Hanging injury cause I didn't close the door

[cladre60]

We've got 3 cats and they're 3 different sizes. I thought I'd give hanging a try and since there wasn't any readily available weights I grabbed the smallest cat. She's tiny, barely 10lbs if even that much.

I used her cat harness which after she wears it for half an hour she's totally comfy. The cat was not hurt in this endeavor in any way.

I hook her up to the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?83577-Length-master-official-order-thread-now-shipping-06-16-2014!!!]LM[/words] and she's hanging just below my knees. She had a couple WTF type meows but when I talked to her she calmed down. Well her meows brought one of the other cats, the cat she hates. This is when it all went wrong.

She started swatting and hissing but the other cats aren't scared of her. Next thing I know she's doing a full on attack while swinging like a trapeze artist. My legs suffered the attack. I'm clawed up like crazy. Still don't know how I managed to unclip her without causing more damage to myself.

Now I can't wear shorts for a week since my lower legs look like I rolled around in thorn bushes and it's going to be really hot this week.

So yeah, shut the door when you hang. Don't want one cat pissing off the other.

Very creative use of your cat.

They lay around most of the time anyway so I figured it'd be pretty easy.

I have a visual image of this endeavor and I can't help but lmao. Not to find comedy in your pain clad but this would be a great adult cartoon. Got to give you props for using what you can find

Though you hurt yourself but it is also funny. I hope this doesn't stop you from training.

My penis is fine, just my legs that are torn up. Starting to think we should've gotten the cats declawed.

Yup, thats what I did! Declawed, problem solved.

 

[Big Schwanz Acht]

jeez...where's YouTube when you need them?

 

[cladre60]

Yup, thats what I did! Declawed, problem solved.

After reading how they do it, removing part of the bone in their toes, I refuse to do that to a cat. It's cruel. Plus every declawed cat I've ever been around bites.

BigSchwanz I'm so glad there's not video. It was really embarrassing.

I'd post pics of the damage but my tattoos make me identifiable. I like to keep some anonymity on forums (I've seen people take things off of forums and into "real life" sometimes with horrific damage).

I certainly won't repeat this, at least with the door open. When they aren't fighting with each other our cats are pretty calm.

It is really not that bad, the kitty is put to sleep and when they wake up they do not know any different. My kitty kept using her paws as she did when she had claws. She did not seem traumatized in any way. There is also another solution, can't remember what they are called but basically they trim the nails and put a protective, smooth caps on the claws. This prevents the scratching and the kitty has not been hurt in anyway. They are like $15 on Amazon.

I've seen the claw caps before. I can imagine how much my cats would struggle trying to put them on.

Honestly, I envy all those people who train length and girth on the same day. I wish I can train like that. Even though I finally realized that I am able to train like that, there are days when you just feel tired at night time when it's time for girth. Once I move out from this current place I'm living in, I will try to go back to training length and girth on same day.

Using the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98 ]BM[/words] in the shower at night is pretty easy for me. I wash quick and then get in it and pump. The shower usually wakes me up again for a little while if I'm tired.

I don't usually get tired though unless I'm exhausted. I have to force myself to go to bed most nights.

Not usually. The only time I normally take my phone into the bathroom is if I'm sitting on the toilet (reading material) or if I'm waiting for a call. I can't imagine how much hell I'd catch if my wife walked into the bathroom and I've got my phone in the shower with adult entertainment on.

Yes this is a regular thing. Last night she walked in right as I was filling the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98 ]BM[/words]. Thanks to the shower curtain she didn't know what I was doing but she would notice that my phone wasn't on the couch and then wasn't on the sink. I leave it sitting around all the time. She can go through it if she wants and I know she sneaks looks at my texts or Facebook messages. Doesn't bother me. I actually give her opportunities to by leaving it around. Women and their silly insecurities.

Well, since you have a wife, watching adult entertainment while doing girth work can dangerous if you are caught.

Oh yeah, it can be a deadly situation! Well maybe not deadly but it can cause issues.

I need to let the cat out of the harness on PE again. It may create some issues at first but most of it is due to ignorance. When I got that hernia she blamed PE. She had known for 5 months or so that I was doing PE but didn't know exactly what.

She loves my current length but still doesn't get it that PE made sex better. Someday she'll understand.

I think it is also cheating on your wife, but that is my opinion.

My wife feels the same way but I disagree. I'm not obsessed with adult entertainment (outside of the recurring daydream that I went into adult entertainment after getting out of the USMC). I choose sex over masturbation and the only times I do rub one off is when we haven't been able to have sex for whatever reasons. At those times it makes jerking it more enjoyable for me just like using lube. It's also been educational as I've learned some new positions.

Just my opinion though.

I wish I can go all spiritual by staying off from ejaculation (no sex, no masturbation) until January 2019. I read somewhere where Red talked about going spiritual for now.

There's no way I could. I had a period where I was really depressed for months. Wasn't having sex, wasn't masturbating. It had been about 2 weeks with no ejaculation when I just felt uncomfortable. Decided to masturbate and felt much better physically the next day. After that I forced myself to masturbate once a week for over 2 months.

I was very high strung at that time in my life and absolutely miserable. Ejaculating would calm me down for 2-3 days. In hindsight I should've made myself do it every day or at the least every other day. It can help a lot with depression even though it's one of the last things you feel like doing.

 

[cladre60]

I understand.

Totally my opinion and I do understand why people consider it a form of cheating. Obviously I want to see a good looking woman naked and I have my favorites. It's part of a fantasy but then I come back to reality, no pun intended.

A lot of shows I watch are things I would love to experience or do. I watch a lot of car stuff and wish I had the money to build a few race cars. That's a day dream that's always on my mind.

Like anything else there's a line between enjoyment and obsession. I stick to enjoyment.

Now if I could get my wife to happily watch adult entertainment while we're having sex that would be fun. Obviously I wouldn't enjoy it if she was saying things like "I wish you had a body like his" or "damn I'd kill to have that dick the rest of my life." Of course I wouldn't make comments that would hurt her either. About the only things she'd hear from me are "can you try that BJ technique? Looks like it'd feel good" or "okay we're doing that position!"

I don't feel any guilt when I masturbate but something in my mind keeps telling me that I'm suppose to be capable to holding off sex and masturbation for at least 90 days. I wonder why none of us doing PE have not been able to hold back for that long.

Unless you've got a sex addiction or something going on with your partner I don't see a reason to abstain for that long outside of challenging yourself. I've known a few people who claimed they didn't masturbate and I called BS on all of them.

One guy I was stationed with said he'd try to hold off masturbating as long as possible so he'd eventually have sex dreams and orgasm then. It's more enjoyable but sucks waking up to a cold cum mess.

I agree. If you decide to stay off masturbation, the wet dreams will start pouring in. Masturbation is normal. As long as I don't feel any guilt whenever I masturbate, I'm fine.

Many Dems are simply leaving the party. They are a complete embarrassment at this point, they have no message but hate Trump and resist. They are now so far to the left they are talking about things like abolishing ICE, impeaching the president, calling on groups like Antifa to stage riots...the last one did not go so well for Antifa, they got their asses handed to them in Portland. I would not say this is the democrat party because I know some great democrats, this is a socialist movement driven folks who do not realize what socialism means. I am just sitting back watching the circus go on.

It already was divided in many ways. You have a divide between the rich and the poor as well as a divide between white people and everyone else. It was working though and those divides can't be solved overnight. I truly do feel for the black community of old, the ones that had to march and fight for the same basic rights everyone else had. In the last 5 decades we've made huge strides. There's more opportunity now for minorities than ever before but you still have to work for it. That's where our current generation is failing. Am I pissed that I don't own a nice house, 2 cars made in the past decade, and can't afford a family vacation once a year? Yes. Am I pissed that I have zero retirement established and only have 20-25 years to get it going? Yes. Who am I mad at? MYSELF. I'm not holding society accountable for my failings. That's where many people are wrong as they hold everyone else accountable for their failings.

There's a war starting against the white male in America. The thing is today's white male didn't create all these problems but we're being blamed. Transgender is becoming a gender. I know someone who is trans. As a girl she was molested and raped by men she trusted. Somewhere along the lines she decided that if she were a man she wouldn't experience those horrors anymore. Now she is a "gay man" complete with hormone therapy and in a committed relationship with a man. She's not trans inside, she's still running from the horrors of abuse 30+ years later. This is the reality of many trans people yet our own society is saying to embrace it. Personally I don't care what others do as long as it doesn't fuck up my life but now young boys and girls who haven't even discovered their own sexuality yet are encouraged to become the other gender after spending an afternoon playing with toys traditionally reserved for the opposite sex. Have I ever wondered what it'd feel like to have a vagina? Have I ever been jealous that women get far more pleasure from sex then men? Absolutely. But it's stopped the at just wondering and jealousy yet there's men who feel they should be a woman and now society is saying that's fine.

Ironically most of the people fighting oppression haven't ever felt it or they've manufactured it.

America is going to shit and has been for years. It's not the fault of the president no matter how much the media tries to spin it that way. These things existed before Trump and now they're being exploited and blamed on him. We've got a long way to go to heal yet instead of trying to stitch the wound we keep jabbing a knife in it. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

I made a comment to a gay friend on Facebook a while back about how hopefully some day we won't need gay pride parades and an awareness month because everything will be equal. NO ONE wanted to comment on it. Why? Because that day would end their anger, their frustration, their suffering, their inequality. On that day they wouldn't be "special" anymore but instead be like everyone else. That's the end goal but they don't seem to want it to happen. Maybe they feel they'll lose their purpose on that day. If winning the fight for your cause ends your purpose you need to rethink your life.

Personally I don't care what others do as long as it doesn't fuck up my life but now young boys and girls who haven't even discovered their own sexuality yet are encouraged to become the other gender after spending an afternoon playing with toys traditionally reserved for the opposite sex. Have I ever wondered what it'd feel like to have a vagina? Have I ever been jealous that women get far more pleasure from sex then men? Absolutely. But it's stopped the at just wondering and jealousy yet there's men who feel they should be a woman and now society is saying that's fine.

Ironically most of the people fighting oppression haven't ever felt it or they've manufactured it.

America is going to shit and has been for years. It's not the fault of the president no matter how much the media tries to spin it that way. These things existed before Trump and now they're being exploited and blamed on him. We've got a long way to go to heal yet instead of trying to stitch the wound we keep jabbing a knife in it. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

I made a comment to a gay friend on Facebook a while back about how hopefully some day we won't need gay pride parades and an awareness month because everything will be equal. NO ONE wanted to comment on it. Why? Because that day would end their anger, their frustration, their suffering, their inequality. On that day they wouldn't be "special" anymore but instead be like everyone else. That's the end goal but they don't seem to want it to happen. Maybe they feel they'll lose their purpose on that day. If winning the fight for your cause ends your purpose you need to rethink your life.

I have heard similar stories from those Nigerians I know who live in the States. I won't want to be in a place where I will be treated like a slave or a less privileged one. But life in the States is still by far better than Nigeria though.

Those who act like idiots get treated like idiots no matter what the skin color. There's areas of cities where crime rates are extremely high. Unfortunately there's a lot of racial profiling that goes on in those areas but in a high crime area everyone seems suspicious. The police don't patrol "white suburbia" like the ghetto simply because there's not as much crime. Many claim it's the color of their skin that gets police bothering them but it's mostly crime.

There's racist people everywhere including cops. You're never going to change that and some bad seeds in the police force make all of them look racist. Some cops cross the line when it comes to arrests and it continues to get noticed and disciplined. Many police departments are running cameras on their dashboard and the officers have a mic on them. Some even have cameras built into their body armor. With technology like that it's really easy to see if the cop followed procedure.

Minorities in America have more opportunity now than ever before if they're willing to work for it. When people become a product of their environment who's fault is it? If you have negative influences at home hope do we fix that? When I was a kid I lived in a mostly white middle class area. A black family from the city moved into an apartment down the street. They were included by other kids in the neighborhood right away. A few weeks after they arrived the kids caused $2k in damage to the park and baseball field. They weren't blamed because they were the only black kids in the area, they were blamed because they got caught. The family was evicted less than 6 months after they arrived because the apartment was unliveable due to all the damage they caused and repeated involvement with police because of the constant excessive noise extremely late at night. They had extremely bad influences at home and from their previous environment and weren't ready to change even when put in a place that had amazing opportunities they didn't have before. They didn't have to change who they were, they simply needed to have respect for their community.

Some people would excel given that same situation. Sadly that's not the case a lot of the time. How do you fix that? I don't think anyone has the answer.

No matter where you go you must adapt to the environment. Doesn't matter what color skin you have.
