Quick Assology Guide
2023.06.10 23:47 sunflower_beast Quick Assology Guide
Take heart, anon. You too can achieve ass enlightenment by patiently studying the ways of ass.Here are 10 things I love about butts that you should consider on your quest for enlightenment:
1) Hips contribute to overall ass shape and imply fertility in females. Generally, hips together with ass help frame a cunt.
2) All butts have fatness in addition to muscle. Firmness, thickness and shape affect the fat distribution to achieve aesthetically pleasant definition and curvature of varying kinds. Even small, bonier butts can score high on shape.You just need to find ass that's right for you.
3) Thighs taper down from butts and can greatly complement an ass. So can the shape of calves and legs overall.
4) Body language - flattering poses like arched backs and doggystyle, presenting, etc all work with her facial expression and voice to convey personality and desire. Raised tails add to this.
5) Feelings expressed by a woman about her butt. Enjoyment and/or pride in her body can be adorable and fun to encourage.
6) Outlet for affection - pillow, hand rest, place to safely set a book, padding for spooning. That ass is her ass, and to love her ass is to love her.
7) Foreplay/kink - kissing, licking, touching, cupping, massaging, clapping, spanking, facesitting, 69ing, smelling, breathing in their musk.
8) Anus appreciation. Butts and anuses by extension can conventionally be considered dirty by prudes, and women can be insecure about having your attention there.But you can show appreciation for a clean/healthy butt by eating it out.A nice, clean, plush anus implies the rest of her is clean and healthy; and eating her asshole tells her you're willing to lick every inch of her body.Plus you can shift from eating out her cunt to eating her ass.
9) Volume, presence: An ass can convey a sense of being. Occupying a space. Noticeable, touchable, a weight and warmth all its own that you can feel when it rests or sits on you.
10) The primal appeal of approaching a female from behind as she lets you at her, affirming a deeply intimate level of trust. Butts are love.

FYI, this is a story COLLECTION. Lots of standalones technically. So, you can basically start to read at any chapter, no pre-read of the other chapters needed technically (other than maybe getting better descriptions of characters than: Adam Vir=human, Krill=antlike alien, Sunny=tall alien, Conn=telepathic alien). The numbers are (mostly) only for organization of posts and continuity.

Here is the link to the master-post.
He was so hungry, lying on the floor of the cage, his hand dangling through the bars, he listened as his stomach left off a round of mournful gurgling.
The mournful gurgle turned into a low grumble and then a distinctive angry howl. His mouth was dry, and he did his best to wet his lips with his tongue.
He could only imagine what the others had been feeling when he first arrived.
No one had been feeding them, and here he was, lying around in a pathetic heap, though he was still watered and fed to some degree. Arguably the amount should have been sustainable if he hadn't been sharing with the other prisoners. He knew it would only cause more problems for all of them in the long run, but he couldn't bring himself to eat while others starved.
Below them on the Prodigum's open floor, Sunny lay curled up against one wall with a line of other prisoners. He had no doubt that she could have broken out by now, but she wouldn't, not as long as he was here at least.
Adam rolled onto his back to stare up at the ceiling of the cage. A plan had been forming in his head, though whether he could get a message to Sunny was a different matter. He mostly hoped that she would be smart enough to go along with it, or smart enough to go along with it and help with her own plan, if his plan failed.
What was his plan?
Well, that was an entirely different matter…
Honestly it was a pretty stupid plan, designed based on complete conjecture and hope on his part.
Not only that but it pretty much required that Sunny had the ability to read minds, which in itself was stupid, considering their only mind reader was most likely a couple million light years away.
He sighed.
"Ready to start again, commander?”
He closed his eyes against the voice and tried not to groan. He did not want to keep going with this, but he knew he had to.
He rolled onto his knees and looked over at the other cages, where the voice coach and the drummer were watching him. The two of them had been there longer than him and were much closer to the verge of death, though since his arrival they were at least getting something small to eat and drink.
"I'm ready."
His voice was hoarse, and He was forced to clear it.
At least his throat didn't hurt today, a fact that he owed all to the voice coach.
"Remember keep your posture straight, but not strained, breath all the way down and into the belly, don't rely on the chest. The posture of the mouth is the most important aspect of a good singing voice."
He leaned his head against the bars with a sigh.
This was not something he ever thought he would need to learn how to do, especially not in order to save his own life.
There were plenty of other things he had imagined needing to learn. On the floor below them, he watched as Sunny watched him, her sharp gold eyes curious as she watched the two of them working.
She would have no idea what his plan was, and he couldn't tell her. It was known that there were members of the serving staff who were loyal to the Prodigum, whether it be out of fear, Stockholm syndrome, or loyalty.
He idly wondered what the others were thinking.
He wondered what Sunny was thinking.
He wondered if tonight would be his last night alive.
If he would die he would make at least sure that it would be to save Sunny.
[…]
The clients began filtering into the room.
Slaves were brought forward for auction, most of them rather worthless, burned out from ears and years of use, but occasionally he would throw in a piece from his own stock knowing that the perceived value of one slave would drive up the price of another.
Lights began to flash and pulse around them at his behest.
He liked the flashing lights, they tended to confuse some of the other species, making them dumber and more likely to buy irrational purchases.
It was the same with the music, though speaking of which… where was his music?
In anger, he turned in his place, shuffling his great bulk over the floor with great halting movements of his arms and the shuffling of his back legs.
The little tentacles below his chin waved in the air, tasting it. He could taste the human, so it's not like the creature was out of his sight.
Ah there it was, in its cage as usual.
It was standing defiantly looking down at him. The ugly little creature glowered at him, its tight skin stretched over bone and lumpy muscle skeletal and strange with its flexible rubbery body.
He hated humans, though they were at least good for one thing.
…
Singing.
He wasn't entirely sure how they did, but he was more than jealous.
He really wished Prodigum could sing…
Though he was already working in one of the backrooms on a little project to help with that hinderance…
Of course, he didn't know this, but the Prodigum were more readily affected by human species than a lot of the others.
Where it targeted the Vrul's sense of pattern recognition and overloaded their brain, it directly impacted the emotional cortex of the Prodigum.
Singing to him was an addiction.
One that he had not yet admitted to himself or anyone else.
The human still stared at him its slimy white and green eye, blinking once or twice. He shivered in disgust, but slowly turned to look at the blue Drev. She would fetch a nice price if he were ever to sell her, and he hoped the human understood his intentions.
They were at least smart enough for that on most occasions.
He saw the human shoulders sink just a bit.
Then without further urging, it began to sing.
The Prodigum leaned back slightly, as the sound washed over him bringing with it a wave of melancholy and sadness.
It felt so good,
The fold of his face trembled with delight.
All around him the other clients stopped to look up at the human.
Was it just them or had its voice gotten better, more hypnotic?
[…]
Behind the Prodigums back Sunny flexed her hands.
She was ready for whatever Adam was planning, for she knew based on the looks and small gestures he had been giving her over the past few days that he was planning something.
However, the night went on, and although Adam's singing voice had markedly improved, she sensed nothing changing.
She shifted nervously in her cage, looking over to where the Prodigum sat on his back haunches, his large arms resting beside him, a glassy expression on his face, or at least as glassy as an expression could get when it looked like a pile of melted dough.
…
That was strange…
She glanced around at the others, aliens in various stages of debauchery, sort of lethargic and wobbly.
She glanced up at Adam…
He looked down at her, letting the last note of the song he was using fade off.
She nervously shifted as the aliens began to shift and move.
Then the quiet human in the far cage began tapping his hand against the bars. Adam cleared his throat. The female human began to hum softly.
How interesting…
The effect was almost immediate.
Adam took one deep breath and made eye contact with Sunny.
And then he opened up his voice, cutting through the fading clamor like a blade made of diamond–rising from the upper chest and throat in a way she didn't think him capable, quivering at the top as the others accompanied him.
His voice was full, but filled with pain as he poured in emotion like a damn, breaking to spill water into a canyon. The drummer beat out a soft rhythm behind him.
As he continued to sing the voice was so sad, so pained, that it almost made Sunny want to cry.
He gripped the bars with white knuckled hands, his face contorting with the words not bothering to mask whatever emotion he had dredged up to make a sound like that.
Beautiful and sad.
He dropped low into his chest his voice ringing powerfully over the walls before dropping into softness.
He leaned his head against the bars.
She had a tough time looking away.
What did someone have to be thinking about to make a sound like that?
The beat stopped behind him, leaving just his clear voice ringing out through the room.
She was forced to shake herself from her reverie.
When that song ended, the next one began his voice –quiet– filling the room as she slowly stepped back out of line of sight from the others.
No one was paying attention to her.
If she could just make it to the door, then maybe she would be able to find a way to get a signal out to the others.
Her movement almost notified someone, but at that moment Adam dropped his voice low, adding such a powerful hint of sadness in it that it nearly broke turning his voice to a soft rasp.
The creature could barely keep its feet.
Off to her side the Prodigum had practically melted onto the floor.
She had almost reached the door, and he brought his voice higher, the rasp still in it. It took everything she had to keep moving towards the door, and not to turn around, to be captured in the pain and sadness that he used to glue the others to their places.
Again, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of memories you had to dredge up to sing like that.
It was almost painful.
She had made it to the door.
She reached out to open it as the door opened and light spilled inward, he again reached upwards with his voice, cracking the barrier between him and the others. His voice began to splinter, but not unintentionally, actually quite on purpose, fracturing like ice.
She ran out into the hall.
She froze in place for a second, running face-first into another Prodigum.
It looked as if it was about to attack her, but when the voice washed over it, there was nothing it could do but follow the sound.
As the voice filtered out into the hallway, the same effect remained true. Others began following the sound in a dazed trance barely acknowledging her as they searched for the sad voice, so clear and powerful.
[…]
He leaned into it, eyes closed, trying to dredge up the emotion he needed. He needed to give Sunny time to work. He needed to keep their attention. But the more he thought about keeping his voice in place, the harder it was to hold.
So, he tried to ignore the need, instead allowing the emotion to roll into his body strong enough to make his face tingle and shivers to run down his face.
Tears sprung to his eyes, and he tried to hold that feeling allowing his voice to crack at just the right moments occasionally looking down at a slowly growing crowd absolutely entranced.
Behind him, the others were trying hard to keep up.
The door had opened long ago, but there were still forms trickling in.
How long would he have to hold this before someone noticed that Sunny was missing?
He tried tor as long as he could, he really did, but carrying that amount of emotion was difficult, and eventually it faded away. He still kept their rapt attention with his voice, but they were moving again, looking around at each other with confused expressions as if they were trying to figure out what had happened. The Prodigum lay almost passed out on the floor looking on in a strange mixture of confusion and contentment.
Like he was high as hell.
He had no idea how Sunny was going to do this worried that she had gone to her death.
Someone would notice her eventually, wouldn't they?
He wasn't sure how long he was going, hours or not, but eventually he lost the strength of his voice and the surrounding room went back to its normal routine using him as a simple background.
He had done all he could, now it was time to find out if Sunny had made it or not.*
[…]
”If it would be up to me, that bastard would be so fucking dead, like series bullshit, fucking laws! Why can’t we just off this motherfucking motherfucker!?”
The door hissed open, and the Prodigum turned his groggy head towards the light spilling across the floor.
He was surprised at that moment as a small shape scuttled into the room.
”And all this bullshit about I how I should stay logical, I don’t FUCKING care! I’m sick of this bullshit! The marines get to kill people all the time, but if I ask if I could bathe a goddamn Prodigum in acid and they say “nooo you can’t to that its unethical”… Fuck off!”
A Vrul?
But those didn't come here?
Number one they couldn't stand music, and number two, they were never involved in the slave market.
”Fuck off goddamn ethical laws, its not like they uphold them!”
The strange sight pulled him out of his trance enough to get up and scoot in that direction, to find out more about this uninvited guest.
It was a small creature, a brownish grey in color with large orange prismatic eyes.
He wondered how it was still walking, but then noticed the large noise-canceling headphones it wore.
”Really I am so fucking done! Fine have it as you want I will NOT kill him… there are other ways to give him what he deserves…”
It scuttled closer to him, pausing at his feet before looking up.
”Hey asshole!? Yes I am talking to you!”
That was strange, it didn't seem scared?
But the Vrul were always scared!?
"Are you the proprietor of this fine establishment?"
The Prodigum was totally baffled about what was going on and just answered truthfully.
"I am."
"Jolly good."
The creature said, reaching out with a hand and gently tossing something in his direction.
The Prodigum flinched for a moment as the tiny devices stuck to his arms legs and face.
"What is that?"
”What you deserve bitch!”
The little creature raised a hand and pressed something with a click.
His world erupted in pain, as lightning and electricity surged through him.
And then the world turned black.
[…]
Dr. Krill stood over him, hand still, still every now and then pressing the button as humans and Drev erupted into the room from all angles.
”I hate the fact that because of YOU Adam got captured AGAIN!”
He pressed the button again.
**”I hate the fact that because of you I had to captain a FUCKING human ship for two weeks, you hear me!? TWO WEEKS!!!”
Another button press, followed by more painful twitching from the Prodigum.
”But do you want to know what I hate most of all?”
He leaned down to the twitching Prodigum, holding down on the button.
"I…”
”HATE…”
”Fieldwork!"
He looked up from where he stood,
"You are ALL under arrest."
Another Prodigum hissed:
”You can’t just do that!”
”Oh, what I can’t do is surgically cut you a thousand times and then bathe you in salt, because SOMEONE apparently decided the Geneva convention should also apply to scumbags like you. But what I can do is arrest you fuckers! Just watch me!”
”Wait what was that first part?”
"Thank your gods I didn't have final jurisdiction."

Intro post by me
OC-whole collection
Patreon of the author
Thanks for reading! As you saw in the title, this is a cross posted story written by starrfallknightrise and I'll just upload some of it here for you guys, if you are interested and want to read ahead, the original story-collection can be found on tumblr or wattpad to read for free. (link above this text under "OC:..." ) It is the Empyrean Iris story collection by starfallknightrise. Also, if you want to know more about the story collection i made an intro post about it, so feel free to check that out to see what other great characters to look forward to! (Link also above this text). I have no affiliations to the author; just thought I’d share some of the great stories you might enjoy a lot!
Obviously, I have Charlie’s permission to post this and for the people already knowing the stories, or starting to read them: If you follow the link and check out the story you will see some differences. I made some small (non-artistic) changes, mainly correcting writing mistakes, pronoun correction and some small additional info here and there of things which were not thought of/forgotten or even were added/changed in later stories (like the “USS->UNSC” prefix of Stabby, Chalar=/->Sunny etc). As well as some "biggemajor" changes in descriptions and info’s for the same stringency/continuity reason. That can be explained by the story collection being, well a story collection at the start with many standalone-stories just starring the same people, but later on it gets more to a stringent storyline with backstories and throwbacks. (For example Adam Vir has some HEAVY scars over his body, following his bones, which were not really talked about up till half the collection, where it says it covers his whole body and you find out via backflash that he had them the whole time and how he got them, they just weren't mentioned before. However, I would think a doctor would at least see these scars before that, especially since he gets analyzed, treated and goes shirtless/in T-shirts in some stories). So TLDR: Writing and some descriptions are slightly changed, with full OK from the author, since he himself did not bother to correct these things before.

He had no idea how Sunny was going to do this worried that she had gone to her death.
Someone would notice her eventually, wouldn't they?
He wasn't sure how long he was going, hours or not, but eventually he lost the strength of his voice and the surrounding room went back to its normal routine using him as a simple background.
He had done all he could, now it was time to find out if Sunny had made it or not.*
”If it would be up to me, that bastard would be so fucking dead, like series bullshit, fucking laws! Why can’t we just off this motherfucking motherfucker!?”
The door hissed open, and the Prodigum turned his groggy head towards the light spilling across the floor.
He was surprised at that moment as a small shape scuttled into the room.
”And all this bullshit about I how I should stay logical, I don’t FUCKING care! I’m sick of this bullshit! The marines get to kill people all the time, but if I ask if I could bathe a goddamn Prodigum in acid and they say “nooo you can’t to that its unethical”… Fuck off!”
A Vrul?
But those didn't come here?
Number one they couldn't stand music, and number two, they were never involved in the slave market.
”Fuck off goddamn ethical laws, its not like they uphold them!”
The strange sight pulled him out of his trance enough to get up and scoot in that direction, to find out more about this uninvited guest.
It was a small creature, a brownish grey in color with large orange prismatic eyes.
He wondered how it was still walking, but then noticed the large noise-canceling headphones it wore.
”Really I am so fucking done! Fine have it as you want I will NOT kill him… there are other ways to give him what he deserves…”
It scuttled closer to him, pausing at his feet before looking up.
”Hey asshole!? Yes I am talking to you!”
That was strange, it didn't seem scared?
But the Vrul were always scared!?
"Are you the proprietor of this fine establishment?"
The Prodigum was totally baffled about what was going on and just answered truthfully.
"I am."
"Jolly good."
The creature said, reaching out with a hand and gently tossing something in his direction.
The Prodigum flinched for a moment as the tiny devices stuck to his arms legs and face.
"What is that?"
”What you deserve bitch!”
The little creature raised a hand and pressed something with a click.
His world erupted in pain, as lightning and electricity surged through him.
And then the world turned black.
Dr. Krill stood over him, hand still, still every now and then pressing the button as humans and Drev erupted into the room from all angles.
”I hate the fact that because of YOU Adam got captured AGAIN!”
He pressed the button again.
**”I hate the fact that because of you I had to captain a FUCKING human ship for two weeks, you hear me!? TWO WEEKS!!!”
Another button press, followed by more painful twitching from the Prodigum.
”But do you want to know what I hate most of all?”
He leaned down to the twitching Prodigum, holding down on the button.
"I…”
”HATE…”
”Fieldwork!"
He looked up from where he stood,
"You are ALL under arrest."
Another Prodigum hissed:
”You can’t just do that!”
”Oh, what I can’t do is surgically cut you a thousand times and then bathe you in salt, because SOMEONE apparently decided the Geneva convention should also apply to scumbags like you. But what I can do is arrest you fuckers! Just watch me!”
”Wait what was that first part?”
"Thank your gods I didn't have final jurisdiction."

Intro post by me
OC-whole collection
Patreon of the author
Obviously, I have Charlie’s permission to post this and for the people already knowing the stories, or starting to read them: If you follow the link and check out the story you will see some differences. I made some small (non-artistic) changes, mainly correcting writing mistakes, pronoun correction and some small additional info here and there of things which were not thought of/forgotten or even were added/changed in later stories (like the “USS->UNSC” prefix of Stabby, Chalar=/->Sunny etc). As well as some "biggemajor" changes in descriptions and info’s for the same stringency/continuity reason. That can be explained by the story collection being, well a story collection at the start with many standalone-stories just starring the same people, but later on it gets more to a stringent storyline with backstories and throwbacks. (For example Adam Vir has some HEAVY scars over his body, following his bones, which were not really talked about up till half the collection, where it says it covers his whole body and you find out via backflash that he had them the whole time and how he got them, they just weren't mentioned before. However, I would think a doctor would at least see these scars before that, especially since he gets analyzed, treated and goes shirtless/in T-shirts in some stories). So TLDR: Writing and some descriptions are slightly changed, with full OK from the author, since he himself did not bother to correct these things before.

 | submitted by khoafraelich789 to CarInformationNews [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/rttiug2vbd3b1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=61b43837d643830c0e30ee28946caf204892517a Make: MG Model: GT Sport TST Engine: 1.5-liter DOHC 16-valve Inline-4 Turbo Intercooler Max Power: 161 PS @ 5600 rpm Max Torque: 250 Nm @ 1750 - 4000 rpm Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch transmission Price as Tested: ₱PHP 1,193,888 For a brand known mainly for its sports cars from the 60s to the 90s, it was unusual to see MG launch one crossover SUV after another in the local market. They teased us a little bit with the MG6 liftback (launched in 2019), but thankfully, they are upping the marque’s sportiness with the introduction of the second-generation MG GT sports sedan. Its nose has a proper scowl, which makes it look like it is impatiently waiting for the light to turn green and dash away. It was thoughtful of MG to put holes for the vehicle plate screws below the 3D digital flaming grille (so onlookers can see its full form), and the extra black molding that extends into these large air vents is a nice touch that gives it a one-of-a-kind front fascia. The side showcases its very nice 17-inch two-tone Tomahawk alloy wheels, a couple of sharp character lines that highlight the shapely fenders, and a chrome trim that traces the daylight opening and emphasizes the slope that gives it a fastback form. LED bulbs are standard on the intelligent headlights and 3D racetrack taillights. It also has a couple of elements that reduce drag and increase aerodynamic efficiency, a front (carbon fiber-style) and rear (ducktail) spoiler. It looks every bit the part of a sports sedan from the front, but I have a few suggestions. A lower stance would be better, which means reduced ground clearance. On top of that, a sleeker roof would make it look sexier and give it better stability, and a larger rear glass should elicit an illusion of a wider body (when viewed from the rear). Lastly, drop the faux twin exhaust because it looks pretty obvious. MG brags that it has a fighter jet-inspired cockpit. I have never been in a fighter jet as the closest I have been was while watching ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ so I’ll take their word for it. The dashboard is sleek, with switches that are just the right size to match the cockpit design. The plastic surface could be better, but the diamond-design accent that runs along the middle gives it a certain level of sophistication. The matching slim infotainment system is laid out horizontally and sits on top of a silver ledge with toggles to switch between the different menus of the 10-inch floating monitor. Designers gave the layout some thought to ensure every detail matches the image they have of the GT. I single out the instrument cluster because of its different look and feel. I get a Chevy (think Spark) or a moto vibe from it, even if it sports a 12.3-inch virtual display with a digital speedometer and tachometer. The unique thing about it is the red linear gauges on either side that goes up and down depending on the speed and RPM. Each front seat has bolsters for a snug fit, which is why it appears small at first. It cradles the torso very well, which helps keep the body in place during aggressive driving, but I wish the seat bottoms were just a bit longer for more thigh support. It has leather upholstery, red stitching, and quilting on the backrest. There are two USB ports in front, one for charging and the other for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It also has Bluetooth audio streaming. The third USB port is at the back, beside the rear air vents. The flat-bottom multi-function leather steering wheel feels great. It is just the right size and enhances the vehicle’s sporty personality. It has tilt adjustment but does not have telescopic features. Behind it are the paddle shifters and three stalks that include cruise controls. I like its current interior equipment and the power sunroof is not a regular sight in the segment; that gives it a leg up over the competition. More premium cabin materials would be better, and throw in more padded surfaces too. The six-speaker system sounds good, but maybe too good in some parts because I can feel the vibration of the panels from the door speaker when I turn up the volume. What is impressive about this vehicle is its small displacement 1.5-liter turbocharged gas engine that makes 161 PS and 250 Nm of torque. Drive goes to the wheels via a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox. Throttle response is drive mode dependent. Normal is the default mode, and it feels pretty mild-mannered. The vehicle’s weight is more palpable as it rises steadily to the desired speed. Switching modes was a little tricky as there was a button on the center stack. The paddle shifter also did not have an effect. Only when I toggled the gear shifter back did it shift to Sport, and vice versa. Acceleration is slightly more abrupt, but I love the sound it makes. Instead of the typical rumble, which you will not get anyway because it only has four cylinders, there is a thrilling throttling-up sound that rises in the cabin the faster I went. Handling is not too light, but despite its good power-to-weight ratio, it is not as agile. That is partly due to soft suspension and high ground clearance. Its height raises the center of gravity which -together with the ride height- is why there is a significant amount of body roll when cornering. If you want to sort that out, get a new set of coilover suspensions or a lowering kit (if there are any available). But there is a benefit to keeping it suspension setup stock. This soft type has more comfort versus rigid setups that offer sporty handling. It keeps road harshness levels down, and unless you plan to drive it aggressively, there is no need to modify it. It has a forward collision warning and lane departure warning, but my favorite is the 360-degree vehicle view camera. It shows the vehicle's position relative to external obstacles, while the forward camera lets me park face-front as close to the wall as possible. If you plan to take it for a weekend trip, the trunk space is 40 inches long and 53 inches wide. It looks big enough to store a couple of check-in luggage and several overnight bags. At PHP 1,193,888, the 2023 MG GT Sport TST certainly has qualities befitting a compact sports sedan. It may not corner like the Civic RS but its higher torque lets it take off with a bit more bravado. This second-generation model is already on the right track with its powertrain. A few more updates in the MG GT and it can give the segment a run for its money. Source: autoindustriya |

2023.06.10 23:21 throwawayaccformoi How do I address my boyfriend touching me at night?
Throw away to keep my identity anonymous. TW for discussion of sexual abuse.
My (23f) boyfriend (23m) have been together for 6 years. Our sex life is non-existent, mostly on my part. I have a chronic illness which has tanked my libido, but on top of that, my boyfriend has just not been helpful in giving me a safe environment to be sexual with him.
You see, I am a csa survivor. For a large portion of my childhood, I was molested and raped by someone who lived in the house with me. It would happen in the middle of the night, when everyone (including me) was asleep. When my parents found out, they removed me from the person, but they did not help me recover from the trauma. My mother continued the sexual abuse. I have been to therapy, and am working on the trauma.
However, it’s led to triggers while being intimate, and I do suffer from ptsd.
My partner knows this and has been graceful about it throughout our relationship. He was always accommodating and our sex life ebbed and flowed. When it was lacking, he was content taking care of himself.
Recently, that’s not been the case.
In the last nine months, he is becoming more intrusive. He constantly makes sexual jokes aimed at me, which I’ve told him makes me uncomfortable. He begs to have sex, and when I say no I’m in the mood, he will beg to pleasure himself in front of me. Again, this is extremely triggering for me.
I’ve expressed my discomfort, and explained that I want to be more intimate, I just need him to slow down around me. I have responsive desire and need more time to develop my arousal. Him begging me or making unwanted advances shuts me down.
Well, last night, I woke up to him touching me.
He does this every so often. He will “help himself” to my body and repeatedly say my name over and over and over again until I wake up- while his touches get more intrusive. He doesn’t stop until I wake up, he further progresses. My assumption is that he took “responsive desire” as “touch me until I say no, and then we know it’s a no.” I have told him not to touch me without asking.
Last night, he rubbed my crotch so hard, there’s a raw spot on my vulva that’s so painful. I woke up, and pushed him off, and asked what the fuck was wrong with him. I only know Hed been touching me for a while before I woke up because of the raw skin and wet spots on my shirt over my breasts.
Today, he’s acting like nothing happened.
I don’t know how to address this.
Our relationship is perfectly fine and normal outside of this. Leaving is not really my option number one. Like I said, the 98% of the relationship is great.
What do I do? How do I get it across that he’s violating me? I feel lost.

2023.06.10 23:16 bnr32jason Ayaneo 2 - A Six Month Review and Commentary - Far Too Late, But Oh Well
 | submitted by bnr32jason to ayaneo [link] [comments] FFVII Intergrade Runs Smooth 30FPS at 1080p Low at 16 watts Going to try to keep this short, but share some of my thoughts, some go against the popular commentary in this sub, and some go right along with everyone else. There will be some minor comparisons to my Steam Deck, but not really that much. This is a small sub, I'm not going to spend an hour writing up a giant review for 30 people to read and half of them to downvote because I say things they don't like. - Who am I / Background - Just a simple gamer, console, PC, handheld, arcade, mobile, gacha, retro, modern, streaming, Xbox, PS, Sega, etc. Basically all of it, I just like playing games. I'm not a PCMR guy, but I do have a pretty good PC (3960x, 3080, etc). I don't NEED to max out performance, I'm fine with 30FPS on a lot of games (like JRPG's as you can see in the image). I still play a lot on my Switch and Vita. Had my Steam Deck since March 2022. Busy dad who plays mostly handheld now. - Initial Experience - I bought from IndieGoGo, it's a 1TB B.Duck model, put my "contribution" in November 4th and had it in my hands by January 12th. Ordered a spare battery at the same time, they put it in the box along with it, no extra shipping charge, battery was like $25. Just bought it because I plan on using this for a long time. AyaSpace was meh, but it worked for me, I'm an IT professional by trade, but I'm not going to mess with much. Games launch fine, easy to adjust TDP, that's all I need. I did eventually install Handheld Control Panel, and I like it a lot more. After adjusting the fan curve I saw recommended by a YouTuber, it's nice and quiet. I play mostly at 20 watts or below, and almost exclusively handheld on the bus/train commute to/from work every day. Overall a pretty positive experience with a small learning curve. Positives
Neutrals
Negatives
Commentary (Random thoughts basically)
I could go on more, but I don't think it's worth it. 8.5/10 - not perfect, but it doesn't have to be. Would have loved OLED or that upcoming Mini-LED. Performance meets my needs, screen is beautiful, comfortable to hold for an hour or more, controls are excellent. |
2023.06.10 23:13 Raidero My experience with Sterling by Music Man brand
tl;dr I bought Sterling Ray35 bass and I am dissapointed with quality control compared to my other less expensive basses. What are your experiences with this brand? Should I try getting replacement and hope for better quality?
Long version: I bought my first bass from my friend for 100$ (I believe it originally was bought for around 200$), 4 string, PJ pickups, "Santander" brand (I have no idea what model it is). Nothing very special. Setup needed to be done, but besides that everything looked fine for a newbie. I still have this bass and I can see now that there is maybe a little too much space between neck and body where it connects, and bridge is not alligned perfectly with neck (G string is closer to edge of neck than E string).
About 6 years passed, I finished university, and I started working in my profession and had some money to try something new. I went to music store, played some basses I found on internet , didn't really like any of them, and then music store employee recommended me to try Yamaha BB434 (4 string, PJ pickups). I fell in love with it at first sight. It felt great to play, and looked very sexy. I bought it for 500$, and I have been very happy with it for last 6 years.
Recently I decided that I would like to buy new bass, but this time with humbucker(s), five string, and active electronics. I did some research on internet, found 3 basses that I wanted to try (Yamaha TRBX 605, Fender Meteora bass (4 string, but it does look very sexy, isn't it?), and Sterling Ray35 H VSB). I didn't like meteora at all. Yamaha was ok, but I expected it to be better I fell in love (again) with Sterling sound
Then I started wondering if maybe I should go with used Musicman Stringray 5 H. I found offer with perfect color but not so perfect price. New sterling bass was a little bit more than half the price, and was just as sexy as used musicman. I found great comparison between sound of sterling and musicman and I couldn't hear any difference, so it was logical for me to go with Sterling. The only argument for buying musicman was that I could resell it in future for probably similar price, but I don't plan to sell any of my basses, I become attached to them very quickly.
So I bought Sterling RAY35-PSK-R2 for 1400$. It arrived yesterday. I was working home office, but I couldn't wait to open it so I did, and the bass looked gorgeous, much better than on photos. But then I started to notice some little "issues".
- Neck joint is not looking like it should look. Looking from behind, neck part that should be fully covered by body (the part where the screws are) is not covered fully. It is because body has bad angle where the joint is (it should be 90 degree angle, and it is maybe 91, 92). - It looks like frets have been installed without much care, on right side of neck fret cracks(?) look bad. On left side it looks perfect, no issues there.
I checked if my other basses had some similar issues, but on my Santander those cracks look fine, and on Yamaha they look perfect.
I made a complaint with pictures attached to the music store I bought it in, I wait for their response. I would like to get replacement, but I am affraid that Sterling quality control is just not on point.
What do you guys think? I feel like bass for that price shouldn't have issues like that, but maybe I was just very lucky with my 2 previous basses.

📷OncoJock :Au contraire, when the MIA was awarded on 3/20/23, the train left the station. That predestined MAA approval , which should arrive about 8/1/23. Everybody knew that the MAA award would precipitate 2 partnerships , and bids for NWBO by 5 of the biggest CI players. Net, net, NWBO change of control 30 days after the MAA award. But the Bosch MOA Bomb on 6/3/23 increases the bids to 10 within 30 days of the MAA award.Why? Because the big boys know the MOA Bosch described will revolutionize medicine.

ONCO:I know who you are! I know you are a Harvard grad from way back AND I know you are bought and paid for, Kinda like a "Soiled Dove" !! For the benefit of the suffering cancer patients who desperately need the DCVax-L Cell Based Platform Technology, please take your rantings to "Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park London, UK, crawl up on your soap box and see how long you last!!! If the mob doesn't tear you apart, it's only because you managed to begin your rant at a time allocated for the "lunatic fringe" !!!!
Do yourself a favor and put your debate textbook back in the box and take it back to the bookstore and when they ask you why you are returning the book, tell them that you are too f......ng stupid to own a book"!!!
Cheers,

📷OncoJock :Au contraire, when the MIA was awarded on 3/20/23, the train left the station. That predestined MAA approval , which should arrive about 8/1/23. Everybody knew that the MAA award would precipitate 2 partnerships , and bids for NWBO by 5 of the biggest CI players. Net, net, NWBO change of control 30 days after the MAA award. But the Bosch MOA Bomb on 6/3/23 increases the bids to 10 within 30 days of the MAA award.Why? Because the big boys know the MOA Bosch described will revolutionize medicine.

2023.06.10 22:38 bardiddly New kitten positive for clostridium perfringens. How contagious to other cat?
Hi all. We recently got a kitten from a breeder, and it is positive for clostridium perfringens. They fed it raw food, so I'm assuming that's what it is from. We need to get him to a vet, but they're all closed. We can't get medicine for a few days likely.
I'm wondering how contagious this is for other cats? Will put adult cat catch it easily?
Thank you,

2023.06.10 22:25 BloodRedBouquet Things my very PIMI mother forbid
Sometimes I think about my childhood and teenage years with my very PIMI mother – even some sisters and brothers inside the cong called her extreme. Things I wasn't allowed to do:
submitted by BloodRedBouquet to exjw [link] [comments]
- listen to ANY "wordly" music, not even soft music genres, nothing.
- go to the movies with JW friends (she even called out the mother of a friend because she let her daughter watch a Disney movie as a teenager)
- have friends in the cong because she talked badly about everyone, even pioneer sisters (their faith being not enough and Jehovah is our only true friend)
- wear rings (only for married people, she said, when I was wearing a simple, obviously not wedding-ringy ring)
- wear make-up to cover up my puberty acne
- talk to a brother who went to university, she was so scared I would go too
- tell my baby brother I didn't want him to touch my hair because, and this is effing crazy, the bible tells women to let their husbands have power over their body???
- wear bigger bras than her when I needed them (this might not be an only JW related problem though 🤣, but seemingly big breasts aren't modest as a JW woman)
- be in a cong meeting without raising my hand and giving comments at least 4-5 times, she would always hit me with her elbow to tell me to raise my hand
- stand too close in front of her because the bible says I should only be physically close to my future husband
- have a black notebook for conventions because it causes depression (remember the old JW bible being black...? She might be right with this)
2023.06.10 22:22 BeezCee Worried about Sage.
I know that every child grows & develops differently and at their own pace. But Fern & Sage are siblings & do share DNA. I recently went back to look at Fern when he was Sage’s age and the difference is shocking. And I don’t think it is just due to babies developing differently and on their own timeline. Fern was huge & was further along developmentally. He could sit up, he could move around, he could stand up to things. She was all about her chubby exclusively breast fed baby. I feel like Sage is super scrawny and delayed. She was a much better, more attentive mom to Fern. Honestly since Sage was born she has just been moving from one manic fixation to another. At his expense. I had a long, thin baby that walked late but Sage is different. I worry about his lack of muscle tone, lack of body fat, he almost seems failure to thrive. I honestly don’t think he is getting the calories or nutrients he needs. Not to mention mental stimulation & attention. I would be surprised if he doesn’t have a flat spot on the back of his head from being ditched while she manically fixates on her various distractions. These kids are never catch up from their deficits if something doesn’t change. Every day that goes by they fall farther & farther behind. Plus you know if they were capable of doing more things she’d be showing it off. She’s not. Because they can’t. (I know, I know, every baby is different. Blah, blah, blah. But there are some serious red flags)

2023.06.10 22:19 Lucky_Mud_3242 Price/quality
I'm on TRT and I ordered BPC-157 from the clinic that I get the "T" from. The "T" price is excellent but I'm surprised at the prices mentioned on here. I used my annual 25% off birthday coupon to get 30 day supply @ $180. Next month I think will be $244. Is that reasonable? One more question. I ordered capsules because I'm @ 6% body fat and my stomach is only place I can inject SUBQ. Twice a day seems like it could become an issue after a few weeks. Can anyone relate or share personal experience. (I have tendinitis and am 1 month post carpul tunnel and tennis elbow surgery)

2023.06.10 22:05 Every_Chair2468 I can’t be the only woman who hates her chest
Probably not in the way you are thinking… it’s not that they’re too small or too big or too saggy, but I hate them. I hate when people look at them. I hate that I have to wear bras or bikinis to cover them up, which somehow even makes them look more “desirable” by making cleavage. I hate that anytime I wear any shirt they show. Any time I exist, they’re there. It doesn’t matter how baggy my clothes are, which I intentionally wear. On top of that, I hate when people ask me why I wear clothes twice my size because something slimmer would be much more “flattering.” “Oh sweet girly,” I’ve been told. You just haven’t found your style yet. It probably wouldn’t make a difference if I was wearing lingerie or the baggy clothes I wear. The fact is, I am female, and I am being treated thusly.
I wear scrubs to school. They’re SCRUBS. They’re not the sexy kind. Just regular-fit large scrubs to protect myself from biohazards. I caught my professor looking at my breasts. He wasn’t looking me in the eyes when I asked him a question. I knew where his eyes drifted. We were talking about the brain and he accidentally said “breas-I mean brain” in response. To my face. He apologized and we moved on but I have this professor for another year. Now I know what he thinks of me when I’m around him. I am an object and not a student. This was months ago. I can’t say anything now… can I? It was just a mistake? He asks me why I’m so quiet in class. It would ruin my reputation and maybe his. A tenured professor - he’s gotten so many student past their board exams. Who’s this hashtag MeToo attention-seeker? She probably made it up. Gosh, cancel culture is getting so out-of-hand. She can’t prove anything anyways.
I envy men. Not that men don’t have problems too— I’m not denying that. I just wish my chest was not an object for someone else’s gaze. I sometimes think of what life would be like if I had breast cancer. Of course, I don’t want to die and I’m deeply terrified of cancer. But what they caught it early? They recommended a lumpectomy? No, just do a double mastectomy. I’d say that it would be peace of mind for me… that the breast cancer would never come back of course. But really it would free me from something else. I would be free of the prying gaze of those around me. I would be free of the sexualization of my chest and I would wear my scars proudly without a shirt or a bra or my shame. I would cry no tears for loss of them.
Maybe it’s some form of internalized misogyny or (self)victim-blaming, but I cannot fix the sexualization of the female body. I fear it will never go away. My breasts should be considered what they truly are - an organ for feeding infant and not for groping or gazing and certainly not for anyone else’s objectification of who I am. I am not a rack. I am a person, please stop. Look me in the eyes. Maybe all I can really do is for me to get this offmychest.

**reposting with a final price drop to $999. Timestamp with images and a video: https://imgur.com/a/5iPh3I9 **
Bought this from Tamarakin in Chicago a month ago. It was CLA’d by Tamarkin right before I purchased so it has no haze, no fungus, no scratches or cleaning marks, no significant dust, and no separation at all.
Cosmetically the lens has very minimal signs of wear. Some slight but normal wear on the aperture blades that has no negative impact on the function of the lens. The focus is smooth and the aperture if firm and clicky.
The hood shows wear and a slight dent but is functional and comes with the rear cap.
Will ship anywhere in the US. Feel free to PM me with any questions!

2023.06.10 21:49 safe5k Dreamt taking DMT
Originally posted on psychonaut
I’ve never smoked DMT, but it’s a possibility I’ve been considering for about a year now. I find it fascinating to ponder the nature of what “reality” truly is, and how our perception (and the limits thereof) shape what we believe to be real. I’m somewhat experienced with psychedelics, having taken LSD a handful of times (never more than a single tab, though), but nothing else.
Last night, I hit up an old plug of mine from my hometown (since nobody in my town seems to have any DMT), and he had it! So in my mind, this put actually taking the damn stuff into the realm of real possibility; I could probably pick some up next time I visited family! I ended up reading trip reports pretty late until I fell asleep around 3:30am, and reality and dream began to blend together:
I’ve driven back to my hometown, and I’ve ostensibly arrived at my plug’s apartment (which I’ve never seen or been to). I enter the apartment, and an aura of friendship and camaraderie is palpable. I haven’t/don’t communicate with this guy outside of picking up drugs, so I would have expected to feel like a fish out of water at a stranger’s home, but instead it was as if I was where I belonged. He then showed me various 510 cartridges with clear liquid, as well as a jar of freebase DMT. He showed me his personal cartridge, which was extremely low (basically an e-roach, lol), but it was still something. When I realized I had no money in my pocket, he generously offered me the remains of his cartridge. The feeling when he gave it to me was a feeling of completeness; the attainment of something seemingly unattainable. My plug gave off an energy of pure friendship and calmness, which helped my anxiety around taking flight. Not wanting to impose, though, I thanked him profusely , and I went home to hit my nearly-depleted cartridge.
I laid down in my home at my parents’ house, took just one large hit, and immediately I was soaring through a tunnel of electric, pulsing light. It was like being sucked through a wormhole of all quantum possibilities; a condensation of all reality is, was, and could be. I had an intense body load that made me feel as if I was riding on the fastest rollercoaster I would ever ride. I was quite scared at my loss of control of the situation, but an internal voice essentially told me that everything was okay, and that I could let go. When I did let go, I entered a sort of white space of nothingness. I calmed myself down by taking long, deep breaths, and eventually, the blinding white void faded back into my regular vision. I was still on the bed, heart pounding, but ultimately feeling transformed.
That’s the last I remember before waking up around noon. It felt so real yet unreal; there was absolutely the feeling of being outside oneself that I’ve come accustomed to in my LSD trips, only magnified. When I woke up, though, I was back in base reality, ego intact. I had an intense, gripping desire to go back to the DMT world, but was disappointed when I realized I didn’t actually have any. Usually, I’m glad to wake up and realize my dreams weren’t real, however, this was certainly an exception.
I talked to my plug this morning, and he’s offering freebase for $100/g, which seems to be a fair price. After this dream experience, I would love to take him up on that offer, but I feel that I may be in over my head. It’s been over a year since I’ve done LSD, so I’m considering taking 2 tabs at least once and then psilocybin for the first time at some point to better prepare myself for DMT. If DMT is a fraction of what I experienced in my dream, I think I’ve got a lot of preparation to do.
If anyone else has had a dream experience taking a psychedelic (and perhaps one you hadn’t taken in base reality already), I’d love to hear your experience! It’s fascinating what our minds can show us, and how fragile our reality is; there’s no telling what is actually out there, as we’re limited by our balance of neurotransmitters, other chemicals, and the limited/inadequate “technology” of our own senses.
Safe trips everyone!

I laid down in my home at my parents’ house, took just one large hit, and immediately I was soaring through a tunnel of electric, pulsing light. It was like being sucked through a wormhole of all quantum possibilities; a condensation of all reality is, was, and could be. I had an intense body load that made me feel as if I was riding on the fastest rollercoaster I would ever ride. I was quite scared at my loss of control of the situation, but an internal voice essentially told me that everything was okay, and that I could let go. When I did let go, I entered a sort of white space of nothingness. I calmed myself down by taking long, deep breaths, and eventually, the blinding white void faded back into my regular vision. I was still on the bed, heart pounding, but ultimately feeling transformed.
That’s the last I remember before waking up around noon. It felt so real yet unreal; there was absolutely the feeling of being outside oneself that I’ve come accustomed to in my LSD trips, only magnified. When I woke up, though, I was back in base reality, ego intact. I had an intense, gripping desire to go back to the DMT world, but was disappointed when I realized I didn’t actually have any. Usually, I’m glad to wake up and realize my dreams weren’t real, however, this was certainly an exception.
I talked to my plug this morning, and he’s offering freebase for $100/g, which seems to be a fair price. After this dream experience, I would love to take him up on that offer, but I feel that I may be in over my head. It’s been over a year since I’ve done LSD, so I’m considering taking 2 tabs at least once and then psilocybin for the first time at some point to better prepare myself for DMT. If DMT is a fraction of what I experienced in my dream, I think I’ve got a lot of preparation to do.
If anyone else has had a dream experience taking a psychedelic (and perhaps one you hadn’t taken in base reality already), I’d love to hear your experience! It’s fascinating what our minds can show us, and how fragile our reality is; there’s no telling what is actually out there, as we’re limited by our balance of neurotransmitters, other chemicals, and the limited/inadequate “technology” of our own senses.
Safe trips everyone!
