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.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 6 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

With good enough head game you can rule the world.

If someone spends the time to fake an orgasm to make me feel good then they are pretty cool.

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, sounds good in the short term. Probably better in the long term to be honest and figure out something that lets everyone to have an orgasm though.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And lets people give orgasms. Someone who fakes an orgasm robs their partner of the opportunity to give orgasms.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honey if she's faking it he's not ever gonna be able to give it.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly! He needs to find himself a more compatible partner, but she’s lying and preventing him from learning this.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh, it's better to communicate with your partner and give them a chance to get you there by other means.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This assumes that the person faking it expects continued interaction and/or safety. Women often fake it with flings when they simply want things to finish and don’t want to have an awkward conversation with the person they never intend to see again. They also fake it to avoid confrontation due to perceived emasculation.

Now, if you feel safe in your non-transient relationship, this is literally the best advice in the world.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My god why would you have sex with a person you never intend on speaking to again?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Cuz sex is fun. I’m not gonna slut shame.

So they can fake an orgasm obviously.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

spoken like an incel who doesn't understand trust.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which one is the incel?

Me or the one I’m having sex with?

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Both, thrusting your pelvis towards another avatar in VR Chat doesn't count as sex!
