This section could use more consistent moderation to weed out the conspiracy theorists and people propagating discrimination and dog whistles.

I used to sleep on my stomach sometimes when I had a very soft and comfortable memory foam mattress. I started traveling and found myself sleeping on stiff as f mattresses. Getting a really firm mattress might help.

Have you considered keeping your diet the same but eating fish??

hope both of yall are feeling ok

By being honest

Did Leo write these questions cause he was trying to "measure" if he was more awake than Peter?

man I'm really sorry you are going through this. are you located in a developed country? what is your financial situation? I wouldn't give up on fixing this through doctors. some medical spheres in certain countries may be ignorant in treating this. do tons of research online... go on reddit and other forums and ask questions. Find people who have went through this before and see how they healed it. if it def can not be healed look into alternative routs, i think you can gain foreskin back by slowly stretching it. If this still doesn't work look for ways to ease the physical pain. I think you can def do more to heal this and get to a place to enjoy sex how you wish to.

some of yall need to drop the guru worship circle jerk trying to figure out who is over 9000 I don't know half of the people being talked about in this thread and with good reason. Just cause someone is awake they suddenly have something original or valuable to share... lol nah... be your own guru

Oh sorry to hear about your cousin. Lockdown has also messed with my plans some for the summer and getting some stuff going for moving as well. Just flow with it. No need to resist and create emotional struggles about it. A lot of opportunity will present itself as things unfold.

You don't have to do anything. Just feel it fully. Don't resist it or try to control it or judge it or try to protect yourself from it. Just feel how you feel fully and be easy and compassionate with yourself and how you feel. Journaling helps too or connecting with others going through the same thing as you. When you feel it has passed and with a clear mind plan your next action steps to make a positive difference regarding this issue.

Have you thought about getting a room with some other people your age? It's a great way to make new friends. I've been in a similar situation as you before. Be like the water flowing. Set your boundaries but also don't let yourself get triggered. If it is something you can let go, just let it go. If you are being disrespected try to speak up for yourself in a non-aggressive way. Avoid them as much as possible if they are particularly toxic or you feel you need your space. Do chores and help out around the house when you can to avoid scrutiny from them. You'll be out on your own in no time so keep your head up

sup bitches it's this dude chad warden

im so confused rn

wait wut. I thought you said 5meo is the only substance for you... you now are stanning for regular dmt?

thanks for the advice but I'm not 40 I'm in my late 20s. I feel this blockage when I start getting closer to a girl, like I'm scared to receive love from them or I'll be hurt or limited by being with them. I push away those that want something more and attract those that are sort of closed off and not looking for anything serious. I'm going to practice giving myself more self love and being willing to jump in and focus on looking for deeper intimacy.

yup, they will damage your mind if done incorrectly

Psychadelics are the most powerful way but powerful doesn't necessarily mean a healthy or good in the same way steroids are the most powerful way to gain muscle but can cause health issues for many people if done incorrectly. They def aren't for everyone and need to be done super carefully, sometimes this isn't stated enough.

Check out the work by Peter Levine. He talks about this in detail. You can use the healing of trauma to awaken. It's what has been my path. I've found it's a balance. You can get treatment and therapy and you will find it aids in awakening. Healing and awakening compliment each other and go hand in hand, strike a balance which works for you!

dude this is a great way of looking at things I also sometimes feel like I'm unlovable or flawed as a person and that's why I am not married yet but I think I'll find someone for deep intimacy the more I give myself love. I can be a bit scared really opening up to a girl and find myself finding excuses to keep things casual and not get too serious. I am a little worried about still being a bachelor at 40 that just has casual sex and never experiences deep intimacy.

yeah same... DMT turns into a visionary ride that sucks me totally in... Can't say I enjoy it much at all. I think more gentle substances are better for introspection work and self healing if that is one's intent (Mushrooms, Mescaline, MDMA). DMT is for people who can handle their shit and really let go into it fully or just powering through and doing it a fuck ton until things click I suppose? I see myself doing it in the future one day though when I can handle fear better while tripping and ground myself out better after.

I have a more Laissez faire approach to this. It should be done consciously but I don't have a problem with the plethora of fantasies and emotional ways people engage in sex as long as it is consensual and legal. I think we too often find ourselves secretly judging and wrapping shame around all the ways people choose to enjoy sex. We will approach it with judgement, a protector mindset, a critical one or as a perfectionist of how it should be to be the most healthy expression.... all because someone has a thought or an emotion that may be seen as objectionable. It's fine if someone wants to have more detached or aggressive sex. It can actually be cathartic to acknowledge those desires and if done so consciously, play with them through sex and masturbation. I often times find myself wondering if there is something wrong with me sexually because I enjoy porn so much... there isn't, wrapping stringent expectations about what should bring one pleasure through sex is just another form of toxic shame since it is usually this emotion which is the container or boundaries of sorts for these standards. It is not what I would call healthy shame. Fully embrace, accept and love oneself regardless of what desires of energies of the sexual nature one might be carrying. Healthy shame around sex would be the ability to distinguish mistakes that bring on pain to another and making amends for it. I can't see myself applying the same standard to someone exercising what is essentially their imagination or consensual play that doesn't live up to some sort of purity standard.

hmm right... just like it was said that was supposed to be the deciding factor in 2016 what's going to beat Trump is a strong showing by the other side offering a dynamic, genuine and inclusive platform that attracts the middle. Not just counting on Trump to do something disgusting cause that seems to be a weekly since 2015

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/spain-porn-star-held-man-dies-toad-venom-200004558.html First off... I'm confused why this was listed under the finance section of yahoo news He was facilitating Bufo ceremonies out of his home apparently. Secondly I'm curious what exactly caused the body to die... Can Bufo or 5meo if dosed way too high bring on a heart attack or respiratory failure? Are there any other deaths associated with this psychedelic? people have died from taking Ayahuasca: Usually from doing something dangerous while tripping like jumping off something, someone is believed to have died from choking on vomit while not being supervised. A few cases I believe where someone taking a prohibited medication that caused a lethal mixture. I think some people who already had a preexisting condition may have died as well from drinking. Finally drinking tobacco water and mixing various other substances all at once has caused death before during these retreats.

Yeah I do agree and I do have a great life regardless of the hardships and stuff I wish I could fix about myself. I guess it just hurts a bit sometimes to feel I don't fit in this way or not having met anyone that has really drawn me to want to commit and wondering if I'm flawed in some way. I do desire to be in a LTR but I don't want it to come for desperateness in order to not be judged by my family.
