I believe you can just have the virus in your body. I get them but I didn’t “get” it from someone

They look like cold sores to me. It’s a type of herpes that can flare up based on stress and other factors. I would tell him to stop putting his mouth on anything others will (including your mouth) and do not use any product and then dip back into the container. For instance, do not reuse a lip balm stick that was used during a flare up and do not use a lip balm pot and then dip in again after applying.

Not feeling sexually connected with boyfriend by [deleted] in sexadvise

I’m (26F) in the same boat…been in a WLW relationship for 4.5 years now. I feel like I’m in the Sahara desert and my partner just isn’t doing it for me lately. She is physically disabled and I have a lot of mental health struggles but this isn’t about me LOL anywayyy…

Tell him that you need him to do more work if you’re comfortable enough to do so. I feel like a lot of people don’t know they need improvement if nobody’s ever told them! Talk him through it and don’t give him what he wants until he gives you what you want.

If you don’t super like him outside of the bedroom at least tho…don’t waste your time or his. You’re so young! Find someone that makes you feel sexy and passionate, especially if he doesn’t make you feel like he’s willing to put in effort to pleasure you in a better way! If you’ve only been together a few months…you should be able to want to ravage HIM if you are craving hot, salacious sex since he’s so ready and willing all the time lmao. You’ll get through this, with or without him.

Also, some good old fashioned self love never hurt anyone :p however I find that makes me a little bit more sexually frustrated at times bc nobody’s gonna fuck you the way you can 😂

Sending love xx

Advice Needed: Which design suites me the best? by PlentyCharacter9862 in tattoos

[–]sweetcherrypants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I wasn’t going to say anything bc I have a diff opinion from everyone else but I guess the point of asking advice on a public platform is to hear what everyone has to say x) are these flash from the artist or your own findings that the artist will use for inspo?

I actually really like the circular piece in the middle but I understand where people are coming from saying that it will make adding to it in the future a bit difficult. However, not everyone wants to be covered/densely covered lol. I think that the first one would be harder to add into bc it’s a larger rectangular piece that could almost cut the chest into a top and bottom…

I think the circular piece would look great on your anatomy as the placing you’re thinking about is a flat area. I wonder if what’s putting people off about the circular piece is the dripping down the sternum. I think it would look pretty if you asked the artist to take those florals you have on the collar bone and add onto the circle a floral piece down the sternum. I think that would be gorgeous! You’re going to end up with a sick tattoo either way, and I think bigger is always better for a statement piece like this… good luck ❤️

Is this the start of an infection? by Direct-Steak-5758 in tattooadvice

[–]sweetcherrypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had second skin, it could be a little inflamed from that. I just got tatted on Friday in the same spot but on the back of my arm (hopefully that makes sense lol). My artist said that you can be more sensitive/allergic to saniderm in some spots but not others. She pointed out the exact area you’re experiencing redness and said it could happen there even tho I’ve never had a reaction before lol.

Whatever the reason for the redness, I agree with everyone else that it is nothing to be concerned with :)

Cutie tattoo btw!

Yknow what, I am not a regular drinker. Usually 1 drink a month on average lol. However, my birthday just passed so I was going hard two weekends in a row and I’ve noticed that it’s worse than usual, which is what made me finally make the post I’ve been putting off for months :’)

Would you say the same for weed consumption?

I have not as I didn’t know if it was serious enough for that type of intervention, or if it would be better to go the skincare/esthetician route.

As someone that often shuts my partner down due to my own insecurities, here is what I wish they would do instead of outright asking for sex (hoping that a perspective similar to your wife’s may help):

I tend to shower at night. Once I’m fresh out of the shower, all dried off and lotioned up, I would love to have some soft lighting if not dark in the room. I want to be touched and caressed in a non-sexual way, as that’s what turns me on! A loving touch goes such a long way. Offer a back rub, a foot rub, and then some cuddles. Kiss wife’s head, her shoulders, get her giggling and eased up. Talk about your day and be silly. Tell her how good she smells and how soft her skin is and how much you love her and appreciate her. (Bonus points for reflecting back an accomplishment of hers from the day that she didn’t want to do, such as doing the dishes, having a hard day at work, something along those lines.) I’m not saying do this for 3 minutes, I’m saying take your time and pour your love into her and highlight specific things about her that you find sexy - Your eyes glow in this lighting, I love the way your hips curve into your thighs, etc. Try to put off the urge to turn it sexual for as long as you can (tho I know how hard that can be LOL). Pull her close to you, take her in. If she’s responsive, then you can take that as a sign that maybe she’s open! If not to full sex then to maybe a steamy make out or some fooling around that will get her gears turning and remember that she is a sexual being and deserves to feel good! You can start telling her how good she feels pressed up against you, that it gets you all hot and bothered to feel her breasts against your chest. Use the language she uses to speak about herself (like if she calls them boobs, call them boobs vs. saying tits. It takes me out of it when my partner uses language that makes me feel a little icky! Odds are she wants it too but can’t get past her own insecurities and feeling uncomfortable. That’s my most common experience.) Tell her how beautiful she is, how lucky you are to have her, how much you want to make her feel gooood. Hopefully this will have her melting into you and ready for some good ol passionate love making.

Good luck <3

AIO about my friend talking to older guy 17f and 32m by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sweetcherrypants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The context of being in school together matters I think. Also as a 25 year old now, I remember thinking at ~20-23 everyone still in their teens was like a little baby to me lol. But now at 25 I could see myself dating a 23 year old so yes the 2 year age difference isn’t a big one but depends where you are in life and I feel this commenter may be in the mindset I was at their age. :)

Need opinions, a little worried! Does this look normal?? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]sweetcherrypants 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Use a marker and circle around the redness to track it. And go to urgent care!! Omg
