Yeah, the whole thing never really happened. Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, I’m checking out [gorillamask.net](http://gorillamask.net) … yep, there’s a guy caught by his roommate jerking off. Hey, pizzabrat, do you won a Dell laptop with a keyboard splashguard? ---

[QUOTE=Bear\_Nenno] How on Earth do you keep everything contained with little pieces of Kleenex?? [/QUOTE] Well, you just hold those little pieces of kleenex so it’s a short-range shot so to speak. The different texture is rather pleasant too. (I usually double or triple up on the kleenex, myself) Forget you read this. ---

Well at least the OP didn’t pass out on the couch with pecker in hand and the video still playing on the tube just before 10 or so people suddenly show up for an after bar party. We still call that “The Gary Incident”. And no, my real name is not Gary. ---

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen reference to a specific towel used for catching one’s goo. There’s really nothing wrong with that at all, assuming it is washed in between uses. I don’t know why people are getting grossed out by it. Maybe they just don’t know how male anatomy works. I just find it fascinating that so many people actually have a special towel designated for that job only. I usually just grab the closest towel/non-stainable clothing item or whatever’s handy. In my mind I see a special towel with tassels, embroidered with the words “OFFICIAL CUM TOWEL” and hung on a gold-plated mini-towel rack right next to the bed. Bahahaha. ---

The purpose of the “cum towel” (or shirt, or sock, etc.) used multiple times for said purpose, is that you never have to worry about mistakenly using that towel on your face, or putting on that shirt, after forgetting to wash it. There is nothing worse than realizing the shirt you have on has remanants from the night before on it. You can keep it in a special hiding place, like behind the hamper. After a while it gets “full” for lack of a better word, and fragrant, at which point you throw it out, and find a suitable replacement. Kleenex are expensive, especially if you are a frequent user, and tear easy. Or so I’m told 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-i-black-out-at-my-pc-with-my-pants-down/369566.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-i-black-out-at-my-pc-with-my-pants-down/369566.md?page=3)
