I'm not sure if the details around it. Not my cup o tea
Pretty niche topic
Meh, as kinks go thats pretty common
Yeah, but I don't know if the interest is then as common to be interested in it's history to such an extend that you know stuff like that.
Sorry I'm not understanding what you mean... (I'm pretty sick right now so it could just be me being dumb)
Yeah, it's been going around here as well.
I meant that while I'm sure a lot of people have the kink, not many may be interested in it's history, such that they are capable of talking about the reasons why it is not called rapeplay anymore.
I can see how that might be the case. Thanks for helping me out
Crazy you feel obliged to say thank you for such a small act. Makes me think about our anonymous individual-based society.
...I didn't feel obligated.
I felt thankful and thought it would be nice to let you know that.
Edit: also you seemed to show some empathy and took the time to comment that illness is also plaguing your area, so it seemed like you were an emphatic person to some degree. Thought you might be receptive and appreciate knowing.
Was a little thing, just a few words, and ,selfishly, if a few words hello you have a better day, even for just a literal moment, that makes me feel good so it really isn't a bother to state my honest feelings.
Not a big deal but im happy to have an honest interaction even if it is to someone I'll likely never see or come across again.
Cheers
Hey man, no hard feelings to you. It was a nice gesture. Though I did indeed not think about the illness part. Much love sent your way. I see nothing you did wrong in particular.
