Anyone have any experience with this affliction? People (myself included) are infected by this "benign" orange bacterial colonization in moist dark areas like the scrotum and armpit hair. I've tried shaving the affected area but I've had this problem for 7 years and have only found relief by using a benzoyl peroxide topical. Been putting it on and leaving it for 15 minutes to an hour before showering for a week now the infection has decreased to a small area behind my scrotum. Pic related.

I'm wondering how long I should keep the 10 percent benzoyl solution on my balls to have maximum effect without damaging the skin

I am fucking disgusted with myself /adv/.
I have a beautiful girlfriend, and she is just a treat, but I can't seem to get it up hard enough to penetrate her (never had this problem before).
I think it may be related to my massive porn addiction (which she also finds immoral), so I decided to quit porn.
I haven't watched porn in two days (pathetic, I know), and I somehow ended up making a Tinder account with fake pictures of some hot guy, and getting dozens of girls to sex-talk with me about my fetish, and even invite me over (of course I never come). And I masturbate to all these conversations.

What the fuck is wrong with me? This is even worse than fucking porn. I have no idea why I am doing this. How do I stop?

I'm currently in a ldr with someone. she lives in canada and it's about 13 hours to get there by plane. we met while i was on break from school, but the issue now is that it's really, really difficult to be apart. I'm planning on moving there, but i'm just really not entirely sure on what i'd need to do in order to legally get a job in the first place. i also imagine the process would take a while because of government stuff.

what sort of things can we do to make it a little less unbearable for when we're apart? and if anyone knows, what sort of process should i follow for moving to canada?

I have a friend from jr high who came from the same ghetto trash environment that as me. These past few years, I've really moved up in the world and started getting an education. In comparison, she hasn't even finished highschool.

Recently she came to visit my place for a week and I mentioned to her, before she left, that she should stop drinking booze because it's bad for her health. She has a 4 year old daughter and I think she goes out partying too much. I think her party days should be over and I don't respect her choices.

After she went home, she sent me this message and it really pisses me off. Is she just trying to stir up drama with me? She is so self centered and demanding.


What exactly is she trying to say her and would you regard this as attempting to stir up drama with me?

My professor is an arrogant, rude, sarcastic bastard

Nobody can stand him, even other professors

We were thinking of starting a bullshit rumor about him being racist and having him fired

There's a lot of SJW at this school with big mouths & media connections

Could this backfire?

I'm a teenager who still uses their pants instead of napkins, doesn't shower everyday, wears old clothes and can barely afford a secondhand jacket. I come from a very poor family so I am looking for the cheapest way to be more attractive. I did manage to teach myself how to shave my face with a kitchen knife but it's nowhere near perfect. I also have no known way of shaving other pubic hair. Also tips for dealing with depression because of wealth gap will be appreciated as I always feel like the society's sack of shit when my classmates whip out their smartphones and eat pizza and pancakes almost everyday.

Hey, friends. I'm in a bit of a rough spot, relationship-wise.
So I'm mildly autistic, which you'd need to spend a significant amount of time with me to notice but nevertheless has resulted in my utter failure to ever get a successful date. So a while back, I found a girl in one of my special ed classes, befriended her, and eventually asked her out. She's not particularly attractive, and has some serious personality flaws. I think I honestly only asked her out because I believed I'd never get anyone else. It's a year and a half later and this year, she's stopped taking special ed classes. It really shows. She's lost touch with the concept of unexpected behavior, and it's gotten to the point I'm uneasy about being in public with her. But I can't break up with her. She's extremely depressive, and is taking the full IB diploma resulting in a shitload of stress, and I'm confident that she would commit suicide if I broke up with her the wrong way. It doesn't help that her (alcoholic) father has just died. I've also been assimilated into her group of friends, who are somewhat protective of her. They're my only friends right now, and a large part of why my autism status has decreased from 'somewhat' to 'mildly'. Most of them would become extremely pissed were I to break up with her. First year of college is coming up, and though she's definitely going out of state for her college when she gets there (she's a year younger), she's made it clear she intends to pursue a long-distance relationship. I feel incredibly trapped. To compound issues, my closest friend, who I've known for a while, has just admitted she's always had feelings for me, and I can't even try because my girlfriend notices and knows _everything_. I can't get out, and need to get out, of an empty husk of a relationship. And I've come to terms with the fact that it exists because of my own selfish needs and willingness to exploit, not because I ever actually liked her.

What do?

>Do taxes on H&R Block website.
>Make $14,759 over the year
>Know about ACA bullshit, as I'm entering W2s, I get my refund knocked down to a little over $300.
>Enter my Student Loan Interest, raise it back up to $488.
>All looks good.

>Get to ACA Penalty portion (I thought I just paid this?)
>Click on option saying I didn't have health insurance at all during 2016.
>Suddenly, I now have a shared responsibility payment of $695 and owe $207.

What is going on, here? This is the first time I have had to pay the penalty for being uninsured (got off by a slight margin from partial insurance through my mom, last year), but I thought the $300-400 that got deducted from my W2s were my penalty? If not, what was that first deduction?

I definitely don't make enough to owe the govt money without the ACA penalty, so why do I owe money TWICE? Single, no kids, btw.

So i've been trying to cut contact with my oneitis, we are friends and apart of the same friend group but she has no feelings past a friend for me. The shit thing about it is I feel like garbage on somedays but then others we talk and I feel great. We sometimes hangout just us two and play games and stuff and get along well.

What is really burning me up is I know when she finds someone im going to be so far outta mind because of the new guy. I understand that and all but it'll still hurt alot. I rather cut contact with her now instead of later. The issues I am running into tho are

> I stop contact with her a few days but get overwhelming urges to text her and talk

> Most times I do text her we talk for a little while and I feel good

> The longest I cut contact was 3 weeks and I fucked up and asked her one question and then from there it snowballed

I made a promise last night after we all hungout together that I was going to stop contact with her, well today I asked her to hangout and do something again and I hate myself for that. I find when im really bored or just wanna talk to someone I gravitate to her and try to talk. I need to ween off of her before I have no choice and can't talk with her anymore. Rip the bandage off is what im thinking.

I can't do the obvious delete her number thing because were all in the same group and I dont want the other guys knowing what I did and why I did it.

I have a possible false rape charge coming my way. How can I defend myself? I already have saved pictures of all conversations and bruises left on ME.

>girl(friend) asks me to go out drinking
>we are both drunk
>leave the bar because shes acting really stupid. she cant even walk. keeps falling down.
>a 10 minute walk to her house turns into an hour walk
>get her to her house, both of us are drunk, she clearly more drunk than I.
>whenever something bad happens when I'm drunk, i try my hardest to stay concious and coherent
>shes running into the middle of the street screaming at people, at houses, crying
>trying to get her to stop
>all the sudden she starts making out with me
>push her off
>does this 5 times
>gives me a hickey
>try to leave
>she keeps dragging me back
>break away from her and leave her in front of her house, i go home
>next morning she says i took advantage of her and is telling everyone that i used her

So like I mentioned before, what can I do?

This was a lose/lose situation for me. If i walked her home, this happens. If I let her walk herself home, she could have gotten mugged or raped, and it would be my fault because I let a girl go home by herself drunk after midnight.

She messaged me a big long text about how scum i am, how im worthless, how i need to stop telling people shes in love with me, etc. etc.

I literally did nothing like that.

Best part? This isnt the first time shes gotten really drunk and tried kissing me. I guess because I pushed her away twice she snapped? Idk. I didnt want to kiss her back because she had a boyfriend at the time and I dont really see her like that, but shes convinced that I'm head over heels for her and tried using her.

Should you bother ask a girl out when you don't "feel" it?

That girl showed crazy interest in me at first but it slowly faded away and it depresses me because it's either I fucked up somehow or she was playing me(She did things that were unmistakably interest signs, so its one or the other)

I barely know her, and she politely refused to add me on facebook, even though she gave me her number and asked me mine.

I still feel like she doesn't dislike me and actually likes being around me and she most likely know I like her.
Other girls at this point start being more distant or not give me attention, I can catch up when a girl simply doesn't want it, but this one leaves me confused.

She on the other hand is still responsive in many ways, and I kind of get the feeling she is waiting for me to make a move.

As you can guess I have 0 experience with girls.
I'm quite confident and I can safely go to her to ask her things like hanging out or flirt but I don't want to freak her out or make things awkward because we're a group of friends and we also part of a work project, so social cohesion is important.

I guess I know the answer myself but I want to know what experienced people would say I should do.

I'm a 33 year old male. I've never had a girlfriend. I'm not fat, I don't *think* I'm ugly but by this point I have no idea. I'm quite shy, in fact I'm being treated with CBT for anxiety. Yet I go onto mental health forums and other people - people who seem quite genuinely nuts - all have exes or current girlfriends. People are saying they feel "used" because they had sex with someone who didn't get back to them.

I socialise most weeks, I go to parties, pubs, days out with friends. I've tried dating apps. Nothing works. I just seem to be magically unattractive. I don't start moaning, I don't emo it up. I either pretend I'm okay or actually feel quite optimistic and happy.

What the fuck am I doing wrong? I mean, I'm not getting anything at all from women. Girlfriends or wives of my friends all say "OMG Anon, why have you never had a girlfriend?" as if it's totally confusing to them, yet they must feel the same way as all the other girls who don't find me attractive. Sorry for wall of text.

I was reading another thread the other day talking about how becoming friends with someone with the aim for something more was disingenuous.

What about someone you've been friends with a while and just recently started to see them in a different light?

I am not asking if you should spill a confession, but if it was viable to ask them out on a date with them knowing that it is a DATE.
