This kind of thing is happening here, despite western society prioritising macho-ness more. Feminism is making most men give up on relationships, I mean seriously, what can a woman offer me except kids, which I can adopt? They are just money sinks, one of the reasons I far prefer male company. The only bad thing is women protest sex simulators like Rapelay saying it's demeaning to women; the truth being that it's actually just standing in the way of their desire to control all men. I think we may be going into a dark age of society, when Islam and Fundies have loads of kids while more 'progressive' areas are full of men either single and dying alone or pussywhipped men working themselves to death for a self entitled wife. I come from one of these families, my mum worked a part time job, but complained about it non stop, while my dad worked 9-5 and cooked and cleaned the house too. He couldn't leave her either due to divorce laws in my country pretty much giving her the right to everything.

I hate rape, but love mind break. It's a fine line for me, it's not really about the rape to me, it's about the pleasure being so great that she becomes addicted to sex.

Ah, I can understand the addicted to pleasure fetish. Now that I think of it, there have been a few like that that weren't rape to begin with.

Though, I never understood the penis garments thing. They always looked so silly.

Some of my favourite clothing are all frilly and ruffled. No real idea why, maybe it's symbolic of pure femininity, but frilly clothing is the best.
And I'm so picky, for some reason, that it has to be the right amount of frills. You know the dress in the CCS opening? Too much. A boy wearing that would just look weird.

Same here.
The main reason for this, however, is that the TV is located in the shared kitchen, so people drop in randomly to prepare food, eat, and such.

I actually also just sit around and talk to people out there for no apparent reason, so you can say that it's making me more of a "real person" in a way.

People in the shared kitchen would probably agree that I'm less of a shut-in than what I used to be.
I guess it's just a matter of effort from my own side, as well as the people who have been living here for the past 6 months compared to when I moved in 2½ years ago.
