Updates:
1. My weight loss and muscle/strength gains have leveled off a bit. I'm still doing both, but not at that super accelerated rate...the last bits of fat and major muscle building take time, even with chemical assistance. I've also noticed I'm doing so much cardio it may be stealing energy I need for work outs. I'm still tinkering here and there with the balance.
2. Ugh....so many salmon steaks, boiled eggs, cans of tuna, chicken and turkey breasts...aside from tuna, those three are normally 4 of my favs but after 4 months, I'm starting to go cra' cra' up in this mofo. lol
3. My wife still can't keep her hands off of me. Every time we pass each other just walking around the house, or when we are out, she has to stop and squeeze my arms or rub my chest. It makes me feel like a Super Hero. There's only a few things I can think of that give me a better feeling. (although if you read down to the bottom you'll see rubbing my chest is about all she can do right now!)
Now for a horrific, or perhaps serious shadenfreude for others, story about "manscaping".
I am a physically big guy. I have some body hair, but I'm definitely not "hairy". I've got a little on the chest, a bit of a treasure trail, I can grow full facial hair if I want to. Basically, my Sherwood's forest has gotten a little to unkempt over the years and I was greatly disappointed in it. I'm...proportioned properly for my size, so it's not like the forest was hiding Robin or his two Merry Boys, but it just looked way to 70's for my new sleek physique. So first I used a trimmer just to get things under control. It looked WAY better. Like notably better...only my wife said "he" looks too intimidating now that everything is in view (which was hardly an insult to me!) Anyway...so I started reading up on what bodybuilders use. I was also interested in finding something for my face and head now that I like to keep my head bald all the time.
I've shaved my head and face with a good razor for years, but I get some shaving bumps on one side of the lower part of my face that drives me nuts and gives my wife stubble burn. I was hoping a cream like a Nair was avail for mens faces/heads as well as bikini area/pubes.
I ended up reading about a bunch of products and shoppers reviews and decided to order Magic Hair Removal Powder in Extra Strength as well as their Gold cream product to try them. My wife agreed to let me be her gardener (nummy!)
She went first about a week and a half ago. It turned out FUCKING AMAZING! Damn...I'm like an artist! Both of us were really happy with the results.
My turn was this past Saturday Night...luckily I applied mine after getting laid early in the morning and after getting a late afternoon BJ...because...I had a SEVERE reaction to this product. I mean SEVERE! Like nothing I'd read anywhere. First of all...I have some allergies and have had chemical reactions to hair dye in the past (although the ingredients were not the same). But I did the 24 test on my leg and it cleaned the hair straight off without stubble and worked like a charm.
Anyway...the cream was applied...it then turns to sort of a stucco type texture. It stays on for 6-9 min, but because it took so long to apply it was on much longer than that...maybe 14 min total. By minute 3 it was burning in one spot on my right nut...but I had read many people got tingling and slight burning. By minute 4 it was more intense and the left one started hurting. I have a high tolerance for pain so I basically said "bring it on". At about the 8 minute mark it felt like someone had taken a pin, held it under a lighter for a minute, then repeatedly stabbed both of my balls, particularly the right one and the pain and fire were starting to spread up the left side of my shaft! FFS WHat did I do!!!????
I jumped up and ran to the shower...
When we did my wife, we covered her and then I used a tool to scrape everything off when the time was up...then you shower up and you're all clean and shaven. When I ran in to the shower, she immediately started scraping and I could see fucking BLOOD! I can take pain, but seeing what appeared to be my nut sack, covered in grey drying clay, with blood seeping through the cracks in the clay...I seriously almost fainted. I told my wife to "get the fuck out of here, NOW!" because I really, really didn't want her to see what I'd just seen. It was a fucking horror show for sure.
So there I was in the shower, slowly scraping away at skin that was so chemically irritated that it could barely stand the breeze of the air let alone a scraping tool. Every time I scraped I could see more bright red that looked like blood, but I had no choice, the longer it stayed on the worse it was getting and other areas of less concern were starting to burn. I gritted my teeth and just fucking went to town scraping. At one point, I literally thought I saw part of my scrotum scrape off and hit the shower floor. I can't even articulate what that felt/looked like. I was basically preparing myself for a very embarrassing incredibly painful hospital journey.
I managed to get everything off and it hurt worse than before. It looked like blood, but it was actually really red blood vessels that looked ready to blow, in between all the wrinkles of my scrotum would be this blood look. My penis, which decided to get fully erect during this process (because of the Testosterone it's quite normal) I was able to look in the bathroom mirror at what the bottom of it looked like by holding it up even higher and the right side was completely skin colored while the entire left side from nuts to head was as red as rudolph's fucking nose!
I was in so much pain for the first 3 days I had to go through about a dozen ice packs a day and I tried several ointments including Polysporyn w/Lidocaine. The lidocaine seemed to help at first so I told my wife to apply it everywhere in and large amounts, which she did. An hour later my entire dick was numb! It stayed that way for about an hour then started to tingle really weird, by this time my wife was getting ready to head to the hospital. I decided to wait another hour to see if it got better. I ended up using Penaton Cream, it worked great! I'm all healed up now 100% (thankfek!)
