I mean really, guys, do we need three threads about your penises and what others think of them? Isn’t it just enough to know that you have them and we don’t? 😉 ---

Been here since Feb and almost a thousand posts and you haven’t noticed that if one person starts a popular thread there’s always at least 2 imitators? Have a look in MPSIMS where “Ask the 50’s dad” was followed by “Ask the 50’s mom” and “Ask the 50’s anti soviet nut.” ---

Actually, two were started by one person, and the other was started because the OP felt comfortable enough to do so because of the other two, as the title implies. You sound a bit defensive about my OP, Silentgoldfish. Why?

Defensive? No. Just been around long enough to know that there’s a lot of repetition. ---

Actually, the ads always default to Hurricane Relief when it tilts the red flag at the Prudery Alert Station. Whining about boner threads… bah. Wait til there’re, like, five or six cooter threads at once… good times… ---

I’m guilty as charged of replying to _three_ boner threads. Hardly conventional behavior for a woman “of an age”, and a tad embarrassing the day after. My defense: it’s hard to leave any boner “just hanging”. ---

Lots of us live in a part of the world where a popular sitcom (forget the name) had a major character named Boner. It’s a good, solid, versatile word, and we should expect to see it often! ---
