Reading this thread, although I am kinda demirose I feel like the best reason to want a partner is to have someone do away with your "dirty" collection. Unless whoever would go through it (typically family) just happen to already know all your secret kinks and not be weirded out by them.

My parents will probably be dead by then, but I'm the oldest of a bunch of siblings. I don't keep a huge collection or anything (almost everything I've ever bought is disposable), but I always cringe every time I buy any new supplies wondering "What if I die before this is used up? What are they gonna think?".

I'm not particularly ashamed of my set of kinks, but one of them can read as questionable based on common conception, and while I assume most of them are at least a little kink aware, not one of them seems to be very freaky themselves (which, if they are, they don't let on, and I haven't figured it out (well played... 🥷)), so I worry some about what they'll think when they find it, or what the niblings would think if they ever heard about it.

But even in the worse case scenario I'll be too dead to care.

I'm laughing at the possibility that all your siblings are actually kinky as hell but each of you keeps it carefully to yourselves so you all believe you're the only one who isn't super vanilla.

i cleaned out my uncle’s apartment room because of similar thoughts. he passed from heroin. did not want grandma to see that stuff. so i cleaned it up. along with his copy of “girls who eat girls”. such an odd name for a porno.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I cannot stand the industry's tendency to call them "girls". "Women who eat women" isn't really that weird, unless you've never consumed any porn before.

unless you've never consumed

I don't think that's a problem for the women in the porn.
