Holy cow! I know that this is not something I should laugh at but I can’t help it. I would like to know the ages of the people involved but I don’t think it would make that much of a difference. Poor guy has to get a summer job to pay for a shrink now.

Unquestionably.

“my friend called me up, talking about how cool vaginas are”.

“I just love the smell of vagina and she has one”

“I’m afraid to ask my friends about it. Is this normal?”

As if.

I knew I missed out on something growing up without sisters!  
Damn.

Maybe we need to follow the example of [the Japanese.](http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/panties.htm)

John Valby, aka Dr. Dirty, sings in his song, ‘Bathroom’ to the tune of ‘Downtown’:You can let the water run so Mom can’t hear you whackin’  
get your sister’s underwear and hold the sweaty crack in front of your face  
the odor’s much stronger there, and if you get lucky you might find a hair,  
in the bathroom, your hand is waiting for you…

You mean those souls not quite tender enough to avoid clicking on the thread about sniffing your sister’s panties, but too tender to read “sweaty crack”?

Regardles, :smack: on the coding.

I once knew a boy, that one day, mom discovered some of his jerk off materials. Included were panties from every woman in the household. 3 Sisters and MOTHER’S! The ladies of the house assumed that it was for the ‘silky texture’ involved. The fact that all four of them were really quite attractive was lost to them.

No. I thought he was being sincere.

Nor did I. :smack: indeed. The song, however, is quite funny if you’re a fan of Valby or similar art.

I’ll move this to our forum for really strange . . . stuff.

Moved from IMHO to MPSIMS.

I really doubt this is true.

If it is, though, while not “normal” or acceptable by any stretch, the guy who called his parents stepped over the line. What the OP was doing was disgusting, but somehow I don’t think the the dime-dropper had noble intentions.

Of course the dime-dropper didn’t have noble intentions. They were SA forum goons. The broken-hedded internet kiddies who delight in causing trouble and misery for as many people as they can. If you post that sort of stuff on the SA forums it’s not a question of if someone finds out who/where you are and dobs you in, it’s a question of “How many goons will do it within the first 24 hours?”.

Yeah, the way the story is worded makes it sound fake to me. Thank goodness.  
I doubt that if a real teen boy was doing this he would be so forthcoming about it on a board like that, since anyone who knows anything about it knows it is full of smart alecks. He’s make up some story about a “friend” doing it or something.

I’ll make no claim to this being true or false. Doesn’t matter to me any way.

Horny adolescents with little chance of release will do strange things. People, especially adolescents and young adults, don’t always realize just how unprivate an internet message board can be - even worse if you post things like your MySpace homepage or chat handles (not saying the boy in question did these things - just a general statement). Doesn’t take too much to be an internet sleuth, but it is easier to keep one’s anonimity if one doesn’t say anything. Worst thing the alleged outer could do would be to brag about it.

**If** this story is true, sniffer has issues, but only minor ones. Best thing would be for him to get some of the real deal. Outer is an asshole who should sit on a long, barbed pointy stick and spin. His/her issues are much, much greater than sniffers.
