I’ve never even had a gf which just makes it feel even worse. I’m in in my first year at university and I’m struggling to even make friends. I hear people talking about how they’ve all lost their virginity at 17 or 18 and then there’s me. I have kissed a girl once, it was some old friend I hadn’t seen in years who happened to be invited to the same party as me but that’s it and that was when I was 18. I just want to know if being a virgin at 20 is something to be embarrassed about because that’s how I feel

On September 11th, 2001 over 3,000 innocent people lost their lives to a terrorist attack on US soil. Joking about this started nearly immediately with comedians like Chappelle implementing terrorist plane hijackers into their sets. It continues to this day, with Americans responding to the Japanese 9/11 memes by making means of their own. These 3000 plus people did nothing wrong, and people are still dying today from cancer caused by this tragedy.

Just a few weeks ago, 5 people lost their lives on an underwater sea exploration. One was a 19 year old. The jokes started immediately, before people were even certain they were dead.

George Floyd was a 46 year old career criminal who was stopped by the police and disobeying orders initially. The police eventually overstepped and led to his death on may 25th, 2020. A single man passed away undeservedly but not through no fault of his own.

It seems to me none of these should be joked about or all of them should be. To not joke about Floyd's but to joke about the other two seems discriminatory.

I’m lesbian and have only ever been sexually active with my girlfriend. I don’t see myself as a virgin but recently I had an argument with someone who insisted that I was still a virgin because she doesn’t have a dick and therefore I wasn’t penetrated

I was concerned by these papers: and . Figure 4 of the latter paper indicates that wearing a N95 caused CO2 levels well above the 8-hour NIOSH limit and just below the 15-minute limit.

I still wear an N95 mask indoors (other than home). In the coming days, I will have a long flight (where I take the mask off in the bathroom) and a long plasma donation. It's possible that wearing the mask while the plane is midair is unnecessary due to air circulation, but I'd certainly like to wear it at other times (eg in the airport).

Should occasional long exhales through the mouth followed by a pause before inhaling again be sufficient to keep my inhaled CO2 levels down?

I grew up Mormon so there talk about him coming to America and talking with native Americans but what's the story for Catholics and what not. It sounds like he came back to life and just peaced out or went back to heaven. What was the point?

I’m from Finland and it’s often said that the sauna isn’t an erotic place and that it’s normal for women and men to be naked there. However I feel like seeing naked healthy women almost always feels erotic and I was for example in a sauna naked with my date a few days ago and I did get a boner.

First of all, I don’t mean it any kind of disrespectful way.

I have a genuine question if plus size women have higher sex drive than normal women. I’ve experienced it in my life again and again and for as long as I can recall.

Either it is over the internet or in person. Women who are towards overweight category are WAY more horny than petite women. They are also more open to sexual experiments.

Is that really a thing or just my experience? If yes then what is the reason? Is there any scientific research behind it?

First off, I support all human rights, including trans, non-binary and any other LGBTQ+ rights. I am just having a hard time understanding why the gender binary cannot coexist with a full expression of individuality, and am asking these questions to gain a better understanding, not out of prejudice.

If you were to ask me what it means to feel like my gender, I would have no idea what to tell you. I just know what it feels like to be me, and what my experience as a woman has been in this world. But my experience as a woman says everything about the current social atmosphere, and nothing about what being a woman inherently means. E.g. wanting to wear heels doesn't make you less of a man, even though this society might make you feel like that. So I have a few questions:

I agree that your sex says nothing more about you than the basic biological differences, so since we construct gender ourselves:

1. Why is it necessary for some people to transition from one gender to the other? Do they really feel like they wouldn't be able to be themselves without certain characteristics of the other gender (E.g. high/low pitch voice, breasts, genitals), or do they think that other people wouldn't perceive them as they want?)
2. What makes people who identify as non-binary feel that they don't fit into either of the genders? Isn't that just giving in to the existing gender roles, by saying that these don't fit you. Why isn't it possible to construct what your assigned gender means to you on an individual level? And why is it then necessary to reject the entire binary system.

Again I am just asking these questions to gain a better understanding. Unfortunately I don't have any friends who (openly!) are transgender or non-binary. I have tried asking friends who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, but they also couldn't really answer this for me. Any input is appreciated! Let's please stay kind and respectful towards one another <3

I’m not talking about organic or green juice. If I make most of my food from scratch like pizza dough and dressings or if I cook my own dishes and stay away from pre-made frozen food or fast food, is that considered healthy? Do I have to catch my own fish or can I just shop from a grocery store, would that still be considered healthy? Is it really about which brands I choose or where I buy from? I feel like most people just think too hard on this or is American choices actually terrible compared to the rest of the world?

The only thing I can think of is “miss,” but yea, that’s about it. The reason I don’t use ma’am is because I kinda think calling them that makes them feel old. What are some other ways to address a woman?

I remember the internet still being the kinda "cool, new" thing and most adults weren't even savvy enough to navigate it. It feels like a I went to bed one night and woke up the next day to find that the world exists more on the internet than it does in reality all of a sudden. Everyone feels more isolated than ever, dating is seemingly impossible without it, the corporations which basically run the world right now exists almost exclusively on it. Not to mention if the internet shut down all of a sudden the entire world would be in chaos financially and in many other ways. Sometimes I even wonder how people used to exist without the internet. Like how did you navigate with a maps app? How did you know where to eat without being able to search something up? It's quite depressing tbh.

I have been dating someone for a year and things are going well. She has an ex she dated in highschool and remained friends with over the years. He lives in another country and she often visits him for a week or so to go site seeing. The last time she met up with him they went to New York for a few days and stayed in one bedroom hotels to save money, this was early on when we started dating.

There is a concert coming up that they both want to go see in the next city over. He's going to fly in and meet her and they are going to get a hotel for two nights. She is a great person and I do trust her a lot, I don't want to bring this up with her and look insecure or jealous. I have no problem with someone who I am in a relationship hanging out with the opposite sex or ex's, but this seems a little dodgy.

She mentioned that there was a stage where he was gay/bi, but I don't know if that is still that case. Am I just being paranoid or is it weird that my girlfriend goes on trips with her ex?

I was having a discussion with some of my friends about various random things going on in the gaming industry and one of the things we talked about is how there has yet to be a mainstream/AAA game with a gay man at the center. We were talking about the obvious reasons that hasn't happened yet, and why it's more likely to see a queer woman (e.g. Ellie) in this space instead of a man, but it seems like very few people seem resistant to it -- it just hasn't happened yet. This is obviously more in the narrative/story-based gaming space as of course there are some genres that don't have much in the way of plot or characterization.

So I guess my question is, all other things controlled for -- AKA it's the kind of game you typically enjoy, is well made, etc. -- would you be turned off from playing a video game if the protagonist was a gay man? Why or why not?

Are guys understandable or do they just stop pursuing that girl? I know it will depend on what the guy is looking for in a relationship, I just wanted to see what the general consensus was.

I finally got the courage to ask out this girl I've wanted to go out with for a year. We'd see each other every month or so and talk for 20 minutes at a time and there was a lot to indicate she was into me, so I asked her out.

Our only method of communication was Instagram, and she told me she wasn't on there much. So it took almost a week to plan our date. Honestly, I thought the date went well. I was very nervous, but she said we should go out again.

The next day she said she didn't see it going anywhere and said she didn't want to lead me on. I said it was all good, I'm glad we went out and wished her all the best in what she was working on.

Since then, she's regularly been watching my Instagram stories over the past month. 1. I thought she would have unfollowed me after the date, it wasn't like we knew each other well. 2. For someone who's "Barely on Instagram" she's been on to watch them regularly. She's not posted anything, but today she watched a story of mine then she posted on for herself, which I haven't watched yet, and I'm not sure if I should. Normally this is the part of the month where we'd run into each other, but I've been avoiding that.

Someone said that she was surprised by my disinterest in her lack of interest and wanted to see why and she had some level of attraction since she kept tabs on me.

I'm not really sure what to make of this. My friends think she's probably curious why I've not been around like I've been for the past year. Do I watch her story? Am I supposed to do something?

I'm latter, but the guy who's the former is convinced because he takes his food diet super seriously that he's healthier (his logic is a joint, or a line, or whatever a dose of ket is is healthier than a pizza). We're both the same age (28) and both male.

My boss told me I could either resign or be fired after I put in my two weeks. As I understand it putting in my two weeks is a courtesy that I could resend at any time.

Edit: I’m in the US, and I probably did deserve to get fired, I messed up pretty bad.

So a lot of female friends over the years have told me how easy they sleep after they cum and it's never been the same for me. In fact sometimes I find it harder to sleep specifically because I just came. Any guys that can confirm?

In another post in this subreddit a guy mentioned how the hottest thing a woman ever did was whip off her bra and shove her boobs in his face. No pre-conversation, apologies, or disclaimers. As a CIS guy, this sounds amazing.

Ladies, what's the equivalent for you? What can a guy do that's equally awesome?

(And before this goes off the rails, please assume all of this is within the context of consent. Otherwise... Eww)

Shes banned us from swimming with her, getting changed near her, changing her and pretty much most things like that. I understand its for privacy but like. Shes 2.

Edit: im 19 and this is my first niece/nephew or any similar parental role. I have no idea

Edit 2: thank you for all of your help guys. I can see both sides of it. I just wanted to get a better understanding of it all 👍

Edit 3: not being able to change my niece doesnt bug me. I dont really want to be covered in crap 😂. But it bugs the kids dad (who is banned from changing her). And at some point id like to take my neices and nephews all swimming or on a family holiday go swimming (which i am banned from doing)

Edit 4: to the people who are saying im weird for caring. Im sorry but i care about my brother and it is affecting him that he cant look after his own daughter. I also enjoy swimming and feel its an important skill lmao

Edit 4.5: i think i have been accused of being a perv as i 'am defensive' about changing nappies. No lmao. I do not care. The main source of my input on this situation is it is causing issues for my brother, the child and the mother (to a great extent). Which as a member of the family id like to atleast try and offer advice or help in any way i can.

Edit 5: my sister in law knew of one of her family members who was the victim of SA as a child, and so worries that will happen to her child. But will not get help about it.

Edit 6: i forgot to put one in originally. Cheers u/secretprocess for pointing it out 😅

Edit 7: apologies for so many edits firstly. I think after going through all of the feedback i am wildly out of my depth in this situation. I want nothing other than good for the parents and daughter but it isn't my place. Thank you for all of the feedback. I'll continue to take any and all but i think in the arrogance of my youth i've attempted to help something where help may not have been needed (atleast not from me).

PLEASE READ ALL OF THAT BEFORE POSTING THANK YOU
