Article title > The Wim Hof Method: Boost Your Health with the Iceman’s Technique

www.healthline.com/health/wim-hof-method

Article summary > It seems that Wim Hof method breathing allows conscious control of one's immune system, promotes antiinflammation, reduces anxiety and creates neurotransmittors in one's brain. It requires only the ability to breathe and relax.

Paraphrased additional safety precaution from Wim Hof > It's safest to do so laying or sitting down where you won't get hurt or drown from falling over.

Personal experiences summarized > The beginner's guided breathing video- doing so as instructed has always gone fine without incident since starting three years ago. Another guided breathing video titled "Breathe Along with Wim Hof"- this is a more advanced breath exercise. When trying to do it for the third time in a row without even a minute between the exercise, I have sometimes fallen unconscious for ten seconds.

Cold shower experince summarized > Been doing so for 5 years, most often for the past year. it's all about breath control, deep and steady, to make it go well. Singing is ok. I stop if and when shivering starts. Apparently they lower cortisol levels in the brain- there's at least one article saying so. At the start, when breathing as described, there is a sensation of some kind of fluid going out of my brain and down my spine, followed by a sense of ease and relaxation.


Did we read the same article? It specifically states that the autoimmune control, and anti-inflammatory aspects are not backed up by science.

That said, breathing exercises have long been proven a good source of stress management. Doing this won't hurt you, but it's not going to do everything it claims to do.

Chastity cage

Soloperiporno:
So, I know that this is a bit of an off topic, but I would like to ask if anyone around my weight (100 kgs) is into 24/7 chastity: I really like the idea of bringin my metal cage "out of the bedroom", but today I found at my expenses that it can be a pretty dreadful experience. Locking my balls in a frontal exposed position, with no possibility of retracting, left them subject to constant chafing with my chubby thighs, which after a bit of mid paced walk made them burn like hell. Not to mention, the urethral plug was consantly pushed inwards by my jeans, which are becoming tighter, causing a lot of discomfort.
I was wondering if you usually prepare in a particular way for outdoor chastity or if you use a different cage for different situations.


You might have better luck asking this question on a kink-specific BDSM site instead of a feedist site.

Haircuts and such

HappyBigBelly:
Wondering how I can encourage her to keep going wild with shorter and shorter hair without pushing too hard? I am so seriously excited at the thought of her with a short, tight buzzed ‘do or maybe just shaving it bald and see what happens :-)

ForeverFFA:
I don't think that asking her if she'd be up for that would hurt.


Nope. Asking never hurts. Just make sure you respect her answer.

Haircuts and such

HappyBigBelly:

Recently, she’s cut it a bit shorter to where it’s poofier in the back bit crunchy due to all the goop she puts in it to accentuate her curls. She’s mentioned keeping it short forever, which is surprisingly fine with me.

LoraDayton:
You do understand she is a whole person and not your personal doll to dress? Like seriously, this isn't that hard. "[wife's name], I just wanted to share how much your current hairstyle really suits you! What are your thoughts about it? Have you thought about any other styles in the future? Would you be open to suggestions or ideas I have?"

Instead of manipulating your partners, fucking talk to them and ask them things. It's not that hard.

HappyBigBelly:
You always play the same note :-) At least the trumpet still works, I guess.


She's not wrong tho.

Man I'd have cussed my partner out so hard if he tried to "encourage" me to straighten out my hair just because he likes it that way.

Beer bellies

Nothing wrong with enjoying beer. But go too hard and some of that belly might end up being an enlarged liver.

Haircuts and such

HappyBigBelly:
Hi everyone :-) We all post here a lot about our partners’ body type, but today the subject is hair. And what looks good on certain body types.

For the majority of my wife’s adult life, she’s had fairly long hair, with mainly a thin, straight texture to it once it grows to a certain length. She had cut it short many years ago, before we knew each other, and it brought out a much curlier texture.

I’ve always been mainly a “long hair guy” when it comes to my favorite style on her. But her decision to cut it short again recently hasn’t turned out as bad as I thought it would. Think Lily from the AT&T commercials, hairstyle-wise. It was long enough to be “present” but much easier to deal with for her. (At 330 pounds as she is, it got harder for her over time to do certain maneuvers, such as putting it up).

Recently, she’s cut it a bit shorter to where it’s poofier in the back bit crunchy due to all the goop she puts in it to accentuate her curls. She’s mentioned keeping it short forever, which is surprisingly fine with me. She’s mentioned styles that I didn’t used to think looked good on larger women, but I could even imagine her looking great with a buzzcut or just shaving her entire head and starting over. I guess it’s because I end up loving everything she tries, even if I don’t at first.

You don't. You let her decide what she wants and support her. You can throw out the idea and see what she thinks. But ultimately it's up to her.

I've got natural hair. My partner likes it natural, but he loves it when I straighten and show off my length. I don't mind it straight, but it's a lot of work to get it like that. So he's fine with it being a once in a blue moon kind of thing.

On the flip side, my partner has wavy hair. He prefers to keep it high and tight, but prefer it when it gets a little long. He doesn't like it when it gets all fluffy and wavy. However, sometimes he'll wait a little while between cuts because he knows I like it.

Practical fat habits

Littlemon:
Having dessert after every meal and drinking soda instead of water
GOMAD (Gallon of milk a day) is also great
Boost VHC helps, too


They said practical. This is not practical. This will make you sick and you'll end up tapping out before you reach your full potential.

That said, wear clothes that you can comfortably expand in. Bonus points if they obscure your gain. You'll be able to eat more, keep your clothes for longer, and feel more comfortable gorging yourself often.
