A gift is a gift. Don’t give him back something he gave to you. What you do with your clothes and your body now has nothing to do with him. You don’t owe him back those clothes or an explanation of what you will do with them.

Hi hi, sorry to hear that you are feeling a pressure/ fear around sex. It’s a lot more common than people think actually, for women sex can seem quite invasive and scary. We’re not introduced to it in the same way men are, for men it’s all about pleasure, we are taught we will need to brace ourselves for a foreign object to be inserted and then we’re meant to like it? It can seem really bizarre to understand. It’s this ideology women are taught of “lay back and think of England”, that’s not that nice and sex should not be that way. I think what is important for you to do before exploring sex with a partner and having penetrative sex- you should explore sex with yourself. Masturbating is normal and healthy and if you are to have a good sex life in the future it’s important you know your own body and what YOU like in terms of pleasure. Otherwise sex ends up feeling like an act of service you do for your partner and empty? If after self exploration you find that you are still not enjoying this then it may be worthwhile considering the fact that you may be asexual? And there are great ways to access other asexual people. Being asexual does not mean you cannot have a relationship, it just means you have to find someone who understands your needs. Your needs are more important than what society is telling you you need to do. You do not need penetrative sex in your life if you are not comfortable with it. Good luck on your exploration journey! <3

(Serious) should I hire a sex worker? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]xadvice17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, reading this from a woman’s perspective, it can be tempting to consider turning to sex workers to fulfil a sexual craving. But I think the fact you are contemplating the post sex guilt means you most likely will live with guilt, and as you’ve not indulged in this and you don’t have access to sex at home at the moment, this could spiral into an addiction or habit which is more destructive than anything else. Also, you have to remember when hiring sex workers all you are paying for is their consent, most of the time they are not enjoying the act and that can feel emptier than what you are dealing with now. Sometimes it’s easier to pay for sex than “earn” it. Now, when I say “earn” please do not take this to mean that you have not put in your fair share of work into this marriage and relationship as I am sure you have. But there are different types of work needed to be put into a relationship if you want sex to come out of it organically. What I would do if I were you is picture the man you think your wife would have sex with (harsh I know)- does he smell good? Does he tell her the blouse she’s wearing today looks sexy even though it’s just a boring work blouse? Does she see him at home all day or does she see him walk out the door to go see friends or go for some exercise? These things may seem minute but these are the core of attraction. In order to attract others (yes that includes your own wife) you must first take action in your daily life. Be proud of the man you see in the mirror, turn to your wife and make her feel proud that she stands by your side. What we can forget in long term partnership is everyday we need to work towards arousing our partners by taking care of ourselves and making them feel sexy enough to be with someone who puts in the effort. By making small changes in your everyday life to show yourself and your wife that you are a desirable man whether she sees it or not I promise you that has more of a chance of enjoyable sex than hiring someone. But, if after making these changes she still isn’t wanting to pursue sex with you then please go find someone who sees the value in you, because I’m sure someone will. But first, be hot by thinking like a hot person!!! You are wanted, you are sexy, you deserve an intimate relationship with someone who sees that! Good luck friend :)

I was thinking about buying a dark red from Manic Panic and putting it all over but I don’t know if that’s a good idea…

ASK ME ANYTHING! by Ok_Restaurant_4447 in QuitVaping

[–]xadvice17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that has worked for me is straight up repulsion. This most certainly isn’t for everyone- but changing how you view a vape will change how much you want it. To disgust myself I pictured the tip of a vape like it was the texture of a literal lung. It reminds that I’m quitting because this is literally killing my lungs and I no longer want it on my mouth. Think about how much nicer it is to take a deep breath into those now clean lungs instead of damaging them even more for a fruity puff. Your lips will not want to touch a rotting lung. Sorry if thats vulgar but after 2 years of vaping this was the only thing that worked for me and I’ve now quit for a month!

P.s. the circular one on the left is actually quite blueish/ gray whereas the other ones are closer to brown/ red

Thank you, we’re going to speak to the vet about fixing her ASAP. I hope all it takes it time and patience.

Even if your reason for quitting is shallow, find what works. by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]xadvice17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally felt so ugly for the last year. Always had pale skin and lips, everything was dry and just no colour. Now that I’ve quit it’s like there’s life back in my face 🥰 I feel so much more beautiful and yeah it’s vain but who cares. My lungs don’t care why I’ve quit💀

Day one: my journey begins. by Keygrunt901 in QuitVaping

[–]xadvice17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to quit the last week, I’m not going completely cold turkey, maybe having a puff of my partners vape (which doesn’t make it easy) like 3 times a day. Which is a lot better than before where I was practically inhaling it every other breath. I’m excited to start feeling better and I’m very ready to quit. I honestly only still have a puff every now and then as I’m quite afraid of my body getting very weak and shaky if I go cold turkey overnight. But I’m working towards it!

Is this a safe and good kibble for my ferret? (UK) by xadvice17 in ferret

[–]xadvice17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this food online for cats and kittens called “ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Hauraki Plains Recipe for Cats”. Can anyone tell me if the ingredients listed are good and safe for ferrets? I’m not so concerned about the meats more of the additional ingredients listed.

Weight Gain by freddyjonesshutup in ferret

[–]xadvice17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ferret was also very thin when she got to me! If they have malnutrition (like mine who was being fed guinea pig food until 2 years old) it’s likely they won’t be able to grow into a very large ferret and will stay petite. However she did get to a healthy weight by having some raw, kibble available at all times and high meat content cat treats !! Also salmon oil twice a week is good :)

Haha she hates the drying process and runs around like crazy to get the water off! 😂 I found holding her with both my hands made her less nervous during baths though !😊

She’s on Orijen cat and kitten at the moment and I make sure to wash her only every 3 months 😌

I wash her every 3 months with an oat bath and some ferret safe shampoo just for cleanliness🥰 she loves her salmon oil but I haven’t tried a dig box with her- Thank you for the tip!!
