Just Chat! / Re: How do extreme germaphobes have sex?

The best-selfpublicised germophobe was of course der Fuhrer Donald Trumph. All stories about His ever having had sex or even joked about touching a woman are of course faked by the Communist press. Being of holy birth Himself, He impregnated virgins in the same way as the other Almighty.

I've heard a lot of things about President Penis, and that one is new to me! Hitler was also a germophobe and there is some evidence to support that he never had penetrative sex. Or perhaps sex at all. After the war, his various housekeepers said they never saw seminal fluid on his sheets. Ever.

Just Chat! / How common were the Magdalene Laundries in the UK?

« on: 21/04/2022 23:05:05 »

I read about them and saw the movie. They were prisons for ostracized women. What confuses me is how they were able to function just decades ago, despite the UK's Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. Were the metaphorical bars of these prisons in the form of the girls having no money, and basically having the misguided understanding that no would else will hire or care for them in any way? And perhaps also that the facilities were the pill they had to swallow to get into heaven?

Or do they have sex? Think of all the preparation and can spraying taking place, just completely killing the mood. Perhaps money can be made here by inventing a product line of whatnots to cater to their sexual needs while their germ worries are temporarily alleviated? Or perhaps during a state of arousal, a germophobe doesn't care (or cares less) about germs?
I did see a news story about a guy with a variant of misophonia where he enters into fight-or-flight when hearing most types of bodily sound. When having sex with his girlfriend he cancels the bodily sounds with an effective noise canceler in his ears. He also wears it when he eats with her (or anyone).

When I was in France around 1990, Parisiennes were disgusted by the number of McDonald's outlets that were springing up around the city.

People like you portray McDonald's as an oppressive imperial force that just goes where it wants. You have to remember, the reason McDonald's sprang up in France is for the same reason they spring up anywhere: people want them.

Just Chat! / Should condom companies invest in a truly one-size-fits-all?

« on: 12/04/2022 01:10:00 »

Imagine a condom that is just as snug on a micropenis as it on a macropenis. You may not be aware of it, but when you purchase small-sized condoms, the clerk behind the register is judging you. We can just purchase them online, but obviously, when you need them now, online condom purchasing is useless. There's a good chance that the person packaging your parcel will judge you also. I know a guy who knows a guy that requests his extra-small condoms to be delivered to him in a box with the words NOT EXTRA SMALL CONDOMS stamped all over it.

Just Chat! / I saw something today that made me question my view on the supernatural

« on: 08/04/2022 09:13:12 »

My truculent denial of all things supernatural is currently undergoing a rethinking process. The front desk agent that checked me in my hotel a few hours ago was a clean-shaven Indian. After I finished signing and initialing my registration card, I looked up at the clean-shaven Indian, and at that moment I witnessed a full mustache appear under his nose out of nowhere. It just poofed. Poofed out of nowhere, taking the shape of what I recognize to be a mustache.

Physiology & Medicine / Is sex better in the morning or evening?

« on: 23/03/2022 21:59:07 »

I see advantages to both. If a man, for example, is emptied of excess spermulate every morning before work, he can focus better on his job. At night, after a passionate love-making session, it is easier for both parties to fall asleep. Lord Byron had sex or masturbated eighteen times a day, which helped his writing and fighting. The great feminist Mary Wollstonecraft was said to have it even more. Professor McGonagall NEVER had sex but managed to do her job well. But she's fictional. Thoughts?

Do you Brits still say "shagg"? Please say it's a slang that died...
