Do you know what showerhead you’re using, by any chance? I have a handheld head, but it doesn’t seem to have a ‘massage’ setting so I can never get quite enough pressure.

The pain is bodywide, unfortunately, but if I could find a method that at least hurt LESS, that would be a win, so I’ll try this out! Thanks!

You rock, thanks for the rec! I’ve actually been searching for something like this all week, but everything I found was cheap and poorly reviewed. Time to start saving up so I can treat myself. :)

That was my first masturbation experience, and definitely still the most fun! Although it’s cramped in my current bathtub — I’m hoping to get a nice big soaking tub soon.

I hear you. I have nerve compression issues so most touching (in the genital area or anywhere else) just feels like nothing at first due to the numbness, then it progresses to painful. With vibes I’ve had more luck but it’s still hit or miss sometimes. I hope you’re able to find some relief soon.

Thank you so much! I definitely get the arm fatigue thing so that sounds like it could be really helpful. I'd love to hear what your lightweight vibe was too if you happen to remember the name later. :)

Not as much as I should be using, probably! I definitely need to go get a nice new bottle and do some experimenting.

Thank you so much for the advice. “Having orgasms is more important than not having them” — I needed to hear that. :)

That’s very helpful, thank you!

Idk if this is really a common enough problem for you to write about in your series, but due to chronic pain/sensory issues, I have trouble masturbating with my hands — or rather, tolerating the repetitive rubbing sensation long enough to reach orgasm. Even the good stuff starts to hurt after a few minutes. Is using a…

Well, clearly these women are only lesbians because they haven’t met Michael Westen yet.

Whereas the award for most obnoxiously sung number goes to 877-CASH-NOW.

Does anyone know of an app like this for identifying fish/marine life? I feel like a jerk having to ask more experienced divers to ID everything I see underwater.

So for those of us with joint laxity — can someone explain the “stability training” that link recommends for us to deal with our trigger points rather than stretching? Is it just the exercise ball/balance board/etc core training stuff I’m already doing? Because I’m not seeing much improvement in my muscle tightness…

I now understand Ariel falling in love with Eric after one meeting, because I have fallen in love with you after one comment thread.

That sounds like a much better solution than letting them float around the bottom of my bag.

I’m just in love with the term tamp-case. I want one so I can go around talking about my tamp-case all day — but two tampons would not be nearly enough for me. I need a tamp-purse.

See, my mom has offered me the money for #2 (as well as permission to install it since I live with her) but it would require major renovation and I’m terrified of having strangers in my living space. Also I’d have to clean out the bathroom and ugh. So I just keep using the tiny bathtub in the tiny guest bathroom and…

When my family was in the market for our house 20+ years ago, our other option had a secret passageway in it. I BEGGED for that house, but it was too expensive. So instead of a house with a secret passage, I have a recurring dream about living in a house with a secret passage. Sometimes it opens up to a whole new…

If this is cancelled as swiftly as the Pete Holmes show was, I will cry/rage (even more than I did when Pete Holmes got canned).
