Go through your body from the head down, tensing each muscle for a few seconds and then letting it relax, one at a time. Then, work really hard at really envisioning somewhere, seeing all the detail in your mind's eye. Focus on it. Imagine feeling the physical sensations of being there. The gentle sway of a hammock, the warmth of the sun radiating down on your face. Giving your mind something to focus on lets it stop being so active, and lets it relax. It's like having the tv on late at night putting you to sleep.
With the physical relaxation from the tensing and loosening and the mental relaxation, sleep should come much easier. It does take practice though.
All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...
Ok I like to take coconut oil, the kind that's a solid at room temp, melt it, and let it solidify in ice cube trays at room temp. Then, when I go to put a plug in long term, I pop a lube cube in first. Easy long term lubing
Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.
I want an internet controlled plug but all I hear is how terrible the involved companies are, privacy wise. Fuck, maybe I'll make my own, I'm already casting grinding toys. I'm sure some people have put together an open source project for the hardware and software portions.
Transfem who hasn't really done anything transition wise yet here. After a couple months of anal with (good) toys just fucking myself was consistently better than cumming. Legs trembling, uncontrollable clenching and moaning, being a leaky shivering trembling mess. Cumming just kills the horny and stops the party. If I have the self control to not jerk off and cum while fucking myself I can be on that state like indefinitely and it's awesome, such an endorphin rush, way better than jerking off and cumming ever was.
A lot of incremental games I see are in perpetual development. They are never truly finished, the developer always promises that another content update is around the corner. And those content updates get released, and the games eventually get really big. They grow to have prestige layers approaching the double digits, or months...
Incremental games are kinda nihilistic to me. I find a neat new one and get the rush of making progress, then a few days later the emptiness of it and existence in general hits me and I stop
It's art without an artist. Or maybe rather more accurately it's huge amounts of other peoples art put through a blender and reconstituted into a solid block of art product. Actually, yeah, it's the equivalent of spam, the tinned meat product. It has its uses, but it doesn't taste good to most people, and there are a few die hard fans.
Doing image editing/compositing/art yourself is just more genuine. It doesn't have to be the adobe product, there's tons of editors and art programs out there. Stumbling through gimp patching and editing a meme together gives the end result some charm imo. YMMV, but that's how I see it and I think a lot of others do to. Where AI generated imagery shines is utilitarian areas. Generating tokens for npcs in ttrpgs, rapidly iterating through concepts for a design, that sort of thing.
Yeah, but the machine learning is the art, not what it produces. Don't get me wrong, generative ai is super cool. However, justifiably or no, most people don't see someone who just types prompts into generative ai as an artist.
Hello, I am 20F and have been texting this guy (21) I met for about 2 years now. We actually live close to each other. It’s about 30 to 40 minutes but throughout the time when we will plan a date, either he or I would cancel for me, it was due to insecurities (We’ll get into that later). He has expressed to me many times...
Dating that kind of person is worse than being single, by far. In what you've shown us he's displayed 0 interest or care in you, aside from sex. And, as you noted, the hypocrisy of judging you for sex work and then turning around and wanting an only sexual relationship is disgusting. On top of him being terrible, it sounds like you're also just incompatible on a "what you want out of life" level.
From my perspective, if you're having this much stress dealing with him now, it's only going to be worse if you start dating. Something I try to remember, dating isn't the goal, enjoying dating someone is the goal. If you aren't enjoying talking to him now, it's not going to get better by dating him.
Porn star called roxy raye! Super hot, has done some extreme anal stuff that honestly inspired me a bit to try it, she's done some kinkier stuff as well, I'm honestly more an erotica person than a pornstar person but definitely a fan of her. Unfortunately she was in a really serious car accident. She's ok afaik thankfully, but doesn't do porn any more. Really should have recognized the gender envy from watching her for what it was but hey
I'll dream that I check the time on my phone when I'm laying in bed in the morning and it'll say something an hour or two after I'm supposed to be up and working and I'll wake up without realizing I was asleep and start getting up before realizing what just happened
Ime, people who are curious about anal and want to try putting something up their butt aren't big enough to take cucumbers (or at least they think so, you're stretchier than you realize), and people who can take larger stuff have actual toys that are better in every way. Although, as improv dildos, they're actually not bad imo. Better than most everything else I tried when I was a curious butt noob
Have no idea what it is about, other than being decentralised. Some basic search results suggests that its a sham, scam and riddled with crypto ideas. Or is it apart of something noteworthy? Geuinly curious what the general consensus is of the Web3.

I've been commenting less because it feels like the amount of vitriol is going up. Why stress myself with people's responses when no one really cares what I have to say
There's always someone who's looking to interpret what you say as badly as possible so they can feel good about confronting you about it. I'm not being like "oh people these days are too sensitive", just... some people take everything way too seriously and are looking for things to be upset over and I hate when that's me. Really pokes my anxiety tbh. I want to stress it's not like I'm out here making shitty edgy jokes and then getting upset when no one likes them, it's just day to day comments. I dunno. I overthink a lot about whether I'm the problem, had an extremely negative self image for a long time where I blamed myself for every negative interaction I had and it's hard to let that go.
And like there's genuinely good positive replies and interactions, but they don't stick with me like the negative ones do.
I'm mentally fragile I guess, I just honestly do my best to be an understanding and accepting and positive person and it hurts to have somebody think the opposite, even though their opinion has absolutely no bearing on my life. I dunno, it's... I guess it's because I'm trying to be perfectly pleasing people generally and when I fall short of that impossible standard it hurts. I'm massively overthinking this, I know. Just something that's been weighing on my mind.
I didn't make it, but studying this empirically I can say that if I made it based off of my experiences women would still be missing cause I still haven't quite figured out how to feel like one yet 😐

Honestly was just really coming into my sexuality anyways, pans pan though. It's just that it feels so much more right with my attraction to women being gay and my attraction to men being straight.
Boeing is for sure a shit show and terribly managed, but I don't think they would blatantly kill guys like that. I think it's far more likely that the first guy did kill himself because he figured everybody would think Boeing whacked him and that would do far more damage to the company than his testimony would. Now any news...
So for anyone who calls their partners honourifics and or pet names, what are some you’d suggest? I have 49 partners and I’m starting to run out of actual pet names.
