I woke up like this

Megillah Gorilla posted:

QI once made the point that, before the trial of Oscar Wilde, it was perfectly common for men to hold hands, sit in each others' laps and tell each other how much they loved them.

After Wilde was sentenced to hard labour, lost nearly everything and died just five years later from the terrible conditions he had experienced in gaol, no one else wanted to risk having their lives destroyed and it just all stopped.

I wonder how much of today's toxic masculinity was formed in that time when men had their ability to express positive emotions and affection taken from them.


EDIT: Moby Dick was written in 1851 and Oscar Wilde's trial was in 1895 so it tracks.

Yes but Queequeg and Ishmael get married in chapter 9, and Herman Melville was probably in love with Nathaniel Hawthorne. It’s gay fellas.

The problem with all these "findings" is that scientists seem to like to take this crumb of story as evidence that this reflected all of ancient X societies culture and mindset at the time instead of it just being a fun story some writer put down about a guy who got cursed with a dick so big he couldn't gently caress no more.

After World War 3 and the resource wars devastate current modern society, alien archeologists will visit our barren world and find a furry fanfic about the joys of making GBS threads in diapers and assume that all of human society was all about wearing fursuits and making GBS threads

I think just the idea of calling a threesome a "bisexual throuple" even if it may be technically linguistically correct.

I will hazard a guess that FOX described about a group of three polyamorous bisexual people, not just three people having sex. It's probably the word they used to describe themselves, hence the quotes.

A threesome is a sexual act involving three people, a throuple is polygamous relationship of three people (where they're all involved with each other). They're two different things, though obviously the latter implies the former is happening on the reg.

If we're arguing terminology, a polygamous relationship is one where they're all married, a polyamorous relationship is one where they're dating.

throuple is a funny word to say because the "thrup" sound is uncommon in english and has a satisfying popped p sound in the middle anyway don't forget to like share and subscribe

Honestly up to about seven it works ok, but after that you might find better luck pairing/tripling off.

Or pairing with the odd man out as a "runner" - gets more lube, slaps someone's rear end, provides electrolytes, you get the idea.
