- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Never related to hookup culture.
Growing up there was very much a mantra of you don't know how to fuck unless you've fucked a bunch of random people.
Which could be true if using another body to masturbate is the same as fucking.
It turns out many women are coded to experience pleasure most when they feel safe. This doesn't apply to every women and that doesn't mean you can't experiment consensually but a ONS is really not conducive to immersive pleasure in my opinion.
There was a lot of we need to confirm sexual chemistry before a relationship too. I personally find building something with a person (from as little as a small commitment to life itself) to be a force multiplier behind intimacy, elevating it from hopeful ember to an all consuming flame of passion, satisfaction and fulfillment.
I prefer building a relationship, exploring affection and intimacy and then sexual exploration. Is it masculine? Depends who you ask. But if it isn't then the problem lies in how we define masculinity in my view.
Some ppl romantacize and overthink everything like in the comic(me), some don't and just live life. In the end, most ppl don't care about that. And hookup culture isn't really them fucking complete strangers, they're usually friends first or communicate in some way.
