A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

look you guys gotta understand that women's orgasm is a bit different. We can have amazing sex and not orgasm and it's ok. A woman can orgasm without even touching herself, that's how "in the head" we are. Its good either way. If you really want to make her cum try oral.

I've had a penis since birth and I can still have amazing sex without orgasming. For me it's more a matter of habit. When I started having sex, I wanted to orgasm every time. As I got more experienced, I started enjoying all the other stuff in sex more, and I regularly have sex with my partner without orgasming - most of my orgasms now come from masturbation.

Then why fake it?!?!? Just tell him you're done.

Because men sometimes take it personally when they "can't make you cum." Occasionally they get mad and blame you. It's safer to just hide it and figure it out later if necessary.

That sounds like both people are wrong. If one person defaults to anger and the other defaults to lying that sounds like a really unhealthy relationship.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong, but actual relationship dynamics aren't always so clear cut. I was merely commenting as to why and unwilling to make a judgement about the situation. You don't always know what someone else is going through.

I tried faking an orgasm once. It didn't work. I'm a guy, and she instantly called my bluff.

You forgot to flex your kegals. Then claim dehydration.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Actually I think it was the poor acting, and the fact that I still had an erection.

Oh, he's not sneezing in that picture

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Something's sneezing. 😉

Pro tip for guys (by a guy): Always make sure she has at least one orgasm before you blow your load. Commit to oral and you’ll go a long way.

With good enough head game you can rule the world.
