Ashley Bishop72 said:I actually feel way more comfortable seeing a male gynecologist. I’ve seen a woman a few times, but it just doesn't click for me. I guess I've just gotten used to my guy. I'm pretty chill about it all—honestly, it’s no different than going to the dentist or a regular GP, I mean, it's not a huge deal, they're just looking at my bits, whatever.
😂 If only I could be that relaxed about it; personally, I still find it a little awkward.
To echo what Chloe Gomez6 was saying, I’ve also had much better experiences with male OB-GYNs. They tend to have gentler hands, they're professional, polite... 👍
But it feels a bit silly when people claim doctors don't like it when a young, attractive patient walks in. Okay, maybe so—if she just came from intercourse and is feeling "emptied out," sure, they are doctors after all—but that shouldn't imply they're asexual. Obviously, they'll remain professional in the exam room, or they'll be fired. 😉

When I went to my first OB-GYN appointment, God forbid, he wasn't hitting on me—but he was absolutely scanning me from head to toe. 😂 And mind you, he was actually quite handsome... tall, too...
I was alone for the ultrasound, but there was a woman in the exam room right before me, and I could hear her groaning—it was almost a scream. 😕 Apparently, he doesn't exactly have a "gentle touch." 🤷 🤣
Look, OB-GYNs can feel that spark of excitement too when a young, attractive woman walks in for an exam; no matter how much they try to keep it strictly medical, there’s still an element of sexuality involved. I’m not saying they're all like that—some doctors actually seem to despise women—and some probably prefer performing a D&C without any anesthesia just to be difficult. Some might even find it a thrill, but logically, there are definitely those who are secretly turned on. 😁
I have to admit—my gynecologist during that first visit was actually quite easy on the eyes. Tall, dark, handsome... kind of a distraction, if I'm being honest! hehe! 😁 But anyway, back to the unfortunate part.
I still vividly remember my very first gynecologist appointment—I was such a nervous wreck that I actually ended up feeling physically ill before even getting there. To make matters worse, I was under the impression I’d be seeing a woman, but when I walked into the exam room, it turned out to be a male doctor. Honestly, I nearly died from pure anxiety right then and there. It was supposed to be just a quick ultrasound, but he could clearly tell how terrified I was; he eventually tried to lighten the mood by joking, "Was it really that scary?"
I realize they aren't exactly looking at everything during those specific scans, but still, it can be incredibly awkward for some women.
What has your experience been like? I’ve heard quite a few women—friends, colleagues, people in general—say that they actually prefer a male doctor for vaginal exams because, strangely enough, the men tend to have a much gentler touch than the female doctors.
Ronald Garcia5 said:These photos aren't half bad. My only issue—if you can even call it that—is that in the "after" shot, I don't see any sign of a scar? Wait—isn't that just some other girl entirely?
Actually, once you're through with the surgery—and I mean really healed up—you can barely even tell there was an incision at all. It’s practically invisible.
Bill Gates said:Looking at these photos, you give off a bit of a sophomore vibe—maybe around twenty years old? How tall are you, anyway? Honestly, I’m wondering why you wouldn't just hold off on that surgery for another two or three years until you've fully finished developing. I know plenty of girls whose chests didn't even stop growing until much later in their twenties. It might be worth waiting. 🙂
I find it hard to believe it’s actually going to climb that high—honestly, I’ll be hitting my 20th anniversary before that happens. 🤷 It’s not even about my height—I've got hips, so having breasts like this actually fits my frame. I'm 5'5", by the way. And honestly, from what I've read, you can go under for plastic surgery once you hit legal adulthood. I want to feel confident and happy while I'm still young; once I'm old and gray, I won't care nearly as much. As long as my mammogram comes back clear and my doctor gives me the green light, that's all that matters.
My parents basically need to wait for that court ruling to finally drop—it’s already been decided, really, the judge just needs to sign off on it before the end of September—and once that settlement money actually hits their account, then they can finally afford to go see a specialist for those consultations. It’s certainly not exactly cheap—not by any stretch of the imagination. $7333Honestly, is it even worth it? It’ll just end up wrecking my self-esteem in the long run. And let me be clear—I'm not doing this because I have some deep-seated psychological issue to work through—I'm doing it purely for my own damn satisfaction.
driftingmason72 said:Donna Wood52—if you’re looking to go full watermelon with your chest or whatever your goal is—you have my absolute blessing!! Though, let’s be honest, my opinion probably shouldn't carry much weight here anyway...
I think you're exaggerating just a bit. I wouldn't want to walk around with a Pamela Anderson lookalike situation or something massive—that’s just not really my vibe. It feels a bit too "easy" for me, if you know what I mean.
What I actually want is to get some work done that actually fits my frame—something feminine and classy, just a little more pronounced. There, satisfied?
An unknown person is someone who is vain—someone constantly chasing after honor, grasping for status, and nursing a bitter jealousy toward everyone else. They’re arrogant, they walk around with a puffed-up stare, and they’re just flashy, boastful types who parade their wealth around. It’s a hypocritical existence, really; they do everything just to stay in the spotlight, preening over their supposed moral superiority and their "brilliant" intellect—you know, the type who feels the need to correct everyone in every single thread 😉—all while harboring a deep-seated contempt for those around them... Then you have the absolute peak of arrogance—those individuals who actually delude themselves into thinking they are equal to God.
Grandiosity—while being the hallmark diagnostic feature of pathological narcissism, scientific research suggests that this narcissism actually manifests in two distinct ways: (a) a grandiose state of consciousness seen in younger adolescents, which can be shaped by later life experiences, and (b) a stable disorder described in the DSM-IV, which isn't necessarily defined by grandiosity so much as it is by severe disruptions in interpersonal relationships.
In short, a grandiose individual leans more toward a clinical pathology, whereas an arrogant person might not necessarily suffer from a communication disorder, though they are certainly unpleasant to be around.

I’ll be turning 20 soon. I actually sat down with my doctor about a month ago to discuss breast augmentation—it's something I've been weighing for a while. I'm currently holding off because I have some other commitments to wrap up first, but the decision is essentially made.
So, I wanted to get some honest perspectives from this group: has anyone here actually gone through this kind of surgery? To be perfectly blunt, I used to look at women who opted for this and think they were just being immature—that was my internal bias, anyway. But then it hit me that making a change like this can seriously boost your self-confidence and overall happiness, which is why I've decided to take this leap. Still, I’d be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. So, I have a few questions:
1. How long does the recovery process really take? I’ve heard some talk about it being closer to six months...
2. Am I looking at an overnight stay at the hospital, or is it more of a "get in and get out" situation where I head straight home after?
gentletiger20 said:Look, if the healthy folks don't care about those who are suffering, then it's perfectly fine for the sick to have zero regard for the healthy... He’ll only admit it once he actually falls in love 😁—which is just as fair as someone walking away from you before they even catch feelings, simply because you're ill and they want to avoid the risk of falling in love later. That’s just how love works; that’s just human nature.
srna001 said:🙏😲 Based on this post, you'd almost think people dealing with mental health issues—or anyone with a family history of illness—should just play it cool and hide their struggles from someone they're interested in. They should wait until the other person is already hooked and deeply in love before dropping the truth bomb, because apparently, that changes the whole dynamic.
And honestly? That’s exactly how things work these days. Nobody wants to deal with someone who's "broken"—it's a harsh reality, but there it is. 🤷
silentpilot6 said:I have no clue where you got the idea that I’d just sleep with her for one night and then walk away 🤷 I knew exactly what kind of responses I was going to get when I posted this thread... damn it 🤷
Well, fine then. You said she was attractive and sweet—basically saying if she made a move, it would be hard to say no, you just wouldn't want to marry her because of the risk of passing something down to kids. ☕
Here’s the deal:
silentpilot6 said:First, let me give you a concrete example... one of my neighbors, a really gorgeous and genuinely nice girl 🙂 there are actually two cases of schizophrenia in her immediate family(her mother, and an uncle)... would you enter a relationship with someone like that? Personally, I wouldn't... and it wouldn't just be about her—it's about the chance our children (if things ever went that far, of course 😁 ) might end up suffering from it too.
silentpilot6 said:The question is pretty desperate—I’ll admit that—but it’s also very real... look, sorry, I’ll say it again, but I wouldn't be—better yet, I wouldn't *enter*—a relationship with someone who either has, or has a massive chance of developing, specifically schizophrenia. As far as my own family goes, from what I know, there hasn't been a single mental health issue...
hm. so you just sleep with them for one night and then bail. 🙄
how pathetic can you get?
if the girl is beautiful and smart, why wouldn't you be with her just because she deals with depression or something?
there's an illness in the family? so now people like that don't even have the right to get married? 🤷
silentpilot6 said:one of my neighbors—a really attractive and genuinely nice girl🙂—has two cases of schizophrenia in her immediate family (her mother and an uncle)... since we know this is a concrete hereditary disease (at least in most diagnosed cases), would I date someone like that? Personally, I’ll admit I wouldn't... partly because of her, and partly because of the risk that our children (if things ever go that far, of course 😁) might also suffer from it. With all due respect to those living with illnesses, I still wouldn't knowingly enter a relationship with a woman who is already ill or has a very, very high probability of becoming so. Okay, I assume it's a completely different story if I were already in a relationship with a girl, loving each other and all that jazz 😍 and then finding out certain things later on...
what do you mean "because of her"? people struggling with these issues actually need a family more than anyone to be happy; it's a different matter entirely if you're going to respect her less just because you found out she's sick.
and stop using those damn emojis constantly. what's so funny about this????
James Ramirez10 said:Can we merge this thread with the one about psychotropic meds? There's stuff in there regarding tapering off, too. First rule of thumb—don't go rogue; everything should be coordinated with your doctor!
I’m with you on that!
Just point me toward that psych med thread—if I haven't already missed it...
I can't quite make out what's being said here—could someone else maybe give me some advice without being so incredibly blunt? 🤷
p.s.: Look, feel free to offer your thoughts, but if you're just going to resort to personal insults, then please—just don't bother saying anything at all.
I’ve been on antidepressants and antipsychotics since I was 14—now I’m 19, and honestly, it feels like the right time to finally look into tapering off. Things have shifted; I feel significantly better and those heavy depressive episodes just aren't hitting me nearly as hard as they used to.
I haven't actually sat down to hash this out with my psychiatrist yet, though I fully intend to bring it up at my next appointment. I realize he's the one who can give me the most medically sound advice, but I’m curious about the general perspective here—specifically from anyone who has been on these types of meds and eventually stopped...
What do you all think? Are there lingering side effects once you get off them? Is the transition actually worth the hassle? And the big question—is there a real risk of the symptoms crawling back once the medication is out of my system?
