If you are interested in unlearning paternalistic relationship structures I would recommend you read / listen to Dan Savage. He does a weekly sex and relationship columns since the 1990 and a podcast since the early 2000s so he has been doing this a long time so has a great backlog of material most of which is free. Especially since you are young and want some outsider perspective.

He talks often about alternative sexualities (queer, kink, etc.) and relationships structures (polyamory, open relationships, female led relationships, etc.) which might not be applicable to you. I know you mentioned that you are NOT into BDSM but understanding how common and acceptable doing something like that it makes what you are asking into context. Its the same tools around consent and communication about needs regardless of what you are doing. Listening and understanding the extreme level sexual acts will put your asks into perspective. Also hearing about the variety of ways organize their relationships and sex lives will really deprogram you from the single view of gender and sexuality you were brought up in.

I know his older material is available for designs

This is a great article. The number of toys that are just smaller versions of tools that adults use show that children want to help and be adults. I want to try to make sure I do this with my upcoming daughter and REALLY need to do this with any future boys I have. The number of young men who can't do any cleaning or cooking is unsustainable. These are life skills that everyone needs to learn

The best thing about The Wok is that he has a large section at the front about what brands to get for all of the various sauces you will need. I went to the Asian grocery store by my house and got almost all of them. I spent like $100 on sauces the first time but have used them for years. Now its a few bucks as I refresh the ones I use the most. I recommend it

That is correct. I think he typically releases the 3-D models after a few months. I know he has other 3-D Models on his website. This one I think will be later

If I'm drinking multiple cocktails I almost always do old fashioned. They aren't great batched but I do they quick and easy when I make them.

As for other options I love a Dark and Stormy which can be easily made. Similar idea is preparing some juices and put in either gin or rum. I make my own tinctures and infused vinegars so I just refresh the juice and add a few of those with gin. I can change you flavor as needed since I need some changes

There are sauna rafts that have engines, so you can cruise around the waters.

I went on one of those in Norway. We didn't have enough people to book the private bay tour so we were just at the dock. We jumped off the roof into the ocean. It was amazing. Highly recommend if you ever get a chance

I always mow in anything I have pulled into the yard

I get it. I have been doing packets of seeds to get one or two even when I press into the soil.

I get sprouts and then those get chomped. Everyone loves Sunflowers

Hit him with a pillow will knock him unconscious. If you want to be human put a cup over him and slide a piece of paper under and let him roam outside.
