        Even IF you compare, this is probably not someone to envy.

        Everybody I know personally who had vibes like that was a mess. Always surrounded by drama, almost up to reality TV levels.

        It’s fun to enjoy the horny from afar, without any commitment to the rest of the life. But for your own life it’s important to realize that even if you have A LOT of sex, >80% of your daily life will be NOT having sex - and that all kinds of people have sex and can be really kinky even… they just don’t sit down and write about it.

        My high points are when my cat does something particularly cute, when I remember a bash command without needing to look it up, or when some jerk in a book I’m reading finally gets their comeuppance.

        I have very little joy for comparison to steal. It’s just kind of disorienting to realize that someone can live like that. Like, wanting something that involves human connection (whether sexual or otherwise), and actually getting it. And not being judged for having those needs, let alone announcing them.

        Something about it doesn’t compute. It just kinda breaks my brain a little. Can’t wrap my mind around what that would be like.

          My high point was reading this comment. And I used to be the male version of Violet 20 years ago.

              It’s just a simple compliment to an internet stranger. Their comment made me feel happy for a moment. Take a deep breath and move on if you didn’t like mine.

                Hey, thanks stranger!

                Side note, I’ve always been curious whether “simping” is short for “simpering” or “sympathizing.” I’ve seen it used either way, I think.

                Like, when it’s used as an insult to people who are overly obsequious towards another, I could see it meaning “simpering.”

                But when it’s used as a noun to refer to someone who supports something detestable, I could see it meaning “sympathizer,” and then subsequently being converted to verb form by nature of internet slang…

                  I had to look this up and Wikipedia says two things that I didn’t expect. Looks like “sympathizer” wasn’t far off:

                  • Originally a shortening of “simpleton”, the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English traces usage of the noun simp to 1903.
                  • Simp began to have the connotation of someone being “soft” and “overly sympathetic” in the 1980s, when it was used by West Coast rappers […] Simp was referenced by Sir Mix-a-Lot in his 1992 hit “Baby Got Back” in the lyrics, “A lot of simps won’t like this song”.

        I mean I find their posts interesting for that same reason, but I don’t feel the need to get railed by old japanese men so I don’t think much joy is being stolen from me

        you should print the last sentence on the door of every gym. And for slightly different reasons, in all male bathrooms/changing rooms 😄

      They just weren’t shitposts, which just made it come off as attention seeking to me.

        I am by no means a expert on the matter but from what I gathered she seems to suffer from HPD. I had a work colleague who would speak very similarly to how she did and make up these wild sex experiences that either did not happen, or were wildly exaggerated

          I never even assumed their posts were about things that have actually happened. Based on the wildly different kinks, it was rather suspicious to me that those were just lewd fiction.

            What threw me off about her account was when I called her out about her age. She mentioned being in high school one moment being on vacation with her family another moment being on a beach nude having wild sexcapes. There’s just way too much bullshit going on in any of her posts and she got super pissed off and it was fucking hilarious how many of the horny trolls got pissed off at me as well.

              I am actively trying to avoid using ‘her’ for the same reason, but who am I to judge?

            A woman is going around a restaurant, running up to patrons, lifting up her skirt and shouting “SUPER PUSSY!!!” When she approaches the last table and does this, an older gentlemen sets his menu down, looks the woman up and down and says, “I think I’ll have the soup.”
