Husband says his sex drive is low as he's not sexually attracted to my body now 36F post kid, compared to 8 years ago.

Throw away account. Warning: It's long and rambling.

I'm looking for advice and a place to vent. I 36F have been with my husband 39M for almost 9 years, married 4yrs. We met through a shared interest in health and fitness back when I had time to work out 5x week and obsess about my diet. Fast forward to getting married, both having demanding careers and having a 3 year old (with my struggles to lose the baby weight and PPD along the way) and I'm finally feeling myself again. I've lost a lot of the baby weight (with a few kilos to go to get back to pre pregnancy weight). I take much better care of myself with my hair, make up, clothes (I had completely lost how to dress myself nicely) and I'm about a size 6 in US clothing (I was a size 4), and still look slim and proportionate in terms of my height to weight. I'm happier and more confident with the way I feel and look, and I've noticed a lot more attention from some of the men around me (male dominated work environment).

With the boost in confidence I've noticed an uptick in my libido, it's as high as it was in my teens. Unfortunately our sex life has always been a bone of contention (pun unintended) after the honeymoon phase of dating wore off and we've never got to the core of why or fixed it long term. Before, my libido was very much in the middle and peaked and troughed around my menstrual cycle. His has always been low, he never complained about the lack of sex unlike me. Now there's a complete mis-match in both drive and interests. He has no kinks, and no interest to try new things or interesting in reading how to make things spicier in the bedroom. I feel as though I'm constantly learning new tips to be better for him and me and I want to be more adventurous. I've been explicit on what I want and tbf he has listened to some of what I have suggested and generally goes with the flow. But I feel like it's me doing all the research and management on the group project.

Now to the problem. During our last discussion about our (lack of) sex life my husband suggested that he thinks one of the reasons he has a low sex drive is because he 'may not be sexually attracted' to me. On further questioning he said he thought I was beautiful but had a preference for a different body type (he has stated previously he's not a boobs/ass man but into women with slim torso's/abs - think fitness models). I am petite with a small waist, hips and a big butt. I have only once or twice had ab definition in the past, and

[Collars] Which is best. First Greyhound 😬

Hi, my first post of probably many. We will soon be bring home our first greyhound, so we want to get some bits and pieces in order before our boy arrives. So a bone of contention (pun intended) seems to be collars, either a Martingale or a traditional leather one??? Also would crate training for night time sleeping, safe space in the day be a good way to go. We are in the UK and I’ve seen opinions differ across the pond on some issues. I know all dogs are different and respond differently also but don’t want to make any rookie errors before we start. Looking forward to the adventure. By the way he is a 4 year old ex racer, in case it makes a difference? 😁

I (16M) just finished 2001: A Space Odyssey. I am perplexed and contentedly bewildered at this incredible film.

Let's start at the beginning, my experience with "true film" is not nearly as keen as others on this sub, heck it was only a few months ago when I jumped into this rabbit-hole. In the short journey that I have had, I have viewed some legendary films such as Citizen Kane, Dr. Strangelove, Sunset Boulevard, Nosferatu, and my personal favorite, Vertigo. I love ,not only viewing movies, but also reading about it, sort of studying it, and even ranking it among others I have seen. 2001: A Space Odyssey was a movie that was on my watchlist from the first day I made it. I had wanted to see the film because of its apparent greatness, but it took me a long time to finally get my hands on a copy. I thought I was going to watch a Star-Wars-like, action-sci-fi movie, but it would soon become apparent that I was in for an movie experience like none other.

While watching the first half of the movie I was, in complete honesty, very bored. The characters were bland, and so was the bizarre plot. I found the very slow pacing to be the worst part, it's sort of a pet peeve of mine when they mess that up. Part of me couldn't wait for it to end. The one thing going for it was the stunning, ahead-of-its-time visuals. They were pretty much the only thing that kept me from turning off the movie and doing something more productive. I was shocked that people liked the movie that much, and was sort of disappointed in myself for not enjoying it. Something was just not clicking and it bothered me.

At the intermission I had come to the conclusion that maybe 2001 wasn't the film for me, but I told myself to just TRY to enjoy it. Then something changed, the cogs in my head started to turn. I began to just accept the movie for what it is, and not to compare it to any others I had seen. I found watching the movie to be ten times better than before. The characters, strange plot, and slow pacing didn't annoy me anymore. I just accepted 2001 as an experience, whether how strange or slow it was. The ending scene made no sense in the best way possible. As the credits rolled, I just sat on my couch, blown-away at whatever the heck I just watched, already thinking about the next time I would watch it again.

2001: A Space Odyssey was an movie that grew on me the more I watched it, in extreme fashion. It was beautifully bizarre and one of a kind. Stanley Kubricks signature style was very apparent and made for a viewing I will continue to go back to in the future. Many dont like 2001, and I fear

I just don't get why power armor is so vulnerable to poison. It doesn't make sense that you're better off with a "poisoner's leg" instead of being in a self-contained environment contentedly breathing your own farts.

While legendary parts sound cool, it'd also be nice just to have more mods (especially for arms), and mods that do more than one thing.
