Topic Explanation:
The discussion is about the surprising connection between tumescence, which is commonly associated with sexual arousal, and the behavior of a stoma, particularly before it begins to flow. The initial post explains that just like sexual organs, a stoma can become engorged with blood as it prepares to perform its function. The sensation can be similar to the feeling of an erection in men or a sensation experienced by women, but it's a different body part making the same sensation.
Advice and Insights:
- The feeling of the stoma starting to work can be a pleasant sensation for some individuals.
- Some people may not feel anything when their stoma is active, while others may feel it when they have eaten bulky or fibrous foods or when they have flatulence.
- Tumescence is not related to "peegasm," which is a sensation associated with holding in urine and then releasing it.
- Completing a master's degree or any education is valuable, regardless of whether it is directly used in a career.
- Some individuals are debating returning to work or pursuing something they love, while others are dealing with immigration issues and considering getting a social work license.
- Personal experiences, such as working as a nanny, have influenced career decisions and priorities in life.
