Talc does a pretty decent job for me. I still get sweat circles but more normal ones and not so embarrassing. You can either use baby powder or deodorants/antiperspirants with talc in their ingredients (Borotalco comes to mind, idk if it wxists where you live). Also, if you are using spray deodorant/antiperspirant, change to stick/solid. Seriously, I have been using spray for years, tons of it tbh and all different brands, and none of them helped a bit. Once I changed to solid I use way less deodorant/antiperspirant and it's much more effective (both with odor and amount of sweat).

I will also agree with the aluminium chloride, altho I have never tried it personally, I have heard it by many as a solution.

Acne by itself is not bad, it's just a natural thing that happens to many people during adolescent and sometimes even after that. The thing is, it can really look gross if you don't take care of it. I'm not necessarily talking about prescription ointments etc tho. Sometimes even washing your face with warm water and a mild soap every morning can make your acne stop looking horrible, even if it's an extreme case that covers your entire face. Seriously, think about it, we have probably all met a lot of people with acne, and on some it looks horribly oily and disgusting, while on others we don't really mind, even if it covers their entire face. It's pretty much the same as long hair or full beards: if you don't take at least minimal care of it, it will look disgusting. So yeah, altho I have been there and I am 100% against the stigma on people who suffer from acne (cause it's not someone's fault, it just hormones getting crazy), I will still judge someone who doesn't wash their face at least once a day). In other words, I don't shame people for having acne, but I will shame someone for being a filthy face.

I might sound like a daddy from the 80s-90s, but I only trust Old Spice, and that's only in solid form. After years of trying to find a deodorant that doesn't irritate my skin, I found out one that actually feels good AND has a great scent (as opposed to Axe/Lynx or Str8 that are the spawns of hell and should be illegal imho).

Sometimes I will use talc (baby powder) too, it does a great job with reducing perspiration.

@DamaDama:

i just love him!! i love all his songs and i love him

you forgot to ask a question

Apparently not the whole world smokes weed the same way, I found out about this quite recently and I was kinda shocked tbh.
I live in Europe and it's pretty much a practice here to smoke weed mixed with tobacco (usually hand rolling tobacco). I then realized people in the US and Canada usually don't mix it with tobacco at all; in fact it's considered weird to do so. In Europe it would be considered extremely rare and strange to smoke it pure. Different cultures I guess (also saving money: mixing with tobacco means less weed per joint aka weed lasts longer). Haven't tried to smoke it pure yet, but I know it has some differences from Euro-joints, mostly an altered taste (mixed joints are spicier(?)) and a different effect (mixed will hit you right away).

How about you guys? How do you prefer it? :cool2:

*Disclaimer: tbh I'm referring just to joints, that means no paraphernalia (bongs, hookahs, etc)

I don't have any Muslim friends personally (just didn't happen I guess) but my family does :s) they are really cool people, srsly, don't be a shitty person (that doesn't target OP, it's for anyone who is prejudiced against Muslim people)

OF COURSE!! It's not real Xmas/Yule unless your entire house smells like a forest ::) ::)

tpbm is attracted to young Bruce Springsteen :-[

Not really tbh… Altho I like any cock, I find foreskin extremely attractive and sexy (and you can play with it in a million ways >:D)

TPBM has the bad habit of hoarding

Another thing I have worked on is changing my entertainment.
Until recently I would usually consider a rad Saturday night to include a nightclub, a few drinks, etc. I don't do that anymore (and in case I do, it's rare). I realized that you don't really have to spend a lot of money to have fun, as soon as you are with the right people. Movies at home, board games, party games, dinner at home with friends, or just beers on a public place (yes, it is permitted in some countries) are all good, as soon as you learn to entertain yourself with the small things ;D ;D

@Domosuke:

I have very few friends and family who I'm able to keep in contact with. I'm also single and god hasn't blessed me with a boyfriend yet sadly, so I don't go out to fancy restaurants that often. So that saves money with that.

I also go online and read what's on sale at the stores and usually only buy stuff on sale. Like I'll only buy shrimp or really expensive food if it's on sale or on special.

I don't shop at high end clothing stores at all. I'm not a big fan of jewelry and wouldn't wear any unless it's sentimental or belonged to a deceased loved one etc. I don't buy shoes which cost more than a hundred dollars. I don't care. They are just shoes.

I very rarely I shop at specialty retail stores. I mostly go to department and closeout stores for clothes. Also sometimes I go to thrift stores.

I don't buy brand new electronics anymore. My phone is a couple years old and to some people it's obsolete but I'm not upgrading it anytime soon. My computer I've had for a while, but again I have no complaints. I have backup harddrives and junk. I just got over a bad video game addiction which I'm glad to have conquered. I don't need that shit in my life.

I take public transportation quite often. Not that I don't like driving, it's just much cheaper than gas and you get to meet more people if that's your thing.

I can relate to all of those pretty much:

Restaurants: I don't believe in fancy restaurants. Seriously, I see no difference between a regular restaurant and a top-class restaurant. Maybe it's because I grew up in Greece, where most actually "good" restaurants are small, traditional family restaurants etc, but I won't enjoy a meal if it costs tons, no matter how good it tastes like. I would prefer to buy a huge pile of noodles and sesame chicken and spring rolls at my local, often called "crap" asian bistro than go to a fancy place where they ask you to pay for breathing. BISTROS FOR EVER.

Sales: I was taught by my mum to never buy anything that is at eye-level on the shelves of a grocery store. Biggest deals as well as minor brands, discounts, and generic brand products that cost way less than the major brand are usually on the top or bottom shelves. Seriously, TRY IT. It saves you a LOT if you buy generic brand, and especially in some products it doesn't even make a difference. Like, seriously now, who needs top brand toilet paper??

Clothes: I also rate stores (and brands) a lot. The first time I get something from a store or a brand, I will see how good the quality is and how comfortable the clothes are for me and either blacklist or whitelist this shop/brand. Then, next time I go shopping, I will straight up go to the places that sell clothes that I like and that are actually worth the money. Even if it costs a little bit more, at least I know it's gonna be in my closet for a little bit longer than the (usually "top" brand) shitty counterpart. Thrift stores are a HUGE thing where I live and I'm actually fascinated of them. Like, I don't shop in thrift stores only because it's cheaper, but also because of the entire experience. It's really cool to search through piles and piles of used clothes and then suddenly find a piece of clothing you actually like (and it's often unique!). It's like treasure hunt and we all like treasure hunt! Also, the quality of some clothes in thrift stores is truly amazing, since you can sometimes find the really good quality high-end brand that you wouldn't otherwise buy for a fraction of the normal price. Last but not least, the uniqueness of the clothes as well as the fact that some look old fashioned / retro  is a plus, since you rarely find people that are dressed exactly like you!

Electronics: It's actually a pet peeve of mine when I see people buying a new phone every six months or so. My phone has a cracked screen but other than it still works perfectly fine, I'm not gonna waste my money to replace something that is not actually broken.

Public Transport: A MILLION TIMES YES! I grew up in a family where no one is a driver (technically my dad is but he had a terrible accident years ago and has developed a phobia of driving since then) so I always related to public transport, or friends/etc. Biking is a good alternative too, and it's really good for your health and fitness! Walking is also free and, seriously, why do you have to drive to a place that is 3 squares away? *Disclaimer: it might seem really odd to some people here that no one in my family drives but it's pretty common where I live. People do have cars but may only use them for trips or longer distances etc. Oh, and also, there is usually only one car for the entire family cause there is no need for more.

@randome wow this is a really good review, I never thought someone would recommend it so much!

As for shipping, I live in the middle of Europe and shipping takes a long time anyways. Like, even if I buy something from the UK it will arrive in 2 weeks. So, I'm kinda used to that. I will give Ali a try soon, they seem to have way better deals and also a wider variety! ;D

Totally ;D ;D

TPBM is living in a landlocked country.

Yeah, most of the time I will use lube only when using my toys.

TPBM has/wants a nipple piercing. Also digs it on other guys.

@hotarabicguy:

i bought few things from it same quality as ebay ( cheap stuff breaks after a while)
if your using pay pal u have nothing to be afraid of

but aliexpress is not accepting paypal (as far as I know at least), this is why I'm asking.

Do you have any tricks you do to save money? We are not necessarily talking big, just little stuff that you can change in your daily routine that may save you a few bucks or so! It might seem stupid by I always got excited over stuff like this so I wanted to start a discussion about it, it's pretty useful to people that really need to save every little bit they can (e.g. college students) ::)

Here are a few of the things I do that save me quite a bit:

1. I roll my cigarettes instead of buying a packet, it's far cheaper and also tasted better (a good solution for people like me who won't quit smoking but don't like spending $5 dollars every day on buying cancer in a packet)

2. I cut my hair on my own. I pretty much started doing this after I moved to this small town here: they have only one hairdresser and a huge waiting list since she is alone against everyone, sometimes I had to wait more than a month to get an appointment and I couldn't bare this anymore. So I got myself a pair of clippers, started doing the basic, "safe" buzzcut on my own. Same guard the whole head. Started with a little longer, now I do it almost to the skin. And people say it looks pretty good on me too

3. I stopped using shampoo and bodywash and went back to the basic bar soap. It's way cheaper than bottled soap, and also better for your skin, especially if you get irritations by liquid bodywash and you don't know why. I also use it on my hair (since I don't have much of it as I said above) so it's 2 in 1 and works perfectly. Also, bar soap is much more convenient than the liquid one when traveling. No spilling!!

4. I use stick deodorant. Seriously, DO THAT. I used to overuse back when I was buying the spray one, just because I thought it wasn't enough. The stick lasts longer, does a better job with both odor and sweat amount (at least in my case), and is environmentally friendlier.

5. I get myself loyalty cards, whenever and wherever possible. Most places will have member-only discounts, and also send coupons to you via mail every month or so. Some coupons are totally useless to me, but some are pretty useful!

Might remember more once this discussion keeps going (hopefully :-[)
So, how about you? Do you have any money-saving tricks and tips? Share!

I never use lube while masturbating (I'm uncut too, altho I don't really precum, idk)
I just got stuck with dry wanks and just went with it I guess…
Sometimes I will use spit, works pretty fine and it's free ::)

During sex or with sex toys I always used water-based lubes, sometimes the cheaper (also, scented) version. Not a good choice tbh. Water-based lubes dry pretty quickly, making things pretty painful if you are working with a big dick or a decent sized toy. It also get's too sticky after it dries, like glue that hasn't dried completely yet, and that's really annoying if you have a hairy butthole. Moreover, if the lube comes in contact with tiny cuts (which are normal, we all have them) it stings badly (ESPECIALLY THE FLAVORED/SCENTED TYPE)

I bought my first silicon-based lube a few days ago, after a friend recommended this as a really good solution to my problem. I haven't tried it yet but well, he works in a sex shop for years, and is also a huge fan of big toys, I guess he knows what he is talking about!!

May update once I try it!

**Do you guys find silicon-based lube in supermarkets etc? Cause where I live they only sell water-based in regular stores and it's a bummer since sex shops are pretty expensive here. Luckily I managed to find silicon-based lube in a shop with cosmetics, etc for a pretty good price!! Do you guys have similar problems?

Has any of you guys ever bought something from AliExpress? I like that they are far cheaper than eBay, and they also have a wider variety of sex toys and gear (among other stuff). Do you trust it?

I would do it but I would prefer getting real dirty: mud, motor oil, etc >:D >:D

TPBM likes men with shaved heads (either really close cut or razor shaved)

Definitely not. not that I will shame anyone who has it tho, it's just that saran wrap disgusts me no matter how it is used (I will not even use it on food, I prefer aluminum foil).

TPBM prefers casual bars or pubs over nightclubs

Honestly, although I have never done it, I would be so up for it!! ESPECIALLY LINGERIE!! And especially for a really hot, hairy, masc daddy dom I happen to be a member of a few kink-related private groups on facebook and some of the sub twink members will occasionally post selfies of themselves dressed in girl's panties, lace, stockings, fishnets, etc… it's SUPER HOT!! Might actually try it once I meet my dom again (LDR, he lives in a different country).

As for womens clothes in general, hmmmm, all I can say is that sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl so I can wear tons of floral dresses and big hats. Nothing sexual, they are just extremely aesthetically pleasing to me! Might try drag someday, who knows

TPBM owns a "pleasure box" (a box or other container full of sex toys, gear, and anything to make the night crazy >:D)
