    Saving for

    learning to put in contacts was kinda similar to learning to deepthroat

      Honestly I wonder how many people tried both and agree that it’s kinda similar :D It’s the part where you train yourself to ignore your instinctual reluctance and reflexes to “touch” a part of your body that’s not supposed to be touched like that.

        I would never have made the connection without reading your comment, but once I read it, I almost spat out my coffee.

        Something that especially resonates with my experience is that my optometrist advised practicing holding my eye open for contacts without trying to put anything near my eye, because even before I tried putting in the contacts, my upper lid kept trying to close , and that made it harder to hold my lids in the correct position.

        Man, this made me laugh. I feel like I’ve mentally saved away your original comment, because some day, there will be an opportunity to make this comparison to someone else who will find it as hilarious as I did.
