Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Y'all ever notice how much male sexuality is performative for the benefit of other men? I'm not saying that they're gay, they just seem more motivated by peer approval and status than touching a girl.

I recently saw an interview with a stripper who said that the dudes who wanted attention from the girls used $100 bills and were discrete, while the dudes who tossed 100 $1 bills were more interested in the attention of their buddies.

Another interesting thing, in that same vein, is asexual or lesbian women that just go along with being in heterosexual relationships with men because it's 'normal' or convenient.

Extrapolating this incident to male sexuality at large is idiotic.

The guy is right though. Testosterone peaks as a result of social circumstances.

Nothing about testosterone makes you sadistically drug and sexually exploit your wife for decades.

There's a weird thing with "conquest", pulling the ladies, and being somewhat deviant that's tied to manliness and straightness for some reason.
