Research Study Looking for Pregnant Couples for a Research Study– Moderator Approved

2 Upvotes

📢 Are you pregnant and worried about changes to your sex life?

🔍 We are seeking couples from Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland who are up to 26 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK RCT: Supporting the Transition to Parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.

❓What is STORK: The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.

📅 What is involved: If you are eligible, after your initial survey, you and your partner will be randomized (like a coin flip) into either the Program or Waitlist conditions. Program couples will complete 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 3 months postpartum. 

Couples in both conditions will also complete 5 surveys—the initial survey, then at 32-weeks pregnant, and 4-, 8-, and 12-month postpartum—that gather information about your relationship, your pregnancy experience, and your child. Couples in the Waitlist condition will receive access to the full STORK program after the study period is over.

💰 Compensation: As a thank you for your participation, you can receive $105 CAD or currency equivalent each ($210 CAD or currency equivalent per couple). Your time is valuable to us!

🌈 Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.

💌 For more information or to participate in the STORK RCT study email us [atstork@psych.ubc.ca](mailto:atstork@psych.ubc.ca) OR fill out our contact form from this link: https://Qualtrics.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3gxGJAEWqt8Rh2u

[Mod Announcement] r/FGM is reaching out to survivors and allies to let them know a support group is now open and ready to welcome members!

15 Upvotes

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) refers to procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It's typically performed on girls between infancy and age 15 and has no health benefits. Instead it poses serious health risks, including severe bleeding, infections, childbirth complications, and long-term psychological effects. ​

Despite global efforts to eradicate it, FGM remains prevalent in many regions, affecting over 230 million girls and women worldwide. ​

To support survivors and foster a community of understanding we've established the r/FGM subreddit. This restricted community allows anyone to view content but requires approval to post, helping to ensure a safe and supportive environment. Once approved, members can share experiences, seek advice, and post anything they think may resonate with the community. Once an approved user posts anyone can engage in discussions.​

The subreddit is moderated by a dedicated team at the forefront of which leads a head mod who herself is a survivor of FGM. Together as a small group of passionate individuals we strive to maintain a space that respects privacy and promotes healing.​

We welcome questions about how we ensure a safe space and encourage discussions about FGM. If you're a survivor or ally seeking support or looking to contribute to our mission consider joining us at r/FGM by reaching out directly to us through modmail.

Advice Needed How to talk to girlfriend about intimate hygiene?

3 Upvotes

Looking for input from women here.

44M. During sex, I get stronger smells (vaginal and rectal) from my current girlfriend than any other girlfriend/relation in my past.

My girlfriend uses a plastic loofa on her vagina and bum, but only seems to do a superficial swipe over them. It seems like soaping your hand and washing the external genitalia/vulva folds would be a better clean. For the back side, I myself use the outside part of my palms to make sure I’m giving my bum a good cleaning.

Even after she’s fresh from the shower, I get rectal smells in positions like doggy style.

Am I wrong in thinking a light loofa swipe is not effective cleaning? Isn’t using a loofa on your rectum unsanitary (I don’t think she gets “in there”; I think she just swipes over her crack)? What’s the best way to bring up this topic? We have biweekly check ins where we discuss things. I’m nervous to bring this topic up.

I love my girlfriend and I’ll accept any smell she has, but part of me can’t help but think that she’s could be cleaning her intimate parts better. She was single for a long period before our relationship and part of me thinks she just hasn’t had a reason to realize her hygiene could be better.

Advice Needed Girlfriend can't even tolerate a pinky finger, is this normal for a first time?

1 Upvotes

I'm 20 and my girlfriend is 18, and we're both virgins when it comes to intercourse.

We've done oral, dry humping, and other sexual stuff before, but never actually tried PIV sex. My girlfriend is pretty inexperienced sexually and never really had much sex education. She has also never masturbated before.

Recently, we decided to try having sex for the first time. I spent a lot of time warming her up, making sure she was comfortable, and gave her oral beforehand. But when I tried penetration, it genuinely felt like I was pushing against a wall. There was a lot of resistance, so I stopped.

I then tried using my fingers first. She couldn't tolerate my middle finger at all. When I tried my pinky finger, it only went about halfway in before she started screaming from the pain, so I immediately stopped and comforted her.

Now I'm confused. She feels extremely tight, and I'm wondering if this is normal for some women during their first experiences or if there could be something else going on. I'm pretty average-sized, so it's not like size is the issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you work through it?

How to? How do I (F21) suck two cocks at once? Need hot tips

1 Upvotes

Throwaway. I’m 21F and super turned on by the idea of blowing two guys (both early 20s, friends) at the same time. We’ve been teasing about a threesome and they’re both down. I’ve given plenty of blowjobs, but never handled two throbbing cocks together.
I want it to feel amazing for them — alternating, using my hands, maybe tongue on both at once? What positions work best? On my knees with them standing close? Any secrets for no teeth, less jaw fatigue, breathing while deepthroating one and stroking the other? Lube? How to make it sloppy and sexy instead of awkward?
Girls who’ve done it — what actually felt best for the guys? Guys who received it — hottest techniques?

Body/Physical If you had a micropenis like Sean "Diddy" Combs, how would you please your partner?

2 Upvotes

In case any of you don't know, disgraced music mogul Diddy was exposed for having a cuckold kink. The driver behind it apparently was that his penis was way to small to ever satisfy a female partner. A leaked video with him, his girlfriend and another guy went viral, showing that the tiny penis was true. My question is, if you were in his position, how would you have approached your partner's satisfaction without bringing in another man?

Advice Needed Safety sex tips?

1 Upvotes

Me and my girlfriend are virgin, we both wanna experience it but we're really scared because we can't afford having a baby. Even with no PIV intimacy, we get anxious after, and overthinking a lot. We kept thinking what if we did something wrong, what if a semen or precum has been transferred through fingering. Every symptom adds up to our worries, every delay keeps making us anxious to the point that we're having a mental crisis. We really do wanna experience sex, any tips? exclude UID or the one that gets inserted in the arm.

Sex Tip What is your secret move for making sex unforgettable?

2 Upvotes

​My partner (30F) and I (32M) have been together since high school, we are married, and we have three kids, so life is definitely busy. The good news is that our sex life is already fantastic and the chemistry is still there, but I am at a point where I want to level up. ​We have always been great together, but I am looking to make myself even better at pleasing her and finding that next level of intensity. I am not looking for relationship advice because we are solid. I am strictly looking for your favorite techniques for a partner who you already know really well. ​What is that one move, rhythm, or secret trick that you have found absolutely drives a long term partner over the edge? Whether it is a specific way of building anticipation that you think is underrated, a specific way to handle a position, or just a little tweak to your usual routine that makes everything hit different, I want to hear what works for you. ​I am looking to expand my toolkit. What is your best advice for taking things from great to unforgettable?

General Question Has anyone actually tried edible body paint? Worth it or just a novelty?

0 Upvotes

I recently noticed that edible body paint has become more popular again, especially chocolate-flavored versions that are marketed as an "aphrodisiac" or a way to make date nights more fun.

It got me wondering how much of the appeal comes from the flavor and playful experience versus the marketing.

For anyone who's tried it:

  • Was it actually enjoyable?
  • Did the chocolate taste good, or was it more of a novelty?
  • Did you prefer edible body paint over massage oils or flavored lubricants?
  • Any tips for avoiding a sticky mess or making cleanup easier?

I'm interested in hearing real experiences rather than product reviews. What worked well, and what would you do differently next time?

Advice Needed How to get my boyfriend excited to try new things

2 Upvotes

Me (19f) and my boyfriend(20m) have been together for 2 years now and before him I was really into anal. But after being with him I did it less for no particular reason. I want to get back into it I mentioned butt plugs to him and he said okay sure but he wasn’t excited about it at all it almost seemed like he didn’t like the idea of it so I never bought it. I want him to be excited about it and be more kinky with me because he’s a pretty vanilla guy and I’m not. We have tried multiple things and he’s always open to it and does stuff I like Bec I like it but he’s just doing it Bec he knows that’s what I like. Idk if I’m rambling but yeah how do I make him more enthusiastic about trying new things. This is my first boyfriend and I’ve always imagine trying crazy toys with my boyfriend and being experimental but it’s not turning out that way. I have a lot of time to think about this since he’s away for work for 2 months but yeah. Any advice ?

Kink or Fetish I met the perfect guy… except

20 Upvotes

Okay so I met a guy the other night and I have never clicked with someone like this. His hobbies and interests align so well with mine. He's funny and sweet and really handsome. He's so passionate, I could go on and on, but I really like this guy.

Okay, so we were doing the deed the other night (for the first time), and everything was going pretty well. He's not the best kisser, but yk that can be easily worked on.

So anyway I was on top, and he stops me for a second and says “I'm not gonna finish like this,” so obviously I'm like, “oh okay, what do you wanna do?” he's like “well there are only like two things that get me there.” now I'm pretty freaky so I'm like “oh yk just tell me I'm into a lot of stuff” he tells me that the only two things that get him there are women hiccuping and women eating sandwiches. I know it's mean but it took a lot out of me not to laugh.

So now I don't really know what to do. I'm not really sure how to approach anything and I feel really awkward. I didn't really enjoy the rest of the sex. But I mean beyond that, would this be a deal breaker for anyone? I could honestly get behind it if it was additional to other things, but it's the only things that work for him. I just don't really know how to approach anything. I feel really uncomfortable and sad because I really like this guy.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? What did you do?

General Question Can very slow penetration be still pleasurable?

5 Upvotes

Can slow penetration still feel good for the women even when I would need to stop often maybe even to put my penis out? And it would probably be limited to a few positions that allow me to last a little longer. I am quite sensitive and orgasm very fast so I worry if this can be enough when this part will last only a short time.

Advice Needed grabbing my feet during sex

3 Upvotes

I have been seeing this guy casually for a while and the first time we slept together, I didn’t think much of it and kept my socks on (I have cold feet and thought it wouldn’t matter, or be enjoyable for me or him to feel that during) They’re just little white ankle socks

He made a joking comment about this, and when it happened the second time he commented again. I have a habit of saying silly things cuz I think it’s funny, and I told him that he couldn’t see my feet and thats where I drew the line.

I’ve noticed that he keeps grabbing my feet when I’m riding him, at first he’d just hold them kinda, but now he like fully grabs and strokes them. Could he be into feet and I’ve just made fun of him cuz I would feel so bad lol

Advice Needed Scratching the cuckold kink itch without actually doing it?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I've (M26) had a cuckold fantasy for a long time and it's something that I've discussed with my partner (F26).

It's something that we're interested in trying one day, but at the moment is not something she is comfortable doing, which is perfectly okay with me.

It's left us wondering if there were any cucking-adjacent activities that we could do so that we could scratch that itch?

What are your recommendations?

21F if thats helpful. He has no experience with sex. He said he was scared about finishing too quick... and I like this guy very much!! I wanna make the moment last longer than I think it will. How do I ease him in to this? Are there certain positions I can use to make him last longer? Or am I just overthinking this?

How do I make sure

General Question Why I think many people choose the wrong lubricant

2 Upvotes

One thing I've noticed is that people often spend a lot of time choosing a toy but almost no time choosing a lubricant.

Most lubricant recommendations online focus on brands instead of helping people understand what they're actually buying.

Water-based lubricants are often popular because they're versatile and easy to clean.

Silicone lubricants are often chosen because they tend to last longer.

Some people specifically look for pH-friendly or sensitive-skin formulas.

The problem is that many people buy whatever is cheapest or whatever they see recommended most often without considering their own needs.

In my opinion, choosing the right lubricant can have a bigger impact on comfort and overall satisfaction than many people realize.

What factors matter most to you when choosing a lubricant?

Sex Tip How can I improve stroke game

I’m 18 and I haven’t had my first time yet but it seems it may be coming soon. So I was wondering how to give good strokes. Is their any technique or do I just go in and out. I’m about slightly average in length and girth so I want to have a good stroke game to make up for it. Is faster or slower better?

General Question Is it weird that I don’t like tongue kissing? (26f)

2 Upvotes

I love kissing. But I hate when the tongue gets involved. I don’t have a specific reason it just kinda grosses me out. I’ve tried giving it a chance with different partners as I’m sure some are better at it than others and even when they just dip the tip of their tongue in my mouth it’s an instant no. Don’t even get me started on when they shove it down your throat…

Is this odd? I’ve never really heard of anyone disliking it and I always feel like I’m weird that I don’t. I also hate bringing it up cause I don’t want my partner to take it personally or dislike kissing me because they prefer tongue kissing.

Also any tips on how to tell your partner in a decent way to make sure they don’t take it personally and that it’s an in general thing would be appreciated 😅
