Basic fit Donjon showers

Why don't people here take showers after Working Out? It was very common in the US. I generally go in the evening after 7 pm CET. It makes me uncomfortable and nervous being the only person to shower.

Adding a vertical extension (dakopbouw) on top of an existing ground-floor back-extension (Almere) - Advice needed!

Hi everyone,

I own a terraced/semi-detached house in Almere (built late 1980s) and I’m looking into doing a vertical extension (dakopbouw).

Currently, the house has a ground-floor extension out into the back garden with a flat roof (see diagram & photos). The main house above it has a sloped tile roof. My goal is to extend the top floor outwards, building directly on top of the ground-floor extension to flatten out the back roofline and gain major room space upstairs (essentially turning a cramped attic/sloped room into a full-height room).

I’ve uploaded some photos of the backyard and a sketch of what I'm imagining:

* *Photo of garden/existing extension:* [Image 1 / 2]

* *Before/After Sketch:* [Image 3]

Because this changes the roofline from sloped to flat-ish on one side, I know it's a major project. I have a few questions for anyone who has done this in Almere or the Netherlands:

  1. *Permits & Omgevingsplan:* I know this isn't vergunningvrij. How strict is the Almere Welstandsnota on altering the original roof shape of late-80s houses? If no one else on my block has done this yet, is it a major uphill battle to get approval?

  2. *Structural Integrity:* For a 1980s build, is it typically required to reinforce the foundation of the ground-floor extension to support a new floor, or are they often sturdy enough for lightweight timber-frame (houtskeletbouw) extensions?

  3. *Neighborly issues (*Burenrecht):* Since we share a wall, how did you handle the shared wall (*mandelig) aspects and the 2-meter window privacy laws (vensters nabij de erfgrens)?

  4. *Estimated Costs & Timeline:* For a ~15-20m² vertical build-out like this, what kind of budget should I prepare for in today's market?

Thanks in advance for any insights, tips, or experiences you can share!

31M closeted gay Indian man newly married to a woman. Dealing with severe performance anxiety and zero libido/desire. Need practical advice/supplement help.

I am a 31-year-old gay man from India, and due to family and social circumstances, I recently got married to a woman.

Please, I am explicitly asking for **no morality lessons or lectures** about my marriage choice. The decision is made, we are here now, and I am fully committed to making this work for her. My top priority right now is ensuring my wife is physically, sexually, and mentally happy. I am not worried about my own happiness or fulfillment; I just want to be a good partner to her.

The issue I’m facing is purely physical and psychological execution. Whenever I think about sex or intimacy, I get hit with massive anxiety, and I feel completely "dead down there."

I have tried Tadalafil (Cialis). While I know it helps with blood flow, it requires a baseline of mental arousal or desire to actually kick in. Because my desire isn't there, the medication isn't doing anything for me. The mental block and the anxiety are completely overriding it.

I am looking for practical help, specifically from anyone who has been in a similar situation, entered a mixed-orientation marriage, or deals with severe psychological ED/low libido:

  1. **Medications or Supplements:** Are there specific anxiety medications (that don't kill libido as a side effect) or supplements that have helped you lower the mental barrier or create enough apathetic relaxation to function?

  2. **Mental Strategies:** How do you get past the panic/anxiety response in the moment so you can focus on your partner's pleasure and performance?

  3. **Alternative Approaches:** If standard ED meds didn't work because of a lack of baseline arousal, what did?

Again, please keep the comments focused entirely on practical medical, supplement, or psychological advice. I just want to do right by my wife. Thank you.

Stray Dog Menace

Has anyone found any solution to this problem? I keep hearing people getting bit and sometimes there are no rabies infection at the Pharmacy. The number of stray dogs are only increasing and at night if I return home it becomes extremely dangerous as I'm outnumbered by 15:1
