Sex, Girlfriends and Shit VII: "Power Moves For High Quality Women" - General

[QUOTE=homosapien69;51235179]But it's probably okay just those two times right?[/QUOTE] How much are you willing to gamble on that "probably"? Get plan B. [editline]20th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Pascall;51234891]I prefer like... five dollar necklaces from Forever 21 or H&M to anything crazy expensive. I always feel awful when people buy me jewelry because I only wear necklaces and even then it's only ever cheap shit because I know I'm probably gonna lose it.[/QUOTE] My ex decided to buy me a necklace for my birthday once, despite my protests. He had no clue how jewelry works and didn't have the good sense to ask a female friend/family member like my other ex did. He decided that, because I have an octopus tattoo, it meant I would also want a pendant of an octopus. I would not be caught dead wearing something like that because it would take me from "person with octopus tattoo" to "octopus girl". Thankfully he kept forgetting to actually give me it (long distance). Apparently "silver pendant with minimalistic design" was not enough instruction.

[QUOTE=homosapien69;51235179]But it's probably okay just those two times right? I'm just really worried I've fucked up, is it likely that I did?[/QUOTE] i'm like 99% sure precum has semen in it so even if it's unlikely it's entirely possible plan b is like $45, that's worth the peace of mind fair warning your gf will feel like hot garbage for like a week (probably, mine did) but it's worth it, plus you won't make that mistake again.

i mean yeah if it's not legitimate they have ways to just shut that whole thing down

[QUOTE=homosapien69;51235179]But it's probably okay just those two times right? I'm just really worried I've fucked up, is it likely that I did?[/QUOTE] it's probably not okay, and you seem to think it's not either considering how worried you appear to be. take the advice of the others and get plan B just in case.

[QUOTE=homosapien69;51235179]But it's probably okay just those two times right?[/QUOTE] Its just as likely to happen those two times than it is any other time

I got a complicated situation that I would love some advice on. So, basically, I have this friend (?) who I've known for awhile. Last year, I was severely depressed and she has chronically suffered from severe anxiety. We became extremely close (like cuddling at each others houses and staying up late to talk to each other about our problems, we knew all of each others secrets), but she essentially cut me off at the start of this year with little explanation. At the time, she said that she felt we were getting too close, but in hindsight she said that she was in a very bad place and her anxiety caused her to lash out against the most important person to her (which was apparently me). I recently reconnected with her and she told me that she missed me a lot and that she was a huge bitch for leaving (?) me, I told her it was fine and we basically started where we left off again. The issue is that there is this other guy who is WAYYYYY more attractive than me that has basically been flirting with her on and off for the past year or so. She told me herself that she know's hes a douche and that she'd never date him but she has called him 'insanely hot' before, snapchats him all the time, etc. Earlier she referred to him as 'entertainment' in the sense that he's eye candy but not the type of guy she would date, but she kept talking about him and I could feel myself blushing and becoming super jealous regardless. I don't even really know what I'm asking. There was always a weird sort of sexual tension between us that we have never discussed (other than whether or not a relationship between us would work), but I feel like with this guy she's telling me pretty clearly that she just wants to be friends. At this point I'm writing this kind of to vent, but I would like to know what you guys think about this weird ass scenario. This post is oversimplifying the situation by a wide margin but I'm just so confused and jealous and happy at once that I don't know really what to think of it.

I want to give my girlfriend something permanent as a gift, none of my gifts in the past year have cost all that much so I thought jewellery would be an option. But yeah as everyone's said, it's a bit hard to decide, I think I have good taste, but I'm not confident.

[QUOTE=OvB;51234818]A dude bought a friend of mine in our study group a charm bracelet watch for her birthday which is still like two weeks away. She was shocked about it. Think he also asked her out to coffee after giving it to her but only once. He used to be kinda flirty with her but so far after that it seems like he backed off entirely. Seems super weird to be buying jewelry for people you're not in a relationship with, ey? Felt to me like he was buying a date. The whole thing seems super awkward from my position but I honestly don't know shit about being social so. But yeah mate I wouldn't spend a ton of money unless you knew there was something she wanted.[/QUOTE] my mate bought a necklace for a girl he was dating years and years ago, but she blew him off before he could give it to her. now he has the necklace so we can all have a laugh about it, and it continues to be a running joke among our friend group.

Alright all set, I've bought a few small cheap personalised things, bookmark, headphone clip, going to buy her a cheap microphone since hers is garbage, fill a flash drive with some TV series and I'm going to buy her some poetry books, might write a couple in the blank pages, it's a bit gay but we both like poetry. That's about $50. Better than jewellery I think.

much better, i personally think that jewelry is a bit of a cop out, kind of like getting some one a gift card. unless its a piece that they actually want and have told you they want it.

The thing about jewelry is idk what her ring size is and if you ask it sounds like you're gonna marry her

[QUOTE=Bathtub;51237057]wha ha happen was[/QUOTE] Sounds like you like this girl. Honestly, if you want to be with her, go for it. Talk to her. Make the push. Sure she might be telling you she ain't interested, but maybe she's telling you that because she wants you to push for her, I dunno. Short version: You want her? Go for it. Answer is automatically 'no' if you do nothing. [editline]21st October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Hilton;51239109]The thing about jewelry is idk what her ring size is and if you ask it sounds like you're gonna marry her[/QUOTE] Does she have other rings already? If so, [I]steal one.[/I] Size match it. Put it back later. [I]Tell her nothing.[/I]

I used to make some pretty cool presents for my fiance. My favorites were a heart made out of welded .30 cal shell casings, some carved sones, a few necklace thingies that were made up of shell casings with quartz crystal sticking out of them, and a cast bismuth heart full of awsome looking bismuth crystals. That last one was my all time super fav. Wait no I forgot about the alcohol lamp powered sterling engine with a generator that lit up around 30 purple leds spelling out her name. That one and the bismuth heart are tied for my favorite.

I really don't wanna ruin the relationship we have now but yeah its pretty obvious that I want more. Thanks for the advice.

I used to be able to make midgrade jewelry myself. That was always a great cost saving skill that got lots of bonus points from GF's. Unfortunately it is a depreciable skill and I no longer have any of the equipment.

would the risk of STIs be much worse if the condom only covers the glans?

[QUOTE=flashn00b;51242106]would the risk of STIs be much worse if the condom only covers the glans?[/QUOTE] I think it would depend on if its fluid transfer or contact transfer, and if its spreading m to f or f to m. If it was fluid transfer and m to f then probably but I mean really, if you got a jimmy hat on the tip, why not go full rubber and be exponentially safer?

Was thinking more along the lines of f to m and fellatio (in the case of a BJ, both giving and receiving)

yea I dont think it would help much

[QUOTE=flashn00b;51242106]would the risk of STIs be much worse if the condom only covers the glans?[/QUOTE] Why do you want it to only be on the tip? Sure it'd decrease the risk from fluidborne contraction but just skin contact itself can spread.

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;51243195]Why do you want it to only be on the tip? Sure it'd decrease the risk from fluidborne contraction but just skin contact itself can spread.[/QUOTE] In the case of oral sex, I have to wonder if the risk of STIs is as prevalent. Vaginal or anal, I'd still wrap up the entire thing. If only the the head needs to be covered, I think there'd be less appeal in having to taste 5+ inches of plastic

They make flavored condoms

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51244398]Blowjobs with a condom have to feel absolutely terrible[/QUOTE] sucking on a plastic bag basically. Like take a grocery bag and just start licking it.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51244398]Blowjobs with a condom have to feel absolutely terrible[/QUOTE] They're uh, nothing to write home about.

[QUOTE=psychojake;51244916]They're uh, nothing to write home about.[/QUOTE] The alternative is an STD risk, hence my inquiry about just covering the head (i'm gonna guess the consensus is still "cover the whole thing"?)

[QUOTE=flashn00b;51245018]The alternative is an STD risk, hence my inquiry about just covering the head (i'm gonna guess the consensus is still "cover the whole thing"?)[/QUOTE] my dick is too small to touch the STDs so im good

[QUOTE=flashn00b;51245018]The alternative is an STD risk, hence my inquiry about just covering the head (i'm gonna guess the consensus is still "cover the whole thing"?)[/QUOTE] if (you feel or you know that) there's that much of a risk for you with a blowjob that you have to wear a condom idk why you'd even want to do that
