Is now a good time to mention that I have an untruncated penis myself? Though I’d’ve lost those toothpicks even if I hadn’t. It would be very difficult to spend 26 years in a non-circumcising culture and not see one, even if female and celibate.
Regarding the question I was supposed to shed light on, I doubt most have developed an opinion on them. But I’m pretty sure most Swedish women would be polite enough to not scream in horror if they were to unexpectedly encounter one in an amorous situation :).
Regarding WhyNot’s likelyhood of screaming in horror in the reverse situation, I’m pretty sure the wrinkliness of that guy’s penis and scrotum is indicative of the wrinkliness of the rest of him; that is, he’s pretty old. I don’t think there’s anything unusual about the length of his foreskin, though.
Good question. I first started using this name sometime in 1999, so it was some time ago… I think I mainly liked the sound of it. I have since learned that “sofis” is close to the Greek word for “wisdom”, and that’s quite likely not a coincidence - I think it is likely I was inspired by words such as “philosophy” and “sophisticated” and the like.
Sorry I’ve seem to hit a snag in my internet usage. I’m back to drop a Q:
My biggest “relationship” one was older than me… but only by 3 months. So you get the toothpick.
I never did the Drugs. So Keepy keepy.
And since we’re specifying Person to person in real life.
I will keep this toothpick for now. Probably will have to give it to you in 6months, but for now I’ll keep it.
I had never said a curse word or “Cussed”* before I went to college.
Specifications:
-I never said a “bad word” aloud.
-Hell and God didn’t count (so there ya go Atheists. You’re in the clear for that). Goddamn is okay for the God, but wrong for the Damn.
-The worst I said before that was “crap” and “idiot” was considered the worst word in my household. So if the word is considered worse than “idiot” or “crap” and you said it before college (18 years old and post high school or just 18 if you didn’t do the ‘graduation’ thing and want a timeline), then fork 'em over.
(yeah, even as a Kid i didn’t know any curse words nor “accidentally” said them. Though I DID give my family the finger when i was little asking them what it meant- Thanks* Beverly Hillbillies *the movie!) Hell, I couldn’t watch the *Simpsons *until i was 14!
It was so weird going to college, and then realizing for the first time I wasn’t home anymore. And that I could say bad words! Blew my mind. And then I cussed like an F’ning sailor since then.
I grew up around my family mostly, and never really heard them curse. My mother when she gets REALLY REALLY REALLY pissed will say damn in her yellings towards us, but that’s been like 5-6 times in my LIFE I’ve heard it. My father considers idiot the bad word and doesn’t say anything worse.
So i never really heard “cursing” until i was 7 or so, and rode the school bus. And by then I pretty much had the mentality that cursing was wrong and shouldn’t be done by children. But there was this 6 year old who i’d talk to all the time, and when i was in the 3rd grade on the bus, the lil’ fucker had learned to curse and would curse ALL the time, but he’d annoy the CRAP outta me. So i never really associated the cursing as a good thing, and it was done only by adults and that lil’ fucker. So i didn’t “do” it.
I remember reading stephen King’s Cujo when I was in the 4th grade and coming across the word “cum” (as in “there’s another man’s cum all over my bed, how do you want me to fucking take it!” and i was so bewildered at the misspelling. So I did what i normally do- i NEVER asked my parents these Qs, I just went to an encyclopedia or dictionary and looked up the words). That’s pretty much why i never “accidentally” cursed, as most words I’d just look up and realize they were profane and I shouldn’t say them.
I remember being in the 8th grade and being horrified when i accidentally said the word “sucks”. It really freaked me out, that I still remember the sentence. It was that the Orcas in Command and Conquer SUCK vs. bazooka troops.
I just accidentally said they sucked and it freaked me out, but no one noticed.
Most people would curse around me and all, but i never really felt an incentive to join in, as they’d usually use the cursing to insult each other and I didn’t really like that sort of behavior. :Shrug:
So Yeah, never really cursed. And I was sheltered. Going back to my high school reunion should be interesting…
