Was causally watching a video about the craziest stuff people tried selling online, and one of the things was an actual baby for $3k. That got me thinking… How the fuck is surrogacy not seen as human trafficking? Why is it only seen as human trafficking once the mom gives birth to the child? How is not a form of human trafficking for a woman's body be RENTED OUT in order to make a baby with the intentions of the baby to be stripped from its mother as soon as birth?

Don't bring up adoption as an example either because 1. adoptions are already linked to human trafficking + its a very shitty flawed system, BUT its a system literally meant for kids who cannot be with their parents due to their parents being unfit or dead. The kids in question had no choice for the most part. And even then, CPS is notorious for being shitty because their main objective is to keep families together, even if the family is abusive. With all that being said, adoption is also a mostly goverment-funded endeavor.

So why is surrogacy allowed? Why do people look at it with anything other than disgust? Why shouldn't parents be allowed to sell off their children to someone if its allowed regardless as long as its planned between the mother and a stranger?

I (22F) have been with my boyfriend (23M) for almost two months. We’re both virgins, and over the past week we've tried to have sex on two separate days, but each time we've tried it’s been really painful for me (like, a burning pain. It almost feels like he's hitting a wall at the entrance) Even when he was just fingering me it would hurt at first.

The second time, we used a lot of lube since I’d been pretty dry before, and while that helped maybe marginally (it got a bit further this time and hurt a bit less), it was still painful. I’ve always had trouble inserting things (I could never use tampons) but I sorta just assumed that was normal and that sex would just somehow like, work out(?)

After reading about pelvic floor tension online, I’m starting to wonder if that could be the issue? When I’m completely relaxed, we’ve been able to get a finger in (I've tried both on my own and with him), but it’s not really consistent.

My boyfriend keeps telling me that it’s normal for it to hurt the first few times and told me he loves me and doesn’t want me to stress about it, and that we'll figure it out/it’ll get better with time, and that even if it doesn't we can do other things, but I’m still worried.

What should I do? I'm supposed to have a gynecologist appointment in January (this was the soonest possible time) but…

What's your experiences with them? Are they more prone to being excentric or mentally ill, like it is their reputation? Are you creative and weird? Are creative moids better, or actually worse than other moids?

Have you ever caught someone posting about you online? Bonus points if it was on an imageboard.

This is a general thread for imageboard discussion.

What other imageboards do you use? What is your favorite imageboard? And what imageboards did you used to use?

Thoughts on self shipping? I don't dislike it or like it, it's cute that they're happy I guess but it's still strange to me. Especially to the point where people 'marry' fictional characters. It isn't real connection, so I guess I wonder how these sorts of 'relationships' work. I say it isn't a real connection because rather than loving a whole person with flaws and interests, that you have to coexist with, you only love the image of them that you have in your mind. I don't know if there are any studies on whether or not it's unhealthy or not so for now I'm on the fence about having any firm beliefs. I have also had obsessions in certain characters but never to the point where I 'married' them
