My father says it's worse now than during the Cold War and that we should be more afraid now.

EMSKR: What product to use after full/close pubic area shave (to avoid bumps, itch, & irritation)? I hear of conditioner (what is that exactly?) and moisturizer.

They laugh even harder when you buy condoms and flowers the day after Valentine's day.

Should I be using a wax? Or should I be using some sort of facial shampoo? I know it's largely in part genetic, but I'm trying to maintain a decent moustache and often have hairs poking my lips or nostrils; or going in all directions at the ends when I'd like to keep them pointing down. How do other men keep their moustache hairs all going in one direction?

I'm a grower not a shower. I look prepubescent in undies. Help.

One man's story of living with an abuser

https://www.amc.af.mil/News/Commentaries/Display/Article/993143/one-mans-story-of-living-with-an-abuser/

Don't judge me bad. The twin sisters knew we were having sex with each other. We lived together briefly, and they both were okay with it. Thing is, neither one of them want me to have anything to do with the babies. They are both moving to another state (a pretty long way away from me) to be closer to their parents. Fine by me. They weren't even going to tell me they were pregnant. But when I accidentally found out one of them was pregnant, she let it slip that her sister was, too, and I'm the biological father of both!

I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate, because this is reddit and all. But I am sad about all this. And I think later when I get older I'm really, really going to be wondering about these two kids. But the twins have already ghosted me. So I will respect their wishes and leave them alone.

So I just wanted to know if this has happened before and if there are any studies of what the children are going to look like since they had the same father?

It can come in handy for getting the attention of someone like half a mile away, or if you get stuck in a city and need to hail a taxi cab. I also hear it can come in handy with kids. Just don't be obnoxious with it, PLEASE.

I'll try and write a written tutorial, most written tutorials suck, but it might wind up sucky like them.

0. Wet your lips

1. Cover your teeth with your lips, tightened and wrapped over. Like the thing kids used to do to make fun of old people w/o teeth. Don't wrap em over too much though, just enough to cover your teeth tops. It might help to make an overbite as well, your bottom teeth coming over.

2. Fold your tongue back over itself, the shape of a J rotated clockwise, exposing the bottom of your tongue. Don't let the tip touch the roof of your mouth.

3. Take the middle and pointer fingers of both hands, and angle them together in a //\ shape. The angle that works for me the best, look at the tips of your fingers, they should be in a straight line, like oooo, though you might wanna play with this after you make sound.

4. Insert these fingers in this shape into your mouth. Not too far in, about to the first knuckle of the middle finger. The pads on your pointer fingers should be resting on your lips.

5. Rest your tongue on your middle fingers so it keeps that sideways J shape, but don't completely relax it.

6. Bite down a little, get a somewhat tight grip on your fingers. Blow, soft or hard.

7. Experiment. From here on our, there's too many variables to mention in text. Play with the position back and forth with your tongue and fingers a little, as well as how tight or loose you're biting down. The angle of your fingers, both together, and up or down. Drink some water. And, remember, wash your damned hands.

Once you've made a whistle (you'll know when you've got it), try and make it reliably. Reset your hands and mouth and try to get it again. It won't do much good if it it takes thirty tries and five minutes.

Next, optimize for pitch and volume. Lower pitch, the further back in your mouth your tongue and fingers set, the higher the pitch the more forwards. You obviously want it louder, but you ideally want it higher pitch so it stands out more.

When you get it (not if,) it'll take you by pleasant surprise. It might take a while, it might happen instantly. But getting good at it will always take a while, if you weren't already.

There's also a method where, instead of using four fingers on two hands, you use the pointer finger and thumb on one hand, bring them together in sort of a 👌and substitute them 1:1 in the same manner described above. I'm not as good at it this way, but good luck.

If you haven't got it, experiment some more, follow some video tutorials if you like, I couldn't see them helping me aside from making me look at pictures of people sticking fingers in their mouths. I tried to do it a bunch as a kid and never got it, and then one day on my first try in my 20s I get it.

Once you've got it, this is important: be mindful of those around you. It can quite literally alert a whole neighborhood, or deafen those in a small room.

Edit: formatting

Id like to know how to be better in bed. Ofcourse communication and consent is essential. Can anyone recommend a tutorial or podcast all about giving your partner orgasms? (im a visual learner). And on the same topic teaches you bedroom tips and tricks (ie lasting longer) that is realistic and not bs.

I just wanna break the stereotype of men gets off women left turned on kinda vibe.

and I'm fat, so I've always had an insecurity & confidence problem.

My dad is 80 and is making the stupidest decisions! financial and medical. He's stubborn as hell and thinks he still knows everything. He has 5 children and all of us have tried talking him out of the decisions he's made recently. So I know I am right.

How to soften polo tee

Hi everyone, I have recently received a ralph lauren polo tee as a gift, but i fear i may have ruined it. When i first got it, it was soft, stretchy and comfortable, but after 2 washes, the texture has become hard and rough, almost feels sandy. I set my washing machine to easy care with a bit of softner, just like i normally do with my other clothes. I read online that maybe i used too much or the wrong type of detergent? Any ideas how to fix this as i really treasure this tee and how to avoid this with my other clothes in the future? Much appreciated

I used to have very bad acne which has cleared up a lot now to mostly just occaisional redness. When i shave however my skin which is pretty sensitive gets quite red. I use sensitive skin shaving cream and disposable razors. I am gonna join the army soon so ill need to be able to shave daily. Is this smth ill just have to deal with or does anyone have advice for me?

True story. The little shits will do everything they can to avoid waking you up.

I am 20 and I have little to no independence skills. I know how to run a dishwasher, oven and cooking hob, how to cook a boiled egg, scrambled eggs, rice and pasta. I also know how to do the dishes by hand but that's about it. I grew up in a sheltered middle class household, where my Mum used my type 1 diabetes as an excuse to overprotect me. Whenever my dad would try to discipline me or to teach me anything (which he would always do in a firm but fair way) my Mum would shut him down and tell him to leave me alone. As a result of this upbringing and my internalizing of it, I haven't developed any indepence skills. I can barely do laundry, cooking, or manage my finances so I'm really the lowest of the low. This realisation hit me when my girlfriend became aware of how much I lack indepence. When she'd bring this up with me i took it as an attack, which highlights my internalizing of my Mum's response to whenever my dad would try and discipline me.

I would really like to improve now, and i want to learn all the possible indepence skills, but I have no idea where to start. On my list i currently have:

•Personal hygiene skills i haven't learned yet (shaving, tying my hair up because i have long hair)

•Cleaning skills I haven't learned yet (hoovering, cleaning the house, washing clothes etc)

•Cooking

•Finances

•Getting a job

•Managing my time

•Moving out and doing an apprenticeship or going to University after high school

I'm currently re doing high school which is going well, but I want to compliment this with actually living like an adult. I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest any other skills I should learn, because i really know nothing. If you've imagined how bad it is, it's way worse than that, so if there are any skills that you think are so small that i probably know them, i don't so any and all suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you so much if you've read until this point and thank you for any advice.
