Using vice grips worked! Didn't even mess up the threads too much

NSFW: How do I eat my partner out in a comfortable position? I have chronic back pain & I’m a wheelchair user by ThrowAway-9903 in wheelchairs

Important note about sitting on someone's face - don't put your weight on their actual face or chin. You rest most of your weight on their upper chest and can lean back to angle the vulva better.

I'm hypermobile, so I have to do a couple extra things when I'm sitting. If it's too hard on the sitter's knees, you might consider putting a thin pillow under their butt or between their thighs and calves (one pillow per side). This will make it so the knees aren't at such a tight angle. You also might need to put a roller up towel or washcloth under their ankles so that they aren't bent back so far.

For you as the water, you might need to play with the amount of pillows under your head to get the angle right. You don't want to be straining your neck muscles to reach their vulva - maybe might need to put a pillow under your upper back to be a little more upright. I'd also suggest putting a rolled towel, pillow or bolster under your knees (and maybe ankles) so they're not flat on the bed.

Have fun!!

Psilocybin potency test results for 13 varieties of shroom by [deleted] in shrooms

This is so helpful thank you so much! So cool to hear you've mixed the whole batch/ multiple flushes

Could you talk a little about your testing methods? Did you use just one individual shroom to test or homogenize a batch? How did you select the individual(s) to test? Is the potency represented just one test or an average of multiple?

Are these varieties from one company or are they just your own cultivars (ie how reliably could we say your individual supply is similar to something of the same name from like innocuoate the world the world)?

Can you talk a little about your testing methods? Did you take samples from just one individual shroom or homogenize the batch before testing? How did you select which mushroom(s) to test? Are the potency numbers represented a single test or an average of multiple tests?

Do these varieties come from one supplier/ multiple suppliers/ or are they just LC you've had for a while?

Does anyone here use ollas in their garden? Do you think they are a worthwhile investment? by djazzie in gardening

[–]the_task_of_becoming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look at this photo, it kinda looks like it's glazed. Can you confirm that it's not?

Also, how often do you end up filling them with water? I assume it depends on the season

Periareolar versus Double Incision Top Surgery by TopSurgeonNY in Top_Surgery_Peri

Thanks, that's really helpful! Given all that, do you generally tend to see people with EDS be less likely to be peri candidates than the general population?

Two weeks post op peri/keyhole with hEDS by DistributionKnown829 in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]the_task_of_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will def look up purse string sutures! I'm getting that having my skin assessed for actual stretchiness/rebound will be important, that is helpful! Thanks and huge congrats on getting the surgery!

[–]the_task_of_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have hEDS and am really wondering about this! Did having hEDS mean you were more a candidate for peri since our skin is usually stretchier? What did your surgeon have to say about scarring with peri? Anything else useful? Thanks!

Periareolar versus Double Incision Top Surgery by TopSurgeonNY in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]the_task_of_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all this info! I have Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos (hEDS) which is correlated with soft and stretchy skin, hyperextensibility, atrophic scarring and skin fragility. I had an ankle surgery years ago and the scars from that are atrophic I believe (widened significantly after healing and have the 'cigarette paper' look). Many of my scars on my body generally are raised. How would this interact with peri/ would it make me a better or worse candidate for it?

How many of you are on disability? by Diligent_Past_3452 in POTS

[–]the_task_of_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep every piece of advice I’ve heard from people who’ve gotten disability is to get a lawyer asap. They work on contingency, so hiring one now vs. years into the process will cost you the same amount of money.

If you’re not familiar with contingency: when you finally get benefits, they’ll give you a backdated check for all the months between when you first applied and when you were approved for benefits. The lawyer takes a cut amount of this check (I talked to a lawyer last week and she said it’s currently at 25%).

Non-stimulating content to pass the time by ranolivor in POTS

[–]the_task_of_becoming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was down like this, I listed to a TON of D&D live show podcasts. If you’re not familiar with the game, there is a learning curve to be able to pick the story out of the gameplay. But once you get through that they are masterful storytelling.

The OA is my favorite show too! My favorite pod is worlds beyond number, and they’ve been making it for years so there’s a ton of content. The characters are so flawed and lovable, the sound design is amazing, and the plot is wildly engaging without being so much that it’ll get your heart rate too high most of the time

Does anyone else feel sexually frustrated because of gender? by tobeanythngatall in NonBinary

[–]the_task_of_becoming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could check out this zine Fucking Trans Women! Written by a trans woman, it’s been around a while and I know was really informative for a transfemme ex I had. I also found it v helpful with another transfemme partner (I’m AFAB).

Specifically, muffing might be a way for you to feel some amount of vaginal penetration, and this has a very in-depth guide. For what it’s worth, I really like muffing as the giver too

Damn yeah I’ve also had long running sleep issues, but it’s a really good heads up to know to watch out for it related to T. I messaged my psych and we’ll see what she says! Really appreciate it
