> [@Freddy\_the\_Pig](#): > > There’s an injection that can cause a person to have an erection? [Yes.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caverject#Sexual_dysfunction) It’s been available for a long time as a treatment for impotence. But for some reason, people decided that swallowing a little blue pill was much less traumatic than actually stabbing one of the most sensitive parts of your body with a hypodermic needle. The added bonus of Viagra and its ilk is that your erection responds to your actual state of arousal. This is in stark contrast to injectable vasodilators, which give you an involuntary raging erection, regardless of whether you’re actually aroused or not. ---

Don’t know about you guys, but even as a teenager, I wouldn’t have been able to raise the periscope in a room full of cops if Scarlett Johansen was giving me a lap dance. ---

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > Oh Jesus, calm your tits. I could get behind “don’t get your panties in a twist,” since underwear descriptors can be ambiguous. Whether or not Frank has “tits” (never mind how odd it seems that someone would use “calm your tits” as a putdown), I’m unclear why all derogs must involve something to do with females. Ever pondered why it is that virtually all derogs/nasty descriptors used toward men involve a woman or her anatomy somehow? But for “prick”, there are few. Instead, it’s “son of a bitch”, “motherfucker”, “pussy”, “count” absent the “o” and so on (and on). Can we – rather the men – not be more creative? By the way, my panties aren’t in a twist (typically, I don’t wear any). Just asking. ---

By the way, my panties aren’t in a twist (typically, I don’t wear any). Just asking. A gender-neutral equivalent to “calm your tits” is “calm your taint.” It has fairly common usage at least in my crowd. Even if the recipient hasn’t heard it before, they understand the meaning immediately. For example: I see your taint is swollen with rage. Do you need some soothing balm to calm your taint? Why so taintmad?
