STP question part 2

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so I bought a STP a few days ago from Calexotics and I love the way I feel using it. I never knew taking a piss could make me so happy but (unfortunately there is a but :/) the angle and stream of it is only effective and leak -free when I don't have pants on.. When I try to make it look as natural as possible and wear jeans with it n try to pe e with pants on it leaks. I think it might be because the penis isn't flexible enough because it needs to be pointed down quite far not to leak and the hole in the jeans points the penis up and leaks. It's kind of a cheap STP so I know it's not perfect but do u guys have any tips? I'm on the heavier side and I've heard a lot of heavier trans guys say their STPs posed problems. I don't know mb that's it? I would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Learning to use a STP is something of a learning process and I've never heard of anyone succeeding right off the bat. I'm not familiar with that brand so I can't help with what the specific problem is.

I use one with a unique funnel design called a Che from T-Mens Junk Shop. After mastering it-which took well over a week because it is different from the others Ive used, I had no problems for ages . Then one day out of the blue it started leaking. Finally realized I had slightly changed the way I was holding it and was very slightly compressing the shaft. Very slightly, but it was enough to change the flow.

 

I do have trouble with STPs with women's jeans because of the shorter zippers too. Different pants are easier than others. Some men do partially drop their pants to pee. Also the underwear and how you are wearing it affects how the contact is made. I prefer bikini jockeys because they eliminate the need for a harness and going over the top rather than through allows for a better contact with the STP for me.

Basically think of the funnel or whatever replacing the urethra, it has to make solid contact all the way down or it will leak. After awhile you find the sweet spot and get so it's natural.

Another thing that helps is to go before you need. Especially with the reservoir style STPs but all are more likely to end up leaking when you are in a hurry or have a lot of pressure in the stream.

Lastly work on learning to control the stream. Practice in the shower or tub if necessary. Most STPs are more likely to leak with too much pressure but again especially the reservoir style.

This was very helpful! I had never heard of the brand you mentioned and I'm thinking about giving it a try. I haven't had much luck but have only bought a few. I'm afraid of spending hundreds of dollars and not knowing if they work for me. Did you find that using one with the funnel attached was easier versus the ones without??

I've heard the one with the funnel not attached is a hassle to use. I haven't tried it but have heard from several guys they sent it back and asked for the one they could attach. 

I found the funnel is veery soft and comfortable as it is. I never tucked it back either and had no problem.

In fact I'd recommend making sure they send the one with the attached funnel. It does take practice to find the "sweet spot" so to speak where it works perfectly but once you get it down it's easy. I admit I almost gave up the first week because it was very different from what I had used before.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
