There are so many things to do and accomplish before we leave this earthly plane.
And so many people have compiled that infamous bucket list.
Now I hear people are putting together an "R rated" version of that list.
Besides travel and money, everyone wants to dabble in sex and crazy.
Let's read on...
Redditor Yankees727wanted to discuss all the dreams we have compiled before we kick the bucket, including the "forbidden" stuff. They asked:
"What is on your NSFW bucket list?
"WARNING!!! THIS IS AN OVER 17 READ!!"
I've done most of my list. (I had my twenties in NYC.. so...) You'll have to wait for the memoir.

Certification
"Operating a forklift (I’m not certified)."
linneaskylar
"Not certified either but I've done it, remember to keep the actual fork bit as low to the ground as possible to avoid stabbing something or someone."
YaskyJr
"I crashed a forklift into 3 delivery trucks after I forgot to put the emergency brake on and it rolled down a ramp. Didn’t get fired because I wasn’t certified and my boss told me to drive it anyways."

Routines...
"My wife and I create a yearly bucket list of sex stuff. It's usually made at the end of December, sometimes on NYE after the kids gone to bed. It's not all stuff we've never done. In fact I would argue that most stuff is pretty vanilla in 2022. It's just stuff that aren't a part of our normal sex routine that we want to make sure gets included occasionally."
"But it does allow for the opportunity to have a conversation about stuff we've never tried before. It also gives us something to refer to when we're planning something special for the other."

Frisky
"Have sex in the woods."
Lus_
"I did it. Was hiking with an ex. She was wearing some really short shorts showing the bottom of her butt. Teasing each other became too much and we ducked behind a big tree to get frisky. Heard some other hikers walk past us but never felt like they’d see us. Was a thrill."

Peace Out
Angela Bassett Burn GIFGiphy"On my last day of work (3 years, 10 months and 7 days from today if all goes well) I will pour myself a whiskey at my desk and enjoy it until someone calls me out. Then I'll continue enjoying it as I walk out of the office."

Oh that is the way to leave a job. One day... but not this job. :)

Olivia Benson Wow GIF by Law & OrderGiphy"Bondage. I want to try it, but I'm too scared. But the idea sounds fun."

In the Air
"I call it a 'f**ket list'and I want to have sex while skydiving This is something I’d LIKE to do, not something I’m actually GOING to do, it’s illegal, it’s just a fantasy, please stop hitting me up with logistics, I don’t care!"
Cheekygirl97
I’m intrigued as to what about this is appealing to you. I can’t imagine jumping out of a freaking plane naked and going through the hell that would be figuring out how to do it while you’re falling at ridiculous speeds. But I also don’t want to skydive ever in my life, so perhaps I’m biased, haha."

Be Free
"A lot, most of which isn’t too interesting. But the one big one have a mutual free-use day/weekend."
TheNatanist
"My partner and I would be able to do anything to each other that we wanted (with a few hard limits discussed ahead of time) with no need to ask first. So she could make me do whatever she wanted and do whatever to me, and vice versa (obviously we’d have a safe word if there was something we did not want to do)."
TheNatanist
Look at Me!
"Get caught doing it at a party or gathering with friends and just continue having sex while the person watches."
Short_Round777
"This is similar to mine, but I rather just be having sex in the same room as others. I don’t want to be the center of attention and I don’t want anyone trying anything with me or my partner, but just being in the same room and knowing that another couple is having fun as well."

Under the Lights
"Sex under the northern lights."
Xurielishere
"I live at the polar circle and I think this would be extremely overrated unless you got a room with a glass roof and no light pollution. Otherwise you'd have to do it outside in the cold."
skankhunt25
"I'm moving to Alaska in a few months! I don't think it will take much to convince my wife of this. She's super excited about seeing the northern lights."

Natural
"Doing it in a forest in summer. The thrill sounds fun."
MisterXnumberidk
"My girlfriend and I did this last year and, well, just don’t do it. I didn’t count how many mosquito bites I had, but my lower half was raw and NOT in the way you’d want it to be."
mulhollandbyproxy
"I lost my virginity this way. my advice is being bug spray and wipes. it feels good though. primal and natural and animalistic. it’s arguably the most natural way to do it."
YellowSequel
Domination
"I really want to be submissive to a guy for once after acting tough out there."
snottycauliflowers19
"You might be surprised how common this one is. For a lot of subs, getting dommed is about just giving up power and responsibility and feeling totally free. It's really common for people who feel like they have to be responsible and dependable all the time, because it's the only time they feel like they are truly free."
"A friend of mine went through severe parentification as a child (being made to act like a parent for younger kids because real parents can't or won't). It's a bad thing, leaves kids to grow up feeling a constant sense of worry and guilt because they're not doing enough. When she discovered subbing it was like some kind of miracle for her. For literally the first time in her life, she wasn't responsible for anything - she handed over all her power to someone else, and she was free."
"I imagine for a lot of men, this would be really enticing, with all the pressure mainstream society puts on men to always be strong and responsible. I hope you find what you're looking for. Remember, it's healthy and normal and not at all weird, and it's good that you've recognised it's something you want."

Shock Value
"Run an extension cord across a pool to power a cement cutter and use it without goggles."
ChrisPChip222
"I've done this, like most nsfw bucket list items, it's not nearly as exciting as it was in your dreams."
starkiller_bass
"I run cords through pools sometimes. Never popped breaker so far. It's sketchy though I guess."
squatwaddle
After Work
"Quitting my job and retire worry free."
sh1be
"Being worry free is nearly impossible. Your worries just change."
Frankeex
"Oh gawd. That's just some good old fashioned post orgasmic torture now."
Fluttershine
Travel Sex
"Discrete sex on a long-distance train or bus ride. Skirt, no panties, on him. Make him keep me quiet."
RustyFlirt5714
"I've always wanted to get a room on a train. I check every few years to see if the prices on Amtrak are still absurdly high and the rooms are still crappy, so far it's been a yes on both for decades. Gotta leave the country for a decent bang train."
ASeriousAccounting
Party Time
"Get caught doing it at a party or gathering with friends and just continue having sex while the person watches."

"This is similar to mine, but I rather just be having sex in the same room as others. I don’t want to be the center of attention and I don’t want anyone trying anything with me or my partner, but just being in the same room and knowing that another couple is having fun as well."

the centerpiece...
Cool Down Season 2 GIF by FriendsGiphy"I have several, but one of the more interesting is to be the bound centerpiece of a sex party, free use. Never gonna do it, but the fantasy is scorching hot."

“moved in”
"My ex completed one that I didn’t know I needed. Parents went out of town for the week so she 'moved in' with me. When i came back from work I totally forgot my ex was still at my house and I opened the door, she was completely naked with a leash around her neck and on her knees, with one hand and unbuttoning my pants with the other. I couldn’t even close the door and not one word was spoken."

Y'all are sassy. Things are getting hot in here.

Experiencing death is a fascinating and frightening idea.
Who doesn't want to know what is waiting for us on the other side?
But so many of us want to know and then come back and live a little longer.
It would be so great to be sure there is something else.
But the whole dying part is not that great, so we'll have to rely on other people's accounts.
Redditor AlaskaStiletto wanted to hear from everyone who has returned to life, so they asked:
"Redditors who have 'died' and come back to life, what did you see?"
Sensations
Happy Good Vibes GIF by Major League SoccerGiphy"My dad's heart stopped when he had a heart attack and he had to be brought back to life. He kept the paper copy of the heart monitor which shows he flatlined. He said he felt an overwhelming sensation of peace, like nothing he had felt before."

Recovery
"I had surgical complications in 2010 that caused a great deal of blood loss. As a result, I had extremely low blood pressure and could barely stay awake. I remember feeling like I was surrounded by loved ones who had passed. They were in a circle around me and I knew they were there to guide me onwards. I told them I was not ready to go because my kids needed me and I came back."
"My nurse later said she was afraid she’d find me dead every time she came into the room."
"It took months, and blood transfusions, but I recovered."
good_golly99
Take Me Back
"Overwhelming peace and happiness. A bright airy and floating feeling. I live a very stressful life. Imagine finding out the person you have had a crush on reveals they have the same feelings for you and then you win the lotto later that day - that was the feeling I had."
"I never feared death afterward and am relieved when I hear of people dying after suffering from an illness."

Free
The Light Minnie GIF by (G)I-DLEGiphy"I had a heart surgery with near-death experience, for me at least (well the possibility that those effects are caused by morphine is also there) I just saw black and nothing else but it was warm and I had such inner peace, its weird as I sometimes still think about it and wish this feeling of being so light and free again."
TooReDTooHigh
This is why I hate surgery.
You just never know.
Shocked
Giphy"More of a near-death experience. I was electrocuted. I felt like I was in a deep hole looking straight up in the sky. My life flashed before me. Felt sad for my family, but I had a deep sense of peace."
Admirable_Buyer6528
The SOB
"Nursing in the ICU, we’ve had people try to die on us many times during the years, some successfully. One guy stood out to me. His heart stopped. We called a code, are working on him, and suddenly he comes to. We hadn’t vented him yet, so he was able to talk, and he started screaming, 'Don’t let them take me, don’t let them take me, they are coming,' he was scared and yelling."
"Then he yelled a little more, as we tried to calm him down, he screamed, 'No, No,' and gestured towards the end of the bed, and died again. We didn’t get him back. It was seriously creepy. We called his son to tell him the news, and the son said basically, 'Good, he was an SOB.'”

Colors
"My sister died and said it was extremely peaceful. She said it was very loud like a train station and lots of talking and she was stuck in this area that was like a curtain with lots of beautiful colors (colors that you don’t see in real life according to her) a man told her 'He was sorry, but she had to go back as it wasn’t her time.'"
Hannah_LL7
"I had a really similar experience except I was in an endless garden with flowers that were colors I had never seen before. It was quiet and peaceful and a woman in a dress looked at me, shook her head, and just said 'Not yet.' As I was coming back, it was extremely loud, like everyone in the world was trying to talk all at once. It was all very disorienting but it changed my perspective on life!"

The Fog
"I was in a gray fog with a girl who looked a lot like a young version of my grandmother (who was still alive) but dressed like a pioneer in the 1800s she didn't say anything but kept pulling me towards an opening in the wall. I kept refusing to go because I was so tired."
"I finally got tired of her nagging and went and that's when I came to. I had bled out during a c-section and my heart could not beat without blood. They had to deliver the baby and sew up the bleeders. refill me with blood before they could restart my heart so, like, at least 12 minutes gone."
Fluffy-Hotel-5184
Through the Walls
"My spouse was dead for a couple of minutes one miserable night. She maintains that she saw nothing, but only heard people talking about her like through a wall. The only thing she remembers for absolute certain was begging an ER nurse that she didn't want to die."
"She's quite alive and well today."
Hot-Refrigerator6583
Well let's all be happy to be alive.
It seems to be all we have.
Trying to lose weight is a struggle understood by many people regardless of size.
The goal of reaching a healthy weight may seem unattainable, but with diet and exercise, it can pay off through persistence and discipline.
Seeing the pounds gradually drop off can also be a great motivator and incentivize people to stay the course.
Those who've achieved their respective weight goals shared their experiences when Redditor apprenti8455 asked:
"People who lost a lot of weight, what surprises you the most now?"
Redditors didn't see these coming.
Shiver Me Timbers
"I’m always cold now!"
– Telrom_1
"I had a coworker lose over 130 pounds five or six years ago. I’ve never seen him without a jacket on since."
– r7ndom
"140 lbs lost here starting just before COVID, I feel like that little old lady that's always cold, damn this top comment was on point lmao."
– mr_remy
Drawing Concern
"I lost 100 pounds over a year and a half but since I’m old(70’s) it seems few people comment on it because (I think) they think I’m wasting away from some terminal illness."
– dee-fondy
"Congrats on the weight loss! It’s honestly a real accomplishment 🙂"
"Working in oncology, I can never comment on someone’s weight loss unless I specifically know it was on purpose, regardless of their age. I think it kind of ruffles feathers at times, but like I don’t want to congratulate someone for having cancer or something. It’s a weird place to be in."
– LizardofDeath
Unleashing Insults
"I remember when I lost the first big chunk of weight (around 50 lbs) it was like it gave some people license to talk sh*t about the 'old' me. Old coworkers, friends, made a lot of not just negative, but harsh comments about what I used to look like. One person I met after the big loss saw a picture of me prior and said, 'Wow, we wouldn’t even be friends!'”
"It wasn’t extremely common, but I was a little alarmed by some of the attention. My weight has been up and down since then, but every time I gain a little it gets me a little down thinking about those things people said."
– alanamablamaspama
Not Everything Goes After Losing Weight
"The loose skin is a bit unexpected."
– KeltarCentauri
"I haven’t experienced it myself, but surgery to remove skin takes a long time to recover. Longer than bariatric surgery and usually isn’t covered by insurance unless you have both."
– KatMagic1977
"It definitely does take a long time to recover. My Dad dropped a little over 200 pounds a few years back and decided to go through with skin removal surgery to deal with the excess. His procedure was extensive, as in he had skin taken from just about every part of his body excluding his head, and he went through hell for weeks in recovery, and he was bedridden for a lot of it."
– Jaew96
These Redditors shared their pleasantly surprising experiences.
Shopping
"I can buy clothes in any store I want."
– WaySavvyD
"When I lost weight I was dying to go find cute, smaller clothes and I really struggled. As someone who had always been restricted to one or two stores that catered to plus-sized clothing, a full mall of shops with items in my size was daunting. Too many options and not enough knowledge of brands that were good vs cheap. I usually went home pretty frustrated."
– ganache98012
No More Symptoms
"Lost about 80 pounds in the past year and a half, biggest thing that I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen mentioned on here yet is my acid reflux and heartburn are basically gone. I used to be popping tums every couple hours and now they just sit in the medicine cabinet collecting dust."
– colleennicole93
Expanding Capabilities
"I'm all for not judging people by their appearance and I recognise that there are unhealthy, unachievable beauty standards, but one thing that is undeniable is that I can just do stuff now. Just stamina and flexibility alone are worth it, appearance is tertiary at best."
– Ramblonius
People Change Their Tune
"How much nicer people are to you."
"My feet weren't 'wide' they were 'fat.'"
– LiZZygsu
"Have to agree. Lost 220 lbs, people make eye contact and hold open doors and stuff"
"And on the foot thing, I also lost a full shoe size numerically and also wear regular width now 😅"
– awholedamngarden
It's gonna take some getting used to.
Bones Everywhere
"Having bones. Collarbones, wrist bones, knee bones, hip bones, ribs. I have so many bones sticking out everywhere and it’s weird as hell."
– Princess-Pancake-97
"I noticed the shadow of my ribs the other day and it threw me, there’s a whole skeleton in here."
– bekastrange
Knee Pillow
"Right?! And they’re so … pointy! Now I get why people sleep with pillows between their legs - the knee bones laying on top of each other (side sleeper here) is weird and jarring."
– snic2030
"I lost only 40 pounds within the last year or so. I’m struggling to relate to most of these comments as I feel like I just 'slimmed down' rather than dropped a ton. But wow, the pillow between the knees at night. YES! I can relate to this. I think a lot of my weight was in my thighs. I never needed to do this up until recently."
– Strongbad23
More Mobility
"I’ve lost 100 lbs since 2020. It’s a collection of little things that surprise me. For at least 10 years I couldn’t put on socks, or tie my shoes. I couldn’t bend over and pick something up. I couldn’t climb a ladder to fix something. Simple things like that I can do now that fascinate me."
"Edit: Some additional little things are sitting in a chair with arms, sitting in a booth in a restaurant, being able to shop in a normal store AND not needing to buy the biggest size there, being able to easily wipe my butt, and looking down and being able to see my penis."
– dma1965
People making significant changes, whether for mental or physical health, can surely find a newfound perspective on life.
But they can also discover different issues they never saw coming.
That being said, overcoming any challenge in life is laudable, especially if it leads to gaining confidence and ditching insecurities.
