You’d been exhausted, completely void of motivation, and wanted nothing more than to take a well deserved nap, but your responsibilities aboard the Victoria Punk seemed to be never ending. You’d been pulled in every imaginable direction, providing some sort of aide for what felt like each one of your crewmates. You loved them dearly, but it could be a lot at times. To top it all off, you’d promised Kidd a shoulder massage as he’d mentioned that the scarring from the loss of his arm had been causing quite a bit of discomfort.

You trudged to the door of Kidd’s workshop, knocking a couple times before opening the door and telling him to meet you in his cabin. You sat against the headboard, flinching slightly as the worn muscles of your back constricted at the sudden change in posture. Kidd was rather observant, your pain not going unnoticed as he sat himself in front of you at an angle that allowed you full access to his left side. You lifted your hands to work, mindless tenderizing his injured muscles as you continued to ignore the aches within your own.

“You good?”, he asked, his tone low and much less brash than usual.

You hummed in response, an unsatisfactory answer as far as he was concerned but he chose to let it go for the time being. It wasn’t like you to be so quiet as the two of you typically bickered to show affection, your dejection gave way to the fact that something was wrong. He reveled in the comfort you afforded him while studying your face, admiring your features and thinking about what you weren’t telling him. Perhaps Killer would be able to work it out of you, he was typically better with emotions and had a better sense of the right things to say at the right times. As you leant forward to accommodate the height difference between the two of you, a muscle pulled just above your lumbar and left you gripping onto Kidd for support with glassy eyes.

“I’m sorry, Captain.”, you forced yourself to loosen your fingers and sit up, “I just need a second…”

“Lay down, (Y/N).”, he commanded, turning and using his hand to push you down.

“No, I want to-“, you tried to reason with him, feeling guilty for falling short on your promise while fighting against the searing sensation that was beginning to spread into your lower back.

“Lay down.”, he stood firm, “I’ll be right back and your ass better still be in this bed.”

You huffed as the door closed behind him, frustrated beyond capacity but admittedly grateful for the soft plush of the bed that cradled your aching body. After a few minutes, the sound of heavy boots outside the door replaced the quiet tranquility of the cabin. Kidd had apparently left to retrieve Killer who, alongside Kidd, kicked off his boots and shed his mask. You loved every moment you could admire his bare face, his eyes so soft and content as they danced over the sight of you.

“What’s bothering you, sweetheart?”, he asked quietly, easing his way into the empty space on your right side as Kidd reassumed his position on your left in tandem.

“I’m alright, just a little tired.”, you replied, not wanting to cause unnecessary worry or generate any additional stress.

“You couldn’t even sit up earlier.”, Kidd retorted while you pouted, “Roll over.”

You relented and flipped onto your tummy, giving in and finally resigning to let them take care of you. Killer made quick work of his hands, using his calloused fingers to apply delightful pressure on your restricted muscles. He kneaded your flesh carefully and drew little murmurs from your lips as particularly sensitive areas received some very overdue attention. Kidd kneaded the plush of your hip and thigh, pressing his thumb in an outward motion to work out each and every ripple he felt. The combination of their hands servicing you at the same time felt so good that it was dizzying. You let yourself fall into the intense waves of relief which allowed sleep to finally take hold, the lush pillow clutched in your arms only working to hasten your impending slumber.

You woke to find yourself planted snuggly on Kidd’s chest with his arm wrapped around you, his hand drawing mindless patterns on the soft skin at the small of your back. You tilted your head up to face him only to be met with a toothy grin smiling back at you. He leant down and pressed a kiss to your lips, littering your cheeks with several small pecks while you giggled.

“Hey, what about me?”, Killer asked from behind which caused you to giggle even more.

The dichotomy between their brutality toward the outside world held against their unwavering commitment to their loved ones always warmed your heart. Some would say you were in one of the most dangerous positions pressed between the Massacre Soldier and Captain Kidd, but they were just Kidd and Killer to you. Nothing more or less than two rough and rowdy partners who’d turned out to be the best lovers you could’ve ever imagined.

Not wanting Killer to have to wait any longer, you turned onto your back and scritched the blonde hairs of his chin as he brought his lips to meet your own. One of his hands trailed to rest on your lower tummy, a gasp escaping your lips at the sudden shift in physical intimacy when he began to knead his fingers. Kidd’s eyes focused in on his hand, silently praying for it to sink lower in order to have you squirming beneath them. Killer’s thoughts seemed to be headed in the same direction, dancing his fingers just under the waistband of your bottoms while he watched your face for consent.

As Kidd began playing with the hem of your top, you realized that this was the beginning of a very long night that would likely leave you even more exhausted than the night before, but infinitely more satisfied.

Blood type: A-

Weight: 162 lbs. (73.48 cm)

Design: He's a 5' 7" (170.18 cm) Italian-American ectomorph with an average musculature, broad shoulders, ivory skin, a cleft chin, and dull turquoise eyes. Marco sports wavy strawberry blonde hair, characterised by a large forelock that falls to the tip of his nose on the right side. On the left, two short, thick strands with subtle waves curve gracefully above his eyebrow. His features are further accentuated by well-groomed sideburns and a neatly trimmed chinstrap beard.

He bears occasional dark circles under his eyes and a distinctive glass left eye in a lighter turquoise hue. He has accumulated several battle scars: a few stab wounds on his right shoulder; vertical cuts on his chest; a deep slice mark extending from the left side of his nose bridge to the back of his trapezius muscle; multiple lacerations and severe burns on his back; a large patch of scar tissue on his right lumbar region; and bullet wounds on both calves and one on his left thigh. To cope with his emotional pain, he has a history of self-harm, which has resulted in the horizontal scars visible on his right forearm, hips, and inner thighs.

He's well-known for his cutting-edge, cybernetic left arm crafted from sleek, high-strength metallic alloys and advanced, artificially intelligent flexi-circuits, allowing for enhanced strength, agility, dexterity, and precision. It also has micro-sensors and neural interfaces seamlessly integrating with Marco’s nervous system for intuitive control. It possesses a high-strength, serrated blade made of tungsten, capable of extending up to 12 inches (30.48 cm) from the forearm. It can temporarily deploy an energy shield that surrounds him, providing protection from incoming attacks. This shield is powered by advanced capacitors and optimised for maximum efficiency using AI technology.

Marco's military gear consists of a white headband, a metal dog tag necklace with his name, and a platinum grey sleeveless shirt. He wears a crimson vest with four pockets and an embroidered logo of the P.F. Squad on the back, alongside khaki-green army cargo pants tucked into his olive green paratrooper boots. He also wears a leather belt with a snap-on silver buckle, mahogany gloves, a sheath for his combat knife, and a gun holster for his trusty handgun. The pockets of Marco's army cargo pants carry two boxes of cigars, while his vest contains a gilded lighter he found in Gerhardt City, a black case for his garnet-hued reading glasses, and an old photograph of pre-teen him, his father, and his childhood cat on a leash at a park during autumn.

Over his shirt, he wears a Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) with a MultiCam pattern, which carries his walkie-talkie and ammo for other firearms. His right forearm is wrapped in worn gauze, and he wears two black bandoliers that form an X-shape, holding bullets for his handgun. Marco carries a khaki-green load-bearing backpack containing camping equipment, tactical explosives, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, a Gatling shot, and a thunder shot. He's always carrying around a red-orange laptop adorned with a bronze circle on the lid, housing a black six-pointed star at its centre. This custom laptop serves as his mobile command centre, where he develops malware to breach enemy cybersecurity, tackles various classified technological assignments for the military, and works on personal software projects.

He wears his father's circular, gilded watch on his right wrist, using it to check the time as a reminder of his father's enduring presence and an opportunity to seek guidance from the past. The timepiece features an ivory dial with burgundy hands and black Roman numerals from I to XII, interspersed with four thin etchings. Additional details include a secondary display bar showing the time and AM/PM indicator, while a leather strap is secured with a matching gold buckle.

Character summary: He's a charismatic and cautious leader who takes immense pride in his high intellect, computer expertise, and masculinity. He's a self-reliant introvert who prefers to accept help and emotional support from others when absolutely necessary. His stoic demeanour is a constant, making it challenging for him to show humour or vulnerability. Due to being a workaholic, he has developed a harmful habit of neglecting his own basic needs, including eating when necessary. He mainly struggles with loneliness because he finds it difficult to form meaningful connections due to his exceptionally high intellect, which can make it challenging for others who may not be able to keep up with his level of understanding. He also struggles with major depressive disorder, trust issues, a fear of abandonment, and unresolved trauma stemming from past experiences. While Marco tends to internalise his emotions, he has learned to open up to trusted individuals when his burdens become too overwhelming to bear alone.

Despite his gentle and taciturn nature, he's capable of being ruthless and will fly into a deep rage when General Morden's name is mentioned near him. When interrogating others, he employs a menacing tone, his aloof demeanour making those on the receiving end feel uneasy and intimidated. He doesn't hesitate to wield threats of violence or exploit vulnerabilities, and with Trevor by his side, his intimidation factor is amplified. He's a socially awkward loner who doesn't tolerate distractions and has a strong fear of losing his current friends.

When experiencing great distress in relation to past trauma, he's prone to having a full-blown mental breakdown and indulging in suicidal ideation. Marco tends to get stressed easily, which has led to him developing a chain-smoking habit. He privately grapples with self-harm and binge drinking, often consuming multiple beers at once, while concealing his struggles with alcoholism and suicidal thoughts from those around him. He attempts to conceal his struggles with alcoholism by either excessively partying or withdrawing socially, and privately harms himself due to his reluctance to burden others or cause unnecessary concern. Additionally, he struggles with denial, finding it difficult to accept the loss of his father and former war comrades, and resisting the idea that he needs professional mental health support.

He has a dry sense of humour that he rarely showcases, and when he does, his witty remarks often blend English and Italian. Having learned some Japanese from Tarma and Eri, he occasionally sprinkles Japanese phrases into his jokes. He deeply cares about his friends and will stop at nothing to protect them, even if it means putting his own life at risk. He finds great comfort in the presence of his best friend, Tarma, thanks to his breezy and optimistic attitude. Although he doesn't always show it, he genuinely enjoys Tarma's jokes and appreciates listening to them, even if they occasionally test his patience. Additionally, he cherishes his calico shorthair cat, Perifa, a heartwarming birthday gift he received from Fio prior to the Survival Island Occupation.

He’s in a polyamorous queerplatonic relationship with Fio and Tarma, a bond that satisfies his deep-seated longing for emotional intimacy. He’s close friends with Trevor, regularly mentoring him in computer skills like reading binary code and enjoying social time together, but their occasional marijuana use has raised concerns due to Marco's pre-existing unhealthy smoking habits. He holds Tequila in high esteem, recognizing his pivotal contributions to the success of the Regular Army and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. special forces unit. He deeply values his wisdom, open-mindedness, fatherly demeanour, and exceptional covert agent skills. He dislikes accompanying Nadia on shopping trips because her constant meddling and overly inquisitive nature frustrate him.

Having never experienced raising children, he had always doubted his ability to provide love and be a good parental figure because he was consumed by his own interests and mental health issues. But everything changed when he adopted an abandoned baby girl and felt an obligation to provide parental care for the child. With the guidance and support of his friends, he discovered valuable parenting skills and named his new daughter Midori. He transformed into a loving, supportive, and overprotective father, dedicated to ensuring her happiness and safety. He made it a point to offer wise advice, hoping to spare her from his own past mistakes.

He found immense joy in watching Midori form close bonds with his friends, affectionately regarding them as uncles, aunts, and grandparents. Her friendship with Pocke, Walter's adoptive son and a Martian infant, brought him equal delight. He was particularly grateful for the ways his friends nurtured Midori's passions: Tarma and Alisa encouraged her interest in engineering, while Walter and Trevor fostered her love of music. He can't imagine a world without his adoptive daughter, who has brought him a new sense of purpose and motivated him to overcome his personal hardships.

He often mistakes Sophia Greenville for his mother due to their similar appearance, and he's always embarrassed when he accidentally calls her "mom”. Nevertheless, he's deeply grateful for the maternal affection she shows him, treating him like a son and unknowingly becoming the kind of mother he wishes he had. He finds comfort in spending quality time with his cat, affectionately referred to as his "dramatic little princess”. He enjoys engaging in playtime, giving gentle pets, and even using soothing baby talk to calm his feline companion. He's easily offended by people who rudely insult cats, going as far as to comfort the insulted feline and silently glaring at the person who uttered such words.

Whenever he's had too much to drink, he starts to act rowdy, easy-going, overly affectionate, and clingy. When sexual activity is mentioned, he reacts with extreme discomfort as he finds it to be disgusting. He’ll either become nauseous or start gagging, displaying expressions of strong distaste towards the person discussing the topic. If he unexpectedly encounters someone engaging in sexual activity, he often experiences a panic attack, feeling lightheaded and overwhelmed. In such situations, he usually tries to seek comfort and support from a trusted individual to talk to and receive a reassuring hug. This experience may also trigger unpleasant thoughts related to sexual matters, leading him to fear that he's somehow perverted and disgusting. He'll only lose his temper with others if they say something extremely rude to him or his friends, intend to hurt his loved ones or tell him blatant lies. Although he tends to have a pessimistic outlook on life, he sometimes manages to see the brighter side of things.

He has a sleepwalking habit, often accompanied by vivid dreams of fighting or killing someone, which greatly annoys and frightens Tarma, who’s frequently the target of these nocturnal episodes. He resents being hailed as a war hero due to his intense aversion to fame and his conviction that conflict should prompt sombre reflection, not glorification. He dislikes flirtatious advances and has low tolerance for complaining, bullying, and excessive talking, which can trigger irritability and extreme defensiveness. He feels uneasy with romantic inquiries and is secretly intimidated by Gimlet, whose rape threats, relentless verbal aggression, and frequent heated confrontations leave him on edge. He has a commanding presence that demands respect, and his consistently serious demeanour can make him seem intimidating and unapproachable to others.

He's incredibly introspective and prone to questioning the intentions of his friends and his own worthiness of having meaningful friendships. He defines his masculinity by embodying traits like physical strength, courage, independence, leadership, and assertiveness. However, he makes a conscious effort to avoid toxic masculinity by ensuring his behaviour doesn't harm others' feelings or self-worth. Despite this balanced approach, he admits to having some vanity regarding specific issues he considers unbefitting of his ideal masculinity, such as sagging pants and carrying toys, as he sees these as detrimental to personal dignity. Whenever he encounters a pair of glowing red eyes, he's either deeply unsettled or irresistibly drawn to them, captivated by their aura of curiosity and command. This hesitant fascination occasionally leads him to wander aimlessly until it directs him to a destination of its choosing.

He’s a consequentialist who believes people's actions are judged by their consequences. He thinks it's more logical for individuals to prioritise not causing harm to others and maximising the welfare of both themselves and others over personal gain. In his view, everyone should act in ways that benefit themselves and others, taking into account fully informed and rational preferences. He believes that all conflicts are gradually moving towards equitable unification and collective strength for humanity, paving the way for a new era free from violence, hate, and political corruption. From his perspective, all life forms have the capacity for destruction, and if their creative drive is surpassed, it can lead to severe consequences, ultimately undermining the act of creation.

Backstory: Marchrius Dennis Rossi was born on April 13, 2005 in Twin Falls, Idaho, United States. Marco's mother, Katalina, was a researcher for a secret government project, and his father, Salvatore Rossi, was stuck in a dead-end office job. His parents had a distant relationship and had Marco, hoping that a child would bring them closer together and fix their broken marriage, but they often ignored each other and argued. Katalina had never wanted Marco, viewing him as an unplanned consequence and a responsibility that hindered her career. His father provided unwavering support and care, while his mother was neglectful and emotionally absent, hiding her true behaviour behind closed doors. But despite this, Marco shocked his parents by exhibiting a fast-growing intelligence at a very young age.

From the moment he opened his eyes, he muttered his first word, "daddy". He learned how to walk at 3 months old and showed advanced motor skills by 5 and a half months. He skipped object permanence altogether and completed his first crossword puzzle at just 1 year old, astonishingly understanding political terms. By the age of 2, he had memorised all 50 U.S. states and read two books in their entirety, demonstrating a profound understanding of their documented subjects: moral philosophy and psychoanalysis. By 4, he was answering calculus-level questions and describing his feelings about endangered animals in zoos with sophisticated vocabulary.

From the age of 2, he would occasionally see a pair of glowing red eyes in darkened corners or places drenched in darkness. He described them as always watching him and swore that they belonged to a living, breathing creature that seamlessly blended into the darkness. When he turned 5, he created an imaginary friend as an excuse to enjoy his alone time and avoid befriending the children who frequented the local park. This imaginary friend was named "Jubby", and Marco often drew him, depicting him as an anthropomorphic snow leopard with golden eagle wings, Komodo dragon legs, and a face covered in a ball of black scribbles.

Before he turned 6, his neglectful mother, Katalina, grew fed up with how "weird" he was. She was also annoyed by his persistent fear of a glowing pair of red eyes that watched him occasionally and his uninterested attitude towards forming connections. While Salvatore was away from home, Katalina took matters into her own hands and packed her belongings. Before leaving, she noticed Marco standing before the basement door, which was wide open. She investigated and saw the same glowing pair of red eyes, which terrified her.

Believing that Marco was attracting an evil spirit, she pushed him down the basement stairs and locked the door, hoping to contain the perceived threat. Abandoning Marco, she left the house, leaving him absolutely terrified. Marco attempted to cope with the trauma by conjuring up Jubby, but he claimed that his imaginary friend never came to his aid. This painful realisation marked the day he began to harbour resentment towards his mother, feeling unappreciated, unloved, and viewed as a burdensome presence in her life. When Salvatore returned home and discovered that Marco was trapped in the basement by Katalina, he was infuriated. His father attempted to track down Katalina, but it was too late. This traumatic event instilled in him a lasting fear of heading down into dark basements alone.

During his time in grade 1, Marco struggled to make friends and often looked sad when he saw other children with their mothers, a concern his father noticed. To cheer him up, his father brought home a Turkish Angora with a black, orange, and white fur coat, which sparked Marco's love for felines. As a result of his childhood cat's fondness for eating bugs, he affectionately named her Grubley. At the age of five, his father introduced him to the world of computing, igniting a passion for computer science that would last a lifetime. Salvatore was always supportive of Marco and his passions, encouraging him to excel in school, chase his dreams, and make the most of the opportunities life has to offer.

Marco knew he had an uncle, but his father forbade him from seeing him. Salvatore had warned him that his uncle was untrustworthy due to his con artist lifestyle and struggled with alcoholism. However, he was permitted to visit his aunt and grandparents, who were incredibly kind. They encouraged him to appreciate nature and the simple things in life, rather than spending all his time on the computer. He has fond memories of his grandfather teaching him how to barbecue. His grandmother, an immigrant from Italy, taught him some Italian and often shared photographs she had taken in her home country before moving to the United States.

His father unknowingly sparked his interest in the Tuatha Dé Danann, an ancient race of demigods that existed before all life, and two antediluvian places, Atlantis and Ultima Thule. He would silently observe his father spend a short amount of time researching these fascinating topics when not working. Marco would eventually discover that he has a slight hint of Tuatha Dé Danann DNA, leading him to wonder if others might also have ancestral ties tracing back to the Hadean Eon.

He was bullied by many students for being perceived as "friendless" and for having an abnormally high intelligence, leaving him feeling isolated. A few students attempted to befriend him, but he rebuffed their efforts, fearing they would eventually abandon him. He also struggled to connect with them on an intellectual level, feeling like an outsider. During high school, he was involved in a few physical altercations, but he typically managed to defuse the situations with his words or, if necessary, defend himself relentlessly. In his spare time, he mastered the unconventional art of drunken-style boxing, giving him an edge in self-defence. Despite his school troubles, he excelled in all his classes and achieved outstanding grades in mathematics and computer science courses.

Before graduating from a state technical high school, Salvatore died due to health complications caused by Huntington's disease. Shortly after, Marco's beloved cat, Grubley, peacefully passed away in her sleep. Marco was devastated by these losses, compounded by the shocking revelation that his father had been secretly battling Huntington's disease without ever sharing his struggle with him. The last gift his father gave him was a red-orange laptop, which was intended to be a graduation present. Rather than letting the tragedy consume him, he transformed his grief into a driving force, cultivating resilience and independence. To move forward, he made the difficult decision to distance himself from his remaining family, seeking to leave the past behind and forge a new path.

He began developing artificial intelligence to engage in online debates and sophisticated computer software, including anti-viruses and error-checking tools, as a means to earn a living and hone his programming skills. He went so far as to meticulously rebuild and upgrade the desktop computer in his father's old office at home, enhancing both its design and performance. Marco decided to attend officer's school at the Academy of Special Technologies and subsequently joined the prestigious Peregrine Falcons Squad shortly after graduation.

Unlike many of his peers, he quickly distinguished himself through his exceptional leadership skills and computer expertise, earning him a spot as 1st Lieutenant of the P.F. Squad. This was also when he met Tarma, forming a fast friendship after discussing their interests, reminiscing on their childhoods, and having a couple of beers. Tarma was his first real friend, whom he holds dear, despite viewing him as a “maniacal gearhead”. Through his friendship with Tarma, he discovered the value of having friends and stepped out of his comfort zone to befriend the other members of the P.F. Squad and Regular Army. He would also gradually develop a queerplatonic relationship with Tarma as he deeply cherished their friendship and came to realise that it filled a void of emotional intimacy left by his father's passing.

During his time in the P.F. Squad, Marco created a computer virus for fun, which inadvertently spread to the Regular Army's mainframe server. The virus destroyed several security systems, compromised the lowest echelons of the Regular Army, and nearly triggered the launch of a nuclear missile. Fortunately, a military scout named Trevor, whom Marco would meet years later during his recruitment into the P.F. Squad, managed to stop it. Marco refuses to discuss this potentially disastrous incident, even after a few too many beers.

When the Amadeus Syndicate served as the scientific and medical branch of the Regular Army, Marco met Doctor Amadeus, the organisation's founder and Nadia's clone mother. They had a cordial relationship, and Doctor Amadeus was particularly impressed by Marco's exceptional computer skills. She wanted to utilise his talents for a bioengineering experiment, aiming to create super soldiers using abandoned Martian and Invader technology.

During a battle against a terrorist attack, Marco suffered severe injuries and was taken to one of the original Amadeus Syndicate's medical facilities to recover. Doctor Amadeus seized this opportunity to force herself upon him to collect semen and DNA samples, leaving him deeply traumatised. The experience was so distressing that Marco tried to suppress the memory, inadvertently forgetting much of the history and purpose of the Amadeus Syndicate in the process. He also swore his revenge to kill Doctor Amadeus one day for what she did to him. As a result of this event, he began to act strangely anxious and slightly aggressive when in a hospital or near Nadia for prolonged periods of time.

During the first coup led by General Morden, he scraped together the remnants of the Regular Army government forces to reassemble the P.F. Squad and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. He became the leader of the governmental resistance against General Morden but at a great cost. As he, his comrades, and his friends were approaching the last known base of the Rebel Army, disaster struck. General Morden and his soldiers ambushed them, seizing the opportunity to decimate the remnants of the P.F. Squad and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S, leaving Marco with mental and physical scars that would haunt him forever.

Marco endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of General Morden, Allen O'Neil, and the Rebel soldiers, who brutally tortured him, gouged out his left eye, and severed his left arm. After experiencing a strange tingling sensation of familiarity, General Morden realised that Marco possessed Tuatha Dé Danann heritage. Intrigued, he discreetly collected DNA samples from Marco, which would later be utilised by the Amadeus Syndicate for experimentation in bioengineering and advanced military technology. The cruelty continued as Morden forced Marco to witness the slaughter and torture of his comrades and friends. Devastated by the losses and horrors he experienced, Marco teetered on the brink of giving up. He was even convinced that his best friend, Tarma, had perished, plunging him into a deep depression.

However, Tarma managed to escape the Rebel Army's clutches and staged a daring rescue, reuniting with Marco. With Tarma's emotional support and his own newfound rage, Marco found the strength to keep fighting. Before confronting General Morden, Tarma constructed his prosthetic left arm using technological debris and cutting-edge medical technology available to the Regular Army. However, it took him a couple of weeks to adapt to his new limb. Together, they became legendary heroes, ultimately defeating Morden and restoring world peace. Marco's bravery earned him the rank of Major, but he soon grew to resent his war hero status as he realised that the media often glorifies conflict.

Marco continued to lead the P.F. Squad together with Tarma, who is the true linchpin of the elite task force of the Regular Army. Marco joined forces with Tarma, Fio, and Eri for a second mission to thwart General Morden's second coup. Although the mission technically failed, as they captured a Martian troop from the Pipovulaj Army disguised as General Morden, the Regular Army's higher-ups deemed it a success nonetheless. This moment got on Marco's nerves as he deeply desired to see General Morden brought to justice and face the full consequences of his actions.

Following this success, Marco attempted to resign, but his higher-ups quickly denied his request. They insisted on his participation in a mission to eliminate the remaining remnants of the Rebel Army and other operations addressing threats to global peace such as the Pipovulaj Army.

Exercise For Hips - How to Strengthen and Stretch Your Hips

Strengthening and stretching your hips are integral in order to avoid pain, injury and future damage - not to mention create a more toned physique!

Start by sitting comfortably on the floor, with soles of your feet together and knees softly bent. Move right leg out in a circular fashion until it feels comfortable to do so.

Leg Lifts

Leg lifts are an important exercise to strengthen hips, yet many times they're performed incorrectly, leading to strain in the lower back and muscle imbalances.

Make sure your hands are placed flat on the floor by your sides or placed beneath your knees for stability, engaging your core and glutes to maintain an anatomically neutral lower back position. Raise one leg straight up until chest height; once at its highest point pause for several seconds before slowly lowering back down towards starting point on floor and repeat for desired number of repetitions.

Add resistance to increase its difficulty by using weighted dumbbells or resistance bands as resistance. Doing this will enable you to work your hip and butt muscles even harder; for those suffering lower back pain, placing yoga or foam rollers between their knees for extra support could also prove effective.

Performing prone leg lifts correctly will strengthen your abdominal, core and hip muscles as well as allow you to walk, stand and move with greater ease during many activities. By strengthening your hips you'll be able to go hiking, take long walks, run races and play sports without experiencing aches and pains affecting you - plus doing these exercises regularly may reduce chronic hip pain risk!

Knee-to-Chest Stretches

The Knees-to-Chest Stretch targets the hip flexors and lower back muscles to relieve tightness that could otherwise cause low back pain. Simply lie back with one leg resting against the floor while pulling its opposite leg toward your chest until you feel a stretch in both hips and low back - this exercise can be repeated daily in order to prevent or relieve pain in these muscles.

Start this exercise slowly by stretching just one leg at first to ensure a gentle introduction and no discomfort occurs. As soon as that has taken place, gradually raise both legs together if possible - however passive stretching should always be used first as this reaches lower back muscles more effectively when your legs and hips are as relaxed as possible.

Position yourself comfortably on your back, using a pillow or support pillow behind the knee if necessary, and bend the left leg at the knee. Slowly draw it toward your chest using either your hands on its back for assistance if necessary - hold for 30 seconds then switch legs.

This stretching movement targets both hip flexors and lower back muscles to relieve disc herniation and pain in lumbar vertebrae, providing relief to sitting users by loosening up lower back muscles. It is an effective stretch for anyone seated for extended periods and looking to relieve tightness in lower back muscles. This exercise also helps to increase more sex pleasure and good hip shape.

Sit-to-Sit Stretches

Sitting for long periods can tighten up hip muscles. This seated stretching exercise will help loosen them and decrease risk of injury or discomfort when working, studying or playing sports.

Begin by sitting comfortably on a chair with feet no wider than the width of your hips, with feet together, feet touching no wider than hip-width apart and weight distributed equally between both feet. Shift your weight back onto one foot while leaving the other foot straight, slowly turn left shoulder as far as comfortable for 5 seconds and hold there, before returning back to center and repeating on other side for additional stretching benefits to neck and shoulder flexibility. This exercise also improves posture.

Butterfly stretch is another seated hip stretch you can do while sitting, which begins by starting in long-sitting position but gradually moving the hips towards butterfly stretching pose. To avoid an arch back arching too quickly while stretching this way.

To perform this stretch, begin by sitting in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and knees bent at right angles. It is best if the chair doesn't feature arms as this will inhibit hip movement. Next, cross your right ankle over left knee using hand pressure against this leg until body relaxes into stretch further.

Hip Circles

Hip circles are one of the best dynamic exercises you can do to develop flexibility and strength in the hips, helping to develop both flexibility and strength simultaneously. They target both hip flexors and posterior chain muscles such as gluteus medius - an adductor muscle responsible for rotational movements of the thigh - through standing hip circles alone or at the end of a warm-up session, using sticks, poles, or simply by standing on one leg. Prone hip circles (also called "pigeon stretching") add an extra intensity by forcing someone's knee bend outside at front before then extend back behind them again for further challenging effect on hip flexors flexors flexors flexors to engage.

Like with all dynamic stretching and movement patterns, the key to successful hip flexor strengthening exercises lies in always leading with your hips and pelvis instead of your torso. Doing otherwise could result in injury as it causes lower back and shoulder rotation - not something desired when trying to build strength in hip joint tissue.

For maximum intensity and focus when performing hip circles, combine them with other lower body movement drills like lunges or glute kickbacks. By doing so, you'll target outer hip muscles which often go untouched when doing other exercises - strengthening these outer muscles will result in stronger glute muscles overall! This is important because stronger outer hip muscles create a more stable and powerful glute region overall.

101 Guide for Self Pleasure

In today’s society, the topic of masturbation and self-pleasure is often shrouded in shame and secrecy. But the truth is, there are many reasons why self-pleasure is important and can provide numerous psychological and physical benefits.

Masturbation is a completely natural and normal part of human sexuality. It allows us to explore our bodies and our desires, and can even help us better understand our sexual preferences and needs.

Psychologically, self-pleasure can provide a sense of relaxation and stress relief. Many people find that taking some time to pleasure themselves can help them unwind and let go of the tensions of everyday life. It can also help boost self-confidence and self-esteem, as it allows us to feel more in control of our own sexual experiences.

Physically, masturbation can have many benefits as well. It can help relieve menstrual cramps and other forms of physical discomfort, and can even improve sleep quality. Additionally, regular masturbation can help improve sexual function and performance, and can even reduce the risk of certain sexual health issues.

So, what exactly does masturbation consist of? For many people, it involves using their hands to stimulate their genitals, but there are many other ways to pleasure oneself, including the use of sex toys such as vibrators, and other erotic materials.

Before engaging in self-pleasure, it’s important to consider a few things. First, make sure you have privacy and won’t be interrupted. Second, make sure you’re in a comfortable and safe environment. And finally, be sure to set aside enough time to fully enjoy the experience.

Another big question could be, how I set myself to start to touch myslef? Well, there are many ways, the easiest one can be adult content, think of something that makes you feel horny, and start to fantasize.You can choose a high variety of adult content, your own ideas and fantasies, use some sex toys, or mix all of them

When it comes to using adult content for self-pleasure, there are both pros and cons. On one hand, adult content can help provide inspiration and stimulation, and can even help people explore different sexual fantasies and desires. However, it’s important to use adult content in a responsible and healthy way, and to be mindful of any potential negative effects it may have on your mental or emotional well-being.

It’s important to point out that you should not depend on adult content to engage in sexual pleasure.

While engaging in self-pleasure, it’s important to be mindful of your own comfort and well-being. Be sure to avoid any activities or positions that may cause discomfort or pain, and always listen to your body.

Over time you will learn what you want and how you like it.

There are all kinds of ways to masturbate, and no one is better than the other. Do whatever feels good for you. Seducing yourself in non-direct ways can help to stimulate your body. Don’t be afraid to explore. This means, you do not have to touch your genitas in the first place.Keeping your genitals untouched while you are setting yourself, will help you to increase your sexual desire.

To start, you don’t have to go straight for the genitals. Start by simply massaging parts of your body to get an idea of how you like your skin to be touched, keep in mind, as with all forms of sexual touch, that not everyone’s different. Some things will be pleasurable and others, not so much.

You can try pleasing the different erogenous zones of your body

Those zones are:

Neck

Lips

Chest /breast

Nipples

Feet

Belly button

Lumbar area

Pubis

Butt

Perineum

Testicles

Anus

Take your time, it can be easy or hard, fast or slow.This porcess will let you identify how you like to get sexual pleasure.

If you are a person who is seeking to have sexual activity with other folks, this will help you to create a sexual criteria, also to feel relaxed and gain selsteem

After engaging in self-pleasure, it’s important to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. This may involve cleaning up, taking a shower, or simply taking some time to relax and enjoy the afterglow. Take a minute to enjoy a mindfulness aftermath.

So why do we feel so good after masturbating? The answer lies in the release of endorphins and other feel-good chemicals that occur during sexual stimulation. This can help boost mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide an overall sense of well-being.

Ultimately, adding self-pleasure to our lives can be an important way to explore our sexuality and take control of our own sexual experiences. It’s important to approach self-pleasure with an open and curious mind, and to always prioritize our own comfort and well-being. By doing so, we can enjoy all of the many benefits that self-pleasure has to offer.

Having a sexual life is part of a healthy lifestyle.

warnings: dubcon, mirror sex, unprotected sex, mild degradation, malpractice lol wc: 2.9k prompt: “do as you’re told.”

a/n: thank you @joyousandverywarlike for being the best beta reader, friend and hype lady! i appreciate you endlessly

Your lower back has been killing you for weeks. When you went to the doctor, they had recommended Advil a few times daily, but it certainly wasn’t getting any better. You couldn’t sit at work properly. Getting out of bed sent pain shooting down to your legs and you couldn’t take it anymore. You finally decided to go back and beg for a physical therapist recommendation.

The clinic was very intimate and quaint. The walls are a soft beige paired with dark brown chairs and couches. You sit in the waiting room, idly scrolling through your phone after checking in.

Your eyes move up from your phone as you hear a low voice call your name. There’s a toned man with dark brown hair giving you a crooked, charming smile. He has a white button-down that snuggly wraps around his figure, paired with a dark green tie.

“Uh, that’s me-” you thickly swallow as you rise from the chair walking toward where he stood. “Right this way,” he holds the door open, letting it go as you cross the threshold.

“I am Doctor Shindou, you can call me Doctor Yo,” he speaks as he strides in front of you. You can see the muscles in his back ripple against his tight shirt. “Right in here, you can take a seat,” he motions as you step past him and find the spot. “So what brings you in today?” he settles himself in front of the desk, taking a look at the file in his hands.

“I’ve been having an ache in my back for quite some time now,” you relay to him the steps you’ve been taking with pain meds and how work has become a challenge. Taking in his unruly dark brown hair and warm chocolatey eyes.

“Where would you say it’s located?” His jaw fixes as he holds out a diagram. You can’t help but let your eyes wander to his large hands, nails trimmed, before you point at the spot.

“Did you start experiencing this after something in particular?” He places the chart onto the table. You stare up at him taking in his gaze wandering down your body before climbing up to meet your eyes. “Picking up a heavy box or falling?”

“Nothing I can really think of.” Your brow furrows as you try to rack your brain for something inn particular that could have started this all, coming up blank.

“Chin up, Y/n!” He clasps his large hands around yours holding them tight, the warmth radiating against your skin. “We’ll figure this out together!” He assures you with a vibrant smile. The initial contact startles you, but after taking in his warm gaze, you nod with a smile.

“Stand up for me, yeah?” He drops your hand, rising. Gathering your bearings, you stand. He smiles warmly, closing the distance between you. Taking a step toward you, a little too close for comfort. Shindou wraps his arms around you, pressing his fingers into the small of your back. You stumble forward, against his chest.

“Is it here?” His breath fans across your face, a hint of mint washing through you. You glance up at him with a start, the same vibrant smile from before sending a shudder through your body.

“Uh, yeah-” you can feel your cheeks heating up, eyes darting to the floor. “It’s actually just a bit lower down.” You aren’t lying. He needs to know where it is, but the close proximity and prompting for his hands to travel lower feels indecent.

You wouldn’t mind letting your own hands wander down his body. Worse things could happen. The hottest man you’ve encountered in months has his hands on you, who are you to complain?

“Here?” He asks, his hand lightly tracing down your back to the small divots at the base, thumb swirling circles against the fabric of your shirt.

“Yes-” you clear your throat as his touch lingers a second too long. Doctor Yo steps away from you, seemingly not as phased by the close proximity you shared only moments before.

“Lumbar pain is fairly common, let’s try out a few things and let me know if you feel pain or a stretch anywhere.” He shoots you a friendly smile, walking to his desk to make notes.

This couldn’t have all been in your head, right? He could have checked from the side if he wanted to, but he came at you straight on. It seemed a bit too casual for a physician to be doing. But then again, you aren’t going to be the one to complain. You think to yourself, recalling the feeling of his body close to your own.

“Y/n, you still with me?” A voice brings you back to reality, you can feel the heat creep onto your ears.

“So what I’m going to have you do is put your legs shoulders width apart and bend at the hips,” he motions with his own body. “Make sure to keep your back straight as you lean forward and go at it at a 90-degree angle.” You follow his motions, feeling a stretch in your muscles.

“Feel anything?” He asks tilting your head up. You find him in front of you. “Here I’m going to take your hands and adjust you real quick,” his fingers grasp at your wrist, lightly tugging your body forward.

“Make sure you keep the angle, angel.” You look down at the floor, the name sending chills through your body. “You’re a little off-kilter. Here one second.” Shindou drops your wrists throwing you off balance momentarily, standing up straight.

“Everything good?”

“Ah, yes, sorry I could feel the stretch. I just needed a second to catch my breath.” You assure him. Taking the opportunity to slow your heart that’s pounding too fast for a physical therapist visit.

“Alright, this time, grab onto the exam table for something to prop you up,” he smiles kindly.

“Okay, I’m ready,” you look down and adjust your feet before bending forward once more, fingers latching onto the cool plastic, feeling his gaze on your body.

“Like this, right?” You let out a breath, relaxing into the position. The stretch feels fantastic. Dr. Yo really knows what he’s talking about.

“Almost, here more like this,” you sense him moving behind you and feel him press gently against you, hands lowering onto your hips to push you down slightly.

“That’s better,” he moves slowly, sending your warmth through you. “See, if you don’t do it right, it can actually be more harmful than helpful.” His laughter makes you uneasy. There is something about it that you can’t quite place. It feels empty.

“Doctor Yo, I-” you try and straighten up.

“Do as you’re told.” The tone he’d taken at the beginning of your appointment has disappeared completely. Once light and friendly, his words are now cold and stern, fingers digging into your clothed hips.

Your mouth dries up. You can only focus on the heat radiating off of his body as he commands you, the shape of his hardening cock imprinting into you.

“Can you feel it?” You can’t tell if he’s talking about the stretch from the exercise or his growing erection pressed flush against you. He dips his fingers underneath your shirt, scaling them up to your waist, kneading your flesh.

“Lucky for you, I have a tool that is perfect for getting your muscles relaxed,” you can feel his breath fan across the back of your neck as he cranes over your body. His hands moving to your hips, thumbs pressed into your lower back. You let out a startled gasp as vibrations begin to course through his fingertips. He lets out a soft chuckle above you, massaging into the muscle.

“Feel’s good, right?” He pulls your ass to his strained cock. A soft moan floats past your lips as you feel the vibrations thrum through your tense muscles. Maybe this is all just his method of practice. Your body that were once tight and sore is starting to release tension.

“I- It does,” you nod your head, moving back against him without thought.

“These might get in the way.” He pulls away from you, releasing your hips in a swift motion. The cold air hits your naked skin the instant he drags your shorts down to your knees.

“Dr. Yo,” you try to push off of the table.

“Ah-ah,” he pushes your back, “You didn’t even wear panties to come here?” His tongue clicks in amusement

Your cheeks heated up. He shouldn’t be doing this. It’s not like you knew something like this would happen, you left in a hurry this morning to make it here on time. You could reason with everything else he had done up to this point, but this was another level.

“What do we have here,” your body jolts forward at the light touch he directs at your glistening core. You can feel his breath tickling the skin, craning your neck back to see what he’s doing. He’s crouched down, parallel to your indecent body. His eyes look over to you when he notices your body shift.

“We can’t have you making a mess in my office, Y/n.” His mouth closing in on your exposed cunt as he envelopes your lips. You let out a moan, the feeling of his tongue softly trailing up and down, sending a wave of vibrations to the sensitive bundle of nerves.

You feel his smile against your skin after letting out a string of incoherent sounds as he continues his assault. The combination of the vibrations and the swirling of his tongue take over your mind.

You hear a shuffling accompanied by the sound of a zipper as he disconnects from your core. You let out a whine at the loss of contact.

“But if you stretch in one position for too long, it’s no good,” he whispers into your ear, grabbing the back of your neck and pulling you flush against his chest. Your back arches as your ass is pushed flush against his cock, a bead of precum leaking onto your back. Your head rests against his shoulder, his other hand wandering to your hips.

“How about we turn over here so we can see your form?” He shifts his body so that the both of you are now facing the mirror beside the exam table. Your heart picks up when you take in the reflection. He has his hand wrapped around your throat, tilting your head back, and his other hand sneaking around your front to prod your clit.

“See, for the most part, you have it down. But I think we need to make one more adjustment to make sure the form is perfect Y/n,” the hand vanishes from its place, a whine escaping your lips at the loss of delicious contact.

“I think this will do the trick,” you can feel the tip of his cock running a lazy line up and down your soaked lips. He sends another steady wave of vibrations to his length, teasing you while you struggle to let him know what you want.

“Pl-” you try to get out, the vibrations increasing in their intensity. Your mouth hangs open, eyes closing while you focus on the sensations overcoming your body.

“Eyes open,” he commands, his hand tightening its grip around your throat, pulling you from your lustful thoughts.

In one fluid motion, he has your lips splayed open as he buries his cock in you. A gargled gasp escapes from your open mouth, walls convulsing around him as they attempt to accommodate his size. The stretch is laced with pain and pleasure.

The pronounced veins on the underside of his cock imprint their memory into your mind. Your entire body just a vessel meant to receive the pleasure he is willing to give you.

“Fuck Y/n,” Shindou lets out a strangled groan. Dragging his cock slowly out of your quivering hole, only to plunge back into it once more with haste, mouth attaching to the soft spot where your neck and shoulder meet.

“Your slutty pussy is just sucking me inside.” He ruts into you, gradually picking up his pace. Snaking his hands to your front, finger sending waves of pleasure the moment it makes contact with your bundle of nerves.

Pleasure surges through you, your mind going blank as he uses your cunt to please himself, fingers creeping past your lips. “Suck.” Hazily, you wrap your lips around his fingers, swirling your tongue around his digits.

“Fuck angel, you’re really getting the hang of this,” his voice is full of enthusiasm while he continues to pump himself into you. You can feel yourself on the edge of climax, your cunt milking his cock, each stroke timed with a growl in his throat.

“Come for me, Y/n,” his fingers push down onto your clit while picking up his pace. The urgency in his rumbling voice and the pulsing of his fingers pressing into you sends you over the edge. You cry out his name as the orgasm is ripped from your body. His fingers don’t let up their pace as he slows inside of you. Your cunt threatens to push him out with the way it squeezes around him.

“Good girl,” the slick sounds of cock moving in and out of your abused hole reverberate around the room, slowly coming to a halt as he stills inside of you. His heavy breathing tickles the back of your neck.

Your knees give way under you, and he moves in tandem with you to the floor. The slick covers the insides of your thighs as you pant, recovering from the waves of pleasure that coursed through your body.

“On your knees,” he lets out in a raspy breath. “What do yo-”

“We’re not done with your exercises Y/n,” you weakly crawl forward so that your knees are pressed are on the tile, your arms trembling as you press your palms into the cold surface.

“Knees apart,” he prods your thighs spreading them for you. “They need to be line with your shoulders,” he instructs, whipping his mouth with the back of his hand, grabbing hold of your hip.

“Your eyes need to be looking straight ahead, so you keep your spine in line.” He positions behind you, bottoming out in your stretched hole. “You’re going to need to alternate between curling your back and straightening it.” You push back against him, following his instructions with a weak ‘yes.’ The authoritative tone in his voice ringing through your ears.

“Just like that. Fuck, you feel amazing.” You let out small moans as he continues his sloppy thrusts, using your body to stroke his cock. Continuing to undulate your back like he’d instructed, you feel his cock begin to twitch inside of you.

“Plea-” you beg him to give you more. Your core flexing and releasing around, you begin to push back against him, forgetting all about your instructions.

“You want more, huh?” His grip on your hips is impossibly tight. Fingernails dig into your flesh. With each thrust, you can feel the vibrations strike against your cervix, tears pooling in your eyes, and clouding your vision. Pain and pleasure blend into one as he fucks into your spent body.

“You have such-” he thrusts into your tight hole, “an eager little pussy.” You can hear the sound of him pulling air through tightly clenched teeth.

“Are you that hungry for my cum?” He pulls at your thighs, using them as a lever to inch further inside of your cunt, his thick cock threatening to enter your womb.

“I’m gonna cu-” you’re cut off by the tremors in his cock intensifying. Your hands give out from under you, your cheek pressed to the floor, vision going blurry. The buildup of pressure in your stomach releasing.

He stays buried in you, wet forehead resting against your heaving back, both lost for air. Your pussy continues to milk the cum from his cock as you both let out soft noises. Gruff pants escape from his lips with each pull.

The moment he pulls out of your abused core, you can feel the cum spilling out. You lay on the floor to catch your breath. The cold tile is the only thing tying you to reality. There is no sound in the room other than the both of you gasping for air, bodies spent.

“You still have plenty of work to be done before that back of yours is back in working order.” He smiles at you before walking to the mirror to readjust his tie. He walks over to the desk and opens the cupboard, pulling a towel from it and tossing it your way.

“Clean yourself up, you’ll need to schedule a follow-up appointment on the way out. Make sure you look… somewhat presentable,” he nods to your disheveled figure. Is he just going to fuck you and leave? Move onto his next patient while you lie in the other room, cum spilling out of your sore cunt?

“I’ll be seeing you here again next week.” You look up, startled to find him zipping his pants, threading the belt back through the loops. You hadn’t even noticed him standing, let alone dressing once again.

“I’m excited to continue working with you, Y/n! You’ll be feeling as good as new soon enough.” The same buoyant smile crosses his lips, a glint of satisfaction shining in his eyes as he closes the door.

Javier peeled himself out of the armchair with a grimace, his hand going to his lower back as he all but limped his way towards the kitchen. You frowned as your eyes followed him until he was out of the family room.

“Are you going to let me give you a massage?” You called out, moving onto your knees and looking over the back of the sofa as you waited for him to re-emerge from the kitchen.

“My back’s fine, baby.” Javier assured you unconvincingly, returning with two bottles of beer.

“You tossed and turned all night.” You reminded him, “You couldn’t get comfortable. Because your back hurts.”

He shrugged. “I wasn’t uncomfortable, I just had a lot on my mind.” Javier sat a bottle down on the coffee table in front of you, before moving back towards the armchair. He tried to mask his pained expression as he sat down, sitting stiffly in the chair. “Might have to replan the entire schedule with all this Clinton bullshit going on.”

“If your back’s fine then why are you over there? Hmm?” Your brows rose upwards, gesturing to the sofa beside you. “Already bored with me?”

He narrowed his eyes, “Can’t a man just sit in a chair?”

You shook your head. God, he was impossible sometimes. “Javier you have never chosen to sit in that chair over curling up on the sofa with me. Have you been abducted by the Pod People? Is there someone else?”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” He took a swig of beer before he hauled himself back out of the chair and moved towards the sofa. “Move your feet.”

You reeled them in beneath you, giving him an expectant look as he sank down beside you. You could see the strain in his neck as he slumped back against the soft cushions. “Javier, just admit you’re in pain!”

“No.” He huffed, arching his back as he tried to alleviate the pressure he was feeling in his lower back. “Son of a bitch.”

“Alright, we’re going to bed.” You said as you reached over and took the bottle out of his hand. “Come on. Up.” You clapped your hands together as you rose to your feet.

“Baby.” Javier refused to get up, patting the sofa beside him. “C’mere.”

You put your hands on your hips, staring down at him. “Don’t make me start counting like I do with Josie.” You warned him. “Come on, Javi. I promise you’ll feel better once I’m done with you.”

He rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. “Fine.” Javier relented as he shifted to the edge of the sofa, reaching for his beer again. “I don’t wanna waste these.”

You picked up your own bottle, taking a drink. “As soon as they’re finished, you’re letting me massage your back.”

Javier shook his head slowly, “It’s not that bad, baby. I’m just stiff from sitting through student meetings.”

“And why couldn’t you sleep last night?” You questioned as you took another sip, sitting down beside him.

“Because my back hurt.”

“That’s what I thought.” You gave him a look, before you shifted closer to him and rested your cheek against his shoulder. “Just tell me, Javier. Please?”

“I know, baby.” He reached over and gave your leg a squeeze, rubbing his thumb against your skin. “I just fucking hate this.”

You tilted your head and pressed a quick kiss to his jaw, the stubble there tickling your lips. “I know, but I’d much rather know when you’re hurting. I don’t need this macho shit.”

“It’s not macho shit,” He insisted. “I just hate having limits. You know? I don’t wanna worry about throwing my back out because Josie wants a piggyback ride.”

A soft laugh escaped you, “She loved riding around on your back when she was younger.” You mused, recalling the numerous times you’d come home to him walking around the condo on his hands and knees. As much as he loved working at the university and making a change in his student’s lives, you had never seen him more happy than he was in that two-year period that he stayed home with Josie.

“Hey,” You started, fingers ghosting over his jaw as you turned his face towards yours. “You always take care of me and the girls, let me take care of you Javi.”

Javier leaned forward and pressed his forehead against yours. “Alright, baby.”

“Thank you,” You kissed him softly, before taking his hand into yours as you started to get up. He reached for the remote and shut off the TV, before he followed you back towards the bedroom. The girls were both out cold, fortunately. Sofía was getting better about sleeping through the night.

“Strip.” You told him, before you vanished into the bathroom to get the small bottle of massage oil from under the counter. Javier had been good about giving you massages when you were trapped in bed during those final months of your pregnancy with Sofía.

When you returned, Javier had stripped down to his boxers and was laying on his stomach in the middle of the bed. “You think this is going to help my back?” He questioned, folding his arms beneath his head.

“If it doesn’t,” You whistled quietly as you moved to join him on the bed. “I’m sure Connie can help us find a nice chiropractor for you.”

“We really going to let everyone know I’m falling apart?”

“They already know it, old man.” You teased, leaning down to press a kiss to the spot between his shoulders. “Where does it hurt the most?”

“Lower back.” Javier informed you, reaching behind him to show you the spot.

“I’m getting you a lumbar support for your office chair.” You told him firmly, popping open the bottle of oil and pouring some into the center of your palm.

“The only person with a lumbar support on their chair is eighty.”

You rolled your eyes, “And did the eighty year old spend the better part of his youth doing what you did?”

“No.”

“That’s what I thought.” You rubbed your hands together before you smeared the oil over his skin, spreading it down the length of his spine. “Not to mention, I’ve seen the work you and Chucho did at the ranch. You grew up putting a hell of a lot of pressure and weight on your body.”

“Pops gets around just fine.”

You snorted, “Your pops also smokes weed.”

“What?”

“Oops.” You pressed the heels of your palms against his shoulder blades, rubbing them in tight circles as you worked them down his back. “You can’t blame him for not telling you.”

“What the fuck?” Javier started to laugh, but the sound shifted into a groan as your fingers found a particularly stiff part of his back. You worked on that spot, digging your thumbs in as you worked the oil into his skin. “When did that start?”

“Javier!” You laughed, shaking your head. “You really didn’t know? What sort of DEA agent are you?”

“A bad one, clearly.” He shifted beneath your touch, stretching out a little more comfortably. “How did you figure it out?”

“He offered me a joint after Danny’s wedding.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?”

“There’s a reason your father is one of my favorite people.” You grinned as he turned his head to look at you. “For the record, I said no… Seeing as I was breastfeeding still. Don’t be deceived, he’s got plenty of old man pain too.” You teased, working your fingers against the spot he’d pointed out to you.

Javier’s lips parted to respond to you, but instead of words another groan escaped from him. “Holy shit.”

“I told you it would feel good.” You shook your head, reaching for the bottle of oil and adding a little more to your fingers. You spread it over his lower back, working your knuckles against the tense muscles. “But you have to stop making those sounds.”

He opened his eyes and peered back at you. “That right there was nearly as good as sex.”

“And yet you have balked every day about letting me give you a massage.” You pressed your thumb into the same knot again, biting down on your bottom lip as he let out another sound of pleasure. “Do you not remember how much I enjoyed your massages when I was pregnant?”

“I do.”

“Mostly because it was the only way I could get you to touch me when I was pregnant with Sofía, but…” You shrugged your shoulders. “They feel really good.”

“I’m coming around to them.” He remarked, shifting again beneath your touch. “I might be a new man tomorrow.”

“Slow down there, babe.” You laughed, rolling your eyes. “Just because I work the kinks out, does not mean you should get yourself back into this same position in a day. Otherwise, you’ll be getting nothing but Bengay by the time it’s your fiftieth birthday.”

Javier grumbled, “Let’s rewind to this revelation about Chucho.”

You moved to straddle the backs of his upper thighs, giving yourself more leverage to work on his lower back. “What’s there to say? Your father knows how to manage his pain. It’s natural and it works.”

“It’s illegal.”

“So is a lot of other fun things.” You reminded him, “If you want to follow the law here in Florida, I hate to break it to you babe, but we’ll only be having sex in missionary from here on out.”

Another groan escaped Javier as you pressed your fingers into a sore spot just above his left hip. “Really?” He managed, his fingers tightening in the sheets beside his head.

“No more toys and our mouths must only be used for kissing.” You leaned forward and pressed a kiss to the back of his neck, your breath making the hairs at his nape move. “That doesn’t sound fun, now does it babe?” You questioned.

Javier reached behind him, his fingers playing through your hair where he could reach. “That doesn’t sound fun at all.” He agreed, “I just can’t believe my father was smoking dope right under my nose.”

You shrugged, “And to think, you’re the one of us that’s heralded for helping take down Escobar.” You sat back, dragging your hands down the length of his back, before you moved to get off of him. “How’s that feel?”

He stretched his arms out above his head, his forehead pressed to the mattress for a moment. “Remarkably better.” Javier answered as he turned to look at you. “Holy shit.”

You grinned at him. “I told you. Massages are magic.” You wiggled your fingers at him, “I’m gonna go clean my hands off.”

“Don’t be gone too long,” Javier quipped, rolling onto his back.

Your tongue darted out over your bottom lip as your eyes raked over his bare chest. You followed the line of dark hair as it dipped beneath his boxers ⁠— which showed off the outline of his hardened cock. “Oh, you really enjoyed that massage, huh?” You grinned, your gaze flickering between his cock and his face. “I’ll be right back.”

Javier nodded his head, his hand slipping down to cup himself through the thin fabric of his boxers. “I’ll be here.”

Watching him palm his cock sent a throb of want straight through you. “Don’t have too much fun without me.” You told him, shooting a finger gun at him before you grabbed the bottle of oil off the bed and headed into the bathroom.

You didn’t even bother putting the bottle back where it belonged, far too focused on cleaning your hands off as quickly as possible so you could get back to Javier. But even with your haste, by the time you made your way back into the bedroom, he’d moved further up the bed and rolled onto his side.

You couldn’t even be mad. He’d been holding all that tension in his back and you’d clearly done good with your work. And he hadn’t slept at all last night.

Carefully you slid into bed beside him and curled your arm around him from behind.

“Baby?” He mumbled.

“You’re good, Javi. Go to sleep.” You whispered, running your hand over his bare chest as you pressed a kiss to his shoulder. “I love you.”

“Mhm.” Javier sighed happily. “Love you too.”

8 Benefits Of Having Sex While Pregnant

According to couples, sexuality during pregnancy can be completely changed, and experienced very differently. Hormones could change your outlook on sex, but it would be a shame to deprive yourself! Know that the sensations of pleasure during pregnancy can be increased tenfold. The vagina is better lubricated and more sensitive in women, it is necessary to go beyond the fears that you may have. Making love during pregnancy has many benefits. Gather here more details about sex.

Beneficial For Childbirth

Vaginal penetration, especially in the third trimester, has a positive effect on the female body. The pelvic muscles being solicited, this prepares them for childbirth, it is the same for the cervix. This is why it is often recommended that women have as much sex as possible when they are beyond the threshold of 9 months of pregnancy. Sex could induce childbirth. Be careful, however, with amalgams, it does not in any way promote premature childbirth! There are no medical contraindications when the growing conditions of the fetus are normal.

Beneficial For The Whole Family

Good For The Baby

The baby feels the well-being and pleasure of his mother at all times during pregnancy, and especially when she reaches orgasm. Hormones released by sexual pleasure cause uterine contractions. The baby is then rocked in a real bubble bath, and who does not like to take a ride in a jacuzzi?

Good For Mother

The benefits don't stop with pelvic strength training for women. A future mother always needs to be reassured, both about her physique and her relationship. Sex is then a way for her to feel loved and wanted by her partner. This makes her feel good and makes her feel secure, which is vital in order to welcome the baby in good emotional conditions.

Good For The Father

The father can sometimes be neglected in the process of pregnancy. But, as he sees his wife change and become an active part of the baby's life, he may feel forgotten. It is also important for him to feel loved by the mother of his child. Having no physical change himself, feeling this close contact can only be beneficial for his future role as a father.

Good For The Couple

Sex is therefore beneficial for each individual, but also for the couple as a unit! Parents will reconnect more quickly after childbirth is over. Sometimes parents wander a bit away when it comes to caring for the baby, sex can help avoid this problem. The baby will be even happier, he will arrive in a relaxed and serene atmosphere, where love communication is always present.

A Natural Pain Reliever

Some mothers may feel tired or bad about themselves during pregnancy. This is normal and it is nothing to be alarmed about. But again, sex can help. Your body releases oxytocin during sex, an enormous amount of which during orgasm. This natural hormone stimulates the production of dopamine and endorphin. It is they which give you this ambient pleasure and well-being. You will then be much less prone to various pains. It is obviously not recommended to use this means if the act itself is painful.

Find The Right Position

At the start of pregnancy, sexual positions are not really a problem. You can continue as before, but still avoid pushing the imagination too far. The bigger the belly, the more difficult it will be to find a comfortable position for both parents. It is then necessary to adopt softer positions, which will avoid breast, abdominal and lumbar pressure. Do not hesitate to place cushions under the head and shoulders of the woman to eliminate any discomfort.

She can sit on her husband, get on all fours, you can both get to the side or the husband behind his wife, there are a lot of comfortable positions. Take a look, for example, at the position of the teaspoons and the Amazon, which can prevent several pains. Avoid all the same a too deep penetration which could hurt.

No Risk For The Baby

You need to clear up your fears right away: there is no risk of hurting your baby during your intercourse! The fetus is indeed very well protected in its bubble of amniotic fluid. It is completely isolated from the outside world, and the liquid absorbs all shocks. The baby follows the movements of its mother and cannot be squeezed.

It is also protected from possible microbes conveyed by intercourse: the cervix is blocked by a natural secretion that blocks the way for a large majority of intrusive organisms.

You also do not risk a piercing of the water bag due to the movements of the penis. You will never touch the baby. Understand that the vagina and uterus are completely separate from each other. About 5 centimeters separate the wall furthest from the vagina and the tip of the baby's head.

Pregnancy tends to disrupt a woman's motor skills, but it is better to seek suitable solutions rather than to deprive yourself of sex. Sex contributes to the well-being of the body and the mood of the mother-to-be. The only case where sex is reduced to a minimum is when there are complications (presence of infections or risk of premature labor). Your doctor will then keep you informed. In all other circumstances, there is no reason to deprive yourself, on the contrary, it is beneficial for the whole family.

Alphabet NSFW - Kazuya Mishima

I got a new template, it's more refreshing and not so repetitive.

Warning🔞: It's nsfw "explicit", duh (yes, I control myself quite a lot)

A=Aftercare - What they do/act like after sex.

If you tell him you're okay and he doesn't worry, he'll put his arms around you and fall asleep.

Sex with Kazuya can be intense, he has no self-control so after they have finished you will be bit sore.

He will ask you if you are ok or if you have any discomfort, he will bring you a hot pack or analgesics to relieve your pain.

B=Bondage - Are they into BDSM, and how far they’ll go if they have a green light.

The answer is a yes, Kazuya is a dominant being, therefore, seeing her helpless and nervous makes him feel more powerful and excites him at high levels, however, although he loves the idea of having you under his control he makes sure you are comfortable especially if you are new to these things.

C=Cum - pretty self-explanatory.

About Kazuya’s semen is thick and his spurt is quite moderate, Kazuya needs 2 or 3 rounds to reach orgasm for that reason he prefers to fill you up to the brim than waste it on your body.

This also includes that it drives him crazy to see you swallow his semen desperately.

D=Dom - Are they dominant, submissive, a switch?

He is dominant, he will never allow you to be in control unless you are giving him a blow job under his desk while he has an important meeting.

E=Edgeplay - Similar to ‘Kinks’ except it’s a lot riskier than usual kinks (knifeplay, breathplay, etc.).

He'll only approve of choking. Kazuya may be a sadist but he'd never make you bleed.

F=Fantasy - A fantasy of theirs (ex: a teacher/student fantasy).

Rol-play, if you work for him you must keep in mind that there will always be the sexual tension of "Boss - employee".

Foreplay, Kazuya is a man impatient at the time of penetration, that's why he prefers foreplay, it will help you prepare for what's to come.

G=Got Caught - How they react when they get caught having sex.

If they are in a public place like his office or some part of the building where they work, Kazuya will continue to penetrate you and will not stop until he reaches the climax. Ignoring the intrusion until he's satisfied, after he's finished he'll kill the guy who saw them and make sure his subordinates keep their mouths shut.

H=Hot Spots - A place that drives them crazy when stimulated (EX: neck).

their erogenous zones are neck, lumbar and pelvis if you make a contact with these places either with your mouth or hands for Kazuya this is a pass.

I=Intimacy - How romantic they are, or can be, before, during, or after sex.

If it's your first time, it will decorate the room in a way that won't make you nervous and will help you relax, won't pressure you if you still don't feel ready, will do everything possible not to be rude and not be afraid

When he gets your confidence the level of romanticism will drop a bit. If you're upset with him, however, Kazuya will most likely return to his intimate form for you to forgive him.

J=Journey - Their ideal way of leading up to sex.

It's up to you if you really need to tell her how eager you are.

He will probably ignore you so you will have to play all your cards with him, you must be daring like lifting your skirt slightly, touching certain parts of his body, etc. Anything you do will automatically lead to sex.

K=Kinks - I’ll list a few of their kinks, be they the normalized ones or kinkier kinks.

Discipline or punishment and Spanking: punishing you for something you did, seducing him, making him jealous, doing those things will cause him to put you upside down on his legs and start whipping you until he marks the shape of his hand.

Daddy kink (Boss kink): I'm afraid he has these kinks, but he only allows it in the room while he's fucking you. Outside the bedroom those words are forbidden unless you text him.

L=Location - Where they like to have sex, do they like risky locations, etc.

Any place in the house, even in his own office, does not have a favorite spot.

M=Masturbation - How they are when they get themselves off, what they get themselves off to.

He'll only do it when you send him nudes, so take it for granted that he'll send you an HD video of him masturbating

N=NO - A few things that they will absolutely, under no circumstances, ever do.

Nothing nasty.

Nothing dangerous, much less make you bleed.

O=On’s - Their top turn on’s that they have (things that’ll get them super horny super quickly).

Babydoll: Watching you use them turns it on too quickly, so use different ones in each session even if they end up being destroyed.

Nudity: you must be aware that this is dangerous as it gets horny in an instant and can punish you for provoking it.

watching you masturbate. There's nothing to explain.

P=Position - Their favorite position to have sex in.

Holiday: that's the name of the position where he puts you on top of his desk and takes you right away, sometimes he just sits in his chair and you mount him by making swaying movements.

We will also include honeymoon,he turns you upside down while lifting your thighs and buttocks, it's a good way to fuck you from behind, a very classic and intimate pose for him, making you remember every feeling.

Q=Quickie - Do they like it, do they prefer quickies over actual sex, etc.

It's an alternative when he's pretty busy and has neglected you. But it's also a quick way to relieve stress.

R=Rough - How rough they are, or get, when in bed.

Pretty rough and impatient for that reason always try to have some foreplay so you are wet enough and he can get in more easily.

S=Stamina - How long they can go before they tap out.

It can last all day if you let it, but by the time you get out of the 4th round you're pretty tired. So it allows you to rest for a while.

T=Toys - Do use toys, do they own them, what kind, etc.

Remote control bullet-shaped vibrator, that's their favorite toy and they use it when they're horny but they have to do other activities so they joke about it until they get to their bedroom.

U=Unfair - How much they tease you, how they tease you, etc.

He ignores you for the purpose of annoying you, at the end of the day you're so in need of him, it's easier for Kazuya to have control over you

V=Volume - How loud they get when having sex, things they might say, etc.

He doesn't make any noise, the only sound that comes out of him is his breathing, and when he's about to cums, loose he occasionally "hmm" or "swallow that", "don't waste anything" the latter is when he cums inside you

W=Wild Card - a random letter for the character of your choice.

He loves the fact that you are loud all the time, that you scream and shout his name in a loud tone is music to his ears.

X=X-Ray - How they look with their clothes off.

His penis is the size of a can of coca-cola (6 oz), not so big or small but with a fairly thick circumference. He is circumcised.

The skin of his penis is the same color as his normal complexion, the glans is dark and has prominent veins.

Y=Yearning - How often they need to have sex.

He can hide it quite well, at first sight, you can see that he does not need sex to survive, but in private and when he is with you he is really eager to be inside you.

Z=ZZZ - How quickly they fall asleep after having sex

To be honest, he is not very talkative after sex, he prefers to keep silent and wait to catch his breath if his partner falls asleep first he will keep looking at nothing until he gives up and goes to sleep.

The 8th House and Surgery/Death

So I am going to dive into medical astrology + the 8th House. The 8th House in terms of death now-a-days usually symbolizes an emotional, spiritual, or possible death of identity and rebirth. In medical astrology the 8th House can determine surgeries and death. I don’t know if this is comforting or not, but know that this part of astrology is less spiritual and magic than it is based on medieval science. You can always try to look at these interpretations as metaphorical. For newer planets this is a mixture of modern medical astrology and predictive astrology interpretations.

Surgeries 💉

Aries in the 8th House: Associated with head, face, and possibly brain surgery.

Taurus in the 8th House: Associated with surgery involving the throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal cords, and ears.

Gemini in the 8th House: Associated with possible surgery dealing with the respiratory system. Surgery or mending of hands and arms.

Cancer in the 8th House: C-section or other surgeries needed during childbirth, breast surgery, and some older interpretations mention skin-related surgeries, possibly skin-grafting.

Leo in the 8th House: Associated with surgeries with the heart, spine, and lower back.

Virgo in the 8th House: Associated with surgeries within the abdomen, intestines, spleen, and nerves.

Libra in the 8th House: Associated with kidney, lumbar, and endocrine surgery.

Scorpio in the 8th House: Surgeries with childbirth and fertility have been mentioned for this position, although Cancer might be more associated. Possible surgeries with genitals, bladder, urethra, and rectum are possible. Anything that deals with hormones can be here too.

Sagittarius in the 8th House: Associated with sciatic nerve, hips, and thigh surgery. There are some translations that mention eye surgery. I’ve seen some mentions of brain surgery.

Capricorn in the 8th House: Associated with knees, skin, teeth, possibly spine, and bone surgery.

Aquarius in the 8th House: Associated with shins, ankles, legs, circulatory system, and brain surgery.

Pisces in the 8th House: Associated with nerve and foot surgery and also has a connection to brain surgery.

Sun in the 8th House can indicate ease in healing from surgeries and invasive procedures or even healing naturally.

Moon in the 8th House can indicate a surgery that is life-changing, mostly within emotions. This could be a loss of movement, a lifestyle change, etc. Hopefully it is something helpful but feelings of rage, regret, or grudges can form from the procedure.

Mercury in the 8th House can indicate a fast recovery from surgery. This can also indicate someone who mentally deals with the surgery and recovery very well and flexibly.

Venus in the 8th House is suppose to be favorable for pain somehow. Maybe they almost enjoyed being drugged during the procedure or maybe they didn’t feel a lot of pain during recovery. Venus in this House, when it comes to surgery has an association with physically improving and maybe aesthetically. Venus here could also attract others while they are sick or recovering to their aid or general connection.

Mars in the 8th House can indicate turmoil or struggles during surgery and recovery. There is a battle going on within a person’s health. Mars here can indicate a good success rate for “winning the battle”. Sudden or aggressive reasons to go into surgery can appear here.

Jupiter in the 8th House has a connection to good luck in surgery and recovery. This planet can also indicate a slow and gradual recovery. When diving into deeper sides of the planet surgery may be life changing for personal growth.

Saturn in the 8th House can indicate struggle in surgery and recovery. However unlike Mars, this one has a lot of heaviness and possible negativity to it. Recovery can take a long time and have plenty of setbacks. Health can seriously mature a person within this position. This individual could have bad luck with surgeons and doctors, could be skeptical of healthcare, or refuse to get the help they need in a timely manner.

Uranus in the 8th House could try new or uncommon procedures. There is an association with avoiding surgery. An interesting association with self-surgery! Also one could go into surgery without really needing it.

Neptune in the 8th House has an association with being unaware in surgeries. An example could be someone already unconscious going into surgery. Surgery when too young to remember. There is an association with having a relationship to anesthesia, maybe allergy, really liking the sensation, or awareness.

Pluto in the 8th House is associated with fast-paced surgeries, extreme trauma surgeries, possible risk of death or permanent damage, but also sudden, maybe miraculous turn-arounds or recovery.

I’ve read that MC in the 8th House can have a connection to surgery and death. IC in the 8th House can indicate a third-party/outsider emotional trauma to loved ones surgery. This is a loose translation.

Death 💀

For body parts and physical damage/ailments look to the parts of the body associated with each sign. Many of them were listed above.

Sun in the 8th House can indicate a natural death, old age.

Moon in the 8th House can indicate death surrounding a lot of emotion. Maybe someone passed with a lot of issues not resolved, could connect this to murder or maybe an innocent executed. I’m sure we could add more to the list but keywords are grudges, sorrow, hurt, anger, regret. This could also be a death that is heavily sad for a family and community. Of course I would think so many deaths are like this anyway.

Mercury in the 8th House is interesting because it indicates a carefree or easy death. A death free of regrets. There is also associations with good awareness and communication among those they left behind.

Venus in the 8th House has death surrounding peace, painless, and justice. This could also translate to acceptance among loved ones.

Jupiter in the 8th House has good luck tied to it but this may be more for the people left behind. Acceptance or new wisdom could come of the person’s death. A gradual death is associated but some also mention this being a more painless death, maybe more so in the mental realm.

Mars in the 8th House indicates a death that is sudden, violent, or aggressive. This can also be looked at as a sudden death for loved ones, something they did not see coming. There is the association of loved ones harboring a lot of anger due to their death.

Saturn in the 8th House indicates a painful death or one that is very tragic somehow. This position can also indicate that loved ones really, really struggle to move on or that their death spreads negativity to others. Possible connection to dying in old age. Connection to others forced to be more mature, self-reliant, or practical due to the person’s death.

Uranus has an interesting association with predicting their own death, awaiting it, or causing it, but it doesn’t indicate that they meant to cause it, so I wouldn’t necessarily point to suicide. The death can be strange and it can also be quite unpredictable/sudden. There is a slight association for dying for one’s beliefs. Also great change can come from this individual’s death.

Neptune in the 8th House has a strong tie to dying in one’s sleep or somehow being unaware of passing. There is the association of their death being a sacrifice for others. Others could be unaware of their death for a long time. Missing person or body can be associated here.

Pluto in the 8th House has ties to suicide, to sudden death, to death that really shocks others, and a death that transforms others. There is a lot of darkness that can surround one’s death here. Their death could set a chain reaction for loved ones. This can also be seen as their death making other people stronger.

I’d like to note Pluto and Mars are associated with “barely escaping death” too. Of course we all have to go one way or another.

-Virgo and Libra are associated with poison or choking. Virgo can be associated with allergies or food poisoning. Taurus has a connection to choking too.

- Cancer and Scorpio have connections to death during childbirth.

-Due to how new asteroids are there isn’t much written about them in the 8th House and death, but some theories: Ceres: Could act a lot like Venus in indicating a “painless death”. Juno: Could indicate the death of a spouse or due to a spouse Lilith: Has a connection to violence and sex Vesta: Possible work accident, stress induced, could have a tie into some interesting sexual or gender themes. Pallas: Getting injured or death doing what someone loves, maybe due to defending someone, or getting hurt/dying for a cause, someone’s death could inspire wisdom or a new task for those left behind Chiron: Has a connection to wounds being healed or re-opened due to one’s death or from other’s death.

Newer planets: Pluto Neptune Uranus Alternative translation for older astrology: Pluto- Mars Neptune- Jupiter Uranus- Saturn

If you are freaked out don’t worry, I was too when I looked up my own chart. Again, as a disclaimer, the 8th House and “death” is almost always looked at as metaphorically.

Having Sex While Pregnant Is Good For Your Health

As per couples, sexuality during pregnancy can be totally different, and experienced in an unexpected way. Chemicals could change your point of view toward sex, however it would be a disgrace to deny yourself! Realize that the vibes of joy during pregnancy can be expanded ten times. The vagina is better greased up and more delicate in ladies, it is important to go past the feelings of trepidation that you might have. Having intercourse during pregnancy has many advantages. Come here for more details about sex.

Advantageous For Childbirth

Vaginal infiltration, particularly in the third trimester, positively affects the female body. The pelvic muscles being requested, this sets them up for labor, it is no different for the cervix. For this reason it is generally expected suggested that ladies have however much sex as could be expected when they are past the edge of 9 months of pregnancy. Sex could instigate labor. Be cautious, be that as it may, with blends, it doesn't in any capacity advance untimely labor! There are no clinical contraindications when the developing states of the hatchling are typical.

Useful For The Whole Family

Great For The Baby

The child feels the prosperity and delight of his mom consistently during pregnancy, and particularly when she arrives at climax. Chemicals delivered by sexual delight cause uterine constrictions. The child is then shaken in a genuine air pocket shower, and who generally prefers not to take a ride in a jacuzzi?

Great For Mother

The advantages don't stop with pelvic strength preparing for ladies. A future mother in every case should be consoled, both with regards to her physical make-up and her relationship. Sex is then a way for her to feel cherished and needed by her accomplice. This causes her to feel better and causes her to have a solid sense of reassurance, which is fundamental to invite the child in great passionate conditions.

Really great For The Father

The dad can once in a while be dismissed during the time spent pregnancy. However, as he sees his significant other change and become a functioning piece of the child's life, he might feel neglected. He actually must feel adored by the mother of his kid. Having no actual change himself, feeling this nearby contact must be valuable for his future job as a dad.

Great For The Couple

Sex is consequently valuable for every person, yet in addition for the couple as a unit! Guardians will reconnect all the more rapidly after labor is finished. In some cases guardians meander a piece away with regards to really focusing on the child, sex can assist with staying away from this issue. The child will be significantly more joyful, he will show up in a loose and quiet environment, where love correspondence is available 100% of the time.

A Natural Pain Reliever

A few moms might regret themselves during pregnancy. This is typical and it is not something to be frightened about. Be that as it may, once more, sex can help. Your body discharges oxytocin during sex, a huge measure of which during climax. This regular chemical animates the development of dopamine and endorphin. It is they which give you this surrounding delight and prosperity. You will then, at that point, be substantially less inclined to different agonies. It is clearly not prescribed to utilize this implies assuming that the actual demonstration is difficult.

Track down The Right Position

Toward the beginning of pregnancy, sexual positions are not actually an issue. You can proceed as in the past, yet at the same time try not to drive the creative mind excessively far. The greater the tummy, the more troublesome it will be to track down an agreeable situation for the two guardians. It is then important to take on milder positions, which will stay away from bosom, stomach and lumbar tension. Try not to stop for a second to put pads under the head and shoulders of the lady to dispense with any distress.

She can sit on her significant other, get down on the ground, you can both get aside or the spouse behind his better half, there are a great deal of agreeable positions. Investigate, model, at the place of the teaspoons and the Amazon, which can forestall a few torments. Stay away from overall a similar a too profound infiltration which could hurt.

No Risk For The Baby

You want to clear up your feelings of dread immediately: there is no danger of harming your child during your intercourse! The embryo is without a doubt all around ensured in its air pocket of amniotic liquid. It is totally separated from the rest of the world, and the fluid ingests all shocks. The child follows the developments of its mom and can't be crushed.

It is additionally shielded from potential microorganisms passed on by intercourse: the cervix is hindered by a characteristic emission that impedes the way for a larger part of meddling life forms.

You additionally don't chance a puncturing of the water sack because of the developments of the penis. You won't ever contact the child. Comprehend that the vagina and uterus are totally different from one another. Around 5 centimeters separate the divider farthest from the vagina and the tip of the child's head.

Pregnancy will in general upset a lady's coordinated movements, however it is smarter to look for appropriate arrangements rather than to deny yourself of sex. Sex adds to the prosperity of the body and the temperament of the mother-to-be. The main situation where sex is decreased to a base is when there are difficulties (presence of contaminations or hazard of untimely work). Your PCP will then, at that point, keep you informed. In any remaining conditions, there is not an obvious explanation to deny yourself, unexpectedly, it is gainful for the entire family!

19 Research highlights the benefits of massage chairs

While pharmacies and western medicine practice are very useful and effective for healing, many also believe in self-healing. Massage with massage chairs and other complementary therapies can be used to aid the treatment of certain diseases, and these studies are conducted to determine the benefits of massage chairs. If you are unsure about the positive effects and benefits of massage with massage chairs on the body, here is a summary of what the benefits of massage chairs look like: 1. Massage chairs support the treatment of muscle pain symptoms. A massage chair study for nine randomized patients with myalgia for 5 weeks or more. The results indicate that the pain, along with anxiety and depression, has improved markedly, with effective treatment almost immediately. Massage therapy with massage chairs can be a viable alternative to muscle pain. 2. Reduce abdominal fat A pilot study was conducted on middle-aged women with abdominal obesity including aromatherapy and non-perfumed massage (placebo). Each group applied the massage for two weeks and measured the weight, appetite, and abdominal circumference. This study demonstrates that massage combined with aromatherapy is effective in reducing obesity in middle-aged women. 3. Massage to promote blood circulation Red blood cells work very seriously to promote health in the body by bringing oxygen to parts of the body and removing carbon dioxide from the lungs so that it can breathe. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and are needed to promote healthy functioning systems. People with anemia may benefit from the massage to increase the red blood cells. 4. Pain relief during childbirth One of the biggest pain experiences a woman can have is the pain of giving birth. This study included 46 women with spontaneous pain and no drug use. Participants received a 30-minute lumbar massage by a physiotherapist during which the pain began to appear. Main results are measured on the pain scale using an intuitive analog signal. At the end of treatment, the severity of the pain was significantly lower in the massage group. While not changing the number of hours or other results of the pain, massage therapy has no power to reduce the level of pain in difficult times. 5. Self-Sleep Shiatsu Massage Compiled by researchers at the University of Alberta, this recent study appears to show that self-made shiatsu massage can act as a sleep aid. This is especially true for people suffering from insomnia due to chronic pain. Pressure techniques, made by a sample of nine people suffering from chronic pain, seem to help promote sleep almost immediately. Participants sometimes even fall asleep before treatment ends. The treatments seem to be related to both physical benefits as well as cognitive therapy that capture attention while subjects are trying to sleep. 6.Benefits for Autistic Children Families with autistic children often find ways to help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. A study conducted in Oregon tested 103 preschoolers with a massage therapy specifically developed for children. The treatment is done by trained parents to massage their children daily. Results showed that overall autism level decreased by 32% among participants, leading to improved language and behavior. 38% improvement in sensory problems and 49% improvement in texture and sensitization sensitivity after 5 months of treatment. 7. Chronic leg pain syndrome A case of a 35-year-old woman with Chronic Foot Pain Syndrome (RLS) suggests that therapy with point-trigger therapy, deep tissue massage, and sports massage can be a beneficial treatment. This woman received a 45-minute massage session twice a week for three weeks. Based on a record that the subject was kept during that time, the symptoms of RLS were minimized after two treatments and continued to improve throughout the massage period given. 8. Improve ADHD As attention-deficit disorders continue to develop in prevalence in adolescents as well as adults, alternative treatment options are being sought. This study included 28 adolescents with ADHD, divided into two groups. Each group received a massage therapy or relaxation therapy 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Massage therapists consider themselves happier and observers find that they are less restless after the sessions. 9. Reduce dysmenorrhea

All women in history have had pain and anxiety during menstruation. This placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 63 female nurses who rated their menstrual pain at least 5 on a scale of 10. The subjects treated with natural aromatherapy showed Their pain and menstrual status were significantly lower than those of the control group. These results suggest that self-administered aromatherapy massage on the abdomen can be effective in treating women struggling with dysmenorrhea and anxiety.

10. Reduce the symptoms of wrist pain

A numbness and tingling sensation is triggered by the compressed nerve at the wrist, known as the wrist tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study included 16 adults with CTS. Treatment includes massage therapy once a week for four weeks as well as a daily self-made massage routine. Participants experienced higher levels of clamping power, lower levels of perceived pain, and lower levels of depression and anxiety. The results of this study suggest that CTS symptoms can be minimized by treating daily massage therapy.

Increase interactions between mothers and newborns

In an effort to support the fight against postnatal (postnatal) depression, this study was conducted to determine whether or not massage helps to increase maternal or neonatal attachment. Including 34 postnatal mothers with signs of maternal depression, the test group was included in a newborn massage class while the control group attended a support group. The sessions are once per week for five weeks. The maternal and newborn massage group showed a significant improvement in interactions, with the conclusion that this could be an effective treatment for a healthy mental health during postnatal depression. .

12. Massage to promote sleep in postmenopausal women

Everyone knows about hot flashes and anxiety in women experiencing menopause, but less commonly, about 28% and 63% of menopausal women suffer from insomnia. Massage helps activate the lymphatic system, circulatory system and nervous system, improves body functions and restores balance. The results of this study approved by the Federal University of South Paulo show that regular massage can help alleviate some difficulties that women not only suffer from insomnia but also with depression and anxiety.

13. Increase the quality of life in patients with breast cancer

This study, conducted in Wichita, Kansas, in 2008, was performed to determine the din therapeutic benefits of emotional and physical benefits for patients treated for breast cancer. Treatment consists of 30 minutes of massage per week for three weeks in a row. In general, experienced participants reduce some of the symptoms, including sleep disturbance and anxiety, pointing to higher quality of life and overall functioning. Patients also reported analgesic and pain, concluding that massage therapy could act as an effective natural method to reduce the effectiveness of treatment for breast cancer by reducing side effects and improving total function. can

14. Relief from depression

For the purpose of studying the effects of massage therapy on mental health (especially depression) in adolescent mothers, this included 32 participants. They received 30 minutes of massage therapy or relaxation sessions, twice a week for five weeks. Both groups showed lower anxiety levels, but the treatment group showed clinical differences in stress hormone changes, heart rate and cortisol levels, in addition to behavioral changes.

15. Significant improvement in social relationships

When the hormone oxytocin increases and the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) decreases in some people with the use of massage therapy, this study examines the effects of social behavior on 95 mixed sex couples in Los Angeles, California. . Blood is drawn before and after massage therapy. The results showed an increase in OT, and decreased ACTH, NO (Nitrous Oxide), and BE (Beta-endorphin) for those in the massage therapy group, concluding that social interaction could be improved for Those who have the right to treat with massage chairs.

16. Improve the immune system

Gentle Thai massage, combined with essential oil therapy, was used in this study in 66 patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy. Three massage sessions were performed with ginger and coconut oil over a period of one week, and the finding was that the number of boosted immune-boosting blood cells was significantly higher in patients who received massage than those who did not. In addition, massage therapies can be used to help reduce the severity of the chemotherapy symptoms.

17. Strengthen your ability and alertness

Who knows that massage chairs can not only make you feel better, but it can make you smarter? In this study, 26 adults were given a massage chair while a control group of 24 people was asked to sit on a massage chair and relax for 15 minutes. Treatment / control is performed twice a week for five weeks. The patient's EEG level was monitored before, during and after the study on the first and last days. In addition, before and after sessions, participants performed mathematical calculations, provided a sample of saliva for cortisol, and completed a depression scale. The results indicate that the massage group had lower anxiety, lower depression, lower cortisol levels, and better mental alertness. So, if you are preparing for a mental tough situation? Try massage chair first!

18. Improve sleep

Neurologists have found that insomnia may be associated with a lack of serotonin. Patients who have difficulty sleeping at night or sleeping all night for more than six months are considered chronic insomnia. A study through the University of Miami gave a 30-minute massage, twice a week for five weeks. A sleep scale is used along with a urine sample to measure serotonin levels. The results showed that patients using massage chairs showed an increase in serotonin levels as well as improved sleep.

19. Control your asthma

An increasing problem for the health of today's children, asthma causes serious problems with breathing and breathing. This study included 44 children with asthma, half of whom were in the control group. Children in the massage group are given 20 minutes of massages each day at bedtime for one month. The results suggest that long-term massage therapy can lead to better respiratory tone as well as less sensitive, leading to better breathing around in asthmatic children.

Smart Lift Desk - Make Your Work

https://www.highlowdesk.com/smart-lift-desk---make-your-work-high-profile.html

Are you sitting at your desk all day and typing on the keyboard?

We drive, work, study and sit for hours every day.

For a moment of comfort, sitting and squatting, it is easier to have a backache!

Do you know?

According to statistics, the number of patients with lumbar spondylosis in China has already exceeded 200 million!

There is also a trend of constant rejuvenation!

More than half of the 30-40 year old suffer from lumbar spondylosis!

The smallest lumbar spondylosis patients in Xiamen are only 13 years old!

Many people obviously have not been injured, why do they suffer from lumbar spondylosis?

In fact, whether sitting or standing, it will put pressure on the spine!

Especially when sitting, the body will not consciously lean forward.

Or just bend over and lie on the table.

Almost everyone will have a bad sitting position.

Years and months have caused irreversible damage to the spine!

In order to alleviate the situation of sedentary back pain, you may have tried a variety of products.

High-priced lumbar pads, massage chairs; daily massage technicians report there...

That may change from the daily work habits,

Speaking of changes in work habits, this "artifact" is indispensable!

The company's electric adjustable stand up desk

"Standing office" is not "one stop at the end", but can support different office modes. This office model is now popular in Silicon Valley. From the perspective of future work patterns, the lift table will gradually replace the ordinary desk, becoming the ideal office standard.

With the deepening of research on office habits, we realized that sedentary work is awkward for the body. Office hours of more than 8 hours allow you to have little time to leave your seat and get active, releasing the negative energy that has accumulated over time. This not only causes physical damage on the body, but also invisibly suppresses human creativity, brings unnecessary negative emotions and forms mental damage.

With the tonality of the body, sitting is lacking, automatically lifting, switching to a standing working state. This is also the way of respecting freedom and loftyness that is being advocated after the 80s and 90s.

In terms of product positioning, "sitting and standing alternately" is more in line with the voice of the younger trend market. Especially in the IT, financial and creative worlds of first-tier cities, the topic of standing office is becoming more and more widely discussed. Obviously, this has a social attribute. We also hope that through the influence of first-tier cities, we will spread to second- and third-tier cities, and we will “sit and alternate” and the healthy office will be truly integrated into every real office environment.

As mentioned above, the current domestic office market is still far from being as mature as the US and European markets.

The company has always wanted to innovate the office environment and create a phenomenal "electric adjustable stand up desk".

Tolstoy once said that "a person who is burying his mind, if you don't move your limbs often, it is a very painful thing." The research and development and technical team consisting of professional engineers of the company put the focus of problem solving. In the "regaining body perception".

"We found that the core needs of the office staff are not to interfere with the rhythm of the work, but also to make the body move, so in the operation of the intelligent lifting table system, product design pays special attention to sensitivity and stability. But in the aesthetics of the product appearance Sex has also been improved." This is the original intention and ideas of our product development.

The company has always been committed to serving customers and the pursuit of the highest quality. Everything revolves around customer requirements, continuous improvement, strives to exceed customer expectations, strictly control the whole process of standards, correct the concept of thinking and standardize scientific standards. Bring a new smart life experience to customers around the world and enjoy life.

Vertebral Body Changes in the Lower Spine of Basketball Players

Authored by Mansoorehossadat Rozan

Abstract

Professional sport activities or work may exert considerable stress on the spine. We aimed to assess the effects of loading on the deformation of the vertebral body of the twelfth thoracic vertebra (T12) and the lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5), which are subjected to considerable stress in basketball players. A total of 20 basketball players were assigned to one of two groups, based on their experience with playing basketball: under 5 years, junior group; over 5 years, senior group. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging; the relevant geometric variables were measured using specialized software, and the outcome measures were calculated using specific formulas; the outcome measures were compared between the junior and senior groups. The results indicated a significant difference between the two groups with respect to the compression deformity ratio at four levels (T12, L1, L2, and L3), and to the biconcave deformity at one level (L3). Our data suggest that the mechanical loading on lower spine plays an important role in the development of degenerative changes of the vertebral body, which may be considered a risk factor for future injury and low back pain in basketball players.

Introduction

During sports activities, several important musculoskeletal structures are required to perform complex spinal movement patterns that involve bending and twisting at high speeds. Therefore, the spine is subject to the action of many forces, due to both physiological motion (flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion) and accessory motion (shearing tension, compression) [1]. Depending on the direction, magnitude, and point of application of the forces, the spine may suffer deformation and injury. Abnormalities of the spine may also cause injury and pain among athletes because of the unique demands related to each specific sports activity. Lumbar spine injuries represent a significant concern to the athletes, coaches, and physicians.

During athletic endeavors, the lumbar spine is subjected to considerable stress due to unfavorable biomechanical situations typically occurring during such activities [2]. The thoracolumbar and lumbar spine are particularly susceptible to injury due to the large forces exerted in these regions, which are related to: body weight; loads created by motions such as flexion, extension, and rotation [3]; and loads created by accelerating motions especially in sports demanding high speed movements.

In athletes, independent variables that contribute, individually or in combination, to lumbar spine injury include poor technique, poor conditioning, and abnormal anatomy; thus, young athletes may have a spinal deformity that is incidentally or potentially related to their sports activities [4].

Heavy physical work can lead to degenerative changes in the spine [5,6], with body position being a factor that can dramatically affect the load on the lumbar spine. It was shown that the vertebral body undergoes a gradual change in shape under the application of a constant load [7]. Compressive damage arising from repetitive loading is most likely a common event in life; damage to the vertebral body causes decompression of the adjacent disc, leading to internal disc disruption and further degenerative changes [8-10]. Compression fractures can occur with axial loading in a flexed or vertical position. The capacity of the spine to resist injury is decreased if the forces applied involve flexion and are of long duration [11].

It has been demonstrated that the load on the spine during physical activity can be measured based on changes in stature [12]. In analyses of force transmission and in model studies on the spine in high level athletes, it is necessary to estimate reference geometric parameters. It is particularly important to determine the size of the intervertebral discs, the size and shape of the vertebrae, and the overall shape of the spine [13].

Besides the loads carried or lifted by the upper extremities, loads caused by specific, frequent movement during sports activities cause significant loading stress to the vertebral bodies, inducing continuous remodeling of the vertebrae. This leads to degeneration and deformities of the vertebral body, which is associated with increased risk of injury. In the case of the lumbar spine, loads due to flexion, extension, rotation, and acceleration are typically associated with deformity of the vertebral body.

To assess the potential deformation, the height of the vertebral body is measured in three places: at the anterior margin (Ha), at the posterior margin (Hp), and at halfway between these margins (Hm). Three types of vertebral deformities can then be defined based on these heights and on the anterior-posterior diameter (Dap) of the vertebral body. Thus, an anterior wedge deformity is characterized by a low Ha/Hp ratio; a biconcave deformity is characterized by a low Hm/Hp ratio; and a compression deformity is characterized by a low Hp/Dap ratio [14].

The present study attempted to assess the effect of sportsrelated loading on the remodeling of the twelfth thoracic vertebra and the five lumbar vertebrae in basketball players, as predictive markers for future injury or lower back pain.

Material and Methods

Participants

For this study, 20 basketball players (mean age = 20.90, standard deviation = 2.84) with and without symptoms of lumbar pain underwent a case history and a physical examination. The participants were classified in two groups: senior players, with ≥ 5 years of experience; and junior players, with < 5 years of experience. The two groups were matched for sex and age. All participants provided informed consent before commencing the experiment. Players who underwent previous operation in their spine, and players with history of smoking habit were excluded from the study. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of our university.

Measures

The pain description for each player was identified by a selfreported questionnaire and a physical examination conducted by an orthopedic specialist. The age, body height, mass, and the body mass index (BMI) of all the subjects were documented. No participant was medicated during the study. A dedicated 1.5 T MRI was performed by technicians for lateral views of the lumbar spine and sacral region of all participants (Figure 1).

The whole body of the vertebra was estimated on each image using Kinovea version 0.8.15 (Kinovea, France) and syngo fast View version 1.0 (Siemens, Munich, Germany), and all measurements were performed blinded to any other information or measurement regarding the subject.

Procedures

After completing the imaging process, geometric variables were selected using the two referred software, including: lumbar body index (Hp/Ha ratio) (Smith et al., 1996), anterior wedge deformity (Ha/Hp ratio), biconcave deformity (Hm/Hp ratio), and compression deformity (Hp/Dap ratio) [14].

Statistical analysis

Data of outcome variables were tested using independent t-test for differences between the two selected groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 17.0 (IBM, Chicago, Illinois, US), and level of significance was set as 0.05.

Results

Our findings showed that, between the senior and junior groups, there were no significant differences regarding age, weight, height, or BMI. This result suggests that these factors did not affect the results of the study.

The height of the vertebral body was measured in three places: at the anterior margin (Ha), at the posterior margin (Hp), and at halfway between these margins (Hm). Three types of vertebral deformities can be defined based on these heights and on the anterior-posterior diameter (Dap): anterior wedge deformity (low Ha/Hp ratio); biconcave deformity (low Hm/Hp ratio); and compression deformity (low Hp/Dap ratio). SD: standard deviation; N: number of participants in the group.

The height of the vertebral body was measured in three places: at the anterior margin (Ha), at the posterior margin (Hp), and at halfway between these margins (Hm). Three types of vertebral deformities can be defined based on these heights and on the anterior-posterior diameter (Dap): anterior wedge deformity (low Ha/Hp ratio); biconcave deformity (low Hm/Hp ratio); and compression deformity (low Hp/Dap ratio). P-values lower than 0.05 were considered significant.

The ratios, for both groups, of Hm/Hp, Ha/Hp ratio, and Hp/ Dap for each level of the lumbar spine, and for the 12th thoracic vertebral body are shown in Table 1. Further, we observed significant differences between the senior and junior groups regarding Hp/Dap ratio at the spine levels T12 (t = 3.67, p = 0.002), L1 (t = 6.65, p ≤ 0.001), L2 (5.34, p ≤ 0.001), and L3 (t = 3.28, p = 0.004) (Table 2), revealing that senior basketball players exhibit greater compression deformity in these levels of the spine when compared to junior basketball players.

Accordingly, we also observed greater compression deformities in the L4 and L5 levels of the senior basketball players when compared with junior players; however, those results were not statistically significant.

Moreover, the senior basketball players had significantly higher Hm/Hp ratio at L3 level (t = 2.47, p = 0.02) when compared with the junior basketball players, revealing that senior basketball players exhibit greater biconcave deformities in L3 when compared to junior basketball players.

On MRI examination, no significant difference between the two groups was observed regarding anterior wedge deformity, or lumbar body index.

Discussion

High level sports participation in adolescents and young adults is associated with a greater incidence of low back pain and structural abnormalities, as revealed in imaging studies [15]. Back pain has significant effects on the athletes’ performance and is estimated to occur in 1.1% to 30% of athletes, with some variation depending on the type of sports activity. Among basketball players, low back pain is a common problem [16-20]. Pain in the spine is often difficult to diagnose. Loading appears to play an important role in the development of radiographic changes of the lumbar spine, and one factor that can dramatically affect the load on the lumbar spine is body position [21]. In the present study, we used MRI, which is considered the most accurate imaging modality for assessing the spine [22]. However, it is important to note that abnormal imaging findings are not always related to the source of the pain, as pathology can exist without pain, and vice versa. In the present study, we assessed degenerative changes related to vertebral body size and shape, which may be considered predictive markers for future lower back pain or injury.

Basketball is popular worldwide and creates unique physiological and physical demands on the players. For example, playing and dribbling the ball are usually executed in a position of spinal flexion, Repetitive jumping, landing from height, and abrupt changes of direction create significant forces acting on the spine. Such repetitive loading can create microscopic damage within a material or tissue, which gradually builds up until gross failure occurs. In living tissues, the process of damage accumulation is opposed by the process of adaptive remodeling [1,14]. According to Alexander [3], the type of injury that occurs in the lumbar spine, which is under significant stress in basketball players, is dependent on the direction, magnitude, and the point of application of the forces in the spine. Ruyssen-Witrand et al. [23] proposed that vertebral size should be considered a potential independent risk factor for vertebral fracture.

Several studies have compared lumbar spine abnormalities of elite athletes with those in non-athletic groups with respect to various sports such as wrestling, soccer, tennis, track and field, and gymnastics [24-26].

In this study, we focused on two groups with the same sex, range of age, and range of BMI, but with different experience with respect to playing basketball. We hypothesized that, independently of other factors, more years of playing in basketball-specific body positions and acceleration motions may cause more abnormalities in the lumbar spine. Indeed, we found that the vertebrae T12, L1, L2, and L3 showed a significantly higher compression deformity in senior basketball players. Likewise, L3 had more biconcave deformities (lower Hm/Hp ratio) in senior basketball players. Thus, playing basketball for more years appears to cause more loading on the lumbar spine, and deformity of the vertebral body.

Our result suggests that, in basketball players, T12 and L1-L3 are at higher risk of degenerative deformities and fractures, as they may be affected by compression and biconcave deformities to a higher extent. Schmitt et al. [26] reported that the concavity index at all levels of the lumbar spine was similar in different groups of track and field athletes. On the other hand, Reilly & Seaton [27] observed an average spinal shrinkage rate of 0.4mm/ min in players dribbling a hockey ball. Predisposing factors in basketball include repetitive spinal flexion, extension, twisting, and loading. Poor development of abdominal musculature in conjunction with strong paraspinal muscles may increase the stress on the lumbar spine during hyperextension, while repetitive jumping and changing of direction create significant forces throughout the spine [1]. In basketball, athletes must bend and rotate their bodies. The specific patterns of loading experienced by the basketball players during dribbling, frequent flexion, and hyperextension may explain the higher rate of radiographic changes we found for the vertebral body of T12, L1, L2, and L3 in more experienced players.

No other significant differences were observed in our MRI examination of the lumbar spine with respect to lumbar index at any level, or compression and biconcave deformity of vertebrae L4 and L5. We did find slight differences with respect to anterior wedge deformity, but this observation did not reach statistical significance, and thus requires more attention before it can be hypothesized as a risk factor for stress fractures.

The present study is limited due to its small population sample, and the fact that it did not account for factors like diet, quality of sleep, or the physical and mental condition of the participants.

Conclusion

In this study, we focused on loading on the lumbar spine caused by basketball-specific body positions, which may translate into vertebral deformities and thus increase the risk of pain and spinal injury, and ultimately prevent the player from participating in sport events. Athletes with minor fractures in the lumbar vertebral body but without neurologic involvement may be considered to return to the sport competition, but under the supervision of the coach and physician; however, they should be made aware of the risks of future injury caused by the deformities. Coaches and athletes may consider these risk factors and apply proper training and conditioning to avoid the development of vertebral body deformities.

In general, athletes and coaches in sports that have an increased risk of lumbar spine injury should be educated in preventive techniques. Specific sport training may be considered to support this part of the spine, with the understanding that significant forces are transferred to the lumbar vertebrae, and with knowledge of the sport-specific deformation likely to occur at various spinal levels.
