Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

Reply in thread

Uhh. Hi, woman here...RIP my inbox but I think it's important parents talk to teenagers of all genders about this and consider having them look for toys they can experiment with if they express interest. Just because we don't orgasm from penetration doesn't mean it feels bad lol. Better they have toys available so they're less likely to use something inappropriate.

Oh, that line I gave him about logic was one of the last things I said as I finished picking up my stuff to walk out the door. I followed up with "it's been fun - good luck." He had just kept digging in and I told him I'm not taking it upon myself to educate him. He can read a book or two about it

Thank you for sharing your experience, though it fucking sucks. You're right that I do feel empowered for recognizing my worth. Just hate that it's coming from mistreatment, you know? Here's to finding empowerment through healthy means and healthy partners 💜

Oh, that was one of the yellow flags! I mentioned that I'd been following the case with Tate, and he's a sex trafficker. Homeboy said "well it's not proven in court" like...sir lol. Fucking yikes. Definitely not ignoring that in the future

My dad has raged about this so much he's worked himself into apathy. He can't vote for a Republican or Democrat. Honestly, I'll take it. Means I'm at least canceling out my mom's vote, and my brother will get us the +1

I still expect republican voters to be fairly consistent, so remember folks, friends don't let friends not vote!

GOP Silent as Mormon Church Gunman Identified as ‘Ultra MAGA’ Trump Supporter

Reply in thread

Trump has. He posted about how "they" are attacking Christians iirc (at first it was radical leftists, then he posted again with more ambiguous language, I think). Interesting, most Christians don't consider Mormons part of Christianity- and Kirks murderer was raised Mormon. Trump helped amplify fear mongering with that, too, so. Gee, I wonder why a Mormon church was targeted by a Trump supporter?

Well, not that I think it has to be your experience by any means, that's part of the beauty of life - we're all a bit different and into different things. I do quite enjoy penetration without need for lube (I mean, I do need to have natural lube, obviously). I usually get myself there with just hands and might use a dildo when I'm worked up enough. Vibrators are great, no doubt. I don't typically use toys, though, honestly. I did more in my teens when I was ignorant to how my body worked lol. Which is why I wrote the OG comment...I didn't have appropriate toys, and it caused some shame on occasion. I knew it felt good but didn't feel safe talking to my parents about it.

I heard a pet behaviorist explain the mirror test for roosters/chickens had to be designed with consideration for them being social animals. They found when putting a mirror without other chickens around, the roosters wouldn't crow when a predator was flying overhead. Yet, with other chickens there, they did

Gotta know how to design the test, essentially

TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

Reply in thread

Yes, the sentencing ranges from probation to 4 years in prison. Given this is his first conviction and he's a former president, I assume probation will be given. Though, he's still under a gag order afaik...so if he violates that or probation somehow, maybe brief house arrest?

I definitely want pictures of him picking up trash with the secret service hanging around, at the very least

Joe Biden suddenly leads Donald Trump in multiple polls

Reply in thread

I'm still voting for Biden in a red state. We used to be more purple and really still are if looking just at the popular vote. He lost here by 500k votes in 2020 but it's very possible these narratives being pushed about swing states affect turnout more than we give credit for. We're lucky to get 50% turnout of registered voters in presidential elections. Local elections are more like 25% if we're being generous, and those are more important.

What's a thing that increased your power?

Internet. I've lived in rural areas most of my life and only in the last five years was able to start gaming with friends and watching unlimited video. I feel much less resentment that people don't want to visit me and am happier getting my social needs met in person by physically going out less often (I still get out once a week ish)

It's not a replacement for intimate relationships but any means, but I do think it can enhance them with healthy boundaries n whatnot. I went through a rough break up recently that's had me realizing I'd like a partner that's ok with me having space to chill with friends day to day but still making time for each other.
