Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.
I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.
how we ride bikes without smashing our balls
I’m a man and I… I don’t know…
For the benefits of the lurkers - this one comes up quite a bit - balls sit way higher / further forward than you think they do. All our stuff pretty much hangs off the pubic bone, and dangles down from there. We have to lean way forward to actually squish anything from underneath.
Joke’s on you, my old man sack sags so much, when I sit down I squish them every time.
That hurt reading it
You get the same question if you slackline. It’s like…my balls aren’t there dude…
Carefully
We tuck them up.
But not up in. Just up.
You know how when you think about breathing, you start to “think” about breathing? How it moves in and out of the body? And then you learn all other weird things about breathing?
Do you really want to understand ball science? To understand where things move and go around and flex?
Why I’m trying to say is sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
Quite a memory from the childhood.
We were competing at who could smash into the wall with their bike at the highest speed. You know, just smashing into it with the front wheel, coming to a sudden stop.
Ouch.Kids are stupid xD. My bike memory like that is our parents for one of those BMX bikes from a garage sale. The ones with the bars coming out the wheels for tricks.
My sister, brother, and I decided those were for carrying additional people, so obviously having one driving, one standing in the rear, and one standing on the front would be fun. But in our infinite wisdom we decided going down the concrete driveway was a bad idea, so we decided to go down the dirt hill (which had a steeper incline).
We had one tame wipeout and decided to go for round two. This time we made it to the bottom of the hill (where the trees and branches/debris are) and wiped out. It wasn’t pretty lol. No hospital but a few road rashes (or the dirt equivalent) and other various cuts and bruises led to us going inside to our mom for intervention.
She was not happy. The next day, the bike was gone.
Quite a few.
-
“How do you sleep on your stomach with your breasts?”
-
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
-
“Do the size of your breasts alter what size clothes you buy?”
-
“How can you not swim? Don’t breasts float like basketballs?”
-
“Does having breasts ever make you feel you’re wearing your weakness?”
-
“How do you clean so much hair while taking a shower?”
-
“Do things ever fly up your skirt, and what do you do?”
-
“How do lesbians have physical fun time?”
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
Do you just have enormous jugs or have you known a lot of particularly dumb men?
“Does having breasts ever make you feel you’re wearing your weakness?”
Ah ok so the second one
I’d say a lot of dumb men. Mine aren’t even that big, probably average by the best judgment.
“How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”
You use mirrors, right?
“How do lesbians have physical fun time?”
Probably playing Wii U, like everyone else.
Most of us don’t need mirrors though, we simply look down. And there are many forms of lesbian bedroom activity, the most common being using fingers in lieu of the sixth limb men have.
Wait, what’s the fifth
The head.
Joke on you, empty things don’t count!
You use mirrors, right?
I think they meant that as a joke. Obviously, even if someone had extraordinarily large breasts, they could just peek over them or move them to side.
Welp, I guess that solved the “breasts or ass” question for this guy.
- “How can you not swim? Don’t breasts float like basketballs?”
Lol, this idiot. If breasts made people float on water. We would’ve used artificial wearable breasts to float instead of tubes!? Such stupidity!
And I may have passed another class probably.
“How do you sleep on your stomach with your breasts?”
Natural breast tissue moves to the side so it’s often not an issue, however for women with larger breasts or for women with dense breast tissue, it can still be painful or uncomfortable.
For women with breast implants over the pectoral muscle, the implants don’t slide to the side and so it would be quite uncomfortable for them to lie or sleep on their stomach.
If a BF of mine ever asks that, his bed better be a tempur pedic.
I like when girls sleep on top of me, I swear I’m not fat I’m just comfy

This question actually came from another dude, but similar energy: I have a deep voice, so they asked, if it’s relaxing to feel those bass vibrations in my body whenever I talk.
This one is amazing. One of those ones that goes so far past dumb it becomes funny.
When you think about it, low humms sound soothing so… I guess he was right? I do enjoy humming to myself sometimes.
Well… Is it? :p
It for sure is. Like a goddamn built-in subwoofer.
I just had never thought about it before the guy asked, because obviously, I kind of grew up with that voice.
I know it’s not technically what you said, but I did envision a baby with a Michael Clarke Duncan voice, and I found it pretty funny!
My mum does like to tell the story that when I was in like first or second grade, she attended some stage show that we were doing. And when I said something on stage, another mum whispered to her “Wow! What a deep voice that boy has!”.
I do also remember not actually having that big of a voice change during puberty, so yeah, that is perhaps closer to the truth than one might expect. 🙃
Dude you need to try throat singing. Kargyraa is fun.
Actually weird question that Ive been puzzling.
You know those anime girls who try to be obnoxiously cute, where they raise their voice to a high pitch? Then off screen, they’re back to their regular tone?
For people with high pitched voices… Is that a choice?
I think, it has to do chest voice vs. head voice.
Basically, when you vibrate your vocal cords, then depending on the frequency, it can either resonate with your chest cavity or with your head cavity. The chest cavity is larger, so it resonates at a deeper frequency and the resonance is louder, which is why most of us use chest voice while talking normally.
But yeah, as you go up, there’s a bit of a range where you have to put more force into making your vocal cord vibrations heard, because at those frequencies, it does not resonate well with either chest or head cavity.
And then beyond that, you get into the range where it resonates well with the head cavity, so it’s again not as taxing anymore to speak in that range (although still usually more taxing than chest voice, because it just resonates less loudly).
So, even with my deep chest choice, I do also have relatively good range into the upper registers, because well, my head cavity isn’t particularly larger than others’.
But I have heard that some people cannot tap into their head voice, not without vocal training anyways.
Sometimes I get a particular kind of headache. Listening to loud music with heavy bass can help ease the headache. Singing along to my playlist of songs I might sing at karaoke from my belly loudly also can help ease the pain a bit. So yes, I guess it can be relaxing.

In high school a female classmate asked me: “Do you masturbate?”, and I answered “I don’t need to answer you that.” Well, I was actually uncomfortable by the fact that most people my age likely did, but I actually did not because I found masturbating disgusting. I thought they would think I was too odd for not masturbating lol
in 6th grade we’d go around asking the girls “do you masticate?”. most would answer indignantly “no, that’s disgusting!”. then we’d ask them why they swallow ther food whole, like a snake.
ok, we were assholes
You were 6th graders.
I found it super uncomfortable to answer that in high school.
Then in my 20s, I’d go, “Yeah haha I guess I do.”
And now my 30s, “I jag off twice a day. Three times on a good day!”
And every time, id get the same kinda approved nod.
Either masturbation has become normalized or I just give jerk off vibes.
Are people still asking you whether you masturbate in your 30s??
You haven’t been through border security?
If you would have said “no” I’m sure they just wouldn’t have believed you. I was asked that question and said no because I was embarrassed. They didn’t believe me.
I got asked that by a gaggle of 18 yo boys while I was waiting on an elevator in boot camp, trying to embarrass me or something since I was quiet. I looked at them weirdly and said, “Of, course”, like they had just asked if I breathed air. The elevator opened just then and I walked in and though I didn’t get to see their faces, they didn’t get in. It’s small victories over bullies like that that made me realize bullies are weak AF.
Oh yay, this has finally become askreddit…
“Lemmings, what is the sexiest sex you have ever sexed?”
Lemmy is still overwhelmingly white, male, young, and nerdy. Until it gets a more diverse userbase, it won’t be askreddit.
I don’t know where you’re getting your info, but Lemmy trends older, around 30 to middle aged and up. And there a lot of women here as well.
Questions asking “hey gender, what does X something gender?” is so stereotypical askreddit it’s eye rolling.
I’d love to see the data on the “age 30 and up” because the people I interact with have the worldly knowledge and emotional maturity of a teenager far more often than not.
I suspect that data is out of date, from before the reddit exodus.
Edit: and perhaps women are keeping a low profile, but from casual observation I see more trans women than cis women on lemmy, which is insane when you think about the demographics involved.
Is the data available? I’ve never input my personal details.
Heyo, run of the mill cis girl here, middle age (that pains me to say it but it’s reality), we’re here. And I’ve honestly noticed the demographic being a lot of mid-30’s and up here. Not exclusively of course but more so than Reddit
I’m not sorry for pointing out your topic question is blandly stereotypical reddit drivel.
Do better.
I dunno, I figured it was a response to seeing the “do you have any questions FOR the opposite gender” thread. And it seemed an appropriate response. THAT question might be considered stereotypical Reddit drivel. This one is more interesting, simply because it’s a step removed.
K lol
I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.
Been married for years when my wife asked me that… “How do you sit down?”
O_o
How many times have you seen me naked now?
How DO we ride bikes without smashing our balls?
The fear of being smashed makes them retract into their safety zone
What do you mean ? Left ball on left pedal, right ball on right pedal
Exactly, and I just throw my dick over my left shoulder so it doesn’t get tangled up in the chain.
What if your dick is the chain ?
First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats
I dunno about you, but my ass is on the seat, and the package generally stays above my legs relative to the seat.
tuck em in our waistband
Forget bikes. How do you guys use the rowing machine comfortably?
Lean back a little and keep your thighs parted.
Am I the only one that can still put the beans over the frank?
Edit: I’m 40 btw.
There’s something about that phrase…
Years ago there was a profile on PoF that would hit me up every couple of months asking if they could castrate me. (I’m a trans woman)
It was weird, they weren’t pushy or aggressive, more just, “Hey, you don’t want them, right? Seems like a win win.” Sometimes I’d play along and ask questions and stuff, but they wouldn’t say much, and never actually made any effort to meet up.
I haven’t thought about them in years, hahaha, but seeing your question brought it all back.

As a cis dude who’s asexual, I’ve gotten weird questions from straight dude bros… one asked me if I “had to be super careful” to not get myself pregnant. Honest question coming from a person our country’s education system has failed.
Are you sure that wasn’t just an attempted joke about the phrase asexual reproduction?
Spontaneous teen mitosis is on the rise!
Wow… that’s kind of baffling.
What are they implying?
Are you a slug?
You gotta glue your balls to your butthole, obviously.
I’ve had people wonder ask how I cross my legs (not foot-on-knee but actually crossed over) without my balls getting in the way or damaged
Berries down under the top thigh, twig lying on the bottom thigh.
no opposite gender has ever asked me any weird question. I guess I am lucky :D
