I looked over at fedinsfw and all I could think of was the titles’ attempts at being provocative or enticing and how it just seems really…lame? I’m ace so this whole subset of the site really does nothing for me.
My shower thought is just about responding to the titles neutrally.
For examples:
“Just stretching, don’t mind me”;
“oh, sorry; as you were, then. Sorry to interrupt.”
“If I sent you this by accident, what would you reply?”
“Hey I don’t think I’m the one you meant to send this to”
Asian girl waiting for your orders…
“Can I get two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip…”
Do people really get turned on by such things, or is it more that the people posting them just have to put something in the title?
I feel bad like I should just respond in a supportive manner, because these people are putting their asses out on the line, literally.
And it’s a brave thing to do. To out yourself out there like that. But also if they just wanted to hang out, that’s fine too.
Same, I always try to at least upvote when I come across (heh) a thread. I know it can be scary putting yourself out there, and I always appreciate when other folks are willing to put in the effort.
