Recommendations for online symptoms checkers

I would like some recommendations for an online symptom checker for illness.

I have been getting severe headaches, as in seeing stars and profusely sweating for no real reason.  My Doctor is determined it is only my high blood pressure, but if that were the case I’d have them more often and not when on my meds.

I would like some other options to take to him.  I’ve tried WebMD’s symptom checker and it wasn’t to helpful.

The myth of the male chastity belt

Chastity belts for the male masses don’t exist.  That is my conclusion.

I have not been having any luck finding one that works for me.  So far I have tried the CB-2000, CB-3000 and two metal belts.

Based on my physical shape I have no security on the CB-X000 devices, I can pull out from them and have no reason to think that any of the others might work better because, if my dick goes through the ring it will come back out, so no security there.

The metal belts just don’t seem to fit me, I got a neosteel belt, that one was increadibly well built and sturdy, and it didn’t fit me right.  I put this down to bad measurements.  (I won’t even get into the scar I have on my dick where a small burr on the tube cut me tho)

So I ordered a belt by an American guy, drove to see him to be “Custom fitted”.  When the belt came it was all wrong, it wasn’t symmetrical and it was too big, so I sent it back and had it adjusted.  While this belt fits me now (correct waist and crotch) the tube doesn’t work for me, I can pull out of it.  I built a new tube from Home Depot that fits much better but I still get crushed balls.

I started this post because last night we had plans, I left the key at work, put the belt on at home, started a fun evening in only to be met with eye watering pain.  I had to defrost the emergency key that was in the block of ice and any sort of messing around for the evening was done.

I’m sure there are people out there who have had success with various devices, I think it is all to do with their particular body shapes and their tolerance for pain from the belt, but none of them seem to work for me.

It has been suggested that I get pierced.  While we have considered that for other things, this isn’t the time to do that and quite frankly I am so scared of needles the act would probably make me pass out.

The latest consideration is a Carrara belt, but they are another $800.  This has been a very disappointing experience and I hate to throw good money after bad.  I just want to find something that works.

Perhaps someone has come up with a design I can build myself and tweak but that illudes me too.

So the effective male chastity belt is just a myth to me.

Birthday Blues

I just had my birthday.  Another year older, another year wiser as they say.

But I have to say I feel like it is another year older, another year more pessimistic, languid, disillusioned with the world.

On my actual birthday I did nothing special with my wife or family.  At work my employees did a little birthday lunch.  I was so mad at the guy that told them when my birthday was because I hate that sort of thing.  Work is work, I am polite and sociable with the people that work with me but I had sitting down and making small talk with them.  He knew that and did it anyway, so that put a crimp in the birthday day.

Over the weekend I went out Kayaking.  I was with a group of people that had all signed up online at meetup.com.  I found myself not wanting to be anywhere near them though, I just wanted to be on my own, small talk just irritated me.

I think I am reaching a point in my life that I don’t like other people.  I find myself making excuses to not attend social gatherings or even to talk to people on the phone.  When I talk to people they either want something or just want to talk about themselves, neither of those make for a nice time.

I wonder sometimes if I should maybe see a shrink, but I am a smart person, I find myself thinking through my problems, and possible solutions and thinking that, if I didn’t get myself into the problem (or didn’t let people get me into them) then there wouldn’t be a problem and I could continue my private, hermit like, existence.

The other possibility is that I might just turn into a psychotic maniac and blow something up, but since I have no cause or beef with anyone that is somewhat unlikely

I get the impression that I am to old to be fooling around with the twenty somethings, and I too young to be taking life seriously like fifty somethings.  Right around now most guys would be being fatherly, but since that isn’t possible I am stuck in limbo.

If I were to win the lottery I think I would make a pretty good stab at becoming a hermit
