      I can not answer why, but I’ve been told I do it too.

      And wake up holding my junk a lot of the time.

      A lot of the times it’s definitely to reposition balls.

      So sometimes not because it’s comfortable per se (and it is), but because doing it avoids possible discomfort, I guess.

      Also, morning wood. What’s that about? What’s the benefit of getting an erection when we wake up? O.o

          Yeah this is an answer I’ve heard, but it’s sort of generalised.

          I’d like a every detailed medical explanation on why it happens specifically when waking up.

            It’s the wrong answer. Also, it’s not just when you wake up - it’s at various times during the night. The real answer is the sacral nerve: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/men-get-morning-erections-5-answers-questions

            You’ll notice them in the morning most because a) you’re awake and b) you’ve had several hours for your bladder to fill, probably enough that you need to relieve it. This puts physical pressure on the sacral nerve, causing the erection. In turn, the erection closes the sphincter to the bladder more tightly because getting urine in the vagina during sex would change the pH and possibly kill sperm you have deposited/will deposit, which makes not tightening that sphincter an evolutionarily disadvantageous trait. This does make it something of a self-reinforcing cycle, though.

      Using your belt/waistband is a comfortable and good way of stopping your arms dangling and flopping around while you relax/sleep.

    Male here. Is it true that sometimes farts unexpectedly head north and get lost in the caverns of the bubblegum forest?

    Yes. I’m a guy, and I would love to get a girl’s take on this.

    Do you think Fermi’s “Great Filter” is not necessarily that a civilization destroys itself, but that it discovers a way to destroy the Universe?

    Like, maybe the fabric of our reality is more fragile than we realize, and the reason we don’t see “aliens” is that the universe doesn’t get old enough for intelligent life to meet.

    Of course, this assumes we are in a statistically “average” Universe, since presumably there could be a Universe in which intelligent life co-evolves within the same solar system.

        I believe that science, math, are more inextricably linked to philosophy than people tend to think.

        While my idea is particularly half-cocked, the Great Filter theory is an important question for us as a species to answer. If evidence ever came to light that there is some challenge awaiting us that could wipe out our species, it would behoove us to at least be aware that such a challenge exists - even without necessarily knowing any specifics.

        I gotta admit, I really wanted to like 3BP on Netflix, but imo they added way too much “personal drama”. It’s like they intended to sprinkle it on and the lid came off the container lol. It was worth it just to see the ship though.

          Fyi, math and science is philosophy. Science is how philosophy started to actually get answers to the questions it was asking(the scientific method) and math is one of the languages it did it through. The Cult of Pythagoras was a group that believed all answers could be found through numbers and math.

          Philosophy helped birth both of those fields.

    For the males:

    Could you imagine being in a relationship with a woman who takes on the “masculine role,” i.e. taking you out, taking initiative, being the breadwinner, protecting you, etc?

    Asking because I’ll forever be searching for a man who wants this type of relationship. I don’t know. Reversed roles are sexy, sue me.

    Yeah there’s one that I’ve wondered for a while now. Awhile back, I found out that women don’t have prostates but they can still feel pleasure from that hole. How can they feel pleasure from that hole if they don’t have a prostate?

    Ladies, I’m partially physically disabled, stuck laying down 80% of the time, and rarely ever leave a home. Still in my 30’s, but actually fit and don’t look half bad by most accounts. However, I’ll never get better physically. If there is someone out there for everyone, who is out there for me? Can you convince me to believe you, as I’m totally resigned to solitude.

    I’m a guy.

    Question: on several intimate occasions with more than a few partners I have notice partners will cup my pecks…

    It makes me feel self-conscious and would like to know why some of you cup pecks? 🫠

      The only people that have ever high fived me are assholes that put all their strength into it. Then my hand burns in pain for the next 30 minutes. I don’t want more abuse from another drunk asshole .

    Sup, targeted at women.

    Like, how do you deal with menstruation when it’s expected soon.
    I mean, do you wear a tampon/pad/cup/whatever else there is in advance, just in case or…
    I guess it can’t be predicted to the minute.

    I guess it qualifies as a weird question.

        “In fact, you’re usually hoping it’s a vagina goo shart because you can just wipe that out with toilet paper and move on with your day.”

        Oh man, this is relatable. Reading this transported me to past situations where I sat uncomfortable and anxious until I could get to a bathroom and check. Solidarity

      You can’t wear tampons very long so just a pad if it’s about that time or feels that way. Typically I know to do so when I’m turning into a honey badger emotionally.
