Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.
I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.
One that used to really grind my gears was “oh, you’re babysitting today?”
No, they’re my kids. I’m their father.
“No, I mean, you’re giving Mom a break?”
FFS.
They have no fucking clue what they’re saying either
Depends on the situation. I’m working and my wife is currently a SAHM because the little one is quite tiny indeed. When I get home after work I take the baby off her hands for a while because I KNOW my wife had a more exhausting day than I did because of the little
demonsangels. And anything the 3yo needs, I’ll be there for her so she doesn’t bother mom with everything.Sometimes it does feel like I’m babysitting or giving her a break, because she for sure spends way more time and energy on them throughout the day.
Honestly with how oblivious most men are to the amount of work the average mother does, this is not a weird or stupid question. Insensitive, sure. Traditional gender roles still spill over into conversation, especially with older folks. The absolute least a father can do is aim to carry an equal share of the load of having children. The bitter reality is that this does not happen nearly as much as it should, hence comments like these.
Moms are underrated as fuck.
The absolute least a father can do
I find that these “bare minimum” assertions often crumble upon contact with any real-life scenario
Piss off
Ta yeule.
Quite a few.
-
“How do you sleep on your stomach with your breasts?”
-
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
-
“Do the size of your breasts alter what size clothes you buy?”
-
“How can you not swim? Don’t breasts float like basketballs?”
-
“Does having breasts ever make you feel you’re wearing your weakness?”
-
“How do you clean so much hair while taking a shower?”
-
“Do things ever fly up your skirt, and what do you do?”
-
“How do lesbians have physical fun time?”
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
Do you just have enormous jugs or have you known a lot of particularly dumb men?
“Does having breasts ever make you feel you’re wearing your weakness?”
Ah ok so the second one
I’d say a lot of dumb men. Mine aren’t even that big, probably average by the best judgment.
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
You use mirrors, right?
“How do lesbians have physical fun time?”
Probably playing Wii U, like everyone else.
Most of us don’t need mirrors though, we simply look down. And there are many forms of lesbian bedroom activity, the most common being using fingers in lieu of the sixth limb men have.
Wait, what’s the fifth
The head.
Joke on you, empty things don’t count!
You use mirrors, right?
I think they meant that as a joke. Obviously, even if someone had extraordinarily large breasts, they could just peek over them or move them to side.
- “How do lesbians have physical fun time?”
Ok, that one I don’t understand.
It takes line 10s of adult research to find a whole range of possibilities.
Bro’s tacitly admitted he’s mediocre at best in bed
For real, does the entirety of a sexual encounter consist of penis-in-vagina for him? I prefer there to be like an hour of foreplay and I’m a dude. I mean I could go right away too, but the feeling is very, very different for myself too, not just my partner.
It takes line 10s of adult research to find a whole range of possibilities.
Plus it’s a fairly commonly researched topic amongst male teenagers… or so I’ve heard.
It’s different per lesbian, but finger play is the most commonly done.
Welp, I guess that solved the “breasts or ass” question for this guy.
“How do you sleep on your stomach with your breasts?”
Natural breast tissue moves to the side so it’s often not an issue, however for women with larger breasts or for women with dense breast tissue, it can still be painful or uncomfortable.
For women with breast implants over the pectoral muscle, the implants don’t slide to the side and so it would be quite uncomfortable for them to lie or sleep on their stomach.
If a BF of mine ever asks that, his bed better be a tempur pedic.
I like when girls sleep on top of me, I swear I’m not fat I’m just comfy

how we ride bikes without smashing our balls
I’m a man and I… I don’t know…
For the benefits of the lurkers - this one comes up quite a bit - balls sit way higher / further forward than you think they do. All our stuff pretty much hangs off the pubic bone, and dangles down from there. We have to lean way forward to actually squish anything from underneath.
Joke’s on you, my old man sack sags so much, when I sit down I squish them every time.
Carefully
You know how when you think about breathing, you start to “think” about breathing? How it moves in and out of the body? And then you learn all other weird things about breathing?
Do you really want to understand ball science? To understand where things move and go around and flex?
Why I’m trying to say is sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
We tuck them up.
This question actually came from another dude, but similar energy: I have a deep voice, so they asked, if it’s relaxing to feel those bass vibrations in my body whenever I talk.
This one is amazing. One of those ones that goes so far past dumb it becomes funny.
When you think about it, low humms sound soothing so… I guess he was right? I do enjoy humming to myself sometimes.
Well… Is it? :p
It for sure is. Like a goddamn built-in subwoofer.
I just had never thought about it before the guy asked, because obviously, I kind of grew up with that voice.
Dude you need to try throat singing. Kargyraa is fun.
Actually weird question that Ive been puzzling.
You know those anime girls who try to be obnoxiously cute, where they raise their voice to a high pitch? Then off screen, they’re back to their regular tone?
For people with high pitched voices… Is that a choice?
I think, it has to do chest voice vs. head voice.
Basically, when you vibrate your vocal cords, then depending on the frequency, it can either resonate with your chest cavity or with your head cavity. The chest cavity is larger, so it resonates at a deeper frequency and the resonance is louder, which is why most of us use chest voice while talking normally.
But yeah, as you go up, there’s a bit of a range where you have to put more force into making your vocal cord vibrations heard, because at those frequencies, it does not resonate well with either chest or head cavity.
And then beyond that, you get into the range where it resonates well with the head cavity, so it’s again not as taxing anymore to speak in that range (although still usually more taxing than chest voice, because it just resonates less loudly).
So, even with my deep chest choice, I do also have relatively good range into the upper registers, because well, my head cavity isn’t particularly larger than others’.
But I have heard that some people cannot tap into their head voice, not without vocal training anyways.
Sometimes I get a particular kind of headache. Listening to loud music with heavy bass can help ease the headache. Singing along to my playlist of songs I might sing at karaoke from my belly loudly also can help ease the pain a bit. So yes, I guess it can be relaxing.

Oh yay, this has finally become askreddit…
“Lemmings, what is the sexiest sex you have ever sexed?”
Lemmy is still overwhelmingly white, male, young, and nerdy. Until it gets a more diverse userbase, it won’t be askreddit.
I don’t know where you’re getting your info, but Lemmy trends older, around 30 to middle aged and up. And there a lot of women here as well.
Questions asking “hey gender, what does X something gender?” is so stereotypical askreddit it’s eye rolling.
I’d love to see the data on the “age 30 and up” because the people I interact with have the worldly knowledge and emotional maturity of a teenager far more often than not.
I suspect that data is out of date, from before the reddit exodus.
Edit: and perhaps women are keeping a low profile, but from casual observation I see more trans women than cis women on lemmy, which is insane when you think about the demographics involved.
Is the data available? I’ve never input my personal details.
I’m not sorry for pointing out your topic question is blandly stereotypical reddit drivel.
Do better.
I dunno, I figured it was a response to seeing the “do you have any questions FOR the opposite gender” thread. And it seemed an appropriate response. THAT question might be considered stereotypical Reddit drivel. This one is more interesting, simply because it’s a step removed.
K lol
Heyo, run of the mill cis girl here, middle age (that pains me to say it but it’s reality), we’re here. And I’ve honestly noticed the demographic being a lot of mid-30’s and up here. Not exclusively of course but more so than Reddit
In high school a female classmate asked me: “Do you masturbate?”, and I answered “I don’t need to answer you that.” Well, I was actually uncomfortable by the fact that most people my age likely did, but I actually did not because I found masturbating disgusting. I thought they would think I was too odd for not masturbating lol
in 6th grade we’d go around asking the girls “do you masticate?”. most would answer indignantly “no, that’s disgusting!”. then we’d ask them why they swallow ther food whole, like a snake.
ok, we were assholes
You were 6th graders.
I found it super uncomfortable to answer that in high school.
Then in my 20s, I’d go, “Yeah haha I guess I do.”
And now my 30s, “I jag off twice a day. Three times on a good day!”
And every time, id get the same kinda approved nod.
Either masturbation has become normalized or I just give jerk off vibes.
Are people still asking you whether you masturbate in your 30s??
You haven’t been through border security?
If you would have said “no” I’m sure they just wouldn’t have believed you. I was asked that question and said no because I was embarrassed. They didn’t believe me.
I got asked that by a gaggle of 18 yo boys while I was waiting on an elevator in boot camp, trying to embarrass me or something since I was quiet. I looked at them weirdly and said, “Of, course”, like they had just asked if I breathed air. The elevator opened just then and I walked in and though I didn’t get to see their faces, they didn’t get in. It’s small victories over bullies like that that made me realize bullies are weak AF.
Years ago there was a profile on PoF that would hit me up every couple of months asking if they could castrate me. (I’m a trans woman)
It was weird, they weren’t pushy or aggressive, more just, “Hey, you don’t want them, right? Seems like a win win.” Sometimes I’d play along and ask questions and stuff, but they wouldn’t say much, and never actually made any effort to meet up.
I haven’t thought about them in years, hahaha, but seeing your question brought it all back.

How DO we ride bikes without smashing our balls?
The fear of being smashed makes them retract into their safety zone
What do you mean ? Left ball on left pedal, right ball on right pedal
First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats
We do smash our balls, in fact. That’s why cyclist pants have balls protection.
I dunno about you, but my ass is on the seat, and the package generally stays above my legs relative to the seat.
Depends on the kind of seat too. If they’re thinner ones it’s harder to avoid, especially if you’re leaning forwards. It’s not hard with normal wider seats for me, the actual reason I have a seat cushion for my bike is to protect my ass when the terrain is rough.
tuck em in our waistband
Forget bikes. How do you guys use the rowing machine comfortably?
Lean back a little and keep your thighs parted.
Am I the only one that can still put the beans over the frank?
Edit: I’m 40 btw.
There’s something about that phrase…
I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.
Been married for years when my wife asked me that… “How do you sit down?”
O_o
How many times have you seen me naked now?
Many women seem to assume that penis and balls are attached actually between the legs, just like where their vaginas are. They are surprised, if they’re told, the whole assembly is actually more “at the front”.
The reverse is also true, BTW. A lot of boys struggle finding the vagina because from their perspective it’s waaay too low.
We barely understand our own bodies, it’s not surprising that we have problems with other sexes bodies.
Hahaha, my second long term girlfriend was a bit…naive… tbh… We’ve been naked many times, but when we first went to a public sauna(which is textile-free here)she asked me exactly that.
Maybe it was the sagging old man’s balls or something. But she was somewhat shocked.
As a cis dude who’s asexual, I’ve gotten weird questions from straight dude bros… one asked me if I “had to be super careful” to not get myself pregnant. Honest question coming from a person our country’s education system has failed.
Are you sure that wasn’t just an attempted joke about the phrase asexual reproduction?
Spontaneous teen mitosis is on the rise!
Wow… that’s kind of baffling.
Are you a slug?
What are they implying?
You gotta glue your balls to your butthole, obviously.
I’ve had people wonder ask how I cross my legs (not foot-on-knee but actually crossed over) without my balls getting in the way or damaged
Berries down under the top thigh, twig lying on the bottom thigh.
no opposite gender has ever asked me any weird question. I guess I am lucky :D
