@over_clox @fossilesque genuinely before this message i just assumed it dripped to the yaya. I wonder if that is how Brittany Spear's sister(i think?) got pregnant.

The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. They don't like hearing it and find it difficult to say. Whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his "dick" or his "rod" or his "Johnson".

Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski? The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, however only while batting eyes heavily.

Tbf even as a woman i don't like that word, it makes me feel dirty :c

it's like "moist", yeah there's nothing wrong with it yet nonetheless it just sounds.. a little bit unnerving
and like, penis is kinda similar, it's too clinical and funny sounding.

we need a word like dick for the vagina, short (hah) and snappy and neutral.

It's okay to say penis.
