Yes, women do very much enjoy sex. Pleasure and pain can be mixed in enjoyable ways during sex, but no, it is not normal to experience pain during sex, nor is it required. You have to be lubricated enough. At the doctor, they will use their own lubricant, but having a stranger examine you is one of the least sexy experiences out there, and they use a somewhat sharp, cold metal instrument to stretch and hold you open beyond what inserting a penis would do. So it is not surprising that it hurts and is uncomfortable. Sticking something inside yourself "cold" with no buildup or sexual desire will have a similar effect. It is not a pocket. Note that

A few things:

Since it appears you have not had sex before and don't use sex toys very much, you probably still have your hymen intact. This is a membrane that will eventually be torn by inserting something. Sometimes this is a bit painful, sometimes it bleeds, sometimes you don't even notice. Once that is out of the way, you should be good to go.

Key word being "should". It is always possible that you have a condition such as vaginismus, which causes unusual pain. If so, there are types of physical therapy that can help or overcome it. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned. Tip: you may want to bring a man with you, even if it is your dad. Vagina stuff is often not taken seriously by doctors. It is dumb but I don't make the rules, just stating facts.but

"This is a movie I am interested in watching". That's what you need to know.

As previously mentioned, I do not have a dog in this fight. I do not personally care if my distros has it or doesn't have it. A lot of distros use systemd because they like it. If you don't like systemd, you can use something else. If systemd starts to get really bad for some reason, less people will use it. That is the circle of life, and why open source works as a self correcting economy.

Also, like... I do prefer to be up to date for gaming & optimizations from gaming focused distros. But if I am being honest, the single digit percent increases are not that noticeable vs something like MX Linux.

The effort required is to install a distro without it. That's it. Some without it are even quite popular, like MX Linux.

Clarification: I don't care either way about systemd, just saying, it requires no effort to avoid.

And by "it", you mean fascism.

My favorite is when I go pspspspspsp to my dog and he comes over for cuddles.

No but really, if we're talking full exclusives, Ridge Racers 2 is pretty much all the good stuff about the old RR series but with better graphics and most of the content from all games. If we're talking non exclusives (sometimes the best version though), Final Fantasy IV, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, Final Fantasy Tactics WoTL, and Tactics Ogre, Let US Cling Together are pretty top tier

Fucking finally, Jesus Christ

You're right, I just don't understand that mentality though. You don't have to stop using FB Messenger immediately if people you know use it. If you want something better though, you have to start using other products, and eventually it will be big enough that you can ditch Messenger. Plus I'm actively asking you to message me on Signal, so just do it. What is the problem? I have apps that I actively dislike and are bad for privacy, like Snapchat for example, solely for one person, just because they're busy and prefer it and I care about them and keeping in contact. Why do so few people seem to do the same for Signal, even when they complain about the mainstream apps?

I haven't had any issues 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess video calls are occasionally choppy when I call a friend in another country who has bad internet. But yeah, that's just going to be the case on that situation.

I don't know why, but I've gotten more resistance for suggesting that than Linux. Switched my wife to Linux no problem, another girl I know was like "do you really think it will run on my laptop with a Celeron? I will look into it." IT people I work with are like "yeah Microsoft sucks but I'm not ready".

People get REALLY comfortable with their shitty proprietary apps though, even tech literate people. I'm not even including stuff like Adobe which are great and people have spent years using processionally. I mean like Signal, which is functionally the same as any other messaging app and takes two seconds to get up and running.

No

But then the only use case is if you literally take someone's phone, switch the default SMS app to Signal, and they don't know how to switch it back themselves. If they're that tech illiterate, they'll probably call you for tech support as to why text isnt working, instead of switching to Signal. And even if they then agree to do it your way, the mythical user you described is no longer mythical, it is easier to make a mistake in the Ui for someone tech illiterate. You will often see a person's phone number in their Signal profile, after all, it's not unthinkable.

Also, as time goes on, more people start using Signal as more people see how fascist some governments are getting and how intense social engineering is with spam calls/texts/whatnot. I know a random 60 year old bus driver who switched to Signal and made other privacy changes like turning on Safari's relay because her accounts got hacked and she was using the same password for everything. To someone that is blind Googling something they don't have context for, Signal is a trusted encrypted app, therefore anything I send through Signal should be trusted. I don't think it is as impossible as you think. And again, to what benefit? There is some benefit to prevent Google possibly scanning your messages, but there are also plenty of other SMS apps which can avoid this, if it is avoidable at all.
