Saaaaaaammmeee

It works you just have to launch outlook 3 times for it to take.

Bus or bike distance.

But i also walk closer to 3mph so maybe it would be on the edge of the weather is nice.

Yeah anxiety sucks ass. Speaking from personal and recent experience my suggestion is ACT (or CBT) therapy if that’s an option for you.

Dan and Jordan are so soothing.

The taboo is starring/oggling or catcalling a stranger. If you look people in the eyes/face and don’t linger then no one is going to care except people who would have been a bother in any case.

Seems you have a plan. Good luck!

Ooh that doesn’t sound nice, you shouldn’t be hurting yourself.

I’m suggesting you learn [train yourself] to be in the presence of women comfortably without even having to worry about getting an erection. It makes it a lot easier to get to know women.

But if you want a men’s only gym there’s plenty of hole-in-the-wall places called “Iron Pounders” or something like that. At-home weights are also widely available.

🤣

Just like any other emotion arousal is a response to a thought. It’s a wave of experience that’s washing over you. That part you can control but it’s less important here. The important part is the thought triggering the arousal. When you are in a situation where you think you can experience sexual outcomes (even if just fantasy) you’re likely to trigger your arousal response and pop a boner. These thoughts can also be tied to set and setting. You probably trained yourself not to have erections around family or in places with social stigma around it like most public places. So you have to recognize that you’re having a thought of sexualization, then you can reframe the setting as an inappropriate one for sexual arousal.

In the moment you can respond with deep breathing meditation if that helps. Focus on your breathing and think about the thought and (paradoxically) feel the feelings the thought brings. You’re doing two things. 1. You’re changing your learned response by doing something other than sexualizing a random stranger or sand (which ironically, being silica, is technically rock hard). 2. You’re learning how to recognize the thought, emotion and mechanics of it’s development to better manipulate it.

It’s not like it’s quick and easy, it can take a while and some effort, but not being a pest nor feeling guilty about contributing to women’s daily difficulty is imo worth it. Not only does this make you a better more approachable person in public but learning about your own arousal can make you last longer (if that’s an issue) and have better, more intense and rewarding sex/pleasure. Win win imo!

Kilt suggestions?

You can learn self-control.

I remember growing up that everyone knew what Marxism is and had a thoroughly developed class consciousness. Everyone was capable of developing a critique of capital. He might be onto something. It explains why America has such strong labor, free universal healthcare, and no bourgeoisie.

MAGA isn’t strictly excluded.

Please don’t insult the unhoused by comparing them to this shithead.

So it’s in the debate/statements phase but not yet voted on.

Cheers!

With the motion now adopted, the Dutch government must formally respond and decide whether to implement the request.

Is this a formality or is the adoption more of a “pwease listen to mwee” type of action?

Cops find the stupidest ways to misattribute the mundane as criminal.

Full depth pockets are for men and terrorists ig

This thread feels like i just sat down for some coffee and a cigarette at a corner cafe on a cool April morning in Paris, 1871…
