Will continual exposure to chlorinated pools affect a healed tattoo?

laughingwithkafka · 11 days

So here's my hypothesis: It shouldn't. Here's why I think that:

Tattoos are ink placed in the dermis (layer of skin below the epidermis). Discovery Health article to back me up: http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/skin-and-lifestyle/tattoo.htm

This layer of skin is fairly well protected from pretty much everything (minus a few chemicals, the chlorine compound they use in pools is not one of them), but UV rays can travel through the top layer of skin and make it to the dermis (this is what causes sunburn/can eventually lead to skin cancer). This is what also causes aging and fading in tattoos.

So essentially, I think that based on the above evidence, I don't think that the chlorinated water will make it through the epidermis to the dermis to affect your tattoos. I think your tattoos should be safe from the pool water.

However, I'm not a doctor or tattoo expert.

Amazing! Although, I'm actually partial to how it looked before the color (I like black&white for some reason).

I took Junel (now I take the generic of it: Microgestin because I couldn't afford the name brand).

With the pills, so long as you take them regularly (same time each day/don't miss any) you won't ovulate at all. The point of birth control is it kind of tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant (hormonally) so you don't ovulate.

And actually (according to my doctor) the day most women get pregnant when on the pill is the last day of their period - because you've been "off" the effective pills for a whole week, and for some women with particularly strong hormones, they can ovulate in this time. So she suggested that I not go the whole 7 days, so I only do 4 days of the non-effective pills. My period only lasts two days anyway. PLEASE keep in mind that this is only what my doctor told me. I have not read it anywhere online.

Basically, calendar method is null and void on the pill.

I'm a female, I was at military training over the summer. As females, we got these ridiculous shower trailers while in the field - which are exactly what they sound like. A trailer with about 4 showers in them. We shared these 4 showers between about 50 females. So girls have a nasty habit of timing each other, and if you go over 4 minutes someone's coming in to throw you out.

Keep in mind that we were living in open tents with about 20 people (including guys) so masturbation at night is not possible.

So, It's been a good month since I masturbated. I'm going nuts. And on this particular day, I wasn't that dirty from the field, so I decided to use my shower time to masturbate. A race to the finish! Could I do it in less than 4 minutes?

Well, as it turns out, no, I couldn't. My 4 minutes were up and my timer came in to get me, but I was so close that I didn't hear her coming in.

She got pissed, told everyone (I WAS cutting into her shower time, so I totally understand). Since we were in the field and nobody had anything else better to do (besides, you know, TRAINING) I was the platoon laughing stock for about a day, and jokes kept happening randomly for the rest of the month.

Also, about 10 guys came up to me wanting to talk about sex. Not sex with me, just sex in general. Tips, etc. It was like I became the sexpert (but only secretly! No guys wanted other guys to know that they needed sex tips).

So I'm going to probably go on a rather long rant here, apologies in advance.

I have an anxiety disorder (diagnosed) in which basically anything and everything gives me anxiety at some level (example: My boyfriend left the car window down and went inside to get something. Immediately, I started freaking out that someone would steal the car with me in it - completely irrational, but it's what my brain thinks of). This relates, I promise.

So with all this anxiety, of course I had anxiety about having a threesome. It was so bad at times that I threw up. He was going to like her more than me, he would leave me for her, etc. Everything you describe.

But I made myself go through with it (because, despite the anxiety I really did want it - just like I went skydiving even though I was curled up in a rocking-ball for about a day before hand - you can't stop doing things because you're afraid to do them).

And you know what? The first time, I was still anxious. The 3rd and 5th times, I was still anxious, but every time that we had a threesome and my boyfriend didn't leave me, my anxiety lessened. And now it's fine. And she and I are really good friends.

Just make sure that you let him/her/them know how you feel, and let them know that because of your insecurities, you might need to stop, or that you might say some things you don't mean (I did that a few times when I thought he was paying more attention to her than to me). Just let them know you DO ultimately want it, but it might take some mental fighting with yourself along the way.

But ultimately, its totally worth it. =]

I love baby goats! How many other goats do you have? And what breed is this? I've only had experience with Alpine Dairy goats, which clearly don't have these adorable floppy ears.

I'm a girl, if that changes anything about the analysis.

This is great! Thanks for making me laugh. I have but only one upvote to give.

hamsterdamster · 1 month

Danke. This seems the most (or least) logical. Either way, it seems very probable.

Maybe...she's usually pretty selfless though. But that's a perspective I would never have thought of myself.

"The penis of a lion, like all felines, has backward pointing barbs. In lions, copulation is often accompanied by snarling, biting, growling, and threats, and sometimes the female turns and swats the male during dismount (most likely as a result of the pain invoked by a barbed penis). It has been theorized that the pain inflicted upon the female, during withdrawal from her vagina, is neccesary to stimilate the female to ovulate."

I think I'd be tired after that 40 times.

I'm scared of the sound of my own heartbeat in my ears, especially when you can hear it at night. I think this would be absolutely terrifying.

I'm confused. So why did they disqualify your video? You were wasting staples?

Sorry, I made it in paint. I'm not exactly a guru of paint.

I love you for explaining this in this detail so I don't have to feel obligated to explain it. And hate you for bringing up biochemistry again for me.

Ok, you're the second person who mentioned Newfield, so maybe I should be looking in that area.
