Yeah Kei cars are awesome. I live in Japan and my family has one car, which is a kei. The turbo versions are really zippy even on highways. My non- turbo manages just fine though. The one tiny downside is that they can only carry four people (size wise and legally wise). I would highly recommend one if it is an option where you live.

I usually only drive on the weekends. In fact I’m about to go for a stroll to the drugstore as even though I don’t live in a major city, everything is within a walkable distance.

With parental consent, we got the basic mechanics taught to us in grade 7. The very first thing was the teacher asked us what words we knew for genitalia (dick etc), wrote them all on the board, and then banned us from using them in the class. We were only to use the proper words.

Then in grade 10, without parental consent, we started getting weekly classes during our homeroom class. There were about five classes in total. It was conducted by someone from outside the school (from a group like planned parenthood I guess), but our teacher was present.

There were many discussions, different forms of contraception were introduced, and literally passed around for us to look at. The pill, dental dams, condoms, female condoms, (I’m probably forgetting some). We practiced putting condoms onto plastic bananas, and were all given one (some?) to take home.

There was an anonymous question box which the instructor answered. Sex for pleasure, including masturbation was discussed. I don’t remember anything about LGBT as it was a different time then. After high school, though many classmates came out.

I do remember one of these lessons was about STDs, and the instructor was going to show those horrific pictures as others have described. But our (cool) teacher stopped them. Overall, it was a great experience for us.

Yolla seems to have similar prices. I bought some credit with them. I haven’t needed to use it yet, so I cannot vouch for the call quality. Unlike others, their credit doesn’t expire after a certain period. You can also get a good deal by searching for discount codes before buying credit.

Thanks for being so patient with me. I wasn’t aware of the term liminal spaces, but looked into it. I guess I don’t have those feelings, but understand that some (many) people do.

If anyone else stumbles across this, I found this page insightful.

Thanks for the insight. I think the back wall is actually glass, as you can see there is a door on the far right. It is pretty common to have an outdoor open air bathing section at hot springs, so I guess that is what is there.

I guess if one has never been to a hot spring or bathhouse before then this image could appear odd.

Why?

I wouldn’t do that. It sounds like a full time job, of which I assume you already have. To me it would feel weird, like a power imbalance.

What happens when you don’t have time or energy to complete your tasks. Will he kick you out? Is your name on the lease?

Organising clothes and belongings is something I’d only do for family.

But, you know your roommate best, so do what you feel is right.

Maybe you can do a one month trial run?

Sounds like Rakuten!
