I grew up in suburban Ohio and my school district had a pretty decent sex education program - it was basically presented as "abstinence is the only foolproof method, but if you choose to not abstain here's how to be safe about it."

We started in 5th grade and it was covered in some fashion every year until you completed the two credits of high school health class required for graduation .

When I lived in an apartment it was pretty much a fact of life that you'd hear sex noises through the wall. We were woken up at least twice a week by the couple on the other side of the wall having extremely loud, long sex sessions.

Not 100% sure but this could have something to do with it.

Cleveland.com posted:

Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Sunday signed a bill intended to block Planned Parenthood from receiving funding for services it provides in health clinics around the state, although the new law would have no impact on abortion services.

The bill, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Bill Patmon of Cleveland and Republican Rep. Margaret Conditt of Butler County, forbids the state from contracting for health services with any entity that performs or promotes non-therapeutic abortions.

TL;DR as part of the anti-abortion at the state level push Ohio has cut all state funding to PP, so its possible that state funds that used to cover part of the STI test are no longer available.

you could also try a cock ring

Seconding this, they're great for keeping you erect and you even get a slight temporary boost to girth.

I've also experimented with l-arginine and l-lysine supplements, they're precursors of nitric oxide which is a vasodialator. I haven't exactly carried out a blind peer reviewed study but anecdotally it does seem to help - either taking them daily or mega-dosing (4-5 grams of arginine with about half as much lysine) an hour or so before you plan on having sex has made a noticeable difference.

Seconding the cock ring advice, its made a huge difference for me in maintaining erections. Start with a cheap silicone/rubber ring and if it works well for you I'd suggest investing in a stainless steel ring or rings. If you do go that route you'll want to buy a sizing kit - you'll get 9-10 plastic rings in varying diameters so you can try them out before dropping $30+ on a stainless steel ring, and sizing is very important with solid rings so you don't end up having to go to the ER to have an undersized ring cut off.

I've also had success with erection-aiding non-prescription supplements - mainly l-arginine and l-lysine taken at a 2:1 ratio an hour or so before sex. They're both vasodialators and aid in blood flow, and while I haven't personally experienced it some have reported they increase sensation as well.

Silicone based lubes are good but I'd suggest trying some coconut oil first. My wife and I used pjur for a while and its great for our applications - her vagina is very sensitive and she's a prolific squirter so most/all water-based lubes don't work well for us for one/both reasons - but then we ran out and tried coconut oil in a pinch. Just as good, cheaper and a lot easier to find. Oh - and also easier to clean up.

e: missed the condom requirement.

I thought l-arginine/lysine/lecithin was just for increasing semen volume/ejaculate intensity. I've done that before and it did increase that to some extent but it wasn't any easier to get to climax.

Arginine & lysine are nitric oxide precursors, taken with each other at a 2:1 ratio results in stronger erections. I took them daily for a few months in the summer of 2015, it made a slight difference but wasn't worth taking daily. I just take them a few hours before sex now and it has almost the same effect. Might be a different story as I get older though (mid-30s now.)

Lecithin is supposed to make your semen thicker/more plentiful, tried it also in 2015 and really didn't see much of a difference. Maybe if you mega-dose on it, but caplets are kind of expensive and it's hard to stomach in large quantities in granule form.

Hey guys,

Likely a common problem but just need some advice. Me and my girlfriend have sex 3-4 times a week, and as part of that, each time, I get her off with oral sex. Now, I don’t mind doing this as I want us both to be happy and satisfied, but as of late my neck has been KILLING me as sometimes I will be at work for up to 15 minutes.

I general pull her to the edge of the bed and am on my knees to do my thing, but am just wondering if you guys know about anything else I can do? Otherwise, I will have to do it less because my neck hates me.

This was me with my wife when we first got together - I would go down on her about as many times per week, and it got to the point where it was taking over a half hour. She just got desensitized after about a month at that rate.

You might try backing off to twice a week and see if she is able to reach orgasm easier/more quickly.

I wonder if a non-silicone cock ring would help in that regard.

Stainless cock rings (at least if sized properly) don't result in a permanent erection until removed. I regularly wear one during sex (recreationally, I don't need it for ED) and can easily go flaccid with it on.

Think of them as an erection enhancer rather than a maintainer.

Encrypt your whole phone and/or use an app that allows creation of encrypted file containers to store the files in.

As to why it's safe - anything that uses 256 bit encryption methods is practically unbreakable using current technology, assuming you use a sufficiently strong password.

To put it in easy to digest terms - AES 256 bit encryption is so strong that the FBI has asked phone manufacturers on several occasions to program back doors into their encryption so law enforcement can bypass it, and the NSA uses it to encrypt top secret information. Short of a breakthrough in quantum computing it would take any computer that could be conceivably created in our lifetime millions of years to actually break the encryption key.

The only method that works is breaking the password set for encryption, so you want something very strong. Use the longest password with the most variation - letters, numbers, symbols, vary case and no repetitive common words - that you can remember.

If you're really paranoid it's possible to use key files that must be present even if you know the password, which can then be hidden in another encrypted file and/or saved in a hidden/secure location.

e: although I would observe that the chances of someone wanting your nude pictures badly enough to go through the trouble of brute forcing your password or coercing the password out of you are slim to none.

Do you have to keep your nude pictures on your phone? Cos the easiest way to make it so that someone can't get to information is to put it in a locked room.

I'd agree with this, if you have access to a computer made in the past decade it would be best to encrypt a thumb drive and store them there. Phones are inherently insecure, and having them on removable media will put an air gap between the media and the internet, vs on a device that is constantly connected to the internet.

Arginine definitely helps - I'm in my mid-30s and there's a noticeable difference between erections when I've taken between 4 and 6 grams and not. Easier to get and maintain as well as firmer overall.

Cunter Prductive posted:

What's the best exercise for this?

Being in good overall shape makes a big difference as you get out of your teens/early 20s. You don't have to be an endurance runner or massively built weight lifter, but being able to run or at least jog a few blocks without getting majorly winded is a good benchmark.

You could also try a cock ring. I wear (recreationally - I don't have any issues getting or keeping it up without) a stainless ring and I'd describe it as being as hard as you can get from start to finish without any drop. You'll want to start with a rubber or elastic ring - metal rings are serious business and need to be properly sized, and while not prohibitively expensive they're not exactly cheap either.

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.

What are people's experience of using oil or oil-based lubes? The prospect of not needing to reapply lube is appealing, but I've heard it's more trouble to use as well. I have a penis if it matters.

I use coconut oil fairly regularly both for solo and penetrative sex. Cheap, easy to find, solid below ~75 degrees, lubricates well, does not wash off in use but is easy to clean with soap/water or a towel and is a good moisturizer to boot.

We ended up completely replacing silicone-based lubricant with it, mainly for cost and ease of cleanup.

Just a shot in the dark but have you ever considered trying poppers (alkyl nitrates)?

They may be beneficial, as one of the effects is relaxing involuntary smooth muscles throughout the body. They've been used to treat angina symptoms since the late 19th century, and for a brief period in the 60s were approved by the FDA for over the counter sales due to a very long safety record - until homosexual men began using them recreationally for sex, at which point they were restricted as prescription-only again.

Today you can purchase them on the gray market (they're usually labeled as leather/VHS tape cleaners or room "odorizers") either online or many adult bookstores carry them.

My thyroid medication hasn’t affected anything either. Do I just need to wait longer for my body to sort itself out, or could there be something else going on?.

How long have you been on it? My wife is hypothyroid, was diagnosed around the time she graduated from high school, was on medication through her junior year of college, then got booted off of her parents' insurance at 22 in 2007 and couldn't afford doctor's visits/lab work out of pocket and she was effectively blacklisted by all insurers for having a pre-existing condition (income was too high to qualify for medicaid and literally no one would write her a policy unless she was "cured" of the thyroid condition, which AFAIK is impossible) until the ACA went into effect in 2011.

Thyroid medication takes a long time to correct the deficiency, my wife said she didn't feel fully "normal" again until several months after resuming taking the meds daily and that will vary depending on how long it takes for them to nail down your dosage - typically at first they make an educated guess based on your bloodwork, you take the prescription for a month, they run more bloodwork and see how your body reacted which may require adjusting the dosage followed by more bloodwork, etc. She said at first it will feel like you're just taking placebo pills, but then after a month or two you'll notice you aren't feeling so lovely all the time, then once they get your dosage nailed down the effects will be more pronounced.

I know buttstuff is always the answer, but what about when it isn't working? Is it more one her (and her butt) or me (and my dick)?

I know that she really, really likes it when it works out, but, of the couple of times we've attempted it, the success rate is below .500. For myself, I know I've had issues keeping it up through the prep work and allowing her to take the lead. Even when I am able to stay at attention, what gets her off does nothing for me (besides, you know, the enjoyment of getting her off), and what does get me to finish, isn't her cup of tea.

Lastly, I should say that I've really enjoyed everything we've been doing; it's just this one thing.

As a recent convert to buttstuff and as a guy who also has issues keeping it up during prep, set up your towels or whatever you're using to keep the bed clean before starting, and start your foreplay by getting her ready. My wife bought a silicone ice cube tray that makes long, narrow ice cubes that are intended to be dropped into a water bottle with a thin neck (like this) and made coconut oil "pellets" that we insert at the very beginning. This way you don't have to worry about stopping and re-applying lube as much during. Depending on your size you may want to look into getting her a plug to wear during everything leading up to anal so she's already warmed up. And if you can't last long enough to get her off use a dildo or other toy on her to completion after you're done.

Are you new to giving oral, or back to doing so after a while off? Could just be you need to build up stamina through repetition.

Also ask your partner for feedback on what you're doing. You may be over-exerting yourself early on which both exhausts you and extends the session.
