Are you offended/creeped out when people get turned on?

Probably should have taken everyone’s sliders out of the bag first.

It’s early yet, but I confidently award this “Post of the Day”. Congratulations!

The intercourse was so aggressive that her grapefruit-sized breasts shook violently like Japanese paper lanterns in a springtime storm.

I get creeped out when people say things like this.

@Richard_North

There was a scene where this couple was having rough sex. The woman was on top. The intercourse was so aggressive that her grapefruit-sized breasts shook violently like Japanese paper lanterns in a springtime storm.

Give me the name of that movie!

You actually started breathing hard? To the point where people in the room noticed you were sexually aroused? You must’ve been a little beyond “popped a boner” stage.

Yeah, I don’t get it. Did he get the vapors? Maybe the dude was playing pocket pool.

@AHunter3

I’ve never understood it unless it was accompanied by creepy behavior of the “I’m aroused and therefore entitled to start doing things” variety.

This. You can point that thing up, but not at me.

Awkward boners happen.

[OneCentStamp]

Well, this thread is just as awkward as an Eighth Grade Sweatpants Erection[sup]TM[/sup], isn’t it?

Give me the name of that movie!

Also the location of the White Castle, so I can avoid the likelihood of running into people that use White Castle bags as boner disguises.

@QuickSilver

My opinion is that impulse control is an issue for you.

Not really. I was going to post something extremely pornographic in response to Shakes, but I decided against it.

@Shakes

Aren’t you leaving out the part where you hit the guy over the head with a Corona bottle for putting his hand on your leg? And then after that, the women folk got so turned on by your alpha hard on they practically begged you to take them to the back seat of your car while your dog stood guard?

Come on RN, you’re leaving out the best parts.

Why do I have to be “on” all the time? Why can’t I just be a normal person who likes to do normal people things sometimes?

By the way, me and that woman messed around in the front and middle seats of my Lexus SUV, the dogs sat in the very back.

You must really think we’re stupid here, Dicky.

No really. I take the most exciting parts of my life and post them on the internets. But for the most part, I’m a guy who likes to chill and lift weights, coach children’s football, ride my bike, and bake snickerdoodles.

I hope you at least kept the White Castle bag for protection.

[Siam_Sam]

It’s a common-enough phenomenon. Many’s the time I’ve walked into a bar over here and the bargirls all get super aroused. Or so they assure me.

First of all, thanks for that laugh. It was hilarious.

Second, it generally doesn’t bother me if people get aroused, if something arousing is going on - if it’s the appropriate response. But the throwing a bag at your crotch, yes I would have laughed at that because it is a kind of over the top reaction.

One week we deviated from anime and watched a racy movie. At the beginning, I did not know it was going to be racy. No one told me. There was a scene where this couple was having rough sex. The woman was on top. The intercourse was so aggressive that her grapefruit-sized breasts shook violently like Japanese paper lanterns in a springtime storm. I was not prepared for that. Suddenly Lil Richie turned into Big Rick. I quickly grabbed the White Castle bag sitting next to me, and threw it over my lap. My body tensed and I started breathing hard.

My buddy next to me put his hand on my knee and said “settle down” with a smile. But two girls in the room acted really offended and grossed out. I was sooooooo embarrassed!!!

This is such a bizarre story that I’m having trouble even picturing it in my head. It’s like reading the script to The Room without having seen the movie. If you added a fecal reference, it could pass for one of the dramatic works of Cho Seung-Hui

:dubious:

It was the closest thing near me. A laptop would’ve been the most suitable, but I would have to get up, walk over a few couch spaces to pick it up, and then go and sit back down.

Dude, you sound cool as fuck. Can we hang out? I’m not gonna suck you off or anything, but maybe we can get hammered on Natty Light and find some fat chicks.

Do I sound that much like a douchebag?

[fluiddruid]

@dracoi

OP, don’t you realize that the only reason anyone noticed you is that you picked up a giant white bag and held it over your lap? And tensing up and breathing hard just from watching something? That just doesn’t fit with any experience I’ve ever had without some physical stimulation involved.

The reactions of the people around you seem to me less “Ew, he’s turned on” and more “Ew, he felt like he had to advertise it.” In that respect, I’d probably be in the same camp.

I’ve got to agree here. I’ve been around plenty of platonic male friends watching “racy” materials, up to and including hardcore porn, and nobody was gasping for breath or desperately covering themselves with fast-food bags. If they got hard, I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t looking closely enough at their crotch to notice. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had, I guess. I’m a lady so I don’t have to worry about it myself, but it seems a natural reaction in that situation.

If, on the other hand, they had responded the way you did, I would have made a face, not for the arousal but the theatrics about it.

[StayseaDee]

I don’t find arousal to be gross, even when it’s by someone I don’t want to be with. It’s natural. Especially if it’s slightly pornographic. I would have tried to laugh it off with you and make jokes about taking a cold shower when the movie was over. It’s no big deal, IMO, but then again…I don’t have a visible reminder when I get excited.
