Female ureatha insertions

What’s with the demographics?

2024.05.21 17:35 Strawbybabie What’s with the demographics?

For the amount of male bots and female creators, why is the population of bots for women and men still kind of competitive? I see gay and bisexual men(at least on my bots) asking for a male version even though I’m comfortable with making female-orientated bots(the majority hopefully). I’m bisexual and the amount of sapphic bots to male-orientated bots(gay or straight) is still higher for some reason. I say this because before VenusAI(old name) was male-dominated and usually went in the order male, then female, then neutral(sometimes neutral before female when an RPG wasn’t as focused on men, but not catered to women either), then gay male-orientated to lesbian-orientated. If you visited the site back then, it would be filled with horny men and their waifus(lesbian bots for them too). But now it’s in this order female-orientated, neutral, gay male-orientated(sometimes before neutral because it doesn’t focus completely on women and might appeal more to gay men), then straight male-orientated, then lesbian. What gives? Many male bots I interact with don’t try catering to a straight male fantasy, yet aren’t told from a female pov at all. Many bots are for everyone, to put it simply , but slightly above something for everyone is something for women(or with them in mind). Kind of hard for me to find exciting female-orientated bots because even when I don’t include/try excluding ‘gay’ or other for gay men tags, I still see them. I have a niche for feminine guys and stuff and reversal roles that are very hard to find for specifically women. Some aspects of it didn’t change, and the amount of futa, giantess, monster girl etc. decreased in popularity but things like femboy, submissive, ‘I’m not gay, bro ‘ risen in the male-orientated section of the site. I can slightly understand why more straight women use it, but why the number of sapphic(for women) bots decreased? Like, I have to dig through those on both male-orientated and apparently female-orientated spaces. I guess I should consider some women self-insert themselves as gay men now…

2024.05.21 14:10 hichemce SD1970 with multiple prices in Steeldive's official store on Aliexpress, are there any differences between them?

I was checking the store looking to buy the SD1970 but I found multiple offer with prices ranging from 50 to 83 dollars. Are they all the same or are there different versions of the watch?

2024.05.21 13:17 Temple__27 [Discussion] Why is Wonder Woman disrespected so much nowadays?

Mainly mean how she gets treated by majority of average joes on social media, she is usually portrayed as a weak female superhero who would be defeated by likes of wolverine,
plus what gets peoples attention is usually her oversexualised pictures where shes 9/10 times 90 percent naked,
her villains rouges gallery is almost non existent as in popularity wise, and of course whenever someone dares to mention her upcoming game someone says in the comments "who cares about ww? GIMME A *insert superhero* GAME!!!!!!!!!!"
Could it be because of ww84? or maybe thats mainly due to a lot of people online being sexist asf? let me know, i feel like this may be either a controversial or an interesting topic to discuss!

2024.05.21 10:19 mahiiverse Im so torn between which MC to choose its actually crazy...

When I first played Genshin, selecting Lumine was easy cuz I never liked Aether's design.
When I first played Star Rail, I picked Stelle cuz I wanted to self insert, I kind of regretted not picking Caelus but Stelle is still REALLY good.
BUT WITH THIS GAME IM STILL SO CONFUSED BECAUSE I LOVE BOTH MCS SO MUCH.
I wanna pick Male rover for a change and also cuz I like his design and looks slightly better than female rover (I feel like fem rover design is pretty similar to Yangyang),
But I also want to pick female rover (HER EYELINER KURO WHY DIDNT YOU GIVE MALE ROVER THE EYELINER) and also cuz it will be easier for me to relate to the mc kind of.
Just here to rant tbh this is the first time Im so conflicted about which MC to choose, Kuro did a great job designing them!!
Mostly planning to pick Male rover this time, but who knows if I end up selecting Female rover in the end anyways....

2024.05.21 01:47 Ok-Neck772 Had Sex while on PEP

I am having so much anxiety and would like some expert help.
I (male)started PEP In November after a low risk encounter (guy was grinding his bare penis against my anus and tried to insert). Halfway through my PEP course I had unprotected sex with my then partner (female).
Upon completion of my PEP I tested negative. It’s now 5 months post PEP and I am still testing negative.
My question is- could I have given my then partner HIV when we had sex while I was on day 22 of PEP in November? I would like to add that on day 10 of me taking PEP I tested negative on an HIV RNA test.

2024.05.20 23:47 Capable-Complaint646 WHY ARE ALL THE HOTTEST GUYS FROM BLS I’M ACTUALLY SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED 😭😭

I do not enjoy reading BLs! I’m a straight woman and I prefer a woman to be one of the characters (I could read GL for that but I prefer straight) but most of all why are the hottest guys from BL?! Like seriously.
Please don’t think I’m homophobic. It’s just I need female representation or interaction, because I tend to self insert.
I am NOT a fujoshi. I do not like BL or yaoi.

2024.05.20 21:44 RPerene Kagaku Sentai Dynaman Review

This was the 13th Sentai that I finished, though it was actually like the 4th that I started, intended as a slow watch with a friend. Said friend remembered the old Night Flight parody dub of Dynaman that predates Power Rangers by 6 years and wanted this to be their first Sentai experience. This is the well regarded, explosion filled, Sentai. Technically my first of the Showa Era, I was excited to see how I would respond to it. Spoilers to follow, and I always I would love to hear your thoughts below.

Overview:

It may be risky to admit, but of all the Super Sentai that I have finished, Dynaman is my least favorite. I don’t hate it by any means. In fact, I have a pretty strict philosophy of “no bad Toku.” This one was rough for me to get into, especially in the beginning and it actually worried me about what to expect from the rest of Showa’s offerings. It turned out to just be Dynaman as I have not had problems getting through any of the first six shows. I had a hard time being invested in anything (with one hilarious exception) and found myself wishing I was done already in about half of my viewing evenings. There are a lot of fun Sentai tropes and ridiculous Tokusatsu situations. Night Flight was very careful with the episodes that they chose to adapt, but they definitely picked some bangers.
It was always going to be hard for me to find the explosions anything but underwhelming after already experiencing years of Burce Kalish. What surprised me though impressive amount of wire work that they had on this one. There certainly is as much or as high of bouncing in the earlier Showa or the 90s stuff that I have been watching. They also experimented with some fun split screen shots during the fight scenes for a little while. I am curious to see when the colored explosions become more commonplace because they aren’t really a thing in the 90s Sentai and it certainly made a Kalish-level appearance in the Kyurouger episodes of King-Ohger.
The original concept for the seventh series was Yakyuu Sentai V-Leaguer, a baseball themed show. For whatever reason they decided that science would make a better theme, yet they kept much the baseball coded elements of the suits. It wasn’t even a laziness thing. They clearly went through the process of developing entirely new suits to replace the V-Leaguer ones, and still kept the baseball. The intro music even has the sound of baseballs hitting metal and wooden bats throughout. It is worth noting that these are the first suits in the franchise to be made of spandex.

Heroes:

Hokuto Dan (DynaRed)
- Early on, the show kept mentioning a dirt bike racing championship. Modern sensibilities read this as foreshadowing, but I was still pleasantly surprised when we actually got to witness said championship.
Ryuu Hoshikawa (DynaBlack)
- I started this one before Goggle V and hadn’t looked anything up yet. Imagine my surprise in the first episode when Junichi Haruta suddenly unleashed a series of backflips, face clearly seen and without cuts. He once again is the badass of the team, but also a ninja. Despite that he doesn’t stand out as strongly here as he did in Goggle V.
- He has an episode where the only person who knows where the enemies are is a little deaf girl. It was rather touching as the two struggle to communicate before figuring it out.
Yousuke Shima (DynaBlue)
- Kouji Tokita, much like Junichi Haruta does his own stunts and suit acting. It makes for some fun sequences having two on the team in that capacity. Tokita has an amazing scene fighting on the roof of a moving truck that stands out as one of the best in all of early Toku.
- I absolutely adore his stupid little shark sled.
Kousaku Nangou (DynaYellow)
- The writers hate DynaYellow. There was a series of good, ridiculous focus episodes (9-13) and the only thing to stand out about Yellow’s was that he sucks at having a dog. You can barely tell it was supposed to be about him without the other four episodes around it. His most prominent contribution in the episode was to get merc’ed by a trilobite 30 seconds into the episode and spend most of it as a McGuffin.
- Yuu Tokita, the actor for DynaYellow, is married to DynaPink’s actress in real life.
Rei Tachibana (DynaPink)
- She almost married a frog. I understand why Night Flight skipped over a lot of other episodes to dub that one.
- Sayoko Hagiwara, the actress for DynaPink, married, divorced, and then remarried DynaYellow’s actor in real life. Interestingly it is the actor for DynaBlack that she appears with nearly every time she comes back for a guest spot.
Yumeno
- The Dynamen’s home base is a science research lab for children, complete with quirky robot, older science mentor, and army of children to populate it with. I wish they would have leaned harder into this as it is a whole aesthetic that could have been fun. It gives me Mr. Wizard vibes or some other such educational program that would have aired on PBS back in the day. I know nothing about Japanese television at the time, but I wonder if they had similar programing that this was trying to emulate the vibe of. It is fun to imagine that Yumeno and the kids are actually on their own show for teaching kids science with all of the Dynamen as occasional adult guests. Either the budget got too tight or the writers realized they weren’t handling it right, but around the three-quarter mark the children are all let go from the show. In universe, the base is compromised and they have to close the lab, but I have seen enough of these to start catching where they start stretching budget to hit that 50 episode mark.
- I did not expect Yumeno to make it out of this show alive. So many signs were pointing to him making a big sacrifice in rescuing the Dynamen from the Death cave of Death and Imprisonment so I was surprised when he survived.
- This guy either needs to be off the drugs, or on them, because he makes some wildly insane decisions after episodes of chill demeanor. In particular, there is an episode where the Dyanmen need to come up with a new attack, because the monsters have grown too strong for the old one. In order to help the team, Yumeno decides to push them by running them ragged in training, and attack them with a fucking sword. And he’s good at it too. He kicks the whole team’s ass and it makes me wonder why he isn’t out there fighting the bad guys.

Villains:

General Kor’s battle armor looks like a rhinoceros. I wish I had more to say about him because he has a cool design and serves as a strong villain throughout.
Megido
- Megido is the prince of the Evolution Empire, his five tales only trumped by the Emperor’s 9, and 7 each for General Kor and the later added Zenobia. But then DynaRed cuts off one of his tails and they enter into a short rivalry that the show quickly forgets about. Megido himself has reason to forget about it as he is eventually disgraced and starts playing all sides against each other in a furious bid for revenge. The actor is younger than most Sentai villains up until this point and has much of his face unobscured. Supposedly the creatives in charge were going for a young, hot, Char Aznable vibe. I can see it.
Chimera
- Chimera is a female general introduced halfway through the series as an extra complication for the Dynamen and as a foil for Megido. She is a four-tailed person and therefore the same in rank as Megido (post-episode 1). She is also his cousin, which the show makes sure we are absolutely aware of. Chimera and Megido totally want to fuck and it is hilarious how much they pretend to hate each other. I said it as a joke in her first appearance, but then they inserted a scene in the ending of them looking at each other, then quickly looking away that really only has one interpretation.
- There is an episode late in the show where DynaBlack comes upon a naked Chimera swimming in a pond. He does what any sensible pervert would do in that situation and steals her clothes. They play a prank on Yumeno by putting the clothing/armor on Rei and having her sneak up on him in the secret base. What follows is the pure righteous fury of a besheated Chimera who enacts some of the best revenge I have seen depicted. I showed this episode to a group of progressive Gen Z friends and the shouts that arose during the episode made the whole thing that much better. That group of friends now hates the Dynamen on principal. What the Dynamen do is pretty fucked up, and that particular viewing makes it unironically my favorite episode because of it. The experience was a beautiful encapsulation of how much the world has changed between 1983 and 2024.

Gripes:

Dynaman has egregious use of stock footage—more than I am accustomed to. It is possible that this one is my fault. I may have been paying more attention here than in other Showa Era entries. If the others are just as bad, this is the one where I noticed it regularly and became irritated.
Similar to the above, but deserving of its own entry: Every time the monsters grow, DynaRed calls out for DyJupiter. But when he does it he jumps behind the same goddamn rock in nearly every single episode. I don’t mind the reused DyJupiter footage. I don’t mind the monster growing against the exact same background. But I came to loathe that rock. I was excited when they fought a monster at a playground because I knew they couldn’t possibly work that rock in. They didn’t and I was happy.
The team’s Super Dynamite attack eventually became outdated and they needed something stronger. So they spent an episode working on it and eventually came up with the extra creative “New” Super Dynamite.

Favorite Bits:

DyJupiter is a wonderful ship and it has a wonderful theme song. Go Go Dyna Robo is my favorite part of the show.
Three quarters of the way through the show, they change up how the monsters are handled. Instead of an animal taken along an expedited evolutionary line, they move on to that same thing, but merged with some kind of mechanical technology. The dumbest of these (and therefore best and most effective) is Word Processor Armadillo. Who blows people up when they say the wrong letter. Can’t transform if you can’t shout Dyna(color)!
Many series will have a little something as a denouement in the finale that serves as a tribute to the cast. Dynaman’s is narrated by Yumeno and is one of the better ones.
From the moment I saw the villains’ sky ship I wanted it to square off against DyJupiter. I was not disappointed with that at all. It is sad and appropriate however that the villain ship ultimately blew up with the Villain Ship.
It was only in the final episode that I finally noticed the large roman numeral in the center of each Dynaman’s helmet.

2024.05.20 20:42 jjesscaht nothing can enter my vagina?

I’m an 18-year-old female and nothing can enter my vagina. I cannot get light tampons in. I went to a gynecologist for this and the first one said that I had a microperforate hymen but a second one was able to get a finger up to my cervix using lubricant and thinks it’s just because the tampons are pushing on my urethra because my urethra is large and further down than normal and vaginal opening is smaller than normal. I was going to follow up and not try to insert anything until then, but I ended up hooking up with someone and this was my first time trying to have sex. This guy has had sex with many women in the past and it was extremely painful when he tried to insert and it started bleeding. After that he tried to do it again but he said he had never felt something like this before and that it just wouldn’t go in. I know I’ve already been to doctors but I want to know if anyone has past experience with this or which doctor they think is correct or if there is another issue going on? The bleeding must have been from the hymen as far as I know, but this is really concerning to me and I don’t want to not be able to have sex or just not be able to insert anything in the future. I really need help for this and I can’t get into contact with a gynecologist at the moment.

2024.05.20 19:33 InThewest Vein bruising 5 weeks after surgery

I'm a 35 year old female. Relatively healthy, non smoker. Just over 5 weeks ago I had a termination for medical reasons due to a very poor outcome. This was my 3rd pregnancy loss in 13 months, and 3rd surgery (d&c a year ago, hysteroscopy in fall and this d&c)
Since then, I've had bruising near the vein my iv catheter was placed in. It went away, and then returned on the next vein over. My veins have always been very difficult to see and I've often become a pincushion for professionals trying to access veins. They didn't seem to have any issues inserting the catheter this time.
I'm also having another hysteroscopy this week as a subsequent ultrasound likely found retained products (but maybe a polyp).
Is it safe to have another catheter inserted in that hand? What could be causing the bruising? Also, can a polyp appear in 8 months? My last hysteroscopy also corrected my uterine septum and they had a proper look inside at that time.

🔗Durable Nylon Cleaning Rod for Various Guns

https://preview.redd.it/ggr0o7kzpk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e7418faad793847f648b98cae91b2af94510abd
I recently found myself needing to deep clean my rifle, and while I searched for the perfect cleaning rod, the Dewey 30C-44 caught my eye. As someone who appreciates both quality and ease of use, I was drawn in by the 4.8-star rating and the product's highlighted features.
When I first opened the package, I was excited to see the one-piece nylon coated rod and the brass jag and brush adaptor. The construction of the product seemed both sturdy and user-friendly. The ball-bearing handle was a unique touch that I hadn't experienced before, making the cleaning process much smoother than I expected.
The length of the rod, 44 inches, was ideal for my 30-06 rifle. It was perfect for ensuring that every inch of the barrel received the attention it deserved. However, I did notice that the tip of the rod was slightly loose, which required me to tighten it before each use. This didn't impact the effectiveness of the cleaning process, but it was a minor inconvenience.
One aspect of the rod that really stood out was its durability. After several cleaning sessions, I still haven't seen any signs of wear on the coating or threads. It's clear that this product is built to last, making the higher end price well worth it.
With that being said, I wish there was a shorter version of the rod available. At 44 inches, it can be a tad cumbersome for those with shorter rifles or barrels. Overall, though, the Dewey cleaning rod exceeded my expectations and has become an indispensable part of my firearm maintenance routine. It's definitely a high-quality, well-constructed product that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning solution.

🔗Flute Cleaning Rod for Effortless Maintenance

https://preview.redd.it/f4tnlm50qk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff973d5d2987b4eb81081dacfc9a4cc49d801cc0
I recently had the opportunity to use the Faxx FCR-SS Plastic Flute Cleaning Rod in my daily practice, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. This maintenance accessory is designed to effortlessly clean the inside of the flute, ensuring optimal performance and a pure, smooth sound.
One of the standout features of this cleaning rod is its 14.3'' length, providing ample reach without causing any hassle. The slotted head is another excellent touch, as it allows for a precise swab placement, making the cleaning process a breeze. Additionally, the 17mm reference mark adds an extra layer of accuracy during the cleaning process.
However, as with any product, there are a few areas where it could use some improvement. While the color may vary, it would be great if there was a more consistent shade to allow users to match the rod with their flute. And, while the product itself does the job, the seemingly high price may deter some potential buyers from giving it a try.
Overall, the Faxx FCR-SS Plastic Flute Cleaning Rod has proven to be a valuable addition to my flute care routine, and I highly recommend it to fellow flutists seeking a reliable and efficient cleaning solution.

🔗Stainless Steel Cleaning Rod for Firearms: Rugged and Precise

https://preview.redd.it/z8u5q8c0qk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbf4fbc2f467930851f36eb6acaa2b82a3a0c36b
As a fellow firearm enthusiast, I've found the Montana X-Treme cleaning rod to be an invaluable addition to my arsenal. The one-piece construction, coated in durable stainless steel, ensures that the rod can withstand even the toughest fouling without bending. Its proprietary, non-embedding coating repels dirt and grit, keeping my valuable firearm's bore protected.
The machined aluminum handle is both slim and comfortable, allowing for excellent control while cleaning. The bearings at each end of the handle ensure smooth rotation, keeping the brush or jag fully in contact with the rifling. Additionally, the color-coded handles make it easy to identify the correct caliber rod for your firearm.
However, I must also mention that these rods come with female threads, so make sure to use a threaded cleaning jag compatible with your firearm. Overall, the Montana X-Treme cleaning rod is a reliable and efficient tool for keeping your firearms clean and well-maintained.

🔗Premium Stainless Steel Flute Cleaning Rod

https://preview.redd.it/ltix31s0qk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02fa6e44b1ad8cb28ed0af38878a945632cbaad8
As a musician, I've been using the Ameriplate Flute Cleaning Rod for quite some time now. It's a sturdy little rod made with steel and nickel plating that's become an industry standard. One of the things I love about it is how easily it fits in my flute case, allowing me to travel with it comfortably. Its slim design also means it doesn't take up much space in my instrument's case.
This metal cleaning rod has worked wonders for me when it comes to removing moisture from the inside of my flute. It's so easy to use and paired with most cleaning swabs, I find it an indispensable part of my flute maintenance routine. However, I do wish it had a bit more length to reach some of the hard-to-reach areas. But overall, it's been a great addition to my flute accessories collection.

🔗6 Foot Chimney Cleaning Brush Extension Rod Pole Set

https://preview.redd.it/b2ysob71qk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=459964b9387b77e2a326d75f4ff35bcb7a2c52ca
I recently purchased the Imperial Lot of 5 6-foot chimney cleaning brush rod poles, and I have to say, they've made my chimney cleaning experience so much easier. The adjustable rods come in handy as I can extend the brush to reach even the most challenging corners of the chimney.
What I love about these rods is their flexibility - they easily bend without breaking, allowing me to clean every nook and cranny with ease. The total length of 30 feet is also a major plus, as I can cover the entire chimney without making multiple trips.
However, I do wish the rods came with a case to keep everything organized and safe during storage. Also, it would be great if the rods were a bit sturdier, as I've noticed some wear and tear after a few uses. Nonetheless, these brushes make the cleaning process a breeze, and I'm happy with the overall performance.

Buyer's Guide

Choosing the right cleaning rod is essential to ensure an efficient and effective cleaning experience. Here are some important features, considerations, and general advice to help you make the best decision.

https://preview.redd.it/o1zijkh1qk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0dfbafb742691d60e7d5441eee71ce8719cfd0a

Important Features

Material: Cleaning rods are typically made of stainless steel, brass, or nylon. Stainless steel is durable and rust-resistant, while brass is more luxurious and provides a slightly softer touch. Nylon rods are more budget-friendly and gentle on delicate surfaces.
Length and Flexibility: The length of the cleaning rod should match the length of your couch or furniture. Additionally, a flexible rod allows for better maneuverability and can reach more tight spaces.
Ergonomics: Look for a cleaning rod with a comfortable handle that fits well in your hand. A well-designed handle can help prevent strain and fatigue during extended cleaning sessions.
Brush Attachment: Some cleaning rods come with brush attachments that can help with stubborn stains or pet hair. Consider whether you need this feature and if there's a way to easily attach and remove it.

Considerations

Surface Type: Different materials require different cleaning methods. For example, delicate fabrics may require a softer brush or nylon rod, while upholstered furniture may benefit from a more abrasive cleaning tool.
Size and Shape of Furniture: Consider the size and shape of your furniture when choosing a cleaning rod. Smaller furniture may only require a shorter, more flexible rod, while larger items may need a longer, sturdier rod to ensure thorough cleaning.
Storage Space: Depending on the length of the cleaning rod, it may require more storage space. If storage is a concern, look for a collapsible or retractable rod.

General Advice

Always read the manufacturer's instructions and warnings before using a cleaning rod. This will help you avoid damage to your furniture and an ineffective cleaning experience.
Test the cleaning rod on a small, inconspicuous area of your furniture before using it on the entire surface. This will help you ensure the rod won't damage or discolor your furniture.
Maintain your cleaning rod by rinsing it thoroughly after each use and storing it in a dry place to prevent rust or mold growth.

What is a cleaning rod?

A cleaning rod is a tool used for cleaning firearms, specifically rifles and shotguns. It consists of a long, rigid rod with a handle on one end and a cleaning patch on the other.

What materials are cleaning rods typically made of?

Metal alloy rods are strong and durable, while brass rods are corrosion-resistant and won't damage the finish of your firearm. Plastic rods are lightweight and inexpensive, but they may not be as durable as metal or brass rods.

A sturdy handle for better grip and control
A durable rod that won't bend or break easily
A secure, comfortable handle with a cushion or rubber grip
A threaded cleaning patch for tight, secure cleaning
A lightweight design for easy use

What is the proper cleaning technique for using a cleaning rod?

Proper cleaning technique for a cleaning rod involves the following steps:

Ensure the firearm is unloaded and the barrel is cool.
Attach a suitable cleaning patch to the end of the cleaning rod.
Insert the rod into the barrel, using a proper cleaning technique that avoids scratching the barrel.
Gently push the rod through the barrel, ensuring that it clears any debris or fouling.
Remove the rod and cleaning patch, and repeat the process as necessary until the barrel is clean.

How often should I clean my firearm with a cleaning rod?

Cleaning frequency depends on the type and frequency of shooting activities, as well as environmental factors. As a general rule, it's recommended to clean your firearm after each use or at least once a month if you don't use it frequently. If you use your firearm in dusty or dirty environments, you may need to clean it more often.

Are there specific cleaning rods for different types of firearms, such as rifles and shotguns?

Yes, cleaning rods are available in various lengths and configurations to accommodate different types of firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and even some handguns. Make sure to choose a cleaning rod that is compatible with your firearm's specific caliber and barrel length.

What are some alternatives to using a cleaning rod?

While a cleaning rod is a universal tool for cleaning firearms, there are some alternative methods, such as using a bore snake or a specialized cleaning tool like the Chamber Sweeper. These alternatives may offer additional features or convenience for some users.

🔗12V/24V Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter for DC5.5x2.1mm Devices

https://preview.redd.it/b42fa2p6gk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ecdac288d78a143ddf03a94018d07f3b35bd716
My ACOPOWER DC12V/24V adapter has been a game-changer in my car. I remember one time, I was driving to a camping trip and my phone was running low on battery. With this handy little device, I was easily able to connect it to my car's cigar lighter and power up my phone. I couldn't believe how effortless it was!
The really cool thing about this adapter is that it's not finicky about what it connects to. It's compatible with a wide variety of devices, which is great for a technophile like me who has a gadget for everything. This level of versatility makes it a must-have for anyone who's always on the go.
However, there are a couple of things that I wish could be improved. The first is that it could be a little more robust. I've noticed it gets a bit warm after using it for a while, which can get a tad concerning. The other aspect that could be enhanced is its size. It's a bit bulky, so it tends to stick out of the cigarette lighter socket, making it a tad difficult to plug and unplug.
In conclusion, the ACOPOWER DC12V/24V adapter is a handy device for anyone who needs to charge their devices on the go. With its compatibility with a wide range of devices and its ease of use, it's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for such a product.

🔗CIGARETTE Lighter Socket Adapter by Powerlet

https://preview.redd.it/cq5ubf97gk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8815b66df6483ddc818383912e1f53ca6e40ff18
I have to admit, discovering the Powerlet Cigarette Insert to Socket Metal Adapter was a game-changer for me. Now, my power solutions no longer have to rely on the ever-so-tricky compatibility issues of cigarette sockets. The high-quality adapters are quite a charmer; their sturdy build and sleek design make them an excellent addition to my collection. Plus, the neoprene cap provides extra protection from dust and moisture.
While the compatibility isn't a guarantee for all types, I found the plug adaptation to be incredibly smooth, and it holds surprisingly well in place. That said, the AAC-003 is indeed the go-to solution for those instances where the metal insert fails to deliver as expected.
This compact, US-made adapter has a robust build and is easy to carry around. Its compatibility with so many devices makes it incredibly practical, and I've never felt more satisfied using it.
However, I did find that it doesn't fit in certain types of sockets, which means you'll likely need some sort of backup option if you encounter this issue. Despite that, considering its functionality and quality, this little metal insert has been a lifesaver for me.
In summary, the Powerlet Cigarette Insert to Socket Metal Adapter is an absolute must-have for those of you who want to keep your power options flexible. While there's a chance you might need the AAC-003, the overall convenience and quality of this product make it more than worth the investment.

Another highlight is its universal compatibility. It works seamlessly with my mobile phones, GPS systems, and other car chargers, extending the range of devices I can power with a single source.
However, there are a few cons to consider. The Cellet AC to DC Converter is not recommended for use with heavier power items, such as tire and bed inflators, heated blankets, vacuums, and more.

🔗12V 2A Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter for Home and Car

https://preview.redd.it/zaf01xdbgk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef303d6f4b94c8ec47a262f19b471310e7acffc9

This little device is super efficient, converting up to 4.0ft of extendable AC household current into 12V DC power.
The main advantage is its versatility. I can use my car appliances at home now, bringing a whole new level of convenience. But remember folks, this 2A 24W powerhouse won't juice up anything beyond that power threshold. I tried to give my car vacuum pump a boost, but it wasn't having it.
Another key point is the 1.2meter output line length, which allows me to reach farther and connect to more devices. It's worth mentioning though that some users had issues with this aspect, so it's a toss-up depending on your specific needs.
One last thing I can't gloss over is the quality control issue some users experienced. Some couldn't get their devices to work properly, while others had problems right out of the box. So you might want to cross your fingers when unveiling this product for the first time.

How does a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter work?

A Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter works by converting your vehicle's 12V output to the necessary voltage (often 5V, 12V, or 19V) required by your device. It does this through a plug-in connector that adapts to your device's charging port.

What devices can I charge or power with a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter?

You can charge or power various devices using a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter, including smartphones, tablets, GPS systems, portable gaming consoles, and even some laptops. Always verify the specific voltage requirements of your device to ensure compatibility.

https://preview.redd.it/ul59xxgegk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b7bc065c554842bc889e460623d3287836e45e3

Do Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters come with built-in charging ports?

Some Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters are equipped with built-in charging ports, such as USB or 12V ports. Alternatively, you can find compatible charging cables or adapters separately to connect your device to the power source.

How to choose the right Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter?

When choosing a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter, consider the following factors: voltage output (match it to your device's requirements); plug compatibility (USB, 12V, or other ports); amperage (higher amperage means faster charging); and additional features like surge protection or multiple ports.

https://preview.redd.it/78px8b3fgk1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d00eae207875d3d73b4813e1ccc22a17ffae507a

Are Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters safe to use?

Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters are generally safe when properly designed and used. Look for adapters with built-in surge protection or overload protection for added safety. Always ensure that the voltage and amperage provided by the adapter match your device's requirements.

How to install a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter?

To install a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter, first, locate the 12V cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle. Then, plug the adapter into the socket, and connect your device to the adapter using either its built-in charging port or a compatible charging cable or adapter. Always ensure that the adapter is securely plugged in to prevent potential accidents.

What is the difference between a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter and a car charger?

A Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter converts a vehicle's 12V output into a different voltage to match your device's requirements, typically through a plug-in connector. In contrast, a car charger is a separate device with one or more USB charging ports that plugs into a vehicle's 12V socket. Both types of products can be used to charge or power different electronic devices in a car.

Do Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters drAin a vehicle's battery?

Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapters typically do not drain a vehicle's battery when operated within their rated power output and not connected to a device. Once a device is connected, it draws power from the vehicle's battery through the adapter. However, using a high-power device or leaving the vehicle unattended for extended periods with the adapter plugged in can deplete the battery.

How to troubleshoot a Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter?

If your Cigarette Lighter Plug Adapter is not working, try the following troubleshooting steps: ensure both the vehicle and the device are turned on, verify that the plug is properly inserted into the socket, inspect the adapter for any visible damage or loose connections, and ensure that the adapter is compatible with your device's voltage and amperage requirements. If issues persist, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

2024.05.20 13:15 MirkWorks Excerpts from Beautiful Fighting Girls by Saito Tamaki (Chapter 6 The Emergence of the Phallic Girls) II

High Context
Expression takes many forms. In this book I have interpreted the word media in a broad sense and treated each form of expression that I have discussed as an independent medium. What, then, is the reason for the existence of multiple media like manga, anime, and film? Are these simply multiple forms for mediating the same reality? Not at all. Multiple media exist in order to support multiple fictions. We clearly perceive the form of a particular expression at the same time as we take in its content. The various media function as a kind of context, or a transparent and continuous totality that attaches meaning to content. In this instance the media themselves attain their own unique contextuality. For example, we are not in the least confused if a heroine who breaks down in tears in a television drama suddenly appears smiling in a commercial during the break. This is because it is very easy for us to shift instantaneously between the context of the drama and the commercial.
In an earlier work I referred to this idea of the unique contextuality of each medium as the “representation context,” in order to use it in a more limited sense. This is because it is possible to use the media form itself as a form of representation. As I explained in chapter 1, my use of the term context is based chiefly on a combination of the ideas of G. Bateson and E. T. Hall, which I Have also explained in greater detail elsewhere. For our purposes here, it is possible to understand the contexts contributing to expression as existing in hierarchical strata. In the case of manga, the first context level is that of the narrative that gives meaning to the characters’ actions. Above that is the genre of the narrative - the expressive context that determines whether it is to be taken seriously or as a gag. The representational context is one level above this. Or, if we order them from top down, the process by which we understand the content of a manga can be understood as a hierarchical series of stages beginning with the work’s representational context (manga), proceeding to its expressive context (genre), on to the narrative context, and finally to the comprehension of the content. Of course, in actual fact we have to admit that this sort of hierarchy is ultimately not valid. It goes without saying that content and context exist in a relationship based on simultaneous and mutual corroboration. Therefore I should emphasize that the notion of representation context serves only for convenience of description and is not in any sense an isolatable object.
It is possible, for example, to think of visual media in the order of their dependence on representational contextuality. Contextuality in this case refers to the degree to which the form of expression itself determines the context expressed. In order of descending contextuality, then, we have anime, manga, television, film, and photographs. The statement “I saw a photograph,” for example, conveys no meaning on its own. But the statement “I saw an anime” evokes a relatively concrete image in the listener’s mind. This is because the anime form restricts the range of content much more than does the photograph. In other words, anime has the highest level of contextuality and photography the lowest. Here I follow Hall in calling this the “high context” nature of anime. In general, we can say that more popular forms of expression tend to be higher context (as in the difference between classical and popular music). In visual media, the less information conveyed on the screen, the higher the context (this being the difference between television and film). Thus “cool” media (with low levels of detail) tend toward higher context.
Let us think more concretely about the high-context nature of anime and manga. We have already established that form and content are intricately connected in both. In the case of these expressive forms, we can easily makes guesses about the content and authorship even of works that we know nothing about. Even a single frame of the work will be enough to tell us the genre, the orientation of the content, and sometimes even the identity of the author. Moreover, the instantaneous switching between the “gag” and “serious” modes that would be unthinkable in film but forms part of the grammar of anime (its so-called yakusoku [conventions]) can be explained only on the basis of this high-context nature.
I think of high context as the sensibility that emerges when there is no sense of distance between the producer and the consumer of a given media form . Once we immerse ourselves in this high-context space, the meaning of all stimuli is grasped instantaneously. Inevitably, emotional codes are more easily transmitted here than verbal ones. This high-density transmissibility enables extremely high levels of concentration and absorption.
Intersubjective Mediation, or Media Theory
Based on what I have said above, we can identify the difference between film and anime or manga first in terms of contextuality.
Is this the place for us to move to a discussion of media theory? Is the desire for the beautiful fighting girls a sign of an internal transformation, an “implosion” and extension brought on by our contemporary media environment? In some senses this may be true, but in others it is certainly not.
The development of the media environment has in fact partly transformed the structure of our society. The development of the mass media industry itself is one manifestation of this transformation. Its influence on the economy and on education has, of course, been enormous. But to what extent does this transformation penetrate our inner worlds?
In clinical terms there has not been the slightest structural transformation. The structure of our neurotic subjectivity remains intact, just as Freud discovered it a century ago. If asked to prove this, most analysts would say that it is not their role to offer general proofs of anything. This, too, has not changed in a hundred years. Analysts can speak about the truth. But, or perhaps therefore, they cannot prove what is true. But, or perhaps therefore, they cannot prove what is true. To say that the structure of the subject is intact is to say that the structure of desire has been maintained. What needs to be emphasized here is that, in order for the structure of desire to be maintained, the object of desire must constantly change. If the object of our desire looks different than it did a hundred years ago, this is only a change in appearance that results from the continual maintenance that we as subjects have performed on the structure of that desire. Yes, the development of media has brought about an outward change, a superficial change in the objects of our desire.
From this we can derive at least two psychoanalytic hypotheses. If we use Lacan’s divisions, the stability of the subject denotes primarily the stability of the relationality between the Symbolic and the Real. Moreover, the internal transformation that Marshall McLuhan referred to as “implosion” can be considered mainly as having emerged as a change on the level of form in the Imaginary. Herein lies one of the thorniest difficulties of media theory. If voice and writing are themselves already forms of media, what exactly have modern media been able to add to the equation? The transformation of the subject in the Imaginary can always make it seem as if nothing has happened. As long as this is the case, the appearance of media theory will remain in the always-awaited future, and its conclusions will only continue to be deferred.
But perhaps there is something to be gained nonetheless by taking a detour here and considering the mutual operations of the media environment and the Imaginary. The development of media is clearly most striking in the visual realm. Already we are able in principle to see any sort of image whatsoever. If we so desire, we can also keep large numbers of images in our possession on a computer hard drive. There is no little significance in the fact that, as is so apparent in the case of the ever-increasing functionality of the personal computer, it has become very easy for us not just to preserve but to reproduce, manipulate, and transmit visual information about all sorts of experiences. Our imaginary has been dramatically expanded and accelerated by the media, or extended through “implosion.”
The diversification of methods of mediation has had a number of effects. One of these is the potential impoverishment of content and form. As was clear in the case of the beautiful fighting girls, the narratives in a diversified media environment are surprisingly similar to each other. As I pointed out in chapter 5, there are hundreds of examples of the beautiful fighting girl genre, but only thirteen story lines. From the 1990s on, no new story lines emerged, and new works were simply rearrangements of old ones. In this case at least, we can say that, while the diversification of media may contribute to the outward diversification of the works, we need to be aware of the possibility that it encourages the involution of the genre as a whole.
The more information is exchanged, the more redundancies there are and the more monotonous it becomes . For example, now that communication by personal computer has become the norm, people read and perhaps write enormous amounts of text every day . As a result, we see developing a common “computer style” of writing that is excellent for transmitting information but extremely limited in its capacity for description and definition. The impoverishment of visual information is most evident in the spread of anime-style images.
So what is this about? Increasing the level of detail or rendering movement more subtly in anime would take exponentially more money and time. But of course these luxuries are not always possible. On the other hand, too much abbreviation reduces the images to mere signs and makes for a very dreary representation (like the Saturday morning cartoons in the United States, where the only facial movements are blinking eyes and opening and closing mouths). The solution to the problem in Japan was, I believe, the introduction of the “big eyes and small mouth” that has become the tradition in Japanese anime.
The only parts of a manga that cannot be drawn by assistants are the face, and particularly the eyes, of the main characters. The author’s style appears in its most concentrated form in the facial expression and the eyes. The shortcut technique that resulted from this was to divide up the drawing of the background among assistants and make the characters like simple signs. This made possible the division of labor. Then, to avoid making the characters too much like mere signs, the facial expression, particularly the eyes, and the hands are drawn with great care. Among all the human organs, these occupy the position closest to the grammatical subject. Drawing the eyes and hands with special care has the same value as inserting text. Or, to put it the other way around, as long as the eyes and hands are carefully drawn, the rest can be abbreviated. Then one can add more facial expressions and make them more complex with manpu. This procedure enables the streamlining of the production process while also effectively communicating a wide variety of subtle emotional codes, making it easy for the viewer to identify emotionally. This is likely the origin of the too-large eyes and tiny mouth that Westerners so often point out in Japanese manga and anime. The anime image is the result of a sophisticated technique that enables a maximum of communication with a minimum of lines.
One noticeable trend in recent years, which may have to do mostly with keeping costs down, is that even as the images are drawn with greater and greater sophistication of design and coloration, they tend to move much less. The appearance of movement is skillfully produced by blurring the image, using flashes of lights, and bank sequences [19*. Bank sequences, or Bankukatto, are sequences of animation that can be used repeatedly, such as when a heroine is transforming or assuming a decisive pose.], but on closer inspection there is actually very little movement. The impact of “anime images” results from drawings so refined that this sort of thing no longer appears unnatural. Moreover, because there is no need for the drawings to be particularly intricate, they can be easily digitized, which makes it possible to transfer them into a computer game without altering them. This style of drawing, which is devoid of texture and consists only of fine lines and surfaces, helps smooth the flow of the so-called media mix as the images are transplanted from comics to anime to film, games, figurines, and toys.
The space of manga and anime has introduced easily shareable code systems into our Imaginary. This shareability, in turn, introduces elements of polymorphous perversion into that space. As a result, in the 1980s we first became aware of a very important fact, namely, that even the objects of our sexuality were shareable through the mediation of manga and anime. This realization led to the explosive growth of sexualized images in this space. Of course, the wholesome notion that manga and anime are basically for children exists even now. But even this constraint was converted into a useful technique. Depicting sex in a context that is for children almost inevitably produces undifferentiated, which to say polymorphously perverse, effects. <also, and a much darker scene between the protagonist Utena and the antagonist Akio in the episode The Prince Who Runs Through the Night, a friend pointed this out to me, in terms of what it’s depicting and how True it is. The disassociation and ambivalence that suffuses a traumatic event…>.
To create an autonomous object of desire within the fictional space of manga and anime: was this not the ultimate dream of the otaku? They sought to create fiction not as a stand-in for the “real” sexual object, but fiction that had no need to be secured by reality. For this to work, not even the most elaborately constructed fictional worlds would suffice. In order for fiction to attain its own autonomous reality, it would have to be desired for its own sake. Only then would reality bow down to fiction.
“Fiction” versus “Reality”
Earlier I referred rather casually to the contrast between “fiction” and “reality.” Of course, I do not accept this contrast naively. In fact, it is my belief that everyday reality is itself nothing more than a fiction (or fantasy) and that it is fundamentally impossible to draw a strict distinction between them. One reason that I raise the distinction nonetheless is in order to think once more about “Japan.” The art critic Sawaragi Noi has argued that Japan functions as what he calls a “bad place” and that any act of expression that attempts to escape from that place can only end up by making it worse and getting caught in a vicious circle. If such a place can be hypothesized, it is entirely possible that it could also subsume the place of manga and anime that I have been discussing here. For now I call that space “Japanese space” and contrast it with another unique representational space, which I call “Western space.”
As I pointed out earlier, in Japanese space the distinction between fiction and reality is not completely in effect. The distinction itself is in fact based on a Western idea . **In his theory of ideals Plato begins with a three-part distinction between the ideal, reality, and art, and places art at the bottom of the hierarchy because it is only an imitation of reality. In Plato’s system there is only a series of copies, with the copy of the ideal being reality and the copy of reality being art. Art must content itself with the lowly position of being a copy of a copy, an imitation of an imitation. Added to this is the influence of Judeo-Christian culture, which rejects idolatry. In “Western space,” even today “reality” is made to conform strictly to this ranking. In this context the notion of the “Reality of fiction” is already attenuated by being subjected to all sorts of constraints.
<"But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" Matthew 5:28.>
For example, in American popular culture the most privileged fiction form is film. To be made into a film is the ultimate proof of the success of any narrative, whether it originates as a novel or a play. Of course, there are any number of reasons for this, but one is surely the belief that live-action film is the most accurate imitation or reproduction of reality. The impact of live-action film is supported by the belief that what it portrays is a faithful reproduction of reality. In my opinion there is absolutely no difference between the fictionality of live-action film and animated ones; it is just that anime is considered more fictional because it is under the constraint of having to be drawn by someone. For this reason animated films have almost no chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Picture and will always remain a genre inferior to film.
Thinking about censorship practices makes this even clearer. Censors in Japanese space seem for the most part uninterested in the symbolic value of what they are censoring. As long as the genitals are not portrayed explicitly, they will allow even the most depraved images to be shown. In Western space, however, images are censored according to their symbolic value. The censors are not interested in the trivial question of whether or not the genitals are visible, but reserve their strictest scrutiny for obscenity and perverse content. A recent example is the cover for Marilyn Manson’s CD Mechanical Animals. In the composite photograph, Manson appears nude as he glares at the viewer, but with the smooth groin and small breasts of a young girl. This level of perversion does not cause the least problem in Japan. But in the United States it create quite a scandal, with several large music stores refusing the carry the album. One could list any number of similar examples of this difference in the way Japanese and Americans judge an image obscene. Of course, even in Japan this sort of taboo on images still lingers when it comes to the Imperial family, but even that is losing the force it once had. In fact, that taboo has become so weak that it would shock even Okuzaki Kenzo. We are now living in an age when it is possible to publish a manga depicting a bomb thrown at Princess Masako during a parade, and the romance between Princess Kiko and Prince Akishino has been made into an anime. In other words, we still do not have the slightest idea what it is that defines depravity.
One conclusion that we can draw from this comparison is that visual expression in Western space is symbolically castrated, while Japanese space there is only imaginary castration, at most. For example, in Western space any image that symbolizes the penis is censored, while in Japanese space as long as you do not portray the penis itself anything goes. In this ironic sense I would suggest that Japanese media enjoy the great freedom of expression. The problem arises with this freedom itself.
In Japanese space, fiction itself is recognized as having its own autonomous reality. As I mentioned earlier, in Western space reality is always in the superior position, and the fictional space is not allowed to encroach on it. Various prohibitions are introduced to establish and maintain this superiority. It is not permitted for example, to produce images depicting sexual perversion. This is because fiction must not be more real (riaru) than reality. Fiction must be carefully castrated so that it does not become too appealing. This is what I mean by symbolic castration.
It is often remarked that the heroines of Western comics and anime are for the most part not very cute. They often include beautiful women and naked bodies, but rarely do they directly represent characters as sexually attractive. This cannot be explained simply as a result of a discrepancy in technical skill or differing notions of beauty. In the case of an actual Hollywood actress, Japanese and American fans are likely to speak in similar ways about her sexual attractiveness. But the situation is very different when it comes to heroines who appear as drawn images. Betty Boop, for example, may be drawn in a sexy outfit (with a garter belt!), but she is more like a parody of a sexy actress. Her fans are not immediately captivated by Betty’s sexual charms.
To continue with our discussion of Western space, we might remember that 1957 saw the creation of the so-called Comics Code Authority that formulated self-regulatory codes for comics in the United States and effectively spelled the end of the golden age of American comics. At the time juvenile delinquency had become a hot-button issue, and comics were singled out as a contributing factor. Among comic fans the formation of the CCA is referred to as the “Total Disaster.” The list of restrictions is as absurdly detailed as the rules at a Japanese high school. A few items that stand out on the list are

“Divorce shall not be treated humorously nor represented as desirable.”
“If crime is depicted it shall be as a sordid and unpleasant activity.”
“In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished [sic] for his misdeeds.”
“Policemen, judges, government officials and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority.”

Under the category of “Marriage and Sex” the code states that “Nudity in any form is prohibited,” “Females shall be drawn realistically without exaggeration of any physical qualities,” “Illicit sex relations are neither to be hinted at nor portrayed,” “Seduction and rape shall never be shown or suggested,” and “Sex perversion or any inference to same is strictly forbidden.” Japanese manga as harmless as Sazae-san and Doraemon might run afoul of these rules. If regulations this strict were in force in Japan, virtually every manga magazine in print would have to be shut down.
It is thus quite possible to analyze the differences between Japan and the United States from the perspective of regulations. But what I want to stress here is that these rules show all the symptoms of an excessive defense reaction. No matter how popular comics had become by the 1950s, they could hardly compete with film. Nevertheless, they were much more severely regulated, to the point of destroying an entire genre of expression. Would it be too much to see in this an echo of what we might call the West’s iconographic taboo? The highly detailed and concrete restrictions on the depictions of sexuality are particularly remarkable. In these restrictions we can clearly see operating the obsessive idea that images themselves must not be sexually attractive.
Pornography must be considered as part of this discussion of the visual expression of sexuality. Pornography, needless to say, prizes images that are realistic and highly practical. In the decline of roman poruno and the rise of adult video, for example, one can see the pursuit of convenience and practicality. Pornographic images trend toward being more suitable for private consumption, reproduction and distribution gets easier, and pornographic expression gets more and more explicit. But in the Japanese space this leads to another contradiction: namely, the existence of “porno comics.” I want to stress once again that I am speaking of pornography in general here, not of “erotic expression.” It is perhaps only in Japan that pornography has taken the form of comic books and attained a certain popularity in doing so. Of course, there are porno comics that are meant to be used as masturbation aids in the West as well, but on a scale that does not even being to compare with that of Japan.
It seems absurd that such an enormous market would emerge for pornographic comics in a country where “hair nudes” are everywhere and people are somewhat bored even of adult videos. As I pointed out earlier, anime-style drawing has been hugely influential in this genre as well. In terms of their correspondence to everyday reality, there is no less realistic style of drawing. Despite this, however, these kinds of representation have been widely preferred as a medium for pornography. This would be entirely unimaginable in Europe or the United States, and the contrast points to a significant cultural difference.
Of course, there is a historical background to this as well. According to Timon Screech of the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, the so-called shunga that were produced in such huge quantities in the Edo period were used by the masses as masturbation aids.
If that is in fact the case, we should also be able to find the roots of manga and anime in the Edo period, in a culture in which sexual desire was both stimulated and satisfied by drawn images. The issue here, needless to say, has something to do with anything like the symbolic expression of eros. The problem that we have arrived at instead is that of the immediacy of the drawn image.
As I have already pointed out, there are many fans of anime and manga in the West. But they are virtually unanimous in their hatred for so-called tentacle porn. They believe that sexuality does not belong in animation. What do Japanese otaku think about this? If they were shown this sort of pornographic work they would either give a wry smile or launch into a lengthy discussion of the history of adult anime using works like Cream Lemon (Kuriimu remon) and Legend of the Overfiend (Urotsukidoji) as examples. I cannot help but see in this difference another huge contrast between Japanese and Western otaku.
Leaving aside the question of whether it is possible to read in this the traces of taboos and repression, for now let us reiterate the minimal facts of which we can be certain. In the Western space of popular culture, it is exceedingly rare to find drawn iconic images of cute little girls and erotic nudes. In that space there is an unconscious censorship of drawn images, and their reality is kept within certain limits. The type of caricatures so conspicuous in Disney’s animations can even be considered as a technique of exaggeration for the purpose of repression. Constant and meticulous efforts are made in this space to prevent drawn images from attaining their own autonomous reality. In other words, drawn images are always kept in the position of being substitutes for objects that exist in reality.
In Japanese space, on the other hand, it is permissible for all sorts of sites to have their own autonomous reality (riariti). In other words, real (riaru ) fictions do not necessarily require the security of reality (genjitsu). There is absolutely no need in this space for fiction to imitate reality. Fiction is able to clear a space around itself for its own reality (riariti ku kan). The appeal of drawn images of little girls, for example, is a crucial element in the production of this reality (riariti). Here, fiction must establish a logic of sexuality all its own. This is because, in Japanese space, sexuality is the most important factor upholding reality (riariti). Of course, this is not true only of anime. Why else, for example, did the artistic traditions of the past put so much emphasis on the depiction of women? Why do rakugo raconteurs spend so much time extolling the pleasures of womanizing? And why do manga instruction courses always begin with how to draw a boy-girl couple? All of these things, which are particular to Japan, suggest that in this space it is sexuality that upholds the reality of fiction (kyoko no riariti).
So let us accept the autonomy of fiction and put forward the thesis that this autonomy is a necessary precondition for the beautiful fighting girl to emerge. If this is the case, we cannot in any sense see in them the reflection of “everyday reality.” It would not be permissible, for example, to infer from the popularity of beautiful fighting girls that girls are being empowered in the real world. It is the stubborn habit of seeing fiction as an imitation of reality, which is hard even for the Japanese to resist, that is at the root of this misunderstanding. The misunderstanding may be logically consistent, but that same logical consistency is also precisely what renders it invalid.
Getting back to our discussion of the image in Japanese space, I repeat that representations in this space do not undergo symbolic castration. There are some gestures toward imaginary castration with regard to sexual codes, but these are barely functional, and in the end they actually come closer to initiating a drive toward the disavowal of castration. The disavowal of castration is of course the initial condition for sexual perversion, which is why this space exhibits such an affinity for perverted objects. All sorts of images come to occupy various positions within this ecosystem of autonomous reality, and the space begins to overflow with meanings rendered through sexual and other codes. In this place, so highly charged with meaning because of this sheer verbosity of codes, context is privileged over any single disarticulated code. Meaning is transmitted instantaneously here, but its provenance can never be traced back to a single code.
This sort of high-context representational space can sometimes lose some of its reality effect if it is circulated too widely and understood too easily. How might it resist this attenuation of reality? One way is, of course, through sexuality. As I have argued several times already, sex is a necessary component for a narrative to seem real. The various struggles and manipulations surrounding sexuality (i.e., “romance”) are what introduce a core of reality into a narrative.
The widespread transgression of sexual limits in Japanese representational culture can also be interpreted in light of the high-context nature of Japanese space. High-context expressive space is, by nature, incapable of making full use of the effects of structural and formal reality. Instead it is the intensities that emerge at moments of shifting and switching from one context to another that are used to create reality effects. In the highest context spaces of anime and manga, most important are those gestures capable of transcending the context of heterosexual desire. The various characteristics of the beautiful fighting girls, which include hermaphorditism, transformation (i.e., accelerated maturation), and the strange mixture of proactivity (i.e., fighting ability) and passivity (i.e., cuteness), all help facilitate the emergence of this transcendental reality. That all manner of perversions should be evoked in their presence is only natural.

2024.05.20 12:48 overyoshit Baby shower etiquette

Im looking for some advice around my baby shower that I'm planning. I wasn't sure whether to post on 'am I the ah' or not, but figured its more about advice. Sorry in advance if this is a long post, I just want to get the facts out for sound advice. I'm happy to clarify anything in comments.
So im 4 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I'm divorced for 7 years and been with my high school sweetheart for 6 years now. My 2 daughters from my previous marriage are 8 & 9, and we've been putting off having a child for a while as I wanted the girls to be around this age now where they're a bit more mature and appreciate having a younger sibling without having any resentment towards their sibling or me/stepdad (who they love and adore).
Im not a huge fan of throwing events for the sake of gifts, games etc. I like to celebrate things like bdays, showers etc because I genuinely love to plan the events and having my family and selected close friends involved with our happy moments. I was a bit sceptical on throwing a baby shower as it's my 3rd child and I'm not too phased on having one at first. My last 2 baby showers, my sisters and mum planned it all for me, my only request being no children. Being my 3rd, I decided that I'd like to have more of a get together at my home with the select few female friends/family and have some food catered so no pressure on myself/family to cater, no games and even tell everyone not to feel obligated to bring a gift as I won't be expecting any; just a nice day for us ladies to be together, have something to eat and have a nice girls day with great company.
Here is my dilemma. I have a very good friend of many years, that over involves herself. She's a lovely person but really doesn't take any hints that I drop about anything and inserts herself into every situation with unwarranted visits, opinions, absolutely everything. I have slowly started putting boundaries in place with her as it was severely messing with my mental health. I am not a confrontational person either, especially since she's been great to me for years besides the above listed. This friend (let's call her sarah) has been invited to my last 2 showers where I asked for no children, decided that she would bring her niece to both showers. She was the only one that went against my wishes by bringing a child, and I don't know if it was to prove a point or not, we weren't that close then.
Sarah has even offered to throw a shower at her house (she wants games and all the crap I dont), and genuinely just trying to take over my day that I'd like planned. I declined her offer to host and organise and she's taken it onto herself to call my sister to organise it with her. My sister told her she won't be involved in organising or hosting as she respects my boundaries of hosting etc myself.
Now, here is my dilemma. I have 11 ladies I'd like to invite (Inc sarah), they're a few of my family members, in laws and friends) along with my 2 daughters, my 2 little great nieces, and my best friends daughter who is best friends with my daughters. All the children involved are ridiculously well behaved, respectful and just genuinely incredible kids to be around. I will not tell my nieces not to come, my children will 100% be involved in this special day, and my best friends kid is practically my daughter.
My issue is Sarah's kids. She has 2 daughters and a son (older than my 2 kids, think 10+) and they're seriously off the walls, and before it's mentioned no they're not any type of additional needs children. They are just poorly parented. I'd understand and wouldn't be having issues if they were children with additional needs, as I myself have ADHD and autism so I'm very sympathetic to additional needs children).
They put a mountain of food on their plates and don't eat it, then request other things (I'm getting catering for the amount of people I'm having and don't want to be in the kitchen attending to kids that aren't mine), they are so messy and drop food into furniture and carpet, obnoxiously loud and continuously interrupting adult conversations, they annoy my 2 pomeranian pups (they will be in the large closed off lounge room on the other part of my house for the duration of the shower) and the 3 kids will let them out to come out to the hosting area. If I tell Sarah's kids "no" or direct them elsewhere, Sarah will always butt in and allow them to do what they please like it's their home (like going into bedrooms, opening cupboards, helping themselves to my kids ipads which won't be used during the event, just generally misbehaved, entitled behaviour).
I am ridiculously anxious about hosting a baby shower because of Sarah and her kids. I almost do not want to have one at all because of them, but my husband has said I'm being silly by depriving myself and our kids of the memory of having one and I shouldn't let 4 people dictate my choices. We're not planning on another child after this pregnancy, so it's not an event that'll happen for us again.
I want to tell Sarah it's a child free event. She'll either bring her children anyway (because she is how I described above and think it won't apply to her especially as her kids are older), bring them like she bought her niece to my last 2 showers or have the audacity to say something about MY children, neices and besties kid attending and not hers. I've also considered not inviting her at all (but I don't trust others to not tell her or for her to find out). I've considered having it at a different location and allowing people to pay their own way, knowing she won't afford expensive priced things for all 4 of them (this is too cruel for me to do and I'd prefer it being at home and I really don't like pay your own way although I don't mind paying my own way if I'm invited to, not everyone is financially able to, whereas I am able to pay for everyone).
So reddit, what would you do if you were in my situation knowing the details I've given? I don't even know if I'm an AH for considering all of these scenarios. It's a dang baby shower ffs, and this woman has me stressing over things so freaking silly and I HATE THAT I AM!!!!!
I can take the brutal honest opinions you may have and again I'm happy to clarify anything in the comments. I'd just really appreciate any advice on what you/your wife would do in this situation.
Thank you everyone

2024.05.20 12:28 PlentyPomegranate210 I would like to know what you would do in my situation?

I (F18) broke up with my ex (M20) maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. He was lying about his porn usage. Now then, I finally confessed to my mum (F50) that’s why we broke up. She told me a new/different perspective, that we cannot control what other people do, especially when we are apart from each other. She herself is fine with her partners watching porn, even told me that when she first got together with my dad, he showed hetook her to a ‘pig room’ (English isn’t her first language and idk what the actual word is) where they insert money and see a stripper on a pole. She also told me that he’s 20, and it would be actually be ‘weird’ if he wasn’t into women like that, to an extent, makes sense to me. She also came from the perspective that it shouldn’t matter what he does in his free time if it doesn’t affect the way he treats me. Which I guess is true. And also obviously, she doesn’t believe it’s cheating because money was NOT involved.
The biggest thing that hurt me was lying, because I’d casually ask if he was still watching other women and he’d always say no, even made a ‘grand gesture of a promise’ that he wouldn’t look at other women that way in a relationship with me. And also the fact that he doesn’t watch sex, he watches solo female porn. He told me he opens TikTok, would scroll and see a thirst trap which in turn, made him horny. And then go on OF leaks websites bc “he wants to see what she looks like naked”.
My mum said it’s natural to be jealous, but that I shouldn’t be controlling. That if I were to get back with him, I should “change my way of thinking”. “It makes sense for boys that age to be doing that, we’re not boys so we can’t fully understand them”
He’s also said that he has an addiction, in that when he’s horny, he has to cum (to porn). Although I’m not sure how much of an addiction it is since it technically didn’t disrupt any important things (like work, or his wanting to have sex with me). He also said that if we got together he’d only jerk off to pics of me, but he knows I don’t believe him on that.
TLDR; should I take back the ex that lied about looking at pornstars/models? My mum thinks that if he treats me well, I shouldn’t be concerned with what he does in his free time.

2024.05.20 09:14 modzer0 Ever take a dogman to the vet?

I should not be writing this. I know they will be looking for me as soon as this goes live. I had to get the word out despite all the secrecy surrounding the project. I don't know what they'll do to me when they find me, but this has to get out.
I was unemployed vet tech looking for work when I came across a job listing offering a strangely large amount of money. What did I have to loose? I called the number and they gave me a website to go to that took me through an application process and a security clearance form that I had to fill out the last seven years of my life. They said it would be months until the clearance would come through but to my surprise a month later I got a phone call telling me I had been granted Interm Secret clearance and the job would proceed.
I had to go to a building without any name on it downtown and they took my photo for an ID card and a packet of information about where I was to go to the next day.
The next morning I drove to the address with a mix of excitement and apprehension. What about this job required a security clearance? Why had I gotten my interm secret so quickly? I figured I'd soon find out when I pulled up to a gate with a card reader. I swiped my ID and the razor wire topped gate slid open so I could pass. Yeah nothing ominous about that. I drove a mile or so down the road and parked in the parking lot in front of a building that looked like the set of a prison movie. The windows were narrow slits and I could tell from a distance that the door was very heavy duty. Thinking back a few minutes ago wasn't the top of that razor wire fence angled in as if to keep something in rather than people out?
I got out and approached the heavy door. I spotted the card reader and used my ID on it and it flashed green and there was a loud clunking sound from the door as it unlocked. I had to put some muscle behind it to get it to open and then it shut behind me followed by another loud clunk as the locks reengaged.
I turned to see a thick armored window with a guard staring me down.
"First day huh?" he asked me as he looked at his screen.
"Yeah," I said a bit nervously.
"Sit tight, your department head will be coming to pick you up and take you to your in-brief," he said.
"What uh, what is this place?" I asked.
"All that will be answered by the briefing so have a seat and relax. You're likely in the safest spot in the facility," he said.
I looked at the inner door and noticed it was just as thick and heavy as the outer one. I was essentially sitting in an armored booth so he was technically right about it being safe.
When my boss arrived he was wearing scrubs and had his ID card clipped to the bottom of the V of the top.
"So, you're my new tech?" he asked.
"Yes, Sir," I replied.
"Good, hopefully you follow instructions better than the last one," he said. "I'm Dr. Tanner. You can call me 'Sir' or 'Doctor'."
"Sir, can you tell me what I'll be doing here?" I asked.
"All in due time. First you need to complete the safety briefing. It is not a joke. Take a look at the windows and doors if you need convincing. The government doesn't spend this kind of money unless it's very necessary, and it is. You'll understand the need for it when I introduce you to our charges. I'm not going to tell you yet because I enjoy the look on people's faces when they get their first peak of what we're doing here," he said. "Now, for the safety briefing. Follow me."
He began to open the inner door when he stopped and looked back at me. "Do you have any electronic devices on you?"
"No Sir, the security documents instructed me to leave my phone and anything with a digital memory in the car," I said.
"Excellent, you're already demonstrating that you can follow directions," he said. Was that a hint of a smile I saw?
He lead me down the hallway to a room on the left and used his card to unlock and open the door. After I walked inside what appeared to be a conference room he followed me inside and let the door shut.
I immediately noticed the back of the door wasn't the usual thing one would expect to see. It had a big lever in the middle that looked like it operated bolts to secure the door shut. I started to wonder what the hell I had gotten myself into. I expected to be working with maybe the facility's guard dogs. This kind of security was on a level I hadn't experienced before.
"Good, you're observant, another plus," the doctor said.
He walked over to the table and picked up a recorder and pressed play. A trilling alarm sound came for it and he let it play for a few seconds before cutting it off.
"If you hear that sound along with flashing red lights you are to go to the nearest safe room, such as this one and use this lever to bolt the door," He walked over and pressed a button by the windows and the thick glass became opaque.
"And you are to opaque the windows with the control in the room so nothing can see in," he said and then pointed to a door on the other wall that had 'Emergency Supplies' written on it. "There you will find food, water, and other necessities if you happen to be locked down for an extended period of time. There is also a radio already set to the control room frequency. If the phone is not working pull the tab on the back of the radio so the battery makes contact and reports in with the information posted on the back of the door. That's basically who you are, where you are, and if there are any threats you know of near you. Otherwise sit tight unless told otherwise."
"Threats?" I asked.
"Our charges are out of containment or an external threat," the doctor replied.
"What's so dangerous that we need bunker rooms like this?" I asked.
"All in due time," he replied. "Have you ever used a tranquilizer gun?"
"No," I responded.
"No matter, you'd need to qualify on the two types we use anyway with the security team," he said.
"Why do we need tranquilizer guns?" I asked.
"The animals we work with are dangerous. They're sedated before they get to us and one of our tasks is to make sure they stay sedated until they're returned to the enclosure. If one wakes up and slips a restraint you are not going to want to go near it to give an injection. That's why we have tranq guns," The doctor said.
"That makes perfect sense to me," I said. My curiosity was burning wondering what we were working with. Had to be something like large predators to require this much security. A grizzly would be a plausible reason why the doors had the extra bars. The force they could produce could snap the usual latches.
"Good because it's time for my favorite part. Showing the new guy what we work with," the doctor said and led the way deeper into the facility and up a set of stars to a room labeled 'observation deck'.
"The windows are to remain frosted by the electronic controls there whenever the room is not in use. They cannot see in but they seem to know someone is watching them and it upsets them. It's best for everyone if they are not upset," He reached over and pressed the button and the electronic frosting cleared.
That's the moment where my brain completely derailed and I questioned my own sanity.
"W-Werewolves?" I asked.
"No, at least not at this facility. These are a lesser known cryptid called Dogmen, kind of like Bigfoot."
"Wait, is Bigfoot real?" I asked.
"Yes, but not nearly as widespread as 'sightings' would make you think," he said.
"If these exist, what else is real?" I asked him.
"That's beyond your need to know," he said sternly, but then his face softened. "I'll lend you a book later that contains everything we've confirmed and studied. After all, if you continue with this job you will have the opportunity to work with them in the future, and it's best you know what you're getting into," he said. "One benefit they probably haven't gotten around to telling you yet is that they will pay for your education. You can become a full veterinarian working with the most interesting creatures that exist," he said. "Not a bad gig, huh?"
"Except for the part where I'm working with large dangerous creatures," I said.
"Large, intelligent, dangerous creatures," he replied. "And that is why we have procedures and rules. Things like always having more sedative staged to inject if a patient starts to wake up, having them restrained at all times, and if they do wake up you have the tranq guns to put them back under without risking yourself," he said and tapped the control to frost over the glass again.
Our next stop was back in the conference room where there were now a couple of binders.
"Now for the boring part. Study these because you'll have to pass a test on them later. It's those procedures I mentioned. It covers everything from handling the animals, dosages we use, and why we can't leave after dark."
"Wait, we can't leave after dark?" I asked, a bit alarmed.
"There are dogmen in the woods surrounding this facility. The fence does a decent job of keeping them out but they do get in and they're not happy we have some of their kind captive. They're fairly shy during the day and become active at night so it's for your own safety that once the sun sets you stay here. We have secure rooms just for the occasion, and scrubs are not short in supply if you need a change of clothing. We have a mess hall staffed 24/7 by some excellent cooks. People who can do this job are rare so they take care of us. Now get to reading, you'll have to pass a test before you're allowed to work. I'll come pick you up for lunch."
I did as he said and spent the next few hours reading with a break for the promised lunch that was beef stroganoff and actually really good. I went for seconds. Then it was back to memorizing policy and procedures till I was finally done and managed a passing score on the test. That was followed by some time at an indoor range getting qualified on the tranq guns.
The doctor reviewed my test and nodded. "Excellent, you're a fast learner. We've rescheduled some things for tomorrow so we'll have the extra help. You head home and get a good night's rest. I'll see you in the morning in the veterinary section, just follow the signs it's easy to find," the doctor said.
I did as he said and drove home. I couldn't help but be a good deal more vigilant as I looked at the woods on the way out. Dogmen were out there and no one in the area except us knew. There were the cryptid hunters but they didn't know for sure like I did from seeing a pack close up.
Needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of sleep that night. My mind was racing with the possibilities of what was real from all of the stories.
In the morning I made breakfast and sat for a bit having to give myself a reality check that yesterday wasn't just a dream, so I finally picked up my keys and headed out. I drove down the lonely road and passed through the gate without incident. I parked my car and made my way through the security checkpoints and began following the signs to the Veterinarian department. As the doctor had said, it wasn't difficult to find.
There were three entrances all like airlocks that were long enough for a gurney. It didn't take long to figure out the purpose. If you had dangerous animals inside you wanted at least one door containment so they couldn't get past you and into the larger facility.
I went inside through the airlock like doors one at a time and found myself in a very familiar veterinary clinic though one that was very well stocked.
It was then that I met my other coworker, I'll call him Mike, who was sitting on a stool reading a magazine.
"Hey, you must be the new guy. I'm Mike," he said and I introduced myself.
"So, your first big day. You excited, or terrified?" Mike asked.
"A bit of both," I said honestly.
"Relax, by the time they get to us they've been pumped with enough drugs to drop an elephant. We take samples and the guards take them back out. Then we run the usual tests like any other animal. It's easy money," Mike said. "We're never in any danger."
"What about all of the procedures?" I asked.
"There's what's written down on paper and then there's what is practical and works. If we followed the checklist for every dogman that's brought in here it would just take us twice as long, and twice as long that it can wake up," Mike said. "So relax, I'll show you what you really have to do to streamline things."
What was I to say? He'd obviously been doing this for a long time and if his system worked who was I to question it?
Our first patient of the day made me the most nervous. The security team wheeled in a restrained female on a gurney right into the middle of our space then they backed out. Being the new guy I did the basics by checking heart rate, breathing, and looking into the eyes to make sure she was out cold. Everything was normal based on the numbers I had memorized.
Mike watched me, corrected my stethoscope placement a little and started drawing blood as soon as I was done. The moment he was done he buzzed the guards to take her back out while he labeled the samples.
"Less time they're in here the better so label your samples and fill out the papers once they're taken out," Mike said. "No need to have a dangerous animal laying around while we fill out forms."
"What about the extra sedative we're supposed to have ready?" I asked.
"The tranq guns are right there. Much safer to back off out of reach and just shoot them with another dose," Mike said. I couldn't fault his logic.
We had four more patients that day all went as smoothly as the first and I was beginning to relax. It was our last patient of the day when things went wrong.
It started normally with the guards rolling the male into our space and I took vitals and checked the eyes.
"Hey, I have some dilation here. I don't think he's under enough. Where's the sedative?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be done before he realizes what happened," Mike said and undid one of the restraints a little so he could get to the vein. It was at that point things went horribly wrong. As soon as Mike inserted the needle the male woke up and jabbed it's hand upward catching Mike in the throat and spraying blood everywhere. I moved forward out of instinct to try and tighten the restraint when I felt a searing pain across my face and my right eye went red.
I stumbled back. Oh God had I lost my eye? I shook myself out of it long enough to badge through a door and throw the bolts before pressing the intercom button. "Creature out of containment in veterinary. I think Mike is dead. I'm hurt and need a medic!" I said before blacking out.
I don't know how long it was but when I woke up I was in a hospital room and the Veterinarian was sitting beside my bed.
"You're safe, you're in a hospital and just out of cosmetic surgery. You'll have some scars but it'll look like the result of a big cat. Your eye is fine."
"Mike?" I asked.
"Dead before any help would get to him. We have video of the whole thing including you questioning him multiple times on matters of procedure. Don't let someone senior intimidate you into not being safe. You have a month's paid leave to recuperate." he said.
So here I am. I need some advice. Should I go back to work after my leave is done or turn in my resignation? It won't take them much to figure out who I am if they find this post. I also don't know what they'll do to me if they do.

2024.05.20 04:43 carrot_boy99 Sexuality question (again)

Every time I make a post on here I'm worried that someone will get annoyed because I keep asking about this constantly but I guess I'll keep asking until that happens lol
Brief context, I'll be 20 soon, I came out as bi when I was 12 because I realized I found women's bodies very attractive.
For years now I've been very split about my sexuality because it's so weird. Normally I'd be okay with just not labeling myself, but I can't stop worrying that I may not be queer and I'm just trying to insert myself into a community I don't belong to. It's been a big fear for a while now
I've tried analyzing my sexuality from every possible angle, and I come to the same conclusion every time.
I feel attracted to people's bodies regardless of their bits or identity, but it's extremely rare that I'll see a person irl and feel attracted to them. And I don't even know if it's happened with women, I usually find girls cute but never attractive. As I said, it's really only people's bodies I feel sexually attracted to. When it comes to irl people.
I also don't have any romantic or sexual experience and I have no interest in doing anything sexual irl. I've never really had a crush before or felt particularly attracted to a specific person.
And this is all not that complicated in my opinion, but then. Ever since I was very little I've felt very strongly attracted to fictional male characters. Ugh it feels so embarrassing to say that but it's relevant. I'd kind of brush it off if my attraction to them wasn't this strong. And I never feel this way about female characters (there's been exceptions but there's exceptions with everything so...)
Romantic and sexual attraction have always been two very separate things for me and I've tried to picture myself in both romantic and sexual relationships with men and women, but usually it either makes me uncomfortable or doesn't make me feel anything. I still like fantasizing about having a girlfriend tho, which is another confusing thing. I think I might be romanticizing the girlfriend experience, but I really don't know anymore
Any advice is much appreciated! I mainly want to know if my sexuality is valid and if it's okay for me to identify as queer :(

2024.05.20 03:33 SkiesIsh My Crazy, Stupid, Women’s WarGames Pitch (Updated)

I know this is pretty early, but screw it. The WarGames match for the women will likely be on Raw because 1. There is no obvious feud for the women on SmackDown and 2. The Bloodline story will likely lead into WarGames for that brand anyway.
Damage CTRL is on Raw, and if there is a WarGames match this year, of course they would be involved. They’re the only female faction, and they’ve had main-event level feuds with basically all of the top names. But they’ve also confronted Rhea recently, with her and Iyo specifically staring each other down leading into Mania.
Now, they’re stepping to Becky and have teased problems with Liv as well. Lyra Valkyria is also tied into this, having eliminated Dakota in the first round of QOTR, and coming to Becky’s aid for two weeks straight.
When Rhea comes back, it’s only natural that she’s gonna eventually cross paths with Damage CTRL. I think they have potential to include all of these women in a big story heading into Survivor Series.
My theory is that Damage CTRL will be the dastardly heels that they are throughout this year, but they’re gonna continue targeting Becky and Lyra. This makes a common enemy for Liv and Damage CTRL. In the most recent episode of Raw, Liv attacked Becky after Damage CTRL attacked her, and it got me thinking that it could be possible for Liv to become friendly with them all, although I don’t see her fully joining them. It almost looked like Damage CTRL was nodding Liv on after the attack. So they can be buddy-buddy for a while, making Becky’s life hell. Lyra can also have little scuffles with Liv because she’s loyal to Becky.
However, I’m a little unsure about when to give the title to Liv. It could happen in Saudi, but I don’t really know if that’s the right crowd. Plus, I have a weird feeling that she won’t get the title until SummerSlam. How this could work is Liv loses in some kind of screwy way in Saudi that takes her out of the title picture briefly, while Becky can defend against people like Lyra, and maybe Dakota gets a crack. But Iyo is likely to win QOTR, so this could lead into a match for the title at SummerSlam. But Liv gets under Becky’s skin in the weeks leading up to the show. So, Becky is compelled to add Liv to the match and it becomes a Triple Threat. Damage CTRL is understandably pissed off. But Liv assures them that Iyo will get the first crack if she wins.
Liv wins the match by capitalizing at the last second. But it’s fine enough, because Iyo still has that guaranteed title match.
Enter: Rhea Ripley.
This goes pretty much like you’d expect. She wins that title back ASAP, likely in Berlin. How this match could work is in the match, Rhea hits a Riptide, and Liv kicks out. Liv can hit an Oblivion, but Rhea kicks out. Toward the end of the match, Rhea hits a second Riptide, but does so sloppily because she’s fatigued from the match and her injured shoulder starts to hurt. Rhea fails to make the cover, and Liv rolls over to the ropes and uses them to pull herself up. Rhea looks over, her face a mix of annoyance, confusion, and pity (like Thanos to Cap in Infinity War). She walks over to Liv, grabs her face and starts insulting her. “Stay down.” “You’re dead to me.” “This is my division.” Liv can slap her, spit at her, flip her off, or something else that conveys defiance. I had Omega vs Ospreay and Michaels vs Taker on the brain when I came up with this. Similarly, Rhea can headbutt Liv (who will sell it like death) and hit a third and final Riptide for the win. So Rhea retains, but Liv still shows an undeniable, never-say-die spirit. On the following Raw, Rhea can cut a celebratory promo that also gives Liv her flowers to some extent. This promo also makes it clear that Rhea is now a face.
Liv is pissed that she lost, but Damage CTRL is pissed that Iyo didn’t get the match she was owed. Around this time, Damage CTRL will have had a few run-ins with Rhea, and this heats up a bit after she wins the title because they still believe Iyo is owed a match. Liv apologizes and explains that she was blinded by getting revenge on Rhea, and simply forgot about the promise. They give her a hard time about this for a while until they turn on her on an episode of Raw. Then, Rhea comes out and makes the save. She tries to take Liv’s hand, but she refuses. Rhea’s reasoning is that she gained respect for Liv after their match. She says that being out gave her a lot of time to think, but seeing Liv for the first time in months made her go blind with rage. But their match gave her clarity again. Even though she was the better woman in Berlin, she gained respect for Liv and realized that they’re both the same.
In the following weeks, Liv makes it clear that she doesn’t want or need Rhea’s help, and that she still hates her. Rhea has betrayed her to join Judgement Day, crushed her WrestleMania dreams by eliminating her from the 2023 Royal Rumble, took six months off of her career, then takes her title away after having the gall to blame Liv for the bed that she (Rhea) has made herself. Then, she comes out and saves “poor little Liv” as if none of these issues ever happened. Liv explains that her and Rhea are not the same, and that she still hates her.
Meanwhile, Becky and Lyra try to mind their own business but keep running into issues with Kairi and Asuka. Also, Dakota starts to show interest in the Rhea’s title, even though Iyo is the one that is owed a match.
On one hand, imagine being Rhea. Imagine trying to turn over a new leaf, but your enemy wants to dwell on the past. But can you blame Liv for being angry with Rhea? Can you also blame her for being angry with the fans for turning on her?
And now because Rhea has inserted herself into Damage CTRL business, she’s a part of this overarching storyline. They’re constantly attacking her and catching her off guard. Mind you, Judgement Day is no longer around. Rhea and Dominik aren’t together anymore either. And on top of Liv not wanting anything to do with her, neither do Becky and Lyra. All three of these women have history with Rhea, and it’s not good. Rhea is trying to rally the troops but they’re not having it. So, Rhea is all alone.
There will likely be a title defense or two against Iyo and/or Dakota in the following couple of months. Unfortunately, I’m not sure what the schedule is gonna be for the PLEs later this year.
These will be successful defenses that Damage CTRL can’t let go of. So, they’re still giving all of these women trouble. And the other faces are saying that this is karma for all of the bad things that Rhea has done to others. And Rhea has to accept the fact that they’re right. But a few weeks out from Survivor Series, an episode of Raw’s main story is that Damage CTRL is hunting the faces. Throughout the show, they attack Liv, Becky and Lyra. At the end of the night, Rhea gets ambushed after a match. Then, the faces all come out and make the save.
This is a very uneasy alliance. Remember, Becky and Liv don’t like each other. Rhea and Liv don’t like each other. Rhea and Becky don’t like each other. Liv and Lyra don’t like each other. Even Rhea and Lyra don’t like each other going back to their run-ins in NXT. But the main story here is that Rhea has to confront the ghosts of her past while leading the charge through such a rocky road.
Instead of a typical rah-rah speech that the faces give before WarGames, the promo between these four women largely consists of Rhea being chewed out. But in the end, Damage CTRL is their main focus, and WarGames commence. The faces ultimately win and water is mostly thrown under the bridge among the faces. And from here, the Damage CTRL split is officially underway.
I think this idea works because like I said, there is no obvious match for the women on SmackDown. Plus, I can’t really see any other top faces on Raw being involved in this storyline outside of the ones I named. Plus, I think it would be interesting to see Rhea’s character develop as she suffers the consequences of her past. I understand that she’s popular, but I can’t get behind her returning as mega-face and getting ‘revenge’ on Liv. The promo she cut where she was playing the victim just rubbed me the wrong way, because Liv was the real victim. But I think this story is a nice way to address that, as well as her history with Becky and Lyra, while still keeping Rhea on top of the division. This also gives Rhea and Becky— two top names— a noteworthy program to be in, and it recruits Liv, who doesn’t always get big opportunities like this. It also puts Lyra on the map even more by being in such a high-profile feud in her rookie year.
Sometimes I think the characters lack depth and that’s what I’m trying to remedy. Make us feel something. These are characters at the end of the day. No different than your favorite one-hour drama.
I will admit that it’s a bit of a risk because Asuka and Rhea are both injured right now. As I said, I know this is very early. But I don’t think either of them are gonna be gone for too long. So I think that this idea could work. In my opinion, this is a rather compelling storyline, and the women’s division is in desperate need of storyline with more substance than just wanting a title. Of course The Bloodline will always and forever take priority, but there’s no excuse for there not to be other captivating stories across the board.
I’d appreciate any feedback.
Tl;dr- WarGames: Rhea, Liv, Becky, Lyra vs Damage CTRL.

2024.05.19 23:34 NNeeccttaarriinnee [F4M] Romance between an alien felinoid and a human man. [Anthro, size difference, muscular female/andromorph, role reversal, story driven, sci-fi, multi-para]

My normal posts are 2-5 paragraphs. This is long because it's a starter.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The sloping ground around the Kiaurk family mesa had been sculpted into shelves or terraces, and it was on one of those upper terraces that Kiaurk Nshurr now lounged beneath a pergola anchored to the striated stone face behind her. The mesa rose at her back: an enormous, looming, almost sheer outcrop that her family's dwellings had been carved into the face of. Wide, shallow steps cut into the artificial (but entirely convincing) sandstone wound their way up between landings and porticos leading inward, between tiny balconies shaded by bright solid-colored canopies, between rooms with flat walls and rounded corners that came jutting out to shadow the steps below. Rriigkhans rarely used glass as window barriers; smooth-edged holes had been cut through the rock in varying shapes and sizes. It could be difficult to tell which apertures were windows and which were entryways. A physical barrier that kept out the elements was obsolete in all but the crudest dwellings, though some of these larger holes were curtained with braided string or strips of cloth that served a purely decorative purpose.
From her high vantage point Nshurr could see the shelves stretching out below her as the base of the mesa leveled out to flattish terrain that was a wonderland of vegetation in muted rainbow colors: mustard yellows, clay reds, earthy browns and the occasional dash of sage or dusty blue. This scrubland lay like a blanket around everything below that was not part of the village between the mesas. Down there, adobe compounds never taller than two or three storeys seemed so squat compared to the mesas that Nshurr could see towering in the distance, many of those family mesas only a few hours walk from her own if she traveled by foot. The village sprawled, with tile parkways winding in serpentine fashion between the various buildings, courtyards, parks, and ponds. There were no property lines, no clear division of the land into neat little plots owned by the individuals who lived and worked in these places. It all seemed to be part of a whole, with a single unifying aesthetic. The village housed those rriigkhans of the lower castes, the kharratah and chelhautah, and the humans which were a caste all their own, haukagh-ar, except for a small number who lived with their masters in the caverns of the mesas or up on the plateau.
This planet, Sgarrl, terraformed over three hundred years ago, was home to more human servants than any other Ssaarian world – aside from Earth, of course, discovered eighty years ago. The fact that humans shared so much in common with rriigkhans made them the perfect species to incorporate into the rriigkhan caste structure as servants. They breathed the same mix of gases and required similar gravities, and their nimble little fingers were very useful for all sorts of work.
The rriigkhan language was not necessarily too complex for humans, but it was wholly unfamiliar – too many phonemes that did not fit comfortably in human mouths, from grunts to huffs, to rolling trills that might by voiced or not, sometimes rumbling out like a purr. To a human, Nshurr's name was a sigh and a trill, and yet she was accustomed to humans vocalizing her name in their heavy, slurring way: Na-Shuurr! Nasher! Sometimes simply: ɽ͡r! which she recognized more easily as her name, or at least part of it, and not some random sounds.
Still, despite the weird pidgin humans had made of her language and their English, she liked the little creatures. She had come to live with her Grandmother on Sgarrl only days ago, and had never encountered them before. The males only stood as tall as her collar. The females were shorter still, much like the males of her own species.
To human eyes Nshurr was felinoid, with a muscular swimmer's body and the broad muzzle of a big cat, with watchful, forward-facing predator's eyes that seemed unexpectedly expressive, because rriikghans had almost as many muscles around their eyes as humans did around their mouths to convey the nuances of emotion. Despite being larger than even many Earth men, she was considered sleek by rriigkhan standards. She made up for that with her broader crest.
The rriigkhan crest was something like the crest of Utahceratops – a keratinized plate growing up out of the skull, except divided into three lobes instead of two, with scalloped edges along the outer rim. Unlike depictions of Utahceratops, the rriigkhan crest was not covered by skin. At least, not on the top. Thick ropy veins squiggled under velvet fur on the underside, closer to the neck. (A thick, arching neck muscular enough to support the weight of that crest meant that Rriigkhans walked with a stoop that made them seem hunchbacked, to humans.) The surface of the plate on top was often rough, even bumpy or corrugated like deer antlers in some areas, smooth in others. Every female crest had four tines jutting from the front – a pair several inches above the eyes, and another pair further up. Directly above the lowest set of tines were twin holes, the howrf channels, just big enough for a human to insert a finger. These holes were very much like nostrils – much deeper, but damp inside, and lined with short, fine hairs to protect the sensitive mucous membrane from debris. The organs housed within these channels were the heart of rriigkhan culture, the foundation of all relationships, of sex.
Male rriigkhans, of course, had only their neotonous crests: diminutive, mostly smooth with rounded edges, without tines or howrf channels. Cute.
Nshurr's crest was wider than average, her upper tines spaced further apart, and combined with a compact face this made her look top-heavy. (A human might say that she was more snow leopard than lion.) Most female crests did not interfere with the movement of the ears – highly mobile, highly expressive paddle shaped things – but the edges of Nshurr's crest did jut out enough to almost shield them.
That her crest was weighty, that it was inconvenient, that she was often aware of it – this was Nshurr's pride. Her long tail curled in pleasure when she caught males looking at it. Humans seemed to be intimidated by it sometimes, as if she might decide to gore them with her “horns.” She considered herself a confident person; not a braggart, but self-assured, and to carry her jhekaah so visibly pleased her to no end.
Her fur was an almost peachy off-white, but a mask of pale peach shaded each seafoam green eye. The mask blended into the white further up her forehead until fur gave way to bone-tan crest, and was split between her eyes by the white of her nose. Oblong spots in that same peachy color, each blending from dark to light, streaked down her sides.
These weren't the natural colors of her distant ancestors. It was unheard of to see a rriigkhan who was not gene-modified in some way, even if those modded genes had been part of rriigkhan life for so long that no one thought of them as mods any longer. She also thought nothing of the subtitles her augmented reality implant displayed whenever a human spoke, AI translated to help her decipher the pidgin. AR was simply a part of her, had been since she was a kit.
Reclining as she was on a padded lounger in front of an iron brazier, full of cold ashes from last night's fire, Nshurr was dressed in a pale coral shift only a few shades darker than the peach of her fur. Medallions trailing fringes of cloth had been sewn onto the front bottom half of the knee-length garment. A row of those ornate medallions defined a plunging neckline that bared much of her chest, muscular and broad, possibly even masculine to a human. Her breasts were lower on her body and similar in appearance to a mare's udders: long nipples on a pudge of fat nestled close together on the pelvis, just above the place where her thighs joined her body. They were only small lumps beneath the shift when Nshurr stretched out her legs so that the thin fabric fell across them. It was the roundness of her hips and buttocks that marked her female to the human eye. (As if her crest didn't make that obvious!)
She was listening to the sound of two younger female cousins wrestling on a nearby terrace, and although from her vantage point Nshurr could not see them, she could imagine the scene from what she heard: Fherou and Lahk growling while they grappled with their arms, the crack of crest hitting crest and then the scrape of tine sliding against tine. Each was fighting to control the other's head, each trying to bite the other. It wasn't easy when each had a shaggy ruff to protect her neck, and any attempt to bite the other's face would be thwarted by an interposing crest. Rriigkhan hands were less dexterous than human hands, more pawlike with stubby fingers, but capable of delivering hard blows, and once or twice Nshurr heard a cousin snarl in response to a strike against her body.
The competitive pheromones her cousins exuded from their unextended howrfs, quite unconsciously, were beginning to make Nshurr's own heart beat faster. The end of her long tail, where it hung down from the reclining chair, lashed in agitation. She was beginning to imagine sinking her teeth into someone's skin herself, and if her cousins had not been so much younger and smaller than herself she might have gone down to their terrace to show them a thing or two. It was putting her off the human flute music she'd been listening to, fed directly into her own brain through her implant for her private enjoyment. (Certain aspects of human culture were very popular here on Sgarrl; she'd been curious about it.)
She did not feel like going inside to escape the pheromones; Nshurr craved the warmth of the sun on her fur, not the cool stone and artificial light of those warrens. Most of her male cousins had gone into the village for boating today. Well, perhaps she would go down and join them after all.

For this prompt I imagine you'd play a human servant, probably a new arrival to Sgarrl but maybe someone who was born there. Even though I've set up a situation where my character would have a lot of power and yours very little, I want to clarify that I'm not interested in abusing your character I am looking for a slow burn interspecies romance that develops naturally. This story may deal with power imbalances and even speciesism, but I'd like to explore those topics realistically.
I want to explore all aspects of loving relationship... Flirting, cuddling, kissing, lots of romantic scenes and character growth. My “type” that I'm most attracted to are men with average bodies in the 40-60 age range, with realistic personality flaws. I am more than willing to tailor my character's personality and physical attributes to suit your tastes, within reason. I appreciate partners willing to do the same.
I prefer to reply more than once a day. 2-3 replies per day would be ideal, but I understand life gets in the way. I usually write 2-5 paragraphs, or 150-450 words per post. This starter is much longer than my typical post length, but my lengths vary according to need. If I'm introducing a new character or setting a scene, my post might go up to 1,000 words.

2024.05.19 22:03 JetCityWoman1 High-Risk HPV, Biopsy & LEEP: One Woman's Experience in 2024

Sorry if this is a bit disjointed and long, there's a TL;DR at the end. I just had my LEEP on Thursday and wanted to share my experience. Hopefully this soothes a fellow over-thinker.
Background: 30 yr old female, 130 lbs, 5'2". No moderate, severe or chronic health conditions.
I was diagnosed with high-risk (HR) HPV with LSIL/abnormal cells in February of this year. Not 16/18, but another HR strain. I got at least one shot of the HPV vaccine before I turned 26 so I was really shocked at this. I had a complete emotional breakdown because of the connection to HPV and cervical cancer, plus I just felt....dirty. I've gone through my sexually active years without getting as much as a yeast infection, and now I had just been hit with an STI, and the one that causes cancer. I went into a pretty deep depression and honestly I'm still in that depression zone but not nearly as much. I did a ton of research and my findings told me that even if it was cancer, it's one of the most curable ones especially given my age, health, etc.
My primary doctor referred me to a gyno's office connected to the hospital I go to, and I scheduled an appointment for March 1st. Gyno (who was actually not an OBGYN but an APRN/midwife?) basically did a slightly more advanced exam/questionnaire then I got another referral to an actual OBGYN for a colposcopy and scheduled it for April 1st. I thought I would have the colpo/biopsy with the APRN during my March appointment but I guess that's just a "yeah your primary is right you need a colpo" step. Idk, very confusing.
April 1st comes, the doctor that was available for that date (I wanted to get this done asap) had some less than favorable reviews on the internet so that made me a little uneasy. Between each appointment I was spending hours researching, redditing, googling, youtubing etc. so I wouldn't go into this completely ignorant and hopefully minimize the chance of any BS being pulled.
My doctor was, to my surprise, very chill, professional and knowledgeable. Took time to answer all my questions, we even had some laughs. Please ladies, find a doctor that makes you feel comfortable if you can. No question is a silly question and no doctor or nurse should make you feel like you're stupid for raising concerns or asking a lot of questions. If you feel something is off or a doc is being an a-hole, that's your sign to GTFO and find another doctor. Pleasant staff make this experience so much better.
The colpo: wasn't that bad. They crack you open like a pistachio with a speculum (like they would use for pap smear) and take a look at your cervix with this scope. A vinegar solution is applied to highlight the abnormal cells. My doc's colpo machine did have a screen that could show me what he was seeing, although it wasn't working and honestly I'm glad. I think seeing what was going on inside of me would make me worry more. So I just had to take my doctor's word for it when he said the area of abnormal cells was small.
I had a punch biopsy done during my colpo and oh man. It hurt. I wasn't instructed to take ibuprofen beforehand. I'm not sure if they didn't think I would need a biopsy or what but holy crap. 2 samples were taken, at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock on my cervix, and I received a curettage as well. The curettage didn't hurt or was minor in comparison to the biopsy. After the biopsy, a "liquid bandage" was applied, this bandage is called Monsel's solution I believe. It's a mustard yellow paste.
The biopsy caused immediate moderate cramping and pain. The "6 o'clock" one, which was a larger sample, made me flinch and let out a little yelp. 6 o'clock hurt a lot. I will say that my doctor talked about what he was going to do before doing or as he was doing it so it's not like I was taken entirely by surprise. However, you don't realize how sensitive your cervix is until a chunk is taken from it.
After the biopsy, I felt this dull pain, nausea and cramping and apparently had excessive bleeding. Dribbles of blood were present on the procedure chair and floor, some of which had been cleaned up by the nurse/assistant prior to me sitting up so who knows how much was there. Doc confirmed this excessive bleeding in my after visit summary, but it wasn't so much so that it warranted some kind of emergency. I experienced some spotting for about 2 to 3 days after. I expected more blood in my pads but that never happened. I think seeing all this blood, knowing where it came from and why it was there made me even more nauseous.
The nausea and...weakness after the biopsy really had me messed up. I could barely focus as my doctor went into detail about what to possibly expect afterwards, what he saw (he even drew a little picture of my cervix), answered any questions I had. We said our goodbyes, I got dressed and made a mad dash to the waiting area's water cooler. I figured some cool water would calm my nerves and my stomach. I stupidly walked home after the procedure (I live in Chicago, very close to my doc's office). Nothing terrible happened but in hindsight, what if I passed out in the office, in the street? If you can ladies, have someone with you to get you home safely and for support. Or, at the very least, take an uber after.
After getting home I checked my pad, everything was good although I did have some "coffee grounds" in my pad from the Monsel's solution. The doc warned me about this and to expect it for a few days. I crashed on my couch for a little nap before going to a concert later that evening because I don't know how to take a day off.
The next month following my biopsy was largely uneventful, I did have intercourse about 2.5 weeks post-biopsy with no issues or pain, although the thought of infection and the whole process made it hard to enjoy sex (I healed up just fine so this was more unnecessary worrying). I didn't experience any pain, fever, or excessive bleeding, only some mild discomfort/cramping/lethargy (likely due to mentally stressing myself out) on day 2. I did however, experience one moment that freaked me out:
Day 3 post-biopsy: I got home from after work (my job requires me to be on my feet most of the day) and felt something in my vagina. It felt like a freshly inserted, regular sized tampon. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and reached down to feel something coming out of me. Something was crowning and breaching my labial gates. I reached back down and slowly pulled out whatever object was in me. It felt like a horror movie. I knew I had inserted nothing.
Based on the feeling of said object, I thought my cervix was falling out of my body. I started panicking a bit. Panicking intensified after pulling out this...sac.
It looked alien. It was this membrane sac, about the size of a pitted date when rolled up. Within the sac contained those "coffee grounds." I knew it was the Monsel's solution and likely I had shed the liquid bandage. That logical thought didn't stop me from freaking out and gently wrapping my alien sac Starbucks trash baby in a piece of toilet paper and further sealing this HPV caused abomination into a Ziploc bag. My plan was to run to the ER and show them the freak I had given birth to.
Problem is, I had just lost my is insurance and was in process of getting a new plan, so a costly trip to the ER, waiting for hours for them to likely tell me I'm a panicky idiot wasn't really in the cards. So what does any overly anxious patient do? Turn to Dr. Google of course! I found a couple of reddit posts from women who had experienced the same thing but there wasn't much information on what had just slithered out of me. I found one of those "pay $5 for any kind of advice: legal, medical etc! Chat with an expert today!" sites that seemed legit enough. I got in chat with a doc quickly after some AI pre-chat prompts and he confirmed my suspicions: it was the Monsel's solution that I had expelled from my body. I was told this wasn't unusual and so long as I don't have an excessive bleeding, fever, pain, blah blah, I should be fine.
And I was fine. If you experience this and don't have any accompanying complications, you should be fine too. It is weird when it happens though.
My results came back about 2 weeks later. What was initially thought to be LSIL turned out to be HSIL/CIN-III, and my OBGYN told me I needed a LEEP sooner than later. My appointment was scheduled for next month and I still didn't have insurance. These month long waits between appointments were anxiety ridden depression fests, fueled by junk food and further exacerbated by internet research. The LEEP posts on Reddit had me so concerned, I reached out to my doctor to see if I could be put under general anesthesia for my LEEP, instead of receiving local anesthesia. Women on here described LEEPs as painful and traumatic. Just awful stuff. If you're reading this you've likely read those too. They described leg shaking after the shots, crying, etc. My doctor left me a detailed voice message and responded to my concerns with: "most women tolerate it well but if you're uncomfortable we'll send you to the hospital and put you under monitored sedation/anesthesia." I was still worried but was willing to see how I felt after local anesthesia. I was pleased he was open to working with me and my comfort level.
Fast forward to Wednesday last week:
The night before my LEEP, I got maybe an hour of sleep. I couldn't turn my mind off. My heart started racing an hour before my procedure and I had weird heart palpitations/irregular heart beat. I showered to calm myself down and be clean for my appointment, took 600 mg of ibuprofen as instructed, then headed out. Got a little snack from Starbucks (croissant for before since I was walking to my doc and some madeleines for after to help offset some potential nausea). For my LEEP I wore a big comfy sweater, some "period" leggings (leggings that aren't too tight and I don't care if they get blood on them) and brought a pad with me just in case. They should provide one for you but I'd rather be prepared. Got to the office, checked in, did the pregnancy urine test, got called in quickly, went through the whole height/weight/med history routine. About 5 mins later I sat down in my OBGYN's office. He described the lab findings (CIN-III), detailed the procedure, the tools and supplies they would use, aftercare and answered any questions I had. He then led me into a procedure room (pretty sure it was the same one I had my bloody biopsy in). I got undressed from the waist down like a pap, sat in the procedure chair, draped a little paper blanket over my bare bits and waited. The doctor came in with his nurse and went to work.
They again cracked me open with a speculum, this time it was rubberized on some parts. This is so your vagina doesn't get fried from the electrical current, otherwise your pubes and vulva will look like Marv in Home Alone. They also slapped a little rubber pad on my thigh to "ground" me like I'm some kind heavy duty machinery. Colpo machine comes forward so the doc can zoom in on your cervix. He applied 2 types of solution if I recall correctly: the normal vinegar solution to highlight abnormal cells and an iodine solution to highlight normal cells. Someone can correct me if that's wrong. The solutions and their uses were the least of my concerns.
He then went in with 4 lidocaine injections to numb the area, total of about 1 ml of lido I think. He used a very small needle and upon insertion, it felt like a little pinch. Now, for those afraid of needles, it is a long ish needle but the actual poke is minimal. Although some women report that the inject was the worst part. That was not the case here but the visual can be a bit alarming. After the first injection, I didn't feel the other 3. I felt comfortable going forward with the procedure, and my doc kept checking in with me to make sure I was ok. I did feel an increase in my heart rate post-lidocaine, but it wasn't concerning. I wasn't sure if this was from the "holy shit he's about to start zapping" or as a side effect of the lidocaine. Regardless, my heart rate came back down to a reasonable level given the circumstances in a few minutes. I was actually so comfortable at this point, I managed to relax my asscheeks after they were clamped together like a vise grip from the moment my derriere hit the chair.
I'm not really sure what happened after the injections, I knew he was using the LEEP machine but I don't know how long that lasted and when the wound was being created vs. cauterized as I didn't feel anything except some mild cramping/discomfort. I didn't flinch like I did with the biopsy. When the doc was finished, he applied a little bit of Monsel's, described how much he removed, went over aftercare again, we said our thank yous and goodbyes. I got dressed and went on my way, snacking on my madeleines on my way home (I walked again lol). I felt well post-procedure and even stopped at Target to do some shopping and smell some summer collection candles. I did feel myself bleeding but when I got home and checked the pad, there was a minimal amount of blood. Some women here have reported a distinct burning smell during their LEEP, I didn't smell anything but I also have sinus issues soooo maybe I just didn't pick up on it? My appointment was at 9 a.m. and I was out by 9:32.
When I got home I had some orange juice, water then slept for about 8 to 9 hours. I did have little cry sessions here and there after my procedure. But I was also sleep deprived and know I tend to get emotional. Regardless, take some time off after a LEEP, stay home around your own germs if possible. Get some of your favorite snacks, a face mask and a Nintendo switch or something. This is a good time for some self-care and rest, girlies.
Friday, day after LEEP: no bleeding, minor cramping/discomfort.
Saturday: Usual morning pee met with some blood in the toilet paper. Nothing in my pad though. Throughout the day I slept on and off, I've been more tired than usual. My body and mind has gone through some shit so I'm not mad at myself for being sleepy. I did experience some heavier bleeding throughout the day that was mostly dark colored. The blood level was about the same if not less than what I'd experience with a period. No unusual smell. I did shed the liquid bandage. Did have some mild cramping at certain points during the day but not debilitating or worth taking ibuprofen over.
Sunday: Energy levels finally back up to something normal, don't feel as tired. Still bleeding dark red blood/brown discharge but it's minor. Ran some errands today, I figured gravity would cause me to bleed more but it's about the same as yesterday if not less.
If there's interest, I'll check in at maybe the 2 week and 4 week mark, or whenever I remember since this is my throwaway account.
Overall the LEEP was way better than the biopsy in my experience. Reddit had me freaking out. I know I'm lucky, and this post isn't to dismiss any terrible or painful experience other women have had. I want to share my 'positive' experience, since most of my mental state surrounding my diagnosis, fears, the upgrade from LSIL to HSIL, has been negative.
Oh and I did get insurance literally a week before my LEEP, thank God.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask them below!
TL;DR: -Colpo: easy -Biopsy: sucks. Most pain I've ever felt and felt nauseous/uneasy after. Ask your doctor if you can take ibuprofen prior to a biopsy. Monsel's solution/liquid bandaid came out in sac-like alien baby about 36 to 48 hours later. Was able to have intercourse 2-2.5 weeks post-biopsy. No insertion of anything for about 3 days after. -LEEP: easy-ish? 600 mg ibuprofen 1 hour before procedure. Anxiety inducing but once I was numbed with local anesthesia, I felt nothing except some mild cramping. The injection didn't hurt and caused no serious side effects. No smell. No excessive bleeding. Felt fine post-LEEP but did experience some bleeding. It's been less than a week so I'll update if anything spooky happens, if no updates then expect everything went fine. No intercourse/tampons/etc for 3 to 6 weeks.
Tips: -Prioritize self care throughout this experience especially. It'll help you stay calm and heal. -Dress comfy for procedures -Take some snacks and water to your appointments for post-procedure ick -Do your research. Knowledge is power even if it makes you uncomfortable. Youtube was a great resource for me, I like to see what's going to happen before it does. Just try not to get worked up like I did. -Ask questions. If a doctor makes you feel stupid, see another doctor if possible. -Have someone with you for support and to make sure you get home ok -If you experience fever, intense pain, soaking through pads, or notice any weird smell: GO TO A DOCTOR
