  • While the graph is not made on any actual dirrctly linked data set I would still say it has more meat to it than just being nice. It’s very much over simplified especially the “improved diagnostic and understanding” part.

    That metric alone is at odds with its self in that our understanding of neurodivergence vastly out paces diagnostics. When most hear the term diagnosics they think of fancy medical devices that give either a yes or no answer which is completely the opposite of what is actually done. There is essentially a book with a set of “symptoms” that a group of doctors have agreed upon that ones doctor uses to comapre their patient to. While that sounds fine its far from flawless.

    • The list of acknowledged symptoms is only updated every X amount of years (iirc its like 5 years but I’m on my phone so hard to check)
    • Many of major issues/symptoms people face are completely mental therefore invisible with no way to test for them (atm)
    • Much of the “testing” can be very opinion based even if it’s based on something objective therefore finding a doctor who is the least bias.

    (i could go on but need to stop procrstinating)

    All of this doesn’t even touch on thr social or economic aspects too.

    Back even just 26 years being diagnosed with ASD, ADD, or, ADHD came with heavy stigmas with many parents refusing to get kids tested because if it was “positive that means there’s something wrong with my kid”

    Also there could be a huge drop in current diagosis due to political persicution.

    Depending on where you are it can be cost inhibitive.













  • This is something I wish I could do since the tactile results are so much better.

    Sadly as a person with sensitive skin and also the dreaded ingrown hair issue I can confidently that if you are like me this is an awful idea.

    Shaving will normally not give you ingrown hairs so long as you shave WITH the grain.

    I only have myself as a sample size so I don’t know how reliable this info is but if you’re unsure of you get ingrowns try shaving your normal areas against the grain and see if you get any. I have shaved my face and even head once before and it didn’t seem to matter where I did it the issue was persistent.


  • For me clean shaved is my preference but calling it a deal break is a bit extreme. I fully understand that hair is natural and the idea of being perfectly shaven at all times is basically impossible. Hair grows both slower and way faster than we expect and the “fresh shaved” part only lasts for a day. As for why it’s a strong preference; I love giving oral but hair in my mouth is not good. Like I might vomit with gusto and force on a hair trigger not good. (Pun intended)






  • Huh I’ve thought about making one and putting it up on porn hub but figured someone already had.

    I’ve been shaving for decades thought. I use a Harry’s razor (way cheaper than “premo” bs brands and works just as well) Don’t use shitty disposable razors.

    Use a CREAM shaving cream like “Cremo” not the foam crap. In a pinch hair conditioner can work but it’s not good either.

    If it’s your first time trim it as short as you can before shaving. But never use an electric trimmer near and loose skin.

    Rinse the blades often build up means they aren’t working.

    The more times you pass over the same patch of skin the more irritated it will get.

    Do not rush.

    It’s easiest in the shower.

    The main way to cut youself will be pressing to hard on the blade. But the way that will always cut you is letting the blade slide sideways. To avoid this alway lift your blade off your skin once done with a stroke or if you have to stop a stroke.

    Shave regularly. It’s easier to keep it up rather than redo it. I find every other day or every 3rd day works for me. If you put it off more than 5 days you’re in regrowth danger zone. It will get itchy and if you scratch it you will end up with a sort of rash from irritation. If that happens it’s probably the worst time to shave because your skin will be bumpy. If you do shave it will relieve the irritation but you need to be extra careful.

    Also as much as you want to be smoooooth it ain’t going to happen. Petting with the grain will be smooth but full prickle removal is basically impossible. I can get mely nuts fairly smooth with much effort and practice but the pubic patch is a no go. Maybe it’s just me but the one time I did try to go against the grain in my pubic area it was smooth for a day and then irritated to hell and I ended up with bad ingrown hairs. Not worth it.

    This part is main for males everything above applies to anyone I would assume.

    Cold water = Shrinkage but can also make shaving easier for someone new. However because your sack is all scrunched up you’re much more likely to have a patchy shave.

    Warm water = Loose skin. This can make shaving trickier but is easier to get all the areas.

    Don’t be afraid to stretch that shit out like a paint canvas just make sure you have a firm grip before shaving a stroke.

    Anyway hope this helps kinda just info dumped while laying in bed so might forgot something. feel free to ask questions.
