Every time I cough it feels like an elastic band pinging my stomach

Soooo random but every time I cough or sneeze, it feels like I’m tearing a muscle in my very lower stomach. It also feels like someone snaps me with an elastic band. My daughter is 1.5 years so I wonder if my stomach hadn’t recovered fully from my c section birth with her but it’s so painful and also super random. H...

He lasts too long in bed

Hey I know this is silly but I was wondering if a man always lasts a long time in bed, does that mean that the 🐱 is trash??? Because going for almost a hour is insane.
