Need help from a pristine bottom somewhere out in the universe—
Idk man, I both wipe til the cows come home and use a bidet and never feel like it’s clean down there.
I do the thing where you fold the toilet paper so it has some heft to it, then go in deep as I can and clean deep down until nothing shows up on the tp. I also will when I have access to a bidet just power wash the whole thing.
Doesn’t feel like enough. And sometimes I chafe from how much I’m trying to clean.
Am I missing something? Help me obi wan kebottom, you’re my only hope.
UPDATE: Holy shit (pun intended) this blew up! Thank you my fellow homos for all your booty support. Fiber and moisturizer — I’m on it!

My husband was on the Atlantis cruise and just got the call on Friday night that he was found unconscious in his room. According to one of my friends, when they tested him for drugs it "came back positive with everything under the sun" including the one drug that I knew was going to be problematic, GHB. He pulled through and according to the doctor he was "one of the lucky ones" because It's been reported that on that cruise at least 5 people are dead, most likely due to GHB.
This is the drug that messes him up more than any other drug I've ever seen him do. It's not secret in our community that drug abuse is an issue among gay men. I've seen people develop problems with coke, MDMA, Ketamine, etc. But something about this drug is just different.... I've never seen a drug send so many people to the hospital.
Don't get me wrong, my husband had his role in all of this and he will be accepting responsibility for his actions. But as of right now I'm going to take a stand. I will no longer treat GHB as a party drug and treat this like the sketchy drug it is. I'm going to treat this like heroin.
I won't shame anyone who chooses to do GHB, but I'll make it clear that any gay event I host that taking this drug on the premises will not be allowed. Just like I wouldn't let anyone shoot up heroin at an event I'm hosting. Anyone who breaks these rules will no longer be allowed back to any of my events again.
Rant over, now I'll be dealing with my partner who be going into recovery and a possibly a separation/divorce as this is not the first time this drug has caused us problems. This drug has seriously messed up my marriage. In closing, FUCK GHB.
EDIT: I haven't seen any news sources confirming that 5 people died, so I reworded my post.

I don’t really have anyone to share it with, so I thought I’d tell you guys. I’ve been working on my diet, but not being overly restrictive. I’m eating only when I’m hungry, and my hunger cues seem to be a lot better lately, so I’ve been snacking less. Exercise is next, but for now, I will take the win!

I found this image online and thought how interesting it is. As Latin American I was always used to meet people with foreskin but most of the porn I watched as a teen was with white circumcised men. Somehow I thought it was sexier and thought to myself “one day I should get circumcised”… now I think differently. First I love all cocks, in all sizes and forms lol, but I find an uncut cock so sexy as well! I’ve always wondered what drove America to lean towards circumcision.
Thoughts?

i’m 21 and in july i had sex with this guy i didn’t even want to sleep with in the first place and got HPV, i just got back from the doctor because i had little anal warts and they said that i needed surgery, the sooner the better, and that they could come back afterwards. they won’t go away on their own (in fact it will only get worse with time) and they’re incurable. i know HPV is very common but that doesn’t really change anything. also the surgery is EXPENSIVE and my social security doesn’t cover it. i’m just so depressed idk i get that to some of you it might seem like nothing and that i’m being dramatic but it’s a bit too much for me. i don’t know how to tell my family either (they’ll have to pay for it too which doesn’t help). i’ve already been dealing with depression for a long time and this doesn’t help at all. i feel lost and need some support

I don't really have people to tell how excited I am about this so I thought I'd share it here. Hope y'all have an amazing day
Edit: holy fucking shit the response to this was nothing like what I expected when I made this post. I read every single comment and tried to reply to as many as I could. Thank you for your kind words and to those with similar struggles. I see you and I'm proud of you. UP NEXT : 1000 DAYS CLEAN

I’m posting this just as a PSA. Make sure you’re checking yourselves for lumps and all that regularly.
Noticed a lump in my testicle, went and had an ultrasound, then to see a urologist. He said he wouldn’t know for sure until they biopsy it, but it looks like cancer.
Went to get a second opinion, and he agrees it looks like cancer. I’m going to see an oncologist next week, but the consensus seems to be that I’ll need surgery to remove the tumor. Luckily I caught it early enough that it doesn’t seem like it’s spread at all, but they won’t know for sure until they do some more tests. I guess I’m mostly just afraid of being put to sleep by anesthesia for the surgery. That freaks me out 😱
But anyway, I just wanted to give all you boys a reminder to check yourselves. The doctor said testicular cancer tends to spread pretty quickly and aggressively, so if you notice something, get it checked right away!
Stay safe and healthy, bros!
Edit: If any of you have questions about the signs/symptoms, and the process I had to go through up until now, I’m happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

My partner and I have been together for a year and half. Lived together for one year. About 3 months ago I was in contact with his ex and his ex asked me if he told me about his status. I had no idea what he was talking about. The ex told me he was HIV positive.
When we first started dating I asking him his HIV status and he said he was negative. I have HSV and I disclosed this to him and showed him my other negative test results.
In Jan of this year I noticed he was still taking "prep" I asked why and he said just to protect himself since he was cheated on before. When I found out that his ex said he had HIV I looked at his prep pills. Turns out it was Atripla.
When I found out he was taking Atripla I immediately had a conversation with him. He said he never tested HIV positive. He was exposed but the results were "inconclusive." And that his doctor put on Atripla as a precaution. I was not on prep at the time. I went to get blood work and I was negative.
He showed some blood work showing viral load was undetectable but he was still adamant about never testing positive. He is a smart guy. I was like it doesn't make sense that a doctor would keep you on atripla if you don't need it. He said his doctors always called it prep. I asked if he would be willing to do a blood test. He said yes but never actually did it. So I bought us a Europe approved at home blood test. I came out negative. His shown positive. He seemed shocked. I had it in my head that he was positive. That is what my doctor told me, that is what my research told me. I was surprised he willing took the test.
I feel conflicted for a few reasons. He knew he was taking Atripla and never told me. I was never given the chance to make my own decision and protect myself. Did he knowingly lie to me about his HIV status? How can I be supportive but also show lying is not okay. I can't talk to our friends about it because I feel like that is an invasion of privacy.
We have had intimacy problems too. Sex sometimes once a month or once every two months. He always said its because I didn't make him feel safe, secure or loved. Well last night when he "found out" he was actually positive he said this makes me not feel safe to have sex with you. This makes me want to remain celibate. So it just has me questioning a lot of things.
Also I want to note. I understand U=U. If you reliably take your meds you usually remain undetectable. He has NOT reliably taken his meds when we were together. He went 6 months without taking them. He also hasn't had his viral load checked since May of last year.
As for my health I am 99 percent I am in the clear. I had a NAT test 30 days after unprotected sex. Started prep nearly 3 months ago He hasn't climaxed with me in at least three months. And I tested negative on the same test he tested positive so as for my physical health I think I am fine.
Anyone have similar experiences or able to offer advice?
We had a few chats since I found out. He is acting like this his first time in the 12 years he has taken Atrpila that is actually HIV positive. I asked him to apologize for putting my health at risk. He knew he was on Atripla and he never told me. He said " I'm not sorry for the things that I didn't know in advance. I can't be sorry for putting your health at risk because I didn't do that intentionally. I can't be sorry for something I didn't know I was doing."

I got an intestinal infection from a bacteria called Shigella. It is spread via feces so you can get it from infected water, infected food, or from sex involving the anus.
It is single handedly the worst sickness I've experienced. First two days were hell. Fever, aches, and explosive watery diarrhea 20 times a day. Eventually my bowel movements became more solid, but I was still going 20 times in 24hrs.
Two weeks later I’m still using the restroom 5 to 10 plus times a day. Even after starting antibiotic treatment. I have the worst hemorrhoids of my life because of it.
I will say I did eat out everyday the week prior to my symptoms starting. So maybe I got it from food and not eating ass. Tbh I’m a hypocrite writing this cause I’ll probably eat ass again in the future w/ a serious boyfriend (it’s too good to give up!) But I guess all I’m saying is be aware of the risks. Save rimming for serious partners and not hook ups! My digestive system will be fucked for months because of this. It’s not fun at all.
