Something I learned about surgeries I wished I'd known sooner

I recently learned hospitals that train medical students also have had a history of doing un-consensual pelvic exams and prostate exams on those who are under anesthesia before surgery. The surgery doesn't have to be related to the area being examined, although I can't say for oral surgery whether patients often wear gowns. It's been passed since the early 2003s for some states and more recently 2020s for others banning this without explicit consent being signed by the patient. Nonetheless it's scary how I never knew this was a thing some trainees had been given permission to do under supervision of the surgeon.

As someone with cptsd from sexual abuse (AFAB) this is insane to not know about till later in my life. I would look up whether you're in the states or not if you are protected by needing signed consent because apparently not all states (US) require hospitals to ask permission before doing these procedures without your knowledge. Request medical records of post surgeries since they still list what is done even if they never told you every procedure taken that wasn't what you thought the surgery entailed

I don't mean to fear monger, I just want to share in case anyone would want to look into it themselves and be ready to be extra clear what you're comfortable with people doing to you, and to stand your ground on HIPPA rights.

Anyone else dislike masturbation yet still need to do it 😒

I don't know about most asexuals but I dislike masturbation. Yet Im still a human and have libido.

I really don't like being horny. I don't know if most people do.

So in order to avoid getting horny I masturbate. I also am dopamine deficient and have trouble falling asleep so I got into the habit of doing it regularly to feel something and fall asleep.

Im trying to figure out a system or something so i can not be horny and masturbate as little as possible.

Does anyone else feel like this? Or experience something similar? Any ideas, or thoughts would be great! Thanks!

silly little thing my ace friend said to me

before meeting said friend, i genuinely didn’t understand asexuality. so one day, i asked my friend “how do you know you don’t like sex if you’ve never had it?” they said:

“how do you know you wouldn’t like hugging a cactus? you’ve never done it! GO HUG A CACTUS!”

i understand now
