If that skunk is Pepe Le Pew from Looney Toons, you could paint a white stripe on a female cat & Pepe would use clogne  |

| I read your post again. I think the answer to your question is, don't "mask" but don't say anything about autism. Most people misunderstand the concept, but try to do your share of making the next date enjoyable. I mean consider whether he's enjoying the date and whether you're contributi... |

| I think it's normal for people to try to hide their flaws in the early stages of dating. They gradually let their flaws show as they spend time together hoping a bond is developing that will make things work out with their partner. I don't think of that & hiding various autistic traits in the da... |

A great bonus is that the pink ranger was always hot :mrgreen: I started missing lots of eps for a couple years before that because I got home from school late & then Fox quit airing it :( I never saw anything about it on TV again for about 20 years till N... |

I sure know that poor mental health can make it a LOT harder to focus & function. Psych meds have been a huge help to me for... |

| Does the urge to self-harm happen after you start masturbating or does it happen at the same time that you want to masturbate? If the urge happens while your masturbating & the self-harm is very dangerous or majorly distressing you, I'll suggest masturbating less for now but I know that can some... |

PMs being placed in the Outbox till they are read is is an extra folder that some members are not familiar with. I remember MANY years ago I was co... |

It's amazing they work at all. I have lot... |
