A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Self-satisfaction?

Heterosexuality and homosexuality are subsets of allosexuality (sexual attraction and behavior towards others). Autosexual acts such as masturbation are not allosexual and so do not contribute to heterosexual or homosexual identity.

Example: A lesbian trans woman might masturbate using her penis, even though she has no attraction to penis-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

Example: A heterosexual cis woman might masturbate using her vulva, even though she has no attraction to vulva-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

Masturbation

Yeah and a majority of hands you shake have touched a dick.

I think there are too many women who never do that to speak of 'almost every heterosexual'.

They just aren't telling you about it.

I'm talking about the various studies on the subject. Those might have similar issues of some women being unwilling to tell anyone about it, but AFAIK the experiences of (regular/sex/couple) therapists doesn't really contradict the studies.
