Hey, sorry if this isn't the right place for this. Currently suffering from jock itch and trying to change up underwear to help fix it as I'm having quite a few flare ups even with the prescription creams (currently on 3rd ish week). I usually wear boxer briefs or cotton boxers but I was thinking these might be better? https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/rivet-mens-long-leg-trunks/RM110120459-1M.html
Can someone please help me out? I keep coming across conflicting info on what to wear.
Thanks in advance!
I met my girlfriend’s parents yesterday. I wanted to bring flowers for her mom but we met at a restaurant so I didn’t know if that would be awkward. Everyone I asked agreed it maybe wasn’t the best idea to bring them to a restaurant. They’re in town for a week and I’m supposed to go to their house tonight so my plan was to bring the flowers to their house instead. But according to my girlfriend, her mom was a little disappointed that I didn’t bring anything. Other than that, she liked me! Just trying to get some extra opinions, do you think I should go through with my original plan to bring flowers tonight, or will it seem forced and like I’m trying to make up for yesterday?
Edit:
I’m not asking whether I should break up with my girlfriend over this. I’m only asking if bringing flowers at this point will seem forced. When will redditors stop suggesting a break up after every argument/misunderstanding?
My dance-style is currently “Ross in the friends titles” - stiff and no idea which body parts I’m meant to move!
I’m not looking to become world-class or anything, just good enough to boost my confidence at weddings, pop choir performances, Christmas parties, etc. I feel like half of it is learning what good dancing looks like, and the other half is learning to read the room, being confident that I’m bringing a good energy, having a good time and connecting with people. A lot of my reservedness is out of anxiety about coming across obnoxiously or over the top or getting in someone’s personal space more than they’re comfortable with - all good goals, but I’ve probably got a bit of space to dial up the extroversion without causing offence!
Anyone who’s gone on that journey of building dancing confidence, I’d love to hear from you!
saw the other post about "college girl" dating...but I'm about to ask someone who has already finished college.
20-22 yrs old
I'm not talking about little love bites either. I'm talking about leaving the mark kind of bite. Can't I just take a little chunk? Telling her what I plan to do ruins the surprise I think and she might not like the idea of it when I ask. But if I just do it in the heat of things, she might actually like it, too.
I know users have discussed this plenty but I haven't found anything on copper clothing. I suffer from both jock itch and athletes foot right now and am looking for every treatment possible. I am already doing creams and various treatments but I want to try copper underwear and socks as it's supposed to have anti-fungal properties. Anyone else tried it?
Looking at these:

I know this girl is young and me getting vasectomy is making her feel better because she won't ever have to worry about getting pregnant--although that will likely change when she gets older. But both my parents ended up in mental hospitals and both my grandparents had diabetes and early dementia. I'm not passing my genes on to any kid. No kid deserves my genes. How the fuck am I wrong on this?
Seems to me I can get everything I want without having to sign a piece of paper. I've lived with 3 women...or they lived with me...depending on how you want to look at it. One even gave me an ultimatum to get married or she was going to leave. If it's that easy for you to leave before you get a piece of paper, it's even easier to leave after you get it. So why? Does every man think he is going to have a different result from all the other saps out there getting screwed in the court system?
edit: hehe, I literally called men "saps" and didn't say one derogatory thing about women....but look who came out in the comments showing their true selves! Love it! I've PM'd those whose comments I felt were written from experience....adult experience...not reddit experience. Thanks.
i’ve tried getting into working out consistently like a dozen times over, and each time i’ve gone for like a couple weeks. But each time, I tried to do full body every single day, with like one rest day.
Looking back that doesn’t seem to smart. I want to gain muscle. And I want i look good too, but I don’t know what a weekly workout plan should look like.
And if I were to want to make my abs visible, what diet plan should I shoot for? How many break days? Does working out only one area of your body a week really grow it enough? Please help
Might be getting serious with a girl soon, want to start trimming or shaving down there. Best brand? Is manscaped good?
M 26, Just had sex with a girl (F 23) today evening which I later realized that her groin area was all red Looked like a typical “Jock itch” But could be anything else too I took a good shower about an hour later Now I am getting paranoid thinking that whatever it was I might have gotten it 😓 I bought a clotrimazole 1% cream today and ordered a Chlorhexidine 4% wash But I am debating should I start the treatment now just in case or wait to see if I actually contracted it. I have had it before in high school and it took forever to go away- trying to avoid that Its been 6 hours and Right now no redness or anything just feel a lil cooler on the scrotum - could be my mind playing tricks. So, should I wait or start with the cream? And if I start the cream, should I take for the full 2 weeks even when there is no symptoms?
I read somewhere that women go through a major life change every 10 years and reassess their situation. Considering all the divorces in my family, that seems to be 100% true. I know there's huge differences between men between 18 and 30, but I'm betting they're not the same as women..especially when I'm talking about dating, partners, love, sex, etc. So what's up?
Is our country still bent on making us pay for 4 more years of English, Math, and Science when we already had 12 years of it for free? Seems to me college is just another business trying to make money by selling you something. I like political science. But they were trying to make me take all this English, math, and science and pay for it even though I absolutely do not need that shit. If you could just take my polsci classes, I guess I could see paying for that. Are there schools like that? Where I can just take my classes that I want instead of the ones that are forced on me?
