Well, it has no flavor so I feel like it has to have SOMETHING going for it.

You need to get some better arugula then. It should have a fresh, effervescent bite to it.

On topic: I've recently started going condomless with my girlfriend of 5 years (after she got an IUD and decided that the risk was acceptable). When I begin the penetration I feel a lot with my dick, but after a little bit I feel less. Is it overstimulation or something? When we used condoms it felt mostly the same throughout sex until orgasm.

Inexperienced,
heartless,
but even so
Could also be there's more lubrication post-penetration which reduces friction. Or your dick is shrinking

This happens when my gf and I have sex, and I think it's because as things go forward she gets more aroused/aroused in a way that causes her vagina muscles to loosen up a bit. I've made this determination because when she's coming I can feel her vagina squeezing and pulsing, and on those strokes where she's mid-pulse it feels like it does when we start. Maybe condomless feels better to your gf, to the extent that her vagina relaxes more as you get going than it did with a sensual layer of latex between you two. That's just a big thick erect anecdote tho so maybe not who knows.

Yes. (this is from my sexual experience as a woman) After coming the vagina will relax and get "bigger" plus really wet and then its not so intense for the guy. Kind of a bummer, but remember you made her come and thats fabulous.

The difference is probably not so noticeable with a condom.

What are good goon-approved creams for removing genital hair for sensitive skin????

Amazon seems to recommend stuff like Nair and Nads but they have hilarious comments.

I don't approve of any depilatory creams being placed anywhere near sensitive mucous membranes. It's just not worth it. At least the pain of waxing is expected and short lived.

There was a thread in here a while back where someone did an Ask/Tell about laser hair removal. Don't remember too many details other than they were happy with the results.

Laser in short: it hurts, requires multiple sessions, and depends on your hair and skin tone, but it's permanent.

Semipermanent reduction, they usually say 6 years. The only permanent-permanent reduction is electrolysis iirc. Laser hair removal doesn't necessarily really hurt, depending on the machine (and probably on your skin tone). I'm a cis woman who got lased awhile ago, AMA.

A girl I know who got it done said it hurt like hell, she also said it was totally worth it.

YMMV I guess.

Do you shoot lasers out of your vagina now or was it a one-way operation?

It hurts, potentially quite a lot, although opinions differ on how much and what kind of pain (for me it feels very stabby, some people I've talked to say it's more burny), and the amount of pain will also vary with where you're getting lasered (primarily, with how sensitive the underlying nerves are x how dense the hair is there).

It only affects hair in a certain stage of growth (with the hair at the surface but still connected to the follicle). So for a while you'll be going through a cycle of laser, nothing for a while, then patches of new hair growing in. 10-15 sessions is typical to get complete removal (or as good as you can get with laser given your hair type, anyways), IIRC.

After a session, you can expect a week or two of shaving not really working properly, then the hair is just gone and stays gone until the next growth cycle starts (and those will be sparser and sparser as you continue). The result is noticeably smoother than even a very close shave, at least with facial hair.

In the worst spots, it feels like an extremely tight rubber band snapping against your skin except the rubber band is also on fire.

Before I tried it, I heard stories about how much it hurt that made me super nervous, but it turned out to be really overblown in my experience. I got groupons for different places, so I tried several different lasers. The Cynosure iirc puffed cool air at the same time it zapped, so it added up to basically nothing. You could feel the others, but it didn't hurt as much as a good rubber band snap -- less than a slap, I'd say, and in a tiny area.

The super weird and super cool thing is that as soon as one zap is over, its pain stops. Like if you actually got snapped or slapped or stabbed, you would obviously have pain even after the contact stopped. Lasers don't do that -- each zap is just there and then instantly gone. It's not inflamed or stinging or anything afterward. It does still release endorphins, so after my leg appointments I would leave all giggly and high.

Yes. I'm about 80% through facial hair treatment and it's quite nice to no longer have to deal with murderous ingrown black guy hair.

It stings a bit, especially on the mustache, but it's not bad at all.

You can do anything except your eyebrows. It would work for brows but they don't want to risk blinding you with the laser (for all lasing, you wear sunglasses that block the laser's wavelength).

My place has opaque googles (like swim googles) for near-eye work. They'll touch up around my orbitals, tho I don't know if they'll do eyebrows (I like mine).

I got it done on my cislady neck hair and it wasn't bad at all. Hurts way, way, way less than waxing. They just bug you a lot about wearing sunscreen, which I found worse (but understandable because you are photosensitive and they have to worry about liability)

I’ll also refute the “no inflammation” claim - I have super sensitive skin and it always looked and felt like a moderate sunburn for a day or two. That was consistent across several different facilities and lasers. It’s a very individual experience!

Also eyebrows are there for a good reason - to stop sweat dripping into your eyes.

Personally, I can only trim my junk and not shave it. I have very thick, very fast-growing hair all over my body, so a good shave of the junk-area just leaves me with destructive stubble five or six hours later.

I’m thinking about starting to take arginine to supplement my exercise routine because I’ve been reading about how it can improve how much one can work out before fatigue and also help with the physical effects of anxiety.

Since I’ve seen people talk about it in this thread, how much are you taking? My erectile health is pretty good most days short of when anxieties get the better of me, but I wouldn’t mind if it turns them into steel in an ice storm.

Usually 5 grams, I buy it in 1000mg tablets. I've experimented with taking it in 1-2 gram doses throughout the day or all at once about an hour before sex, doesn't seem to make much of a difference on its effect either way.

Makes getting and keeping erections much easier, but to be fair I'm in my mid-30s. Effect may not be as pronounced depending on age, and you may not need as much.

I have noticed megadosing (8+ grams) makes a huge difference for cardiovascular exercise. I can run much further/faster without getting as winded after taking that much an hour to an hour and a half before exercising.

Thanks for telling me! Any side effects you’ve experienced?

arginine is absorbed or pissed out of your body in 80 minutes, so when you take it throughout the day isn't really that important if you are taking it for boner pills (but i would lean into taking it all at the same time).

it's also important to note that arginine is treating physiological difficulties with getting a huge boner and not psychological ones and as such might not be super helpful for your situation. but hey, maybe it will!

it's also an amino acid, which is a thing that already exists in your body (although obviously not in these doses). i wouldn't worry a whole lot about side effects beyond the usual things that can arise from orally taking something your stomach isn't used to.

No noticeable side effects. I think the only thing that's ever been observed was my semen had an intense bitter taste once after I shotgunned a handful of them before sex, but I cannot confirm the arginine tablets were the only cause.
