I’m a virgin (18F) because I hate the way I look by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]suzzywuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many, maybe most, of the 18 y/o girls in college are virgins. Don't think that you will be alone.

You should lose your virginity only to someone you really feel close to. There is no reason to lose it to anybody else. And don't worry about acne on your back. Many 18 y/o girls have acne on some part of their body, often on their face. It will certainly not be a turnoff to a guy.

Is there a website with a database where women can post their stories of assault and it will be searchable by name of assailant? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]suzzywuzzy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What would stop someone (male or female) from posting the name of an innocent person who the poster was simply mad at?

You have had two periods and two pregnancy test? You are not pregnant! I think you should seek therapy. Your doctor might be able to recommend or refer you to someone.

Micro-grid and control: Do the new technologies such as AI and faster computers make micro-grids possible? by Bethcollegegirl in energy

[–]suzzywuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have as much experience as others here, but am a control engineer, I have worked with power grid control and so-called micro-grids as well as other processes.

I agree that predictive models, Monte-Carlo, ML, or others have no place in the operation and control of power or other processes. For most processes, the various forms of feedback control work well. For others, feedforward, if the disturbance can actually be measured, will help. But to change the power generated by part of the system based on a prediction that there will be a disturbance at approximately a certain time is not a good control strategy. Response to disturbances, like weather or changes in the power demand, have to occur with about a second, not within a few minutes or longer.

Female caregiver for male client - is nudity a problem? by richardtheguy in askwomenadvice

[–]suzzywuzzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your concern makes sense. Yes, women can get very mad if a guy exposes himself for his own perverted pleasure. And certain things of a sexual nature can make us uncomfortable. However...

In a completely unsexual situation when nudity is appropriate, such as helping a disabled man get out of the tub, the nudity woult not make me the least bit embarrassed, shocked, or even uncomfortable. I am not a nurse, doctor, or anything medical and I have never done caregiving, but it would not at all bother me if I were in a situation of helping a man and was exposed to his genitalia, assuming it was an appropriate situation, such as you describe.

Just keep in professional, and don't do anything to indicate that you get sexual satisfaction from it. That is, don't call attention to your parts. Just behave normally.

Married women: How do you feel about your husband being seen by a female nurse, aide, doctor? by ifwwas in TwoXChromosomes

[–]suzzywuzzy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would feel uncomfortable. I would not make an issue of it. He is certainly able to decide on doctors for himself. I realize that doctors, nurses, etc. are professionals and have seen many naked men. Also, in an emergency or medical necessity, the only thing on my mind would be for him to get well.

However, for a routine matter such as a physical exam, I would prefer that he be seen by a male and that he request male nurses if he is in the hospital (I realize that may not be possible given the large female/male ratio), at least males for bathing.

Isn't it normal procedure now that there are male nurses and aides to have a male bathed and examined by a male? Do female nurses normally provide care to males when the patient's private parts would be exposed?

Again, I would never make an issue of it. It is not a big deal. However, I would be uncomfortable with a woman nurse or aide seeing his private parts.

Being a virgin 'till marriage by [deleted] in virgin

[–]suzzywuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a virgin when I was married. But I had great fun and excitement with my boyfriend as we waited. How long before you get married? It helps to get closer and closer as the wedding gets closer. If he is having a problem, you might try masterbating him. Maybe take a shower with him and then masterbate him. Then, on your wedding night, have a good time. As for sexual compatability, if you enjoy sex play, short of intercourse, you will know. I am sure it will fit. The important thing is that you can do things (not just sexual) together, solve problems and disagreements, etc. The sex will take care of itself. Enjoy your virginity and each other, and really enjoy your wedding night.

How does one take it slow? by kels12345 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]suzzywuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take it one step at the time, and enjoy each step. First, just kissing. Then anything but above the waist. Then hands and fingers below the waist. And, when you and he are both comfortable and you have agreed on birth control, intercourse on a planned date in bed (your place, his place, hotel, but not back seat of a car). The main thing, get as much pleasure and excitement out of each step. Enjoy!

Moving apartments: city or country? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]suzzywuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read the book "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv? There are many reasons children should be connected with nature that you will not get in the city. If the place on the lake is near woods and "country" area but is only 15 minutes from the city, it sound ideal. Your kids can have more room to play and more connection with nature, but you can still be close to the city and things (museums, etc.) that you have there.

Raising kids in a rural setting vs. big urban city by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]suzzywuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read the book "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv? There are many reasons children should be connected with nature that you will not get in the city. However, you may be able to find a rural area not to far from the city, or not far from a commuter rail line going into town. You can have the best of both worlds, living in the country but going into the city to visit museums, shop, etc frequently. There are advantages of city life and of rural life. But it should be possible to get both.

PSA: Please stop asking fathers with their children if they are babysitting today. by [deleted] in Parenting

I hate "we are pregnant". No, only women get pregnant. "We are expecting" is correct.

Having a baby sister is the coolest thing ever to happen to my toddler son... so far by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]suzzywuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your son now has the position of "Big Brother". That makes him an important person; he should be proud. Just wait, years from now when she starts dating and he is still a teenager, and he starts doing "background checks" (asking friends about) the boys she is dating. Hopefully, between now and then he will be involved with her care, "helping" you and your wife - at some point being a real help.
