i'm trying out medikinet (ritalin/concentra are similar) and it makes me sleepy. i'll test them out for longer but goodness, i hoped for some energy to do things, not being so relaxed i no longer care about the things
it takes some time to learn how and when to safeword. from experience i know that the most common thing stopping someone, both doms and subs, from using them is guilt - they don't want to stop the play when they see the other person is having fun, perhaps it's that?
if i were you i'd try to have that conversation again, try to stress the importance of clear and undeniable consent. how if they want to be treated roughly you need to feel safe doing it, and knowing that they will communicate when they get uncomfortable gives you that safety. but of course, i don't know the whole context of your relationship so i don't know if this would work, all i can do is wish you the best with that!
may i introduce you to - safewords & colour checks! :D
establish safewords with your partner, the deafult ones are:
green - keep going i like this
yellow - approaching my limit let's pause
red - stop immediately and proceed to aftercare
at any point during play you can then ask them "colour?" and in a quick and definitive way you get to know how they feel and if it's too much. (this also goes the other way! don't be afraid to safeword as a dom if things get uncomfy for you). this helps a lot with the variety of things you can try out during a scene because it cuts short the worrying if your partner likes it or not, or if they mean the "stop" when they actually want you to keep going.
bdsm is more than just the hot stuff, it's systems and safeties that allow the hot stuff to flourish safely and hot-ly <3
but i get ya, sometimes you want the same thing but a little to the left, and/or to loop the good moment in your mind. nothing wrong with that
nahhh, in real life the photographer just looked up the next train and turned up regardless if it was a peak hour or empty train time. perhaps they even aimed for the off hour time to get a clean shot with no people in it (you never know if you'll get a nice organic shot of a little crowd, or a mess, people are always a chaotic variable)
i'm also guessing Sharon there substituted eggs for diet mayonnaise and baked in 350°C instead of 350°F
edit: turns out it's even dumber. i reverse image searched and Marie Callander's is a shop that sells frozen meals... so this pie was ready, literally all it needed was to visit an oven of a certain temperature for some time
that is a- strange way to describe a global pandemic
most people were stuck at homes worrying about their income or health
of course there was going to be regression, the world was frozen, events stopped, some places had heavy restrictions on leaving home to go anywhere, thousands were dying every day - not exactly a situation that nurtures progress or positive growth in a society
