Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.

I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.

One that used to really grind my gears was "oh, you're babysitting today?"

No, they're my kids. I'm their father.

"No, I mean, you're giving Mom a break?"

FFS.

They have no fucking clue what they’re saying either

Honestly with how oblivious most men are to the amount of work the average mother does, this is not a weird or stupid question. Insensitive, sure. Traditional gender roles still spill over into conversation, especially with older folks. The absolute least a father can do is aim to carry an equal share of the load of having children. The bitter reality is that this does not happen nearly as much as it should, hence comments like these.

Moms are underrated as fuck.

Tell the ladies that you have to pee before riding a bike so your balls are empty.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I always inform any ladies present when I need to urinate

how we ride bikes without smashing our balls

I'm a man and I... I don't know...

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For the benefits of the lurkers - this one comes up quite a bit - balls sit way higher / further forward than you think they do. All our stuff pretty much hangs off the pubic bone, and dangles down from there. We have to lean way forward to actually squish anything from underneath.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joke's on you, my old man sack sags so much, when I sit down I squish them every time.

This question actually came from another dude, but similar energy: I have a deep voice, so they asked, if it's relaxing to feel those bass vibrations in my body whenever I talk.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This one is amazing. One of those ones that goes so far past dumb it becomes funny.

It for sure is. Like a goddamn built-in subwoofer.

I just had never thought about it before the guy asked, because obviously, I kind of grew up with that voice.

Oh yay, this has finally become askreddit...

"Lemmings, what is the sexiest sex you have ever sexed?"

Lemmy is still overwhelmingly white, male, young, and nerdy. Until it gets a more diverse userbase, it won't be askreddit.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I don't know where you're getting your info, but Lemmy trends older, around 30 to middle aged and up. And there a lot of women here as well.

Questions asking "hey gender, what does X something gender?" is so stereotypical askreddit it's eye rolling.

In high school a female classmate asked me: "Do you masturbate?", and I answered "I don't need to answer you that." Well, I was actually uncomfortable by the fact that most people my age likely did, but I actually did not because I found masturbating disgusting. I thought they would think I was too odd for not masturbating lol

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in 6th grade we'd go around asking the girls "do you masticate?". most would answer indignantly "no, that's disgusting!". then we'd ask them why they swallow ther food whole, like a snake.

ok, we were assholes

I found it super uncomfortable to answer that in high school.

Then in my 20s, I'd go, "Yeah haha I guess I do."

And now my 30s, "I jag off twice a day. Three times on a good day!"

And every time, id get the same kinda approved nod.

Either masturbation has become normalized or I just give jerk off vibes.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are people still asking you whether you masturbate in your 30s??

You haven't been through border security?

Years ago there was a profile on PoF that would hit me up every couple of months asking if they could castrate me. (I'm a trans woman)

It was weird, they weren't pushy or aggressive, more just, "Hey, you don't want them, right? Seems like a win win." Sometimes I'd play along and ask questions and stuff, but they wouldn't say much, and never actually made any effort to meet up.

I haven't thought about them in years, hahaha, but seeing your question brought it all back.

As a cis dude who's asexual, I've gotten weird questions from straight dude bros... one asked me if I "had to be super careful" to not get myself pregnant. Honest question coming from a person our country's education system has failed.

You gotta glue your balls to your butthole, obviously.

I've had people wonder ask how I cross my legs (not foot-on-knee but actually crossed over) without my balls getting in the way or damaged
