It was on sale for the holidays for $72. Comes assembled, and includes installation hardware.

Me & DH are both freaks, we just don't follow through. Public sex is one of those things we wrote down to accomplish at some point.. and we almost did it when we worked at the university, in his office (he was my boss mwhahaha).. but I chickened out, one wall is all glass into the computer lobby and I was afraid someone would walk in and we'd get fired.

We also made a sex rewards game, kind of fizzled because I didn't keep up with it.. Made a point system.. I.E. 2 pts for doing laundry, 3 pts for doing dishes, 1pt for doing something the other wants to do without 1 word of complaint (like going to a movie).. then the rewards were.. 5pts-sex anytime, anyplace, 3pts-oral sex anytime, anyplace, etc.

As for being picked up, I never thought anyone would ever pick me up. I'm big and dense. But we had a friend, who's girlfriend was like 600lbs (he was buff, they were a different looking couple). He bench pressed, and one day we were drunk and he said he could easily pick me up.. something no one has ever done and I just laughed. We went back and forth and then suddenly he THROWS ME OVER HIS SHOULDER. No effort. Like I was a size 0 ragdoll or something. He carried me around 5 minutes on his shoulder. I was just.. amazed (and instantly fell in love with him hah hah).

i know we are young..but god do we act old.

i think he may have diabetes too and i think it effects his drive. and i have to make an extra effort because he is not instantly turned on by my body..and sometimes..honestly..by the time we get into the bed..i'm too tired for effort. i just want him to be 16 again and get hard just because he thinks about a pencil...haha..and boy do i miss the 12 hour sex adventures and the multiple orgasms on both parts..now it's hit or miss with him...if he hits and i missed...i gotta wait some hours to get some more...or just go take care of myself..lol.... i think that will get better too. let me say that if i were satisfied with my body he probably would be, but i'm not and it shows. if i even just lose 15 lbs and i'm all happy with myself, it's like i'm a new person in his eyes.

we do spice it up some...new movies here...new mirrors there...new this....

I LOVE THE POINTS SYSTEM...haha..i need to try that with dh. i made him a coupon book for v-day once..and it is still in his drawer. wish he would make one for me...lol.

oh yeah..i should have added that it is EXTREMELY hard for me to orgasm..and sometimes..i just don't care enough about it, because i will not climax.

but ..if i get all hot first...no problem..but it's not always easy to get me all hot first....weird..i know...

but the swing...and the ball...and being picked up over his shoulder.....omg..just thinking about it makes me want to go jump him (he's a very sexy man..8 pack abs, pecs to die for)....

i think you girls just helped me end a dry spell....oooooooo..can't wait to get home from work..think we will tell ds that we have to have some "grown up talk" and lock the door....

My sex drive has stopped!!! I don't know what is wrong with me... Maybe it is not the weightloss it has to be something else. My husband has been pretty good about it. Anyone else have this problem?:cry

I had a very decreased sex drive at one point, and went to my gyno about it. She said that when you lose weight fat, you also lose hormones. You may need to get your hormone levels checked

tell me more about this please..how do you get your hormone levels checked exactly. i'm curious because i think i show signs of having excess testosterone, which i believe is associated with pcod. i have dark facial hair, a low drive, cramp like crazy, and i have INSANE Migraines each and every month. and pmdd isn't even the half of it...my hormones make me crazy in many ways.

i've talked to my pcp about it, and she put me on yaz, she said it helps...now i have acne...:faint: ..thanks...one more thing to not like about myself..haha.

i've been on birth control since i was 12. if i do not take birth control, i have one extreme or the other. i have amenorhea (no period) or i have one literally every 5 days. :faint:again...not fun. actually, i had no period for a solid year when i got pregnant...doctor's said it was a MIRACLE haha..they were anticipating an early hysterectomy for me from endometriosis...

now..i've had son and i've had cervical cancer..early stages, had have my cervix removed..not it has flipped..wth..how does that happen...likely will not be able to have another child..so i'm glad i did get pregnant when i did ..even though i was "knocked up" by dh..because he was an immature teenager at the time and he wasn't ready...so i lied and said it wasn't his...

ok...enough of my rambling..tell me more about this hormone check.

i have not been diagnosed with pcos, but i have not been to a real gyno in years. i show many symptoms.

thanks for sharing about the diabetic thing. thankfully he can get hard and he does often, sometimes it just takes more to get it there (my not even be related to sugar..it's probably in his head (pun intended)). sometimes i want him to be physically attracted to me and not have to work for although i know that he isn't. he loves me and he thinks that i am beautiful, but it affect the raw attraction aspect of it. you know what i mean...??? he on the other hand is fit..and honestly..and i'm not being mean in any way..but i have never been attracted to heavier men..it just isn't there for me. and no matter how "thick" i have gotten my men have always been cut. if he were as obese as i am, i would need help getting "wet" too. i need help now, but it's not because of his looks, sometimes i just have a hard time getting my mind to shut off.

i didn't think you were laughing at me. you are hilarious. i love your posts. i bet you will be so glad when you get to see your husband. i live in jacksonville, arkansas and there is a base here. i believe there may be another in arkansas, but it is the main one. it is air force. anyways, most of the people that live here are military, so i know what you are talking about. i also work at a mortgage company and about 90% of our loans are military so i talk to a lot of seperated spouses.

oh..and toys..i love them. well..i say i do, but i do not have a running collection and i tend not to go toward anything that penetrates. i know..i know tmi. but if all i ever had to use was a toy i would die. dh has gotten me some for b-days and stuff and he lets incorporate them (on myself---unless it is a sleeve or something)..but the weight kind of affects that too..sometimes it is too hard to reach areas that need to be contacted because my gut is in the way, or my arms are just too short...or you get the point.

SOOO..losing weight will help with that for sure. then i can just incorporate my toys whenever i want. dh doesn't mind, as long as i enjoy it. plus i tend to let him get away with more (i have a pain during sex) when i do incorporate because it helps relax muscles, and he can be as rough as he wants.

ahahahahaha..i'm literally going to jump him tonight.

oh and funny thing..i used to not be able to treat him orally very often because of my neck...ooo when i went to the chiro for the very first time..i wouldn't stay away from him...i was "bobbin" all day..ahahahahah

Well now the old lady of the bunch is going to chime in!!

Laura, no laughin' on the other thread girl!

Now as for your swing. Do not plan on hanging it over the bed. When you think about it--DH wants to be able to plant his feet on the ground--works much better. With that in mind, you can usually hide the hook with a plant or a light cord. You could even put it in one of your extra rooms, where there would not be a question if anyone saw it.

Now to be 100% honest, we likely spent as much time preparing to hang ours, hanging it, and worrying about it....than we have really using it! Keep in mind ours is more than a few years old!!!

And as suggested the hook is actually in the extra bedroom---there was nowhere in our room it did not look obvious. In our house we have a attic on one end, and full access crawl space throughout the rest. We DID re-enforce the ceiling. We double the ceiling joist, and then added cross beams. I believe he fitted 4X4's between the existing beams, and mounted the screw all the way through one of them. My DH did his own thing with it, I cannot tell you exactly how he did it, but it managed.

I always felt the bulges of where the swing ended and I began bulging around it---and hated it, felt like it was deforming me!!! It also made me kinda roll up (for lack of a better description) ----I mean it holds your legs in a raised position, and your shoulders as well, so the natural hang, of it draws you together. Well I already had (still have way too much of it) a huge belly, and it just felt like it was squishing me all up in it, my boobs, belly ---all of it, felt right there in your face, obvious! Now I do realize that was likely NOT what he was focusing on....the problem was I was focusing on it, and not enjoying the experience, which lessened his as well.

With over 100 pounds gone, and my confidence returning, it is still not a good position for me. But had I had it at y'alls age, and when I was thin, I probably would have loved it!

Losing weight has definitely made a difference. I have never had any complaints about the quality or the frequency---but my own body image, set some limitations. Years ago, we did a lot of traveling, and we were always looking for an old road to pull off on--well then came all the weight, and we had many years we would have needed a van!

I know he likes the change, he is always commenting on how he used to only be able to link his fingers around me when he hugged me tight, and now he can grab his own elbows, and have room. He joins me more in the shower---we fit better!!! He joins me in the tub-----for years, standing up in a slippery tub to get out, with all the weight, kept me taking showers and missing the bubbles.

With all of this though, I will have to say, I never really lost my flexibility--even fat I was not easy to wind, and I could always get my legs up over his shoulders kind of thing. I think a lot of that depends on how you carry your weight. But I totally relate to the thinking that your arms are going to collapse, before he does kind of thing!

Weight loss has helped a lot, mentally as well as physically. Y'all got a long time to be happy and healthy in your sex lives, get it figured out now!!!

Now Laura.....grab a Santa hat (and nothing else), a big ol' candy cane, and the cam corder, and make your honey happy!!!!

Kat

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
