Yeah, she asked me to stop because it made her more self conscious.

Man, you guys are fucking AWFUL exploitative enterprises don’t give q shot .I from the I’m fucked because I don’t support the allegiant

Bullshit

Such as?

Of course not, but when good communication is stifled by a field of eggshells, you do what you can.

Our communication on the subject is pretty good, but that alone doesn’t solve the issue. It’s hard to see a way to open that line of communication without them being offended

The hard part is communicating my needs without trampling on their feelings, because at a certain point the onus shifts off of me and I don’t want my SO to have that pressure

Unfortunately I retired from drinking

I really appreciate your answer

But the fact that I’ve never pushed anything is actually part of the issue. I’ve been happy to let my SO go at their own pace, but by their own admission it’s why I don’t get the sexual gratification I’d enjoy. Like, when we first started dating they were the ones pushing me to engage in penetrative sex while I wanted to hold off.

Although that backfired on me because my penis doesn’t work.

The hard part is that they’ve stated that the reason they don’t offer to get me off when they’re not up to sex is because I don’t ask enough, but I don’t ask enough because if they’re not feeling well enough for sex then it seems shitty of me to ask for personal gratification at all.

But it’s really hard to gauge when they’re not feeling well enough to do anything, and when they’re well enough to do it

Not that me cumming is directly relational to me seeing them naked, but it speaks to my hesitation to ask. Because I do ask to see, but they seem to intentionally conflate me asking to see with me asking for sex, even though I’ve explained that when I ask to see I’m literally asking to see them naked.

I have asked for them to think of a way I can ask for personal gratification without seeming callous to their feelings, but like most requests of this nature it falls on deaf ears. Probably because they’re demisexual and don’t really understand a cis gendered straight male on testosterone’s sex drive.

Or heavy metal poisoning

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.

There is a method similar to a sheep shank knot that is super useful for very long cables, and you can use the over/under method for making the required loops.

Didn’t they just start shipping grid size salt batteries too?

Exactly. 99.9999% of consumers don’t give a fuck as long as they can still access Facebook and TikTok.

I stream it from my Plex server.

They are only outliers if you’re factoring in infant deaths, which you already said you weren’t.

That still doesn’t mean 30 was the maximum possible age for humans 30,000 years ago. The ratio of older to younger remains doesn’t mean a whole lot unless you can prove death from old age.

It’s not like we have a plethora of remains to draw these conclusions from.

That paper is garbage, then. People have been regularly living past 38 for thousands upon thousands of years.

And there’s no “design” for biology.

Get yourself a vacuum sealer.

I know this isn’t an answer that Lemmy will like, but if you’re going to use it as a reference, an AI image generator might be able to reproduce it close enough to be usable.

That’s not the American way.

Americans say we’re the best at something despite empirical evidence to the contrary.

Same with Sears, right?
