This lonesome scrub-brush was found in the old ruins of the Northern State Hospital in Washington state... in the kitchen. It has survived several decades, and still hasn't quite succumbed.

Ugh... I've had a brutal week with food. It started off good and I had even lost some weight at the beginning of the week, but I'm pretty sure I've gained...
I just keep getting into EVERYTHING! It started with a cookie and just snow balled from there :( I went out to the bar last night and that was jam packed full of beer and tequila, awesome for my diet!
ah, oh well... I plan on fixing it tomorrow, I'll start with a long run hopefully that balances it and I'll just put that much more effort into boxing this week and perhaps drop in on a hot yoga class.
I really want to continue with this weight loss thing, I can't let bad eating habits run my life. I need to be able to eat something bad from time to time and not allow myself to fall victim to snow ball eating habits.

skinny old man cat

What are some fun and delicious foods you can give a skinny old man cat to get him to gain weight? Silver is going to be 15 this fall and while he is still a loud, talkative, semi-active fellow, he is quite thin. He has been switched to wet food exclusively so that we can be sure he can chew it as he was having some issue w/ crunchies. The people @ the pet store suggested we try putting him on kitten food, which he loves! We also tried that NutriCal vitamin/calorie paste but OMG lol he sniffed it and then literally ran away. Any other yummy ideas for fattening up treats for my boy? He loves gushy wet food w/ loads of gravy.

I just recently started having sex with my ex again. We used to have amazing, mind blowing sex, and it still is, but now he doesn't last long at all. He's not a one-minute man or anything, but he used to always at least wait until I got off before he did, but now he can't. I think its because he hasn't sex in a really long time, for a few months before we started hanging out again he dated this hard-core Catholic virgin who has never even touched a penis her whole life, meaning all they did was kissing and up the shirt action. Are there any moves or techniques that I can do or he can do to make him last longer? Something to do when he's close to finishing? I miss the old sex we used to have.

Is there any name for a position in which you're side by side facing each other, with a leg wrapped around him and another one on his shoulder?
I just lost my virginity like that, a bit by chance. Not bad for a first time :)

Hello,
Me and my new boy have run into the following problem:
We use condoms and everytime him or me put it on him it rolls back down until only about 5 centimeters (ca. 2 inches?) of his penis are covered. I shopped around the internet for information and this seems to be something that happens when the condoms are too small.
Have any of you run into this problem before? How did you solve it?

OK. So we are planning on moving in 6 months or so. we have 3 cats. The place we're in now doesn't really care about the state of their claws, as we've been here for 4 years, and no damage has been done (to the apartment. our couch is another story). but when we're looking at another apartment, I'm concerned about restrictions on claws. I refuse to declaw my cats, but as a show of good intentions, I'd like to put SoftPaws on them before we move. this is where the difficulty comes in...
Dargle is no problem at all. he's a sweet little lump who will let us do anything.
Bug is a little more difficult, but she's compliant enough that we can get it done in 1 or 2 sessions.
Beatnik is the problem. He is about 15 pounds of solid muscle, and panics whenever he's restrained (I blame a bad bout of kittenhood giardia, which necessitated being held down and given flagyl twice a day for nearly a month) Our last visit to the vet (after he spent 10 minutes panicking at being put into the carrier) he had to be given tapeworm medication, and even the doctor was too afraid of being injured to give it in pill form.
he's a very sweet cat, it's only being restrained that sets him off. so given that, how the hell do I get him to let me not only trim his claws (which is currently a one-toe-at-a-time thing) but glue the claw caps on? and as we'll be getting a new sofa with the move, I'd also like to do it long-term, which means that I want it to be as little traumatic as possible, so he'll let us KEEP putting them on.

ringworm?

posted by: breatheonit in cathealth
Does anyone have any experience with ringworm? I volunteer at a rescue kennel and today we found out a lot of the new dogs have it, or have been exposed to it. I came home and showered, immediately washed my clothes, etc. I don't want to get it or pass it to my cat (I assume it can transfer that way but idk), is there anything else I can do?

Two things

posted by: fairyparatsuki in sextips
1) I'm not sure how many of you guys are like this or how many of you have experienced this, but here we go.
My Boyfriend recently asked me to continue giving him head or to give him head while he orgasmed (basically to just keep giving him head until after the end of his orgasm). I more than happily complied, but was unable. Much to our amusement, he's most sensitive after the orgasm and is actually very ticklish and couldn't stop laughing. So we both laughed and agreed to try again later.
To anyone that has this or has experienced this, any tips on how to continue oral?
2) Another thing we're trying is for me to lick/suck his balls while pumping him. I can't seem to get the rythem or start concentrating on one more than the other. How or what do you guys do to keep the rythem steady?

No FIP vaccine?
Mar. 19th, 2010 | 04:40 pm
posted by: aeryn in cathealth
My cat Seyhi was apparently due for her FIP vaccine, I received a notice from my previous vet, Banfield. So I scheduled an appointment with my new vet, but he said they haven't given FIP vaccinations in years. I was confused, so I asked why, and he said it's not asked for often, and he's never seen a case. (He also mentioned Banfield is in it for the money and while I do agree to a certain extent, I also like to have important vaccines administered).
This worries me, because I know FIP is a terrible disease and I feel awkward not having my cat protected. She was never around other cats, but just last year I ended up taking in a feral mom and her kittens, and I was thankful that they were all negative for FIP. I don't anticipate a situation like that happening again, but you never know.
I asked my mom about her two cats, and she doesn't think they are vaccinated either.
Any thoughts? Is the FIP vaccine important?

Hi all, this is an empty journal in order to keep my privacy, since asking about sex embarrasses me a bit. I has been in my first relationship for some time and my SO finds PIV very painful- we've been trying lube and didn't help much, if at all.It is her first relationship as well, ( for possible triggers ). Does anyone have recommendations about possible solutions?

Major dilema with fleas.
Mar. 18th, 2010 | 11:18 pm
posted by: sixsexscenes in cathealth
My boyfriend has a cat, Domino, and she is the epitome of a cat. This is important because we cannot give this feline a bath. I admire her queen-status but he tried giving her a bath years ago and she tore a whole chunk of his skin out with her claws and this prevents us from giving her flea baths.
She's also what our vet calls, a street gal. My boyfriend and his dad made the mistake of getting dogs after getting Domino and now she won't come into the house unless she meows for one of us to carry her into our room. She's pretty much an outdoor cat, which I disagree with but it's not exactly my pet.
We baby powdered the entire room and I made sure she wasn't in here until hours later because I read that it's bad for their respiratory system. She got a flea medication on her skin a few weeks ago but she's still bringing in fleas. I love this cat to death because she recognizes me as her owner now as well but I can't tolerate tearing off my skin anymore not to mention I'm disgusted at the fact that I've been sleeping with fleas. We can't really see her as an indoor cat and I'm not happy if I have to ban her from our room either.
What can I do about this? Bundle up her claws and force bathe her? I try to keep fleas off her with recommended "natural and safe" treatments along with flea shots from the vet, but nothing's working.

Disturbed by boyfriend's turn-on
Mar. 18th, 2010 | 12:00 am
posted by: sockiecake in sextips
Apoligies for the fake lj, I'm ashamed of this.
This is really confusing for me to explain.
My boyfriend enjoys visuals of what he describes as 'women getting hurt'. He watched 'Red Dragon' not long ago and the violence made him smile.
I know that he doesn't really look at porn anymore, but I recently asked about violent images he'd masturbated to. I remember there being something sketchy about photoshopped images of women getting their, in his words, 'limbs snapped off'. He's not the best at verbally expressing himself so this is all I could get out of him at the time.
Yesterday I asked a bit more about this area and he's avoiding the subject, but I'm fairly certain from his texts he's masturbated to videos of torture or murder.
I just don't know how to feel about it-he doesn't seem like a violent person, I've been with him for years, we have a great sex life etc. &I know his fantasy realm is his own, his thoughts are his free space and he doesnt neccasarily want to 'act out'. But its so extreme.
I'm a very sexual person, quite sexually open, we try new things together regularly but I feel like in a way I 'encouraged' this behaviour because I like quite violent sex..I have no problem with rape fantasy, getting hit, knifeplay etc. He was already intrigued by all this at the beginning of the relationship but by showing myself in this way I just blame myself, like I say he's being quite vague so I'm not sure when these videos were viewed by him.
Should I worry, or just consider it a 'fantasy' thing? I just have a hard time with it being actual HURTING and DEATH of people rather than simulated rape or BDSM. I've been having thoughts of 'what if he really hurts/kills someone one day? What if he begins a double life?' he doesn't show tendancies but isn't half the thing being able to cover it up?
I feel that we have an excellent, open sex life but I'm scared this is the only way my boyfriend is 'truly satisfied' and I don't want to be a part in it, again because of the killing/torture factor, its making me down just thinking about my lovely boyfriend's head working in this way, though I know he can't really help that, but its a side he doesnt show at all.
Thoughts? I'm quite upset.

Last night, I had a dream that a guy and i were doing it doggy style, and when he was inside of me thrusting, I reached down and massaged his balls. Ive never actually done this, but I was curious as to if that actually feels good for guys in real life. Any of you tried this?
Do any of you have any other tips on how to make doggy style AMAZING for either the guy or the girl?

Sex while driving. Oral or otherwise, who likes it, who doesn't. An especially good point brought up was female driver scenario, anyone had this experience?

Finding a Kinky Partner
Mar. 19th, 2010 | 12:58 am
mood:
curious
posted by: artsyspartan in sextips
Questions for those of you in a relationship that has a BDSM/kink/fetish sexual component that both of you mutually enjoy (this component could range from a single sex act, to encompassing your entire relationship):
How did you meet your partner? through a mutual friend? blind date? club? online?
Did you know about your future partner's (shared) kink when, or before, you met?
If not, how far into the relationship did you first start to discover, talk about, or fully develop, your mutual kink?
Was there any factors before you had sexual interactions that made you think you would likely be sexually compatible?
If you don't mind sharing, what kinks or sexual interests do you both share?
I am asking more from the stance of someone who is looking for a semi-regular, if not long-term partner; not a one-night stand. I personally need to achieve a basic level of trust with someone before engaging in many aspects of play.
EDIT: I should probably add that i'm currently living in a rather small town (min 6 hours from any large cities), and to my knowledge there is no 'scene' or kink-clubs here, so that isn't really a viable option for me to meet a kinky partner... My last partner and i would likely both appear rather 'vanilla' from the outside, but discovered through our relationship we both happened to share a lot of the same kinks.
I'm hesitant to put an ad on Craigslist or something, as i am basically trying to find a relationship that has a shared kink component, but don't necessarily want sex to be the main focus from the first meeting.
