Eh, I think most people are sexual beings. Sexualizing things is a quick route to making things relateable, that being the case. Also, it's funny.

I'm glad you enjoyed the comment, however it doesn't fit super well within our ethos or what we're trying to accomplish at beehaw, hence the reply.

Ah, of course. I was simply attempting to provide an answer to the question. Apologies.

This was such a nice exchange to see on my first day on Beehaw as a Reddit refugee. I think I picked the right instance. Minor disagreements handled with kindness and empathy without anyone blowing up? Ah so refreshing what is this feeling

I never realised how guarded I was in Reddit. I'm constantly taken by surprise here

I know, right? People... respectfully disagreeing with one another? Having a... healthy and civil discourse?

Holy Moses, I almost forgot this was possible online!

I've been exposed to enough unsolicited dicks in my life, personally. Sex is natural and erections are common, but I really don't need to know about all of them. Some things are better kept private. I also don't get aroused by every little thing, so all the hard dick comments are more confusing than anything. They're not relatable to all of us.
