Cause I feel like there’s just so many shows and ads around Valentine’s Day about stuff that’ll artificially increase sex drive. I know it goes with the day, but still it must be a problem for there to be such a big market for it 😕. When I first heard that oysters are supposed to be one of the best aphrodisiacs I was like, "That's disgusting. Why would anyone want to eat something that's so visually gross and slimey. The texture looks awful. They don't even look good cooked, but people voluntarily eat them raw out of the shell????! YUCK! How are those things supposed to get a person aroused? Is there a special vitamin or something in oysters that turns people on?" Then years later I learned it wasn't really something in the food that did the trick. It was the food itself. It was the act of eating the oysters that got people in the mood. I felt pretty grossed out the day I made both discoveries. 😭😷 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My parents used to collect a lot of stuff, including cassette tapes (anyone remember those? 😆), and I used to love listening to that song. It just sounded so upbeat! Man, was I an oblivious little thing... I didn't know what it was about until I started scrolling down and reading the YouTube comments. I googled it an was like.....😮!!! Honestly I just thought it was a catchy 80s pop song, and "The Bop" was a dance. LMAO 😂 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went to an oyster farm as part of a school trip and they decided to give me like the biggest oyster 😅. I can tolerate them a lot more when cooked. But, all I can say is if people compare eating oysters to you-know-what, all I can say is I’m gonna have to take a great deal of convincing to even consider doing it. That’s ignoring the fact that I’m aro ace. I knew people were fooling around in middle and high school, but I just tried to tune it out. It was just disturbing to think of any of my underage classmates being sexually active. All I can say is don’t give into peer pressure if you don’t want to at that age. It’s folly to count on any relationships lasting after high school, and the risk isn’t worth any pleasure either party gets out of it. All it takes is for the word to get out and you can usually kiss your reputation goodbye, esp. for girls I can imagine. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always just assumed that sex really wasn't that big of a deal as everyone made it seem to be and it was just some sort of universal joke. I always thought sex was for adult married people. I was raised religious, so there was no reason for me to even entertain the idea of having sex as a kid, teen, or grown person who wasn't in a church recognized union. I never thought there was anything wrong with me, but I did think most other people were behaving improperly. Sexual attraction didn't occur to me as something that most people experience. I didn't even know the definition. Never realized others had these desires that made them want to act upon their feelings. I didn't know anything about anything pertaining to identity/sexuality for most of my life. I only heard words that I didn't understand, but thought I did at the time. Sex was never something I honestly had any intention of doing, and I didn't really understand what the big deal was, or why everyone seemed to want to do it. I was more interested in rollerblading and watching cartoons. Still am at nearly 34. lol 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laplace Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It’s funny that oysters became a talking point cause I actually had grilled oysters today cause I was eating dinner with my mom in the city 😅. Being able to cut them and having them perfectly cooked with some seasonings does wonders for the ickiness factor. It’s like eating a soft piece of pasta. Eating them with utensils actually makes it 100x less unsettling. Slurping them up is just kinda... 😟😐😖 to me. Eww fishy smell 🤢. Thankfully cooked oysters (and good oysters in generally) don’t stink. And yeah, if anyone’s organs smell like fish, that’s ****ing nasty. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
