Problem with swimsuits [Archive] - Anime Forum dot Com

yes, it is. It's annoying, and I hate swimming now, because I can never find a swimsuit I actually like. They're always so lame, and terrible if actually want to wear them just to swim. I don't care what others think, because I want to swim. But, apparently I should still be able to swim just fine with a little tiny piece of fabric that has two extra little tiny pieces of fabric that are supposed to magically hold up the swimsuit. My friends are always asking me to tie those dang things, and I must say, It's stupid. I want to swim, not constantly be thinking about what guys around me are thinking.

when will you guys get it that you dont have to take the bait.

and girls can wear what they like.

I understand the fact that girls can wear what they like. I also have no reason to look for a girl. It will only cause me problems in the future.

I just feel that wearing a regular swimsuit, including the standard two-piece is fine. The two-piece doesn't have to be smaller. It's fine the way it is.

All women want is your attention, so that they can turn it away. That's why they wear bathing suits like that, then get angry when you hit on them. It's simply to have control.

If they want our attention only to turn it away, wouldn't that make them nasty people just like the men that scope them up and down?

This has been racking my brain for awhile now and to be honest, I'm getting sick of it.

Every summer, I tend to head to a random beach, usually near me and everywhere I go, I see girls in incredibly skimpy swimsuits.

What I want to know is what's so great about increasing the amount of bare skin and decreasing the amount covered on a girl? Is it just another means of trying to turn men (and some women) on?
Why is human anatomy so distasteful to you? If someone goes to the beach in a string bikini and you don't want to look, PROTIP: Do not look. Same policy applies to nudism as far as I'm concerned.

They just want to show off their anorexic/bulimic bodies. They worked hard to get those, you know.

well a lot of girls like the one piece ones, less chance of popping out, its the same reason I dont wear a speedo,

have to remember it comes down to the girl not the suit

Thats not true for all of us ;3

But yeah, some of the newer swimsuits are barely anything more than tiny piece of cloth. Underwear covers more than some of the swimsuits Ive seen.

Well, to be honest I hardly go swimming anymore, let alone go to the beach. Though I usually wear a shirt over my swimsuit....although thats usually because I burn like a crispy critter [even with sun block] >_>;;

Oh right, my point:

A little modesty with your swimsuit isnt going to make you anymore/less attractive.

Dr. Hax

01-29-2009, 08:20 PM

It's not so much human anatomy I find distasteful as it is being what I consider overexposed. Sometimes, when I'm wondering and questioning the idea of the overexposure of skin, out of impulse, my eyes stray towards the direction of the overexposure. (Hopefully, that isn't a hypocritical statement. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of it all.)

Part of my studies includes learning about the body itself. If I'm going to be a science major, I have to know such things. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse to look. If I look, I look. After that, the curiosity is gone and I'm not thinking any lecherous thoughts.

Update: Jingle's statement made me laugh. Jimbo's also correct in saying it all comes down to the girl, not the suit.

somehow i don't get how it's a problem , they're most of the time just wearing what they think looks good on them and if they think it looks good then they feel good , and then again imsome of them are doing it just to get attention as JIMBO ^_^ said it comes down to the girl not the suit .

There are actually some cultural barriers in my opinions, especially because I came from a total opposite culture.

When I first saw girls wearing bikinis, I couldn't believe my eyes seeig how girls are so careless about how much skin they are showing, and how least they are covering their skins with. In the culture I came from were actually aware of how much skins to cover, especially the chest that really need some covering. But today, girls in that culture of where I came from was totally what I saw when I first moved to America. A country where people were so aware of showing too much skins actually became to open minded about showing more skins, and they call that the true sexiness that girls should show others to prove that they are women.

Now I do find that disturbing, because that's the culture that we can't argue about. However, I promised myself not to wear bikinis and showing bare skins. If I do wear bikinis (which is the only choice I can find now), then I would wear a big white t-shirt on top, because I truely don't feel comfortable showing part of my chest or the butt, it's just not my style at all. When I go to school or to the mall, I don't wear my tops way too low showing half of my breasts, I never show part of my chest cleavage, and I don't wear my pants too low showing part of my censored spots.

I do find that girls wear bikinis like that is to get attentions, and most part of the reason is because they follow the trend. As times goes on and on, girls wear less and show more of their bodies. It is very disturbing, but this is how it is today, that people are wearing less and less, not more and more. I tend not to stare at those people and curse at them, but I would stop looking and totally ignore it, because all girls like to show stuff, unless designers start to design those old fashion bathing suit, and see what would happen.

But if it bothers you, then don't look. If there are people doing something disturbing, why bother to look if you know you'd get angry?! I wouldn't look if I don't want to see it.

(Hopefully, that isn't a hypocritical statement. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of it all.)I feel it is. You not having a problem with anatomy and wishing they would cover it up because it makes you feel funny are contradictory statements. They aren't making you look at their Brazilian Wax. If you don't want to see it, don't look.

BestFly

I'm a dude, so I'll admit I'm not against wearing skimpy swimsuits.

But, there's a problem when they start making people feel bad about themselves and stuff, if you look good you look good, you don't need to be selling yourself to every person just so people notice you.

actually there could be several reasons why, culture, peer presure, maybe someone who actually feels good about how they look.

Same here, especially finding that I don't have a good looking body to fit in a bikini...but I would still wear it on, but must have a big tee on top of it. I find wearing a big white tee on top of the suit is waaaay sexier, because of the method of showing things see-through behind the tee...kinda like a girl getting wet wearing a white blouse.

If that's the case, then how would one get over such a funny feeling when it comes to girls covering themselves up? Do I just man up and look at them no matter how awkward I feel? That's probably the only way I can get over the funny feeling.

Ok wait....getting over a weird feeling you get when you see almost-naked ladies is NOT what the original topic was....

I think it's pretty obvious why a girl wears an incredibly skimpy swimsuit. She's confident in her appearance and she's showing it off. I'm sure even if they don't admit it, they all want some man-stud to check them out. People flaunting their bodies is not a new thing....

Some posts in this thread reek of thinly-veiled jealousy...

Personally it's not like it hurts my eyes to look. Quite on the contrary, as a matter of fact.

Mango

01-30-2009, 07:45 AM

Well I dunno where you live, but when I go to the beach it's usually on holiday somewhere very hot. In which case I would be rather uncomfortable in anything more than a small bikini.

Besides which, so what if a woman does want to attract attention? This isn't the dark ages. Are you saying we should all keep our heads down like good little girls so men don't feel threatened? Please.

One word; Trend.

Barely-there swimsuits are "in". Celebrities wear them, so the masses wear them too. It's as simple as that.

I tend to go for the "wet T shirt look". In my opinion, it will never get old. ^^

01-30-2009, 09:24 AM

People can wear what they want at beaches, if it shows too much of the body, but not personal parts, and people look at them, sometimes they want the people to look at them. One piece, Two piece, Both look sexy, but that's how people want to look. sure- some want to be safe and not show off their bodies, but that's their choices.

Amray The II

01-30-2009, 10:47 AM

I personally find that there is nothing wrong with any form of female swimsuit. Not for myself of course as I am male, but they are good to look at,..when a female is wearing one, ..a good looking one of course.

If it is attention that they seek when wearing one of those things then, with regards to myself, they get it. But it does not have to get any more serious than that, just looking and giving the confidence and attention they need is all fair. Both genders get something positive from it.

I am just stating it how it is.

I don't know how the myth started, but men, are not attracted to skinny women, but are turned off by them!
I blame it all on Twiggy!

Other than that I think both men and women have the freedom to wear (or not wear) whatever they want.

Not necessarily. The last swimsuit I bought, which was roughly 2 years ago, was smaller than that I've ever worn. Excluding, of course, ones I wore when I was a toddler. But I found it hard to not fidget when I wore it because of all the ties and crap. I kept thinking that it was going to come undone. That, and the bottoms kept riding.

Price you pay for wearing a postage stamp.

@MCDOOM: is that a candid shot of men ACTUALLY wearing the mankini? Or is it just some stunt?

I work very hard to keep in shape. I try to watch what I eat and I work out. Somehow that makes me "anorexic/bulemic" and allows you to trash me in a thread because I wear a bikini. Riiiiiiiight.

Men ARE attracted to skinny women. They like to see someone who is in shape, to say otherwise is simply ignorant. If men were not attracted to this, Playboy wouldn't prominently display them. Your logic is flawed. Attractiveness is determined by the masses and modeling/pornography/entertainment industry is reactive.

Girls like to be looked at, not so you will come and ask them out just to turn you down. It means they are attractive. Why do birds have bright and colorful plumes, to be attractive to find a mate. Its the same reason men who have big muscular bodies run around with small tight shirts, or no shirts at all. Because its attractive and people look. If people are looking it illicits a feeling of being desired/wanted, and that makes people feel good. EVERYONE wants to feel needed/wanted in some way, its human nature, why we form groups/cliques.

I agree with MP2K, if you don't like it, don't look.

Umm, the reason women wear hot swimsuits is because... it's hot...? Hot in the sense that it's sexy hot, not temperature hot, although that could be it too, from a practical perspective. I mean, c'mon. Only a foreigner blindly puts on a nipple suit.

Personally I've always had a fetish for the Japanese. They're all so fragile looking and graceful and... flat... Not too flat, which is also good. Girls my age in America either have implants or are horse breeds bred specifically for having big luggage. It's creepy. Anyway, it shouldn't bother you too much.

If you don't like it, don't look.

If you like it, enjoy the show.

I, meanwhile, am going to close my eyes and tan.

BLASPHEMY (sorry for the double post, didn't know how to edit a quote into a post that's been quick-posted.

I like a girl who is:
*slightly shorter than me
*light and soft skinned
*short haired
*flat-chested (A-cup, maybe a B-cup, but definitely not a C-cup)

I go for the breakable Japanese beauty. Ironically I'm dating a german girl. Aside from the soft skin and short hair she's perfect for me. She's so brown she's almost black haired :3

Not all men are attracted by mainstream. In fact, only mainstream and substream men are attracted to mainstream women. We nons have unique preferences.

I sort of agree with what you are saying, but you're making a terrible argument for it. Any given ideal, and what people at the same time actually are attracted to are always going to differ. In the end, what we are genetically preprogrammed to be attracted to is healthy looking people. The "night of the living dead" ideal that currently permeates fashion has strayed from that quite a bit, and isn't attractive (or is outright repulsive) to many people.

Rubedo, the Crystal Blood

01-31-2009, 09:35 AM

I won't say a well-endowed skinny girl doesn't get my attention, but I get turned off by the attitude. It's like a feudal heierarchy. The skinnier you are, the more power you get, until you get so skinny everybody hates you.

A lot of girls I know are always freaking out about what they eat and not enjoying life because (a) they won't eat, (b) they're picky about their men, and (c) they always pick the wrong men.

It's proven that a girl who eats regularly, goes out often, and saves her money on stuff she actually likes, is healthier, more attractive, and more self-satisfied with herself. Unfortunately in this day and age you'd have you travel at least 5,478 miles just to find proof of that.

Proven where? studies? facts? reliable sources? Who says that women don't actually LIKE fashion? who says that women spend money on things they hate? Your problem with women who are skinny is not their bodies being aesthetically displeasing, its their attitude. We're not taking into account pscyhosocial additives. Simply put, carnal attraction is on women who have breasts and hips because they both are evolutionary signs for reproduction.

FYI - last Milan fashion show told models that were "too" skinny they couldn't model. The industry is trying to break away from the skeletons that have permiated the industry to promote a "healthy" look.

Which we're getting with shows like "Burn Notice" and "In Plain Sight". Sadly, MTV is still showcasing Laguna Beach-ish shows, but Comedy Central is getting the message.

I think I made another vague comparison here. To Minako-sama's "skinny" I attributed the American Skeleton. To my "skinny" I attributed a sense of health. I won't date a girl who doesn't eat, skinny or not. And I've known asian girls for eating, both really skinny, in the middle, and really fat.

As much as I disagree with the post that you previously quoted, and agree with your terms with regards that woman becoming "healthy" due to fashion and money spending is simply stupid, there is one thing in that post of his/hers that is actually true...

It is actually a proven fact that woman that eat on a regular basis are a lot more healthier than others. I know that may be common sense but what I mean is that unfit or overweight woman that diet by eating more food (healthier food rich of carbohydrates, fibres, and minerals) become a lot more slimmer and healthier than those woman that starve themselves thinking that they will lose weight from it. It is quite ironic that eating more when trying to lose weight is the best alternative but that is where a majority of females get confused and think they know better. If you do want results on that, which I doubt as it is common sense to mostly anyone, then I can get it within a minute.

A girl that is of high standing in terms of money and fashion can be healthier, but that is more of a personal health to satisfy the bearer, whether she is fit or not, as opposed to a physical one which is why statistics and facts will be hard to research.

Also if this stands for anything, the majority of men are more attractive to slim and slender females than they are fat and unfit ones. This is not an actual proven fact as it means little interest to most people and is more of a personal issue. But from what I can determine, the average man will always choose a big-breasted, slim female over a fat stumpy one with hairy feet and no visible hips. One reason that I can determine this is that I myself am a member of the male gender.

It is because I am male that I understand many other males, ones close to me and various other random ones, and that they all have their own set of standards, most are the same or similar. I prefer girls with small breasts but if one was to stand ten men in a line to ask them what breast size they prefered, I would assume me, and maybe one other of those individuals, prefers them small (hand grasping size, a size just right for caressing with the full palm).

Actually its not all our fault though personally i need go to the beach with out shorts on. The designers keep making bathingsuits more revealing. The ones that cover you properly are usually ugly and doesn't go well with everyones personal figure; neither do the skimpy ones. but you have to keep in mind thatnot everyone wears skimpy suits

For women to explicitly show their bare skin at swimming pools or even the beach is something that I find is very unattractive... Sure, you want to show off your curves and other "physical attractiveness" that you may have but by just doing that degrades women so much. Its as if we are saying that a woman needs to dress skimpy in order for men to look her way... It is very sad...

But... you kinda have to dress skimpy to go swimming... it's kind of difficult to do fully clothed. :>

Now girls who wear tank tops and mini skirts in the middle of winter... that freaks me out a little.

01-31-2009, 01:51 PM

It's hard not trying to look even if you didn't want to. They just... stand out. You can't lower your head the whole time you're there, right?
I don't like swimming in the Beach anyways. And I rarely go there. I also don't like public swimming pools. I only swim in private swimming pools well clothed and feeling comfortable. I'm not the kind who likes to show off skin. =/

Now girls who wear tank tops and mini skirts in the middle of winter... that freaks me out a little.

That's not scary. That's called stupid. Those kind of girls are very naive and would do anything to attract guys. It's just dumb.
I'd love to see them suffer when there's strong wind or when it's too cold outside that their legs start hurting like Hell. Then the problems that'll occur once they get older...

I disagree with all of the answers here.

Woman wear it because it's the only thing there.
I have notice a decline in cover up for a while more and more designers are making shirts with giant holes in the back of the shirt, in front of a shirt.
I call the swimsuits they are coming out with skimpsuits.
It's the only thing there.
I go shopping with my cousin she is curvy, not to be confused with fat a lot of you people think that just cause a girls got curves she fat..not true, it's very upsetting to her.
Because she wants to create a barrier of what the guys are allowed to see and what guys aren't.
A little V neck is all she wants, she can't find that.
She wants a skirt, all of them are mostly little mini skirts. She can't find something above the knee, but not so short we can see your underwear and what little rear you have.
Pants forget about it, most of them were designed with girls with no curves.

I don't have a problem with woman[18up] wearing skimpsuits, but young woman [13-15] shouldn't be wearing that.

Oh and by the way little girls clothing we are talking[10-12] clothes aren't better either.
A lot of them I stare at them and say you are going to let a young expose her self like that in front of people.

It isn't the woman, it's the designers.
It's the celebs.

Its not eating more, its eating smaller meals more frequently to keep your metabolism up. So your logic is slightly flawed. If you want to lose weight its eating the right foods, leaving out candy, fats, fried foods etc, and eating fresh fruits and veggies, and low fat meats.

Many women who ARE healthy DO do this. its not always starving yourself that makes people skinny and most people, super models and body builders, miss americas ect, do take care of their bodies and keep skinny the healthy way. Its the every day people with psychological problems that become anorexic and bulemic, and thats mostly because of the pressures from outside forces, such as guys and girls at their school on their level. NOT from the commercials.

Instead of quoting like...a zillion posts, I'll just make a general post.

Like I mentioned earlier, I dont think theres anything wrong with a girl wearing a bikini. They're cute and good for those who want to get a bit tanned. And I mean, if youve got the body, then of course you wanna show it off a bit. Nothing wrong with that.

Something like [oh look, pictures!]:

But, theres the trend of the micro biniki. Not sure about other places, but Ive seen more than I wanted to here in Florida o_O

Micro bikini ≠ swimsuit

True, if you dont wanna see it dont go to the beach. Sadly, my school isnt too far off from the beach, and more than often Ive seen half naked women walking around....men too. And when you see something outta the corner of your eye and something doesnt seem right, you look. Even if its right in front of you, you really cant help but stare. Its like the idea of a car wreck: you know you shouldnt look but you simply cant help but gawk at it.

The last two pictures are somehow disgusting if you ask me.If you want to see as much as that then find a room with your girlfriend.

Those last two pictures... they're practically naked. D: If that's what the OP meant, I might have to agree. :>

Ah, to those who asked about the other pic, it's a Borat Swimsuit, I never thought something THAT ridiculous would turn into a trend.
Maru's last two pics... anyone who tried those at least never would know that they'd require an adaptable body, and that they're so hard to keep them covering the right places. Walking around in them must be pretty awkward, let alone swimming. Everyone should know that those kind of induments, if I may call them so, are not at all wearable in public resorts; private parties, more like it.
In a personal point of view, i see them uncomfortable if I were to wear something like.. a tanga:

People can run around butt naked for all I care. Whatever rocks their boat, to each and his own, and other similar-meaning idioms.

In a Simpsons episode, whilst entering heaven as a naked spirit, Homer encounters a "Bewitched"* Guardian:
Angel: Welcome to Heaven, if you could put a towell on, we may proceed inside.
Homer: Nah, i'm fine like this.
Angel: Yes, but this is Heaven for everybody, i'm affraid.

See, the problem stands in what could you really call "being free": Being free to run around naked, or being free from having to see people running around naked. Or, if were to get a little vulgar, "One man's meat is another man's poison".
*Bewitched is only a geman-ish euphemism, that makes me more charismatic when I use it.

I'm from the Internet. At this point there's little chance of any mere nudity being able to phase me. Frankly, I think being OK with naked people is a fairly ideal state to be in. Plus I disagree with those sorts of "freedom from" statements because they always wind up encouraging censorship.

Well, generally, people wear swimsuits on the beach. I'm not really seeing the issue. You're more than likely to see an over-abundance of skin there.

If your mailman or woman was delivering your mail in a bikini, then i'd be a little bit worried, lol.

The last two pictures are something that we won't commonly see at the beach unless we really try to find those online...How often or how big the chances are to see women wearing those at the beach...it's really not a good enough example. Those are almost naked...yes practically, I can just come out naked with two pieces of stickers on and with my hands covering another spot.

Like I mentioned, Im not sure about everywhere else, but I have seen them here...far more than once. My mother makes it a point to drag me out to the beach because Im too "pasty white" and I see them. They may not look *exactly* like that, but the point is that there are women who wear swimsuits that cover that much.

What even worse is that Ive seen a few women over the age of 50 in micro bikinis too....

Omg I would shiver too...I agree with that. I have no problems with women wearing bikinis if they DO look good in it. But what also bothers me is that women who are too huge to look good in bikinis, I mean those that totally shows their tummy fats thats even bigger than their breasts...that's a very big turn off.

That is just cruel.
She thinks her body looks good even if you don't.
Stick it to your own advice, if you don't like it don't look.

Everyone's size is right for them.
If she is happy in her body then let her be.

I don't really because I've learned not to stare at things I don't like. Plus, Washington beaches aren't exactly the hottest location for me to be at (too cold!). I wouldn't care at all if it didn't seem like the only cute-looking swimwear to be found was only in bikini style.

You poor, poor thing.

To be traumatized liked that really makes me shiver as well.

Kinda gives you that "Thanks for incinerating my eyes." feeling when you see a women exposing her midriff in a bikini when half of her body composition is fat, doesn't it?

It's one of the worst feelings in the world, but as most have said in here, "If it disgusts you, don't look..." or something of a similar sort. I shall heed this advice but I shall also try to overcome my disgust by intentionally looking. Over time, I will be comfortable and everything will be okay.

Read what I said on the first page, something like if it bothers you then don't look. That was what I said. Plus, what I've said earlier wasn't telling you that it is annoying to see, I only said what I think that makes me shiver. Sharing something that makes my eyes red means that I'm an ignorant not knowing that I shouldn't look if I don't like it?

but as most have said in here, "If it disgusts you, don't look..."

And I also DID say something like that according to your starting post, mister. And it was you who started the topic asking for opinions, no need to teach me that =]

Everyone's size is right for them.
If she is happy in her body then let her be.

I was just saying what makes me shiver the most, but did I say something like "she shouldn't wear like that"? Did I say that I would stop her from showing fats? No! =] I said the same thing in my first post, if it bothers, then don't look. But what I said was totally something that would shiver people up. Plus, whenever I see people wearing like that, I just turn around before my eyes turn red.

...and I'm saying that I know the feeling of those shivers. Besides, I should be heeding your advice anyway as well as everyone else's. I never stated in any of my posts that you were ignorant but if you feel that I have, please quote and I shall try to explain.

But what I said was totally something that would shiver people up.

It worked...

Lastly, before bed, I'm not trying to teach you anything. I think it would be a means of saying, "No matter how in-depth we get on the topic, it will revert back to one simple sentence.". That sentence would be, "If it disgusts you, don't look.".

See? Not trying to teach...I do that every weekday from afternoon to evening with tea ceremony before and after my first and last classes. =]

Some girls dont really intend to get guys attention and wear them for themselves not for the men. Like me.
Then again some are just not meant to wear them.

They just want to show off their anorexic/bulimic bodies. They worked hard to get those, you know.

Yeah, all that throwing up they do to get themselves that skinny...then to have the guys run away in fear, either from the bad breath of stomach acid or their sagging breasts.

I feel sooo sorry for their stomachs....

I'm gonna go with: because it's the done thing.

EDIT: I just had a thought regarding this thread and it's title... (Um, I'm not even sure I believe this argument, but I figured I'd put it out there anyhow.)

I believe the "problem" does not lie within the swimwear, or it's wearer... I believe it lies within the people who take it upon themselves to judge them.

All this "it burns my eyes!" crap is kind of harsh, don't you think? So what if some obese fifty year old wants to wear a bikini. It seems to me that you're effectively requesting they change their appearance for your benefit.

Fixed it for you. I'm not the only one who would think that on a beach. I'm sure others would think the same.

Exactly, an angry minority should always be able to censor actions they don't like that in no way effect anyone but the one taking the action. It's like Freedom 101. Also, I like how you assumed everyone else felt the same way about the subject when most people don't really care.

And his point was that your desire to eliminate the choice of wearing skimpy bikini's doesn't even pretend to stem from protecting others (goofy half-baked statements like "protect the children" haven't issued from your lips) but instead have been centered on the fact that you don't like skimpy bikinis and you shouldn't have to see them.

Yes, it is ever increasingly bad. It's something we have to live with, I suppose. People seem to think it's acceptable for women to just prance around showing the world their body. Yeah, it's their body, but my eyes sure as heck don't want to have to see that.

Besides, women who wear stuff like that tend to be insecure. Be confident, because everyone is beautiful. :]

First time I am ever hearing anyone whining about swimsuits. But then again I am from a different culture, even if the difference isn't much.

I believe girls wear what they want to, not to look slutty and make guys (or girls) drool after them. If they feel confident with their body then why is it so wrong for them to just wear bikinis? I personally think bikinis look much better than swimsuits that covers up the whole body.

I prefer the phrase, "Getting it off one's chest" over whining. It softens the blow, I would think.

But they do look slutty. People who think they do just prefer not to say it to them to prevent any drama from occurring. I don't say out loud that they are but I strongly think it.

Bikinis have a small chance of coming undone.

Protip: Statistically, everyone has a penis and/or vagina. I know this fact is shocking and disgusting in the extreme, but I think that this information needs to be thrown out there so that people don't walk into a locker room expecting to see crotches as smooth and featureless as those on Barbie and Ken only to have their lives ruined.

If my deductive skills are as good as I would assume, then I would be correct in assuming that you are a virgin, correct? Even if that was a sarcastic comment it was just too corny, yet if the statement were serious then those would definitely be the words of the inexperienced. Nevertheless they are the words that one would expect from a sarcastic and smart-mouthed virgin.

Wait, given the size-7 bold red text proclamation of "ZOMG NO!!!!!!!!!!" that prefaced my comment, there's still some question as to the sarcasm-content of the following sentiences? It's almost as though I was being sarcastic throughout, exaggerating Lord Of The Rant's uncomfortableness around female anatomy into an actual fear of all human genitalia. But that's too reasonable to be true. As for your assertion, no, and you are only wrong by about 10 years but thanks for playing.
