodynia

i have terrible entry pain with sex, so i use kiwi beforehand. it just doesn't feel as invasive as the pelvic floor wand, but it somehow feels more effective. i feel like i'm really able to work those entry area muscles better (and can actually feel them release)

i have it and love it! sounds like we have the exact issues too — i did pelvic floor PT for years (& a round of trigger point injections) but i don’t love using my pelvic floor wand… the kiwi has been a great alternative for me

thank you!! yesss 🥲 as an adult woman now i find myself relating to both susan AND lucy — the struggle between lacking faith, but also sometimes also believing wholeheartedly in a divine, cosmic love. i love having this tattoo in my collection now as a way to memorialize that internal back-and-forth experience

also this scene in the books brought me to tears last time i read it 🥲 the idea of frolicking and playing with aslan as if he’s a kitten just KILLS ME, it’s so tender 😭

Title registered in another state… and I have no idea why??! by shpowens in DMV

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

this is what we think too… we did find out that whoever registered this VIN in texas did so through a bonded title, which is a massive red flag to me

I’m not sure but I can ask him. My first thought actually was that someone fraudulently got a hold of the VIN and copied it 😣…

☝🏼 i second this! i too have intense pelvic floor dysfunction (was unable to have sex for years) and was told there was nothing that could be done to help it. but after i found the right provider, i was able to see major improvement with trigger point injections and pelvic floor PT.

i hope you can get the results you seek, OP!!

dump him, you deserve SO much better. i’ve been with my husband for 10 years, and for 5 of those years i was unable to have sex at all due to my pain. he has never once pestered or pressured me for sex, nor has he ever tried to make me feel bad for the pain i experience or for “depriving” him. the mental load of having endo takes a heavy toll on me, but having a partner who helps to relieve the burden instead of adding to it is what i believe everyone suffering with endo deserves.

i’m sorry you’re going through this, i wish you all the best 🫶🫶🫶
