Sex toys haven't forever been associated with an extravagant market; Customers frequently purchased back massagers with an off-label use as a vibrator or simply did not interact with the products for a considerable amount of time. In any case, on account of changing discernments and mindfulness about joy's part in sexual wellbeing, which is vital to health, sex-toy utilization is on the ascent and disgrace is consistently advancing out. In 2023, nearly 1.5 million Americans, up from 86 million in 2017, said they used them every week, according to market research. We are also better off as a result of sex toys because of their advantages.
One silver lining of the pandemic is that it established the groundwork for an expanded use in sex toys. While people remained at home, they got physically inquisitive and imaginative, whether during masturbation meetings or in the extent of cooperated connections. Reports indicate that during periods of lockdown and isolation, the sale of sex-related products has doubled or even tripled in some countries. Industry dollars support this idea.
As a sex specialist, I love seeing this shift. The documented rise in the use of sex toys has a positive effect on our sexual health and wellness because it encourages us to be more open about sexual discourse and general topics. Why? Although it may begin with pleasure, it is far from over.

Any recommendations for legitimate Thai Massage that aggressively and effectively focuses on stretching/knot? The kind that make you feel like they’re going to break you but you feel amazing after. I have tried a couple but they were ‘Thai Style’ but didn’t push through hard enough.

I’ve had a painful low back for over a decade. I assume my glutes and core need to be strengthened and I’m working on that but my backs hurts so bad on a daily basis it’s hard to do the work.
It’s especially bad after long hours on my feet or sitting for long periods. I think I injured it dancing in high school and it feels like it never healed. Sometimes it’s hard to stand up. I have to lean on a table and use my arms to pull myself up. Turning side to side in bed hurts so much despite having pillows to support all the areas I’ve read are recommended. I haven’t heard other people complain of this with low back pain.
Yoga poses like cobra feel like they could crunch my lower back and be damaging so I try to do modifications or avoid compressing my low back all together. I’ve now spent literally thousands of dollars over the years on modalities to support my back. I’m a nurse and nearing 30 so I’m trying to get ahead of this. It’s entirely too early to be so affected by this and I’m worried about it worsening.
Things I’ve tried to be proactive:

• Quit job requiring wearing head lead apron
• Taken over a month of work off to rest my body
• 6+ months of pelvic floor therapy
• 8 months physical therapy and trying to continue the exercises at home
• On and off chiropractic for years
• Yoga on an at least weekly basis
• Massage
• ice seems to help
• Magnesium baths don’t seem to do anything
• Laying on my stomach when on my phone or laptop to open my “front body” and avoid the sedentary killer that is sitting

The pain is coming from inside my pelvis. If I try to massage my outer lower back I can never actually access the area that’s gives me trouble. I have no “nerve” or shooting down my leg (usually signifying sciatica) or significant tell tale signs of SI Joint pain, but I do get zingers sometimes when I stand up to fast or try to lean over to grab something that take my breath away.
I’m honestly desperate. Open to any advice. I can’t be the only one dealing with this. Thank you.

Looking to arrange professional massage after a long flight ✈️
(Some place walkable if possible near Hardgate in Aberdeen City)
Can anyone offer a recommendation? Thank you 😊

I’m 19 Female 5’7 110lb used to smoke cigarettes for 5 years quit a couple months ago I smoke weed maybe four times a month if that I don’t drink occasional mushroom use maybe three times a year I been taking sertraline 25 mg for a few weeks for anxiety family history of heart failure I think. Im not totally sure I just know my grandpa had heart issues and they gave him the wrong meds and he had a heart attack and died. And my mother has an irregular heart beat and has had a heart attack as well. My legs are purple-ish pink color with white spots near my ankles for a few years now. They turn back to my normal skin color if I elevate and massage them but when I stand back up they’re purple again within seconds. I’m also starting to develop varicose veins as well. Should I be worried? Is this a heart issue or my veins? Thanks
Edit: I should probably add I abused adderall for about three months three years ago and was malnourished pretty much my entire life till recently so I’m pretty concerned

My boyfriend and I have been together almost a year now. We moved in together very early on in our relationship and I’m positive he’s the love of my life. We have an incredibly healthy relationship which we both admire and acknowledge often. We push each other to be the best versions of ourselves both in our careers and personal lives and it’s built on a foundation of strong communication skills. In just the year of being together, we both helped each other in many ways. I exercise more because he inspires and pushes me to do that and read books he has shown me that have developed my personal growth. As a financial planner, I have helped him in an area that he wasn’t really good at before meeting me that he was able to save six figures in a matter of months from having me push him to being disciplined in spending habits and learning to invest. These are just a few examples and there are plenty of others in how we have flourished as individuals as a result of being together. We really have never had any major arguments as a result since we talk everything through logically and always look out for each others feelings. I have been through a lot in my life (battled cancer when I was young, broke off an engagement 2 years ago, etc) that when I met him, I knew what we had was special so I avoid ever nagging at him or picking fights because at the end of the day I love him a lot and enjoy having a blissful relationship very much. He tells me on a daily basis that he can’t wait to propose to me and have kids with me in the near future (1-2 years). We talk about life goals and aspirations and how we will get there together. We also have incredible sexual chemistry. We have sex regularly and we get nasty in bed to fully please one another.
Lately, my boyfriend has been too tired to have as much sex as we once did. It has made me craving it more and we bickered a handful of times but last night, we had our very first major argument… Basically, I went away for a work conference for the entire week. While at the conference, I ordered online a door sex swing to spice things up in the bedroom. It’s also worth noting that he had a toxic relationship in his early 20s and he told me early on in dating that the only reason why he stayed with that girlfriend who was incredibly toxic was because the sex was incredible. He had mentioned they had a sex swing that he got for her and I told him that I would love to try that and he said he would enjoy that with me as well. I paid an extra $15 to overnight it so it can get in by the time I got back from the conference. I got back Thursday late afternoon and sure enough the package was there. I told him I got a surprise and he loved it when he opened it up and set it up excitedly right away. He started teasing me on it and saying once he’s done with work, he’s gonna please me tonight from how much he missed having me all week. We ended up going out to dinner and he ordered dessert to go so we can enjoy the dessert in our sexual activities planned for the night. I was getting tingly down there from the excitement. By the time we got home and settled, he said he was too tired and to save the swing and sex in general for tomorrow night. Even though I was upset, I accepted it and said that I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Friday morning we woke up, worked out, and worked from home together with having an easy work day. We got massages after work and went over my parents for dinner. I noticed when he overeats, his sexual desires diminishes so on the way to my parents we joked about not eating a lot of food for the festivities we had planned for the evening when we get back home. Even while eating dinner we joked about it under the radar. I noticed he was eating way too much so I told him to slow down and my parents said why, it’s a Friday let him enjoy this food and he said,”well your daughter wants to go for a run after this which is why we are trying to eat light.” (going running is code for sex). We then watched the basketball game on the couch and I saw him get more and more comfortable to the point he said,”let’s save it for tomorrow, I’m tired again.” My heart shattered. I was so excited to have sex that night that I was literally throbbing down there all day and night. I got upset but didn’t say anything. Just kept watching the game saddened that I striked out again. By the time we drove off, the argument started. He went on to say that he doesn’t like being pressured into having sex and we should have it when we both feel like it. I expressed to him how I don’t feel as desired in the bedroom as I once did and my emotions carried me to say that he seemed to enjoy the sex so much with his toxic ex girlfriend and asked why he can’t just make the extra effort tonight to have sex with me, the non toxic loving girlfriend. He said he doesn’t appreciate me bringing up his past especially because it was nearly a decade ago and he’s 32 and a grown man now. I continued to express how it was upsetting that I haven’t seen him all week and was really looking forward to making love and respected it last night when he said he was tired since it was a weeknight but the fact that it’s Friday and only 10pm and he can’t give it to me makes me feel insecure. He said he is simply tired and went on to say,”I don’t want to be with someone who nags at me for sex and I don’t like the fact that you carry your emotions on your face like the way you just did at your parents while watching the game when I told you it’s not happening tonight.” I got quiet and said,”do you not want to be with me?” he said,”I want to be with you. I just need you to know that I’m willing to walk away from someone who acts the way you’re acting right now.” I apologized and told him I would be more self aware of my facial expressions moving forward and won’t nag at him for sex ever again and will keep it to myself. The rest of the car ride was silence. I teared up a bit because the fact he threatened a breakup like that was heart shattering. When we got home, I got out the car and gave him a kiss and hugged him. When we got in bed, I expressed that I don’t appreciate threatening a breakup especially when we both know we have such a healthy relationship. He said he loves me to death but is “keeping tabs” when I anger him to that degree because we are not married and again, he’s willing to walk away if he sees a quality in me he’s not willing to live with for the rest of his life. I’m writing this in the middle of the night because I can’t fall asleep. I’m pretty hurt. I understand I was in the wrong in that situation but again, him wanting to contemplating jumping ship the minute there’s adversity from a relationship that is peaceful and blissful 99% of the time is very hurtful. How should I go about this tomorrow morning when he awakes? Move on and learn from this?
TL;DR: In an otherwise healthy, supportive relationship, my boyfriend and I hit a roadblock over differing sexual expectations. I bought a sex swing to spice things up after he expressed his exhaustion, referencing a similar experience with an ex. But he’s been too tired for any activity, causing our first major argument. Despite his alarming threat of break-up, I'm left confused and seeking advice on how to move forward.

Hi all!
First post on reddit to told you about my journey of adding a trackpad to the right thumb cluster of my ZSA Moonlander. After a month of use, I finnally found a near perfect layout, the only thing bothering me is grabbing the mouse. I found the QMK mouse keys to me awkward to use and finally stumbled upon u/nov1n post about integrating a ploopy nano https://www.reddit.com/ergodox/comments/13h9zox/ploopy_nano_mount_for_moonlander_thumb_cluste. But it needs another USB cable on the desk and some QMK quirks for devices communication (like this https://github.com/mrossinek/qmk_firmware/tree/mrossinek/keyboards/ploopyco/trackball_nano/keymaps/maddie). @nov1n also has a great idea with a frankenball (intergrating Logitech M575 in thumb cluster): no more cable as it is wireless but no scrolling as no communication is possible between Logitech proprietary firmware and QMK. So I ask ZSA about thumb cluster ribbon pinout and it happends there is an unused i2c bus available! I take a look at available i2c pointing device drivers in QMK https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/mastedocs/feature_pointing_device.md. The only trackball available is Pimoroni. I ordered one and a FPC16 breakout board. And with trivial changes in my QMK firmware, it kind of works! Main problem is that the cursor is jumpy an lacks precision (and is scratchy). I'll try to improve that in software but, reading comments here and there, I fear it won't be possible to have something I like. So, I've got some questions:
Any ideas how to improve Pimoroni trackball experience?
Do you know of a i2c sensor able to track properly? (I should be able to write a QMK driver from existing code)
Another possibility would be to hook a MCU in the thumb cluster an make it translate SPI to i2c but that's a lot of work.
Maybe it's also possible to change Ploopy firmware to communicate with i2c instead of USB? This last solution feels great to me because QMK already have i2c communication between MCU for split keyboards). But my knowledge of QMK is insufficient at the moment. Any tips to get started?
(Of course, there is the Cirque touchpad option but I don't like them very much)

Hi /microdosing
(trigger warning; self harm)
I have always been fascinated with microdosing and it's something I enjoyed a lot back in college (mostly for recreational purposes to enhance the effects of THC). When I had access to mushrooms, they were my favorite. Eventually I lost access to them and moved on to LSD and 1P-LSD. I found some value there too, but it always felt a bit too racey and stimulating (could have been dosing too high). I think it was great for focus and for physical activities, but it just didn't give me the same mystical introspection that psilocybin offered. Last year I decided to start MDing 1P-LSD again and by the end of the year, I had taken a few macro doses too. This co-occurred with some personal relationship issues that left me in a horribly deep depression and so I stopped it all together. I did continue using THC in various quantities, mostly just to mask my depression.
A couple of months ago, I started therapy for the first time because my depression was crippling me to the point where I was making plans to end my life. Things have slightly improved since then. My counselor and I have a really good relationship and I have been seeing her twice a week (she is well aware of my history with psychedelics). Unfortunately though, even with therapy, the suicidal thoughts and ideation have not gone away and we are both concerned about my safety. She recently diagnosed me with clinical depression although I suspect a personality disorder, BPD specifically. I've been trying to cut back on my THC usage because it seems to worsen my depression when I come down from higher doses. Now I'm basically only microdosing THC as needed along with CBD and CBN. I'm not satisfied with this as I am still very unstable and not really interested in my life anymore. I also refuse to start antidepressants or really any prescription medications for a few different reasons.
Fortunately, I now have access to mushrooms and I feel that they have come back into my life for a reason. I want to start MDing again. Now that I'm older, living on my own and working full time, I want to be more deliberate and careful about my routine. I have some mental health goals that I want to achieve and I firmly believe that psilocybin is going to play a crucial role in this journey. Here are some notes and ideas I have been brainstorming:
-I took my first mushroom microdose for the first time in many years this past Wednesday. I ate 0.2g and it may have been slightly too much as things felt pretty trippy for a couple of hours. I also felt a pretty harsh comedown towards the end of the day which was relieved with small amounts of THC, CBD and CBN. I am MDing again tomorrow, I may go down to 0.15g
-That being said, the following two days have been pretty good. Not amazing, but I do feel more involved in my life now. I know that sometimes the best effects can be felt on the non dosing days. Right now I am thinking I will dose on Wednesdays and Saturdays to start (1 day on, 2 days off, 1 day on, 3 days off)
-I recently discovered that I see a lot of benefits from kanna in doses around 20mg (especially when combined with THC and CBD). I actually just ordered some kanna extract and I plan on incorporating this into my regimen. I'm not sure if I should make it a daily thing or maybe just on the days where I'm not MDing? Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
-While I have been weaning off THC, I feel it is something I will want to have in this journey, even if it's just a microdose. Eventually, I would really like to start using it recreationally again in higher doses, even if it's just a few times a month. For now, I would just like to know how I can incorporate it into my psilocybin routine. Maybe on non dosing days with kanna and CBD?
-While I am heavily leaning towards psilocybin, I do also have a few sheets of LSD/1P-LSD. It probably makes sense to stick with one psychedelic or the other and not alternate too much, huh? I'll probably stick with mushies for as long as I have access to them which should be indefinitely now.
-Some time down the road, I would like to work up to a macro dose of mushrooms. I have always had beautiful experiences when taking 2g+ and I think it could actually help me break out of this depression. I'm thinking once I have some more microdosing under my belt, I'll know when I'm ready for a big dose
-I have also been considering other things as well such as lions mane and ashwagandha either on MD days or off days with the kanna. I'm wary of adding unfamiliar things though, so not so sure about these
-Regardless of my routine, I will be continuing with therapy for a long time, it has been tremendously helpful all on its own.
Overall, I really want my life back. For the past 8-9 months, I have been crying almost every day. I have cried more in the past year than I have my entire life. My productivity at work has been slipping a lot which is disheartening because I love my job. I have lost interest in nearly every aspect of my life aside from weightlifting which is basically my lifeline right now along with therapy. I want to escape from these horribly dark thoughts that plague my mind. I want to form healthy relationships, I want to make friends and be social and laugh again. I want to eventually find a loving partner. I am starting to feel hopeful again after just one microdose, but I really want to attack this full force. And I want to do it with the medicine/plants that I know work the best for me, i.e.: psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, kanna, maybe even LSD if it comes to that point.
If anyone has suggestions for a routine, I'd love to hear your opinions or maybe even your own experiences. I know this is super long so anyone who made it this far, thank you so much for reading!

So, I was diagnosed with this nearly a decade ago. I was in a high profile job and had my admin call the ambulance when I had my first attack. I had no idea what was happening to me, but after arriving at the hospital, I learned it was vertigo. After being treated, I cautiously drove myself home many hours lately wondering why they let me drive because I still wasn’t right. Saw an ENT later who diagnosed me with MD. Also, saw the Dizzy Dr. Timothy Hain in Chicago. I’m starting to learn he was one of the the best, now retired. He clued me into the fact that many with MD also have migraines and suggested I get the book Heal your Headache by David Bucholtz. I was nearly episode free for 8+ years watching my diet. Then moved to 5500’ altitude, and it’s back. Cut out more foods. Better for 18 months. Cut out even more foods, better. All I can figure is it’s disease progression. Ginger root is a big help. Ginkgo Biloba seems to help. Also trying pycnogenol. Most important, a migraine prevention smoothie every morning seems to help…3 c spinach, handful of kale, Granny Smith apple, 1” ginger root (key ingredient), 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and milk has done wonders. Hope this helps.

I started writing a book nearly three years ago about rock music in my home state of Georgia. I had the opportunity to speak to Glen Phillips for awhile on the phone, and naturally the subject of Frank Zappa was part of the discussion. Glen told me about how he and Col. Bruce Hampton met Frank in Greenwich Village back during the Garrick Theater days, and how Hampton Grease Band and The Mothers used to play shows together when the Mothers came to Atlanta. I was treated also to stories of Frank's friendship with Col. Bruce through Rev. Jeff Mosier, as Bruce lived with Jeff for a brief time during the Aquarium Rescue Unit days.
Then, I got sick. I was hospitalized with liver failure and nearly died, so I got way off track. Lost a bunch of my notes. Lost my recorded conversations. Have to start all over again.
No problem.
Either way, I hope I'm not spinning my wheels with this thing. I have no idea who really gives a shit about the rock era, anymore.

First time poster here, just kind of getting my thoughts out to put things in perspective hopefully.
Been with my (31M) partner (32F) for 7 years, married for nearly 3 years. She and I have always had pretty matching libidos.
Since the birth of our first child, our sex life has tanked pretty hard. We went from 1-2 times a week to 1-2 times about every 3 months.
Now, I was certainly never expecting our intimacy to remain unaffected once we brought a child into the picture. Childrearing taking priority over intimacy with your partner is basically a rite of passage for parents.
Obviously, I've never been over the moon about this unintended side effect, but I love my wife and little girl dearly and so decided early on to put them both ahead of my wants.
Bringing things up to present, my kid has just turned 3 and both me and my wife have yet to find our groove again. We've always been affectionate with one another, but as much as I try to initiate things, she just doesn't seem to respond any more.
I should mention some things here:

1. My wife suffers from pelvic congestion syndrome and has chronic pain
2. She has been in a new manager level job for less than 6 months and is constantly stressed/overworked
3. Because of reason 1, sex has become a physically painful experience for her, regardless of how gentle I try to take things.

Honestly, just writing up the above list makes me feel like an asshole for wanting more. I don't blame her for any of it, I just feel so lonely sometimes because the physical aspect of our marriage has dried up completely.
For context, this has been the state of things since my wife fell pregnant. The job has just exacerbated what was already occurring. What little we were able to muster has now ground to a complete halt.
We've discussed this and tried to implement strategies to change things (monthly date nights, couples massages, more affection in general etc). My wife is also in counselling for her ongoing depression and anxiety (she was doing this prior to us dating) but it doesn't seem like she is making our issue any sort of priority.
At this stage, I don't have much confidence in things changing. I keep telling myself we're just stuck in a rut and things will change eventually but I'm finding it little comfort these days.
I'm not fishing for sympathy, just trying to express my feelings a bit. Has anyone had similar experiences? Advice is appreciated too.

A bit about him; According to the shelter, he has interacted and lived with rabbits prior with absolutely no issue. He has, however, been rehomed quite a bit.
His original furrever home, his owner was an old woman who loved him dearly, but she died. The apartment building collapsed on them, and he was stuck under the rubble for a long time. He was wearing a harness at the time and was desperately trying to get out so he has a big scar on his shoulders and neck where the harness was.
The shelter found him his first home with a nice couple that had bunnies. He was extremely happy there, and he was great friends with the bunnies. The bunnies were free roam and spent all their time with him, and he treated them like they were his babies. But according to the humans, the cat was "too needy" and cried when they left the house, and they were planning on having a child so they didn't think he would be a good fit for them. Mind you they had him over a year before they decided this!
The second home was with another couple, but it turns out they were hoarding animals. They brought him back injured saying he wasn't a good fit because he peed on their floor and also the other cats didn't like him. (He has never peed on the floor with me.)
The third home was with a family, the two daughters were nice but mom and dad were abusive, the mom was verbally abusive, and the dad was physically abusive. The daughters actually brought him back to the shelter to save him from their parents, and the parents, as far as I am aware, are still "looking" for him.
I found him on an adoption page after my cat passed away and we were looking for a new friend for our rabbits. The cat we had was extremely close to them, and acted like a mom to them. One of my buns was getting very sick since she passed and not eating. My home also felt extremely empty without a cat..
We read his story and fell in love. We saw he was young enough to be trained easily and already had prior experience with rabbits, so he was perfect all around. Plus I know we won't get rid of him ever, and I wanted him to have a furrever home because he deserves that. My last cat left behind a lot of toys and cat trees and cat climbs, so I knew we were going to be able to spoil him.
Fast forward to now, it's been about a month and he is fitting in perfectly. We decided to introduce him to the buns gradually, we have their pens set up in my bedroom so they can see each other but he can't really touch them. We have also opened up the house slowly to allow him time to adapt instead of overwhelming him with all this space all at once.
Right now, he is mostly in the bedroom with me. I'm home a lot due to my disability and this works out well because he is a bombay and is on the needier side. He cries when I leave and follows me everywhere. He loves to play and be pampered.
Everyday we have a routine where I give the buns their treat and he follows me as I give it to them, and then I give him his morning wet meal. We play in the morning after breakfast and in the afternoon before dinner. We sleep together, and he also gets massages and moisturizer on his toe beans and scar, which he seems to enjoy.
The buns need free roam time daily, so every day, when we let the bunnies out, he goes down the hall out of my room to his play room, and the buns free roam in the bedroom. My mom stays with him to keep him company during this time and he seems to look forward to that. When he comes back in the room and smells that they've been out, he doesn't try to get rid of their scent or mark stuff, he just goes about his business.
There's already been a situation where he snuck in while the buns were out, and he was very good. He was rubbing on them and loving on them, and just laid down and showed his belly. So he isn't being aggressive at all towards them.
When they are penned, he goes up to the pen to kiss them and lay by them. He is very calm, and even when they zig zag around, he doesn't chase or stalk. He never seems to look at them as prey. Even when we let him play on the TV, he will attack the birds and mice and squirrels, but when a bunny comes on, he doesn't swipe.
Here is the issue though. I have noticed when I go to interect with the bunnies, he will paw at them. Like, when the bunnies come up to the font of the pen, he sticks his paw through and they hop away. They don't seem scared when he does this, just annoyed, because they still come up to greet him a lot and even kiss him and pass him toys through the slats of the pen.
He doesn't seem to be using his claws, and is being gentle when he does it, but the quick motion surprises the bunnies and I don't really like that they are starting to not want to come near the front of the pen to greet me as much because they don't wanna be swiped.
He doesn't seem to do this when I'm not in the room, and he doesn't even do this when I am in the room. He only does it when I go near the buns.
I don't know if he's mimicking me because I reach through the pen to pet them and give them treats, or if he is being territorial and doesn't want them to invade his space, or if he is being jealous toward them because he wants all my attention to himself. It could also be that he's trying to play with them, or just being curious. But every time he sees them come up to the gate when I'm near it, no matter where he is or what he's doing, he will walk up to the pen, and paw them away.
He doesn't listen when I say no, don't do that. And it's not just this that he doesn't listen to me about, either. He just doesn't listen when I say no. Like he tries jumping up on top of the pens and onto my nightstand. I say no but he keeps doing it over and over again. And I don't wanna yell or be stern because he's been yelled at before and hit before, so I don't know how to correct his behavior.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this behavior shift when I'm near the pen, and how to correct it? Also, just how to reprimand him in general, because I don't want to scare him.
I would prefer help from someone that is a cat behaviorist, has bunnies and cats, or just is familiar with situations like this. Thanks in advance.
