A positive development here in Honolulu when two lifelong friends in their 70s learned they were actually blood brothers. Or at least half brothers. Same mother. There’s a chance they had the same father too, and I hear they’re looking into that.
It is not fair to say that NPE is the PC term for cockhold and doing so furthers a negative stigma. That is the reason that some people are NPEs but not most. Some are the result of assault, donor-conception, adoption, switched-at-birth events, abandonment, etc. I know because I am an NPE who runs an NPE support group with several thousand members.

We joke about it, but it is a family tradition.
My son will get a fake fake fake signet ring on his eighteenth birthday.
what, you mean the people so vehemently against race-mixing actually indulged in it themselves? I’m shocked! (not)
