Well, a motorcycle sounds more plausible to me, though I’ve ridden one a few times and I didn’t exactly feel that way. Horseback maybe, though it’s not my experience. ---

Fear would make me not sexy sexy at all. Teen boys are not big on safely riding motorcycles. ---

Yeah the few times I’ve been on one I really couldn’t get past “if we crash I’m going to die." But there are certainly women who get a thrill from danger, who knows, maybe for some it’s _really_ thrilling. ---

And I’ve never gotten off on a bicycle or a horse, despite racking up a fair number of hours on each. But I’ve heard credible stories of other women doing so.

I heard lots of things. Don’t make it true. If ya’ll wanna carry on believing this garbage, go ahead. Those two babes that moved in across the street are _really_ Playboy bunnies on hiatus. Wave as you put the trash out. I am sure tomorrow they will sunbathe in the nude. Only visible from your window. Oh, and I have a bridge I wanna sell you…now. ---

Yeah and what gets a woman off varies dramatically from woman to woman. Some need penetration and some need literally nothing but their own minds. Unfortunately all we have here are anecdotes. The thing with the washing machine is less “Could it theoretically get you off?” and more “Would a significant portion of women look at a washing machine and think, “I’ve just got to try this!“” It would have to be more _intentional_ than if a woman ended up turned on by riding a horse or motorcycle. That’s a situation where you do it for other reasons and then you’re doing it for a while so you may as well enjoy it. But nobody climbs on top of a washing machine by happenstance and then starts thinking, "Oh. Hey. This feels nice.” I’m sure _someone_ has tried it. But I’m confident saying this is not a common thing, no. ---

I am pretty much asexual so this has never occurred to me. Not even in my wild promiscuous days did I entertain such an activity. But how in the heck do people get on top of a washing machine without injuring themselves? ---

It’s unbalanced. The machine. So it rattles around alot. I guess. You know, fantasy is fun. You’re ok if you want to fantasize about things like this. But don’t say it’s the truth. Unless you know for sure, by experience. ---

The few times I rode a horse, it was not sexy at all, it’s more like getting beaten up! But I guess some women are into that, too. (How is this for guys? I imagine a lot of ball smacking…) I’m also afraid of horses. > [@Ellecram](#): > > But how in the heck do people get on top of a washing machine without injuring themselves?

I’d have to get high. My washing machine sits on a pedestal. I just treat him like that, in _oh_ so many ways!😊 ---

And that’s how the saddle horn gets ‘em. Now you know why a cowboys Wrangler jeans look like they’re up the guys butt and tight. They walking bow legged for a couple of reasons. ---

I’m old enough that I’d want a step stool to get on top of the washing machine. But doing that would be easy for me. I might even have stood atop the washer when we replaced the light fixture in that room. ---
