I don’t think we’re going to find anything here, so I’m just going to fall back on the fact that you can make any verb-noun combination sound sexual. “Those two seem close”. “Yeah, I hear they’ve been re-stringing the mandolin for a couple of months now.” ---

> [@Knorf](#): > > Side question. Is this really a thing in actual lesbian relationships, and not, for example, an invention of porn? It seems like it would be ineffective. But, what do I know? I am not a lesbian or even a woman. But in Internet-land, I have heard some lesbians dismiss it as a fake thing invented by porn directors, and others insist it’s the greatest thing ever. I suspect that it’s just a question of different people’s bodies responding to different kinds of stimulation. Some women can get off just by rubbing their junk against an object. If you have two such women, it would probably work for them. If not, it would seem like a big waste of time. ---

The original context was “I wonder if those two are…”. I have now decided that the official term will be “I wonder if those two are jumpstarting the Subaru”. Thank you all for your kind attention. ---

Some women can get off just by rubbing their junk against an object. If you have two such women, it would probably work for them. If not, it would seem like a big waste of time. I have only seen it in porn. It’s only a waste of time if it’s not something that turns both people on. I’m not a lesbian, and have never done it. I knew nothing about it when I was experimenting and doing a little exploring with a girlfriend in my teen years. I am guessing that if done with the right movement it could be satisfying. ---

“Nun-sex” I just had that thought last night. Then an old memory came back to me, involving three lesbian singers, two of whom I knew personally: (Cue music) * * * Gomorrahmee… Wouldja’ like to see some more of me?\*\*\* 🆒 ---

> [@Knorf](#): > > Side question. Is this really a thing in actual lesbian relationships, and not, for example, an invention of porn? It seems like it would be ineffective. But, what do I know? I briefly knew a girl who had a pretty full-on lesbian relationship for a while and she told me (in passing) that it was her favorite thing to do. I didn’t ask for details at the time (shush, I was genuinely curious) because we were going to our respective apartments for the night, and we stopped being friends shortly thereafter so I was never able to follow up. I always wish I did though because I also always heard that it’s a made up for porn thing and wanted to know more ---

That may be in interesting poll around here (heh-heh - “pole”). I heard it referred-to as “rug-munching”, or the practitioner as a “rug-muncher”, so there’s that. ---
