Hehehehe, that's too funny! Don't forget to tell the LAMO joke! hahahaha

Usually a Pap Smear will be done, and if they're thorough, they'll give you a blood test also. You've had one of those before right? If not let me know and I can tell you what to expect. Good luck.

No worries firefighter!! I did not take offense, I am just very opinionated! LOL My apologies if it came across as an attack LOL! I think a great deal of weight troubles spawn from stress; and today that is an inevitable fact of daily life. Maintaining the size is the easy part, it's getting there that I believe is the difficult part. That being said, it's easy to make excuses for not eating right or not working out; don't have time, dont have the money, so on so forth. It's easier to just admit defeat to whatever it is and be happy with yourself (for lack of better terms). I agree, just a size or two would make a tremendous difference, if in nothing else, confidence. And going naughty-clothes shopping sounds like a hella good time! LOL

Too cool!! I'm SOO gonna go buy another tube of that stuff!! What a brilliant idea to use that kind of material beneath makeup, wow, I really would have never guessed to do that, **jumps up and down** LOL Hehehe I'm so terribly easy to amuse! :-P It definitely makes the skin smooth as a baby's butt, that's for sure!! I use it everywhere it seems, well, at least everywhere that I shave! LOL I'm suprised the store doesn't have more of it, just one little batch of them, close to the bottom shelf...it's a well-kept secret. Ladies, it's well-worth the $6, so go out and buy some of the Monistat Anti-Chafing Powder-Gel...it's fantastic and multi-functional (as Eminatic so eloquently demonstrated) LOL

Interesting Admiral!! I keep telling my hubby he better watch out, lol that I'm going to bend him over the bed one night. LOL NO words, just "HUH UH!!!!!" LOL Hmmm....a fetish; let's see. Latex is a festish, bondage and leather as well. If I had to pick one of my own fetishes I think it would be a "squirt" fetish. I love having a woman cum all over me, and I love cuming on my man too. You could probably call it a "cum" fetish if you want to, since I love for my hubby to cum on me also! (Hehehehee) <<<<<Blushes>>>>>>>>

Yep, that's the one!! And it works wonders! Haha!! How cool is that? I didn't realize I was using something similar to foundation primer! lmao Does that mean you can use it on your face? hahahaha Ahh you learn something new everyday.

Wow, this was frikin' hilarious!! I will definitely pass this on!!! Thanks a bunch

Thanks for the tips guys. I tried a new technique, and I must say, it worked like a charm!! I don't have that post-shave day stubble, and even though my shave wasn't nearly as close, there was no irritation! I figured it had something to do with using my hubby's 5-blade for down there. Sure as shit, I bought a pack of the "silky touch" 2 bladed razors and went to town with some hair conditioner (Thank you Eminatic) and it worked great! I also bought some of the gel-to-powder stuff that monistat makes to help avoid chafing and irritation from shaving, and I must say, it was a great investment. I think I'm still going to try the waxing thing, but for the time being, this will be a great temporary routine!

Sterc, I have to agree with Eminatic, it's all about preferences. It was more for enrichment than replacement. There's nothing wrong with my natural juices, I'm assuming it's just the mental part that serves as a distraction. And by the way, I wouldn't recommend going from ass to mouth either (EEW). hahaha :-P Thanks for all the input.

Hi Anathema (sp?) First of all <<<<applauds, bows>>>>>>, congrats to you for making a LDR last so long! From what you've said, you really seem to have a great thing going. My primary concern is, why can't he move? I understand the economy is bad, but personally, I think being with the person you love should be a priority. <<<Hums "All ya need is LOVE!!">>> How about you? Could you move there? Do you have anything tying you down at home besides your child's father? Surely there are more teaching jobs there. I understand neither one of you can just pick up and move on a whim, but at the same time, 3 years into this situation, there should be a better level of stability than what you have. That resentment you refer to will only fester, and if I had to guess by previous situations, resentment can AND will destroy a relationship, no matter what the terms. You're probably thinking, "eh, what's this youngin' know about my issues" LOL. I get that a lot. What I can say is, I've gained a lot of tough-to-swallow lessons living in a mind-numbing "culture" full of resentful women who go through life with hubby being home twice every 3-5 years, while the remainder he's off being "U.S. Hero" and she's being mommy AND daddy. It's very similar to a LDR. There is a reason why the divorce rate in the military is so terrible (ohh about 70%, give or take), it's because MOST human beings are not emotionally equipped enough to maintain a relationship where they're completely self-sustaining. What's the point, really? Could be a single person and have a lot less baggage, right? And be just as lonely as you are right now. Weigh your current investments in the relationship against what you feel your emotional needs are, and I'm guessing you may answer your own questions. When you talk to him, don't let the fear of losing each other distort your reality. This situation requires logic and a lot of soul searching. You know what you need to be happy, even if you don't necessarily want to admit to it. I really wish you the best. We have some extremely intelligent, worldly people on this board, and I guarantee you a wealth of support.

So funny!! I always get stuck with the "wet spot", no fair! LOL I usually lay a towel down or something though, there's nothing less appealing when you're post-coidal and tired!! I agree, this is a great topic to start up again. As for my "rules"...that's a toughy! I don't have a lot of them, that's for sure; I'm pretty open minded to all that sex has to offer. Perhaps short of "scat" or --UGHHH gross-- shit-play. Who on earth.. OH DEAR, I won't even get into it. I do totally agree with CGEM: a No-No attitude is very limiting and I could see where it would lead to some boring and perhaps non-existent sexual escapades. Anal is a touchy subject for me I think. I'm not fond of anal unless I'm completely uninhibited via alcohol! Just can't get past the pain factor I guess! Other than that, hubby and I are pretty balls-to-the-wall!!!

Great post SuzyP, and thanks for the support I saw your picture; way to go! I haven't been anywhere near a size 12 since High School, and even then that was as small as I got; maybe it's my height? I'm 5'8 and even at 150-160lbs I wore a size 12/14. I think being any smaller than that would be pretty unrealistic huh! LOL Maybe I'll try that hanging around the house naked thing!! Sounds, well....very liberating! LOL

Yeah, I thought that it might be the blades! Will definitely have to try some of the tips you guys gave me...and if all else fails, I'll check on the electrolysis thing. I'm really thinking, if I did the waxing thing more often, it wouldn't hurt nearly as bad; it's definitely a shock to the system at first though!! I guess the trick is to do it often and establish a routine, just like most other beauty regimes! Ughhh, the things we do to be beautiful (and silky smooth!) LOL!

Great post hun!! So very true!!! I'm a living and breathing example of what stress does to a person!! I've been called bi-polar, manic depressive, OCD, and PTS when all I think it is is an overload of stress! It really messes with the mind and body, and you don't realize it until later. Oh, and admiral, I know EXACTLY how you feel. It's almost 4am here and I'm just finishing up a cluster of papers for class. Gotta love it

LOL!! I'm so sorry to laugh, I just remember how it was, babe I'm sorry Synirr, I know exactly how ya feel. Are your parents very old fashioned or highly religious? My mom did the same thing to me before hubby and I eloped...she wouldn't allow us to sleep in the same room, let alone the same bed! I'm glad that's a thing of the past! Of course she'd be angry if she knew we did the dirty in her house, but somethings are better left unsaid <<<<mischievious grin>>>> Have you talked to mom and pop about it? Some parents can never see their little pookie bear as anything but a 12 yr old little girl, even when they're 30! LOL My older sister is 30 and still has issues with mom and the topic of unrighteous sex (she's unmarried). I would definitely have to say something to mom about it, the behavior just seems to be a little rude to me, like they can't give you the respect of being an adult. Tell 'em how ya feel They're holding on to ya a little too tight.

Thanks for the comments, firefighter. Yeah, being fat can kill you, and fast food, soft drinks, and buffets only contribute; I'm still a little lost though: I'm pretty sure I was wanting some hints on how to feel a little more comfortable in my own skin. With all due respect, I can get "diet" tips all day long, but that doesn't change the way I feel and look right NOW does it? Being proactive takes time and dedication, so until I'm fit and skinny, I have to deal with what I have right now

Thanks for all the input guys! I always shave IN the direction of growth; I learned that one a long time ago! Never can I get it as soft and close that way, but it's a mess if I go the opposite direction. I usually only shave once a week, and no more often than every 3 or 4 days. It doesn't matter how long I wait, still the same outcome. I've tried home waxing, and while it was terribly painful, it was much more effective and with minimal to no blemishes. I would go to a professional to get waxed, but I'm terrified, one that it will hurt, and 2, the fact that someone I don't know will be poking around in my nether regions lol.! I will DEFINITELY try the hair conditioner thing, I never even thought of that! Anyone recommend a good razor to use "down there"? I've usually just stick a new blade in my hubby's Gilette Fusion (which has like, 5 blades) I thought maybe that was the problem, since it is made for men's really course facial hair. But it doesn't matter what razor I try, it's the same problem. By the way Iha, my hubby let me wax him down there once; screamed like a girl and said NEVER AGAIN lol. I know of some nail salons that do full-body waxing, but I don't really know what to look for as far as TRUSTING a place goes. Anyway, feel free to add some more if ya like You guys have been very helpful, as usual!

Hey gals (and maybe guys too) I know this is probably a strange topic to post on TT but hey, it's worth a shot! I've been shaving "down there" for about 5 years now, and no matter what I try, I still end up with unsightly razor bumbs and extremely painful in-grown hairs (and sometimes in-grown "clusters"). I have extremely sensitive skin, and I've tried all the fancy tips; i.e. shaving with baby powder, exfoliating, post-shave witch hazel...EVERYTHING. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips for a soft smooth shave without the in-grown hairs showing up a week later with regrowth. I'm extremely self-conscious about it; it's so, well, un-pretty! Not to mention extremely painful. I'm dying to have soft, pretty skin down there, and I think it would boost my confidence a great deal. I know I could just let it grow, but I've shaved for so long I could never go back to being completely furry again! LOL I don't understand it, my husband can shave his "stuff" without a single blemish! Any ideas? This is driving me nuts! Please add anything you like; your experiences with waxing, shaving, depilitory creams, and even electrolosis (as even this is something I've thought of doing). I'll try anything at this point. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure who the question was directed to, Sterculius, but I was looking for lube not so much for oral, but something that would provide a more pleasant taste when going from sex to oral and back again. Plain lubes just give a plasticky taste usually; just looking for a little something different! Thanks for all of the replies!

OH...OH MY. I just, ahem...cough...don't know what to say. Positively speechless. Fantasy material! <<<SIGHS>>>> Flawless.

Hi there! I saw your post and figured I'd add my two sense in here, maybe you will find something helpful. If not, that's okay too and I wish you the best of luck. My hubby and I have always been, well..umm..adverturous, and found ourselves in a similar situation not terribly long ago. My best advice is to be as bold as you can; he married you for a reason, he loves you and you're sexy as hell to him, so don't worry about rejection! I think if you ask any man, the sexiest thing about a woman is their confidence. I'm avid about communication, my husband and I talk about EVERYTHING (even the stuff girls don't usually talk about). However, we're not so keen on romance either. If romance is what you're seeking, TELL HIM. What is the worst that will happen? He'll say "no"? I don't think so! From what you've said about your relationship, he sounds like a very caring and open-minded man, which means he is going to take anything you say to heart. He wants to make you happy, that I'm sure of! Sex should be fun....dress up in something sexy and suprise him with a massage...lingerie is a great way to feel sexy, which will alleviate the shyness Another thought: Take yourself outside your comfort zone a little bit and try something a little different than what you're used to. Everyone defines "kinky" differently, so I don't mean go crazy with the whips and chains (unless you REALLY want to!)..but maybe one quiet night when you're hanging out on the sofa together, lie back and start playing around solo with some suggestive glances his direction, let him enjoy the view for a while. If he's like most men, he'll be chomping at the bits in no time! Make sure he KNOWS you WANT him! Guys are very logical beings, they usually want you to spell things out for them (as I'm sure you already know)...and since you have no children, the possibilities are endless I'm sure you will get LOTS of input here, and I hope you find something I've said here useful or maybe encouraging. Strut your sexy stuff!

By the way, don't you just love a man in uniform? MMMHMMMM!! Yes mayum! LOL

I understand (I think) lol...That's really a good thing that you knew that you could only be friends. So many people misinterpret feelings of love with feelings of lust (cliche, but true) and worse, some young ladies I've met before have kept the sexual relationship going while promising the man she's committed, when she is just too scared to be alone or take care of herself. By the way, I think this is TERRIBLE, but it happens. I'm glad you were able to come out of that situation a brighter and stronger woman; ladylove makes an excellent point sometimes you just aren't ready for what you want, or even what you know you may eventually need.

Yay, that just rocks that I can get my stuff and take advantage of the sale! LadyLove that glass triple pleaser thing looks like a lot of FUN!!! THey really got creative with that one! LOL Watch out, you may never leave the house again

Thanks Lil Lib!!
