Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Too bad it doesn't work to stop my partner from snoring
I find that, if I just get up and jerk off in the basement, I can't hear it for a while.
There's this old Finnish saying: "Nuha lähtee nussimalla" which translates roughly to "Fucking gets rid of flu". Guess there's some truth to that, then.
Is that to be understood verbatim, or is it a euphemism for something?
It's to be understood verbatim AFAIK :D
Why not write orgasm relieves sinus congestion? Do we need to codify how orgasm arrives? What about a stampede of angry zebras? That usually does the trick for me
Because it doesn't work on Furries.
If a stampede of zebra's gets you off more power to you.
Gives a whole new meaning to "unclogging those pipes"
Hell really makes you see porno a different way when the "handyman" come a knockin.
Oh yeah!
Before I had septum surgery and I'd get constant congestion I thought that jerking off actually helped me to breath better. Honestly I actually thought it was placebo, nut apparently not!
Single best typo ever
lmao I won't edit it
Hey! I remember you from a former life on reddit or lemmy or stackoverflow or something, and always thought of you as a decent person. Good to see you on lemmy.
Either Lemmy or reddit. I think we've talked here a few times. How've you been?
All good, new job, nice colleagues, supportive boss, fun car. You?
That's awesome! I'm glad you're doing well! 😊
Shit, this can be my solution to my long term cat allergy, but i gonna collect more data on that.
Hope relief cums quickly
Ask for the cat's consent fist
My thing is they say good sex can clear up allergies but what about bad sex?

"Hey, babe. You ready for a good time?"
"Oh. God. Honey...please, not now, I have a splitting headache. I've had this stuffed up nose and it feels like I haven't been getting enough air all day."
"I have good news for you, and great news for me."
I can get rid of it in 30 seconds ;)
My gosh. Imagine how fucking congested I would be.
It's amazing how well your body can turn off pains and symptoms just because "might be mating!"
Have to look presentable! Be on top form!
Or bottom, we don't judge here. Y'all do you
i can get my vibrator covered by insurance to cure migraines.
I tried to get insurance to cover my Chuck’s Suck ‘n Fuck 9000 but they blocked my number.

Oh hello Mr Police Officer, I know this is a bus but I was really congested.
You should find a place where nobody can see you first, though. Don't ask me how I know
So other forms of orgasm offer no such relief?
Wet dreams? Though when I'm sick, congestion seems to disappear when I sleep (only to return after I wake up.) So if that's normal and if wet dreams have some kind of decongestant property, we may never know.
Are there other forms of orgasm? Apart from spontaneous orgasms
