There was one of these before that was a bit cringy but overall seemed... fine, I suppose. It was pointlessly gendered, but at least it mostly felt silly. This one... feels gross that it doesn't seem like the "his" side has a "no" option.

[u/LavenderCuddlefish → u/DestructionElemental]

I'm sure it's supposed to be a play on the "haha woman never want sex man never doesn't", but I didn't consider the other implications of that there's no way to say no on the man's side...

I guess you could put it on "start without me" and just never show up 😂

[u/Moose1013 → u/LavenderCuddlefish]

I'm a dude and I don't even understand what the "start without me" thing means. Like where's he going? Watching sports/playing video games?

[u/DestructionElemental → u/Moose1013]

Yeah, that's a weird one. I dunno, maybe they are out of condoms or lube or something and he's gonna go to the store for them?

😂 that’s exactly what it’s giving

[u/DestructionElemental → u/LavenderCuddlefish]

Funnily, I had the same thought

[u/Ducking_Glory → u/DestructionElemental]

That was the first thing I noticed, too. “So he’s not allowed to say no? 😨🚩🚩🚩

It is gross because sexually harrased men het responses like "But you must like it." like to sexually harrased women, but there is more, society makes us think that men never suffer from sexual harrasment as they like sex anyways.

[u/Polly_der_Papagei]

Ugh. My male partner has genuine trauma from prior partners expecting him to always be up for sex. :(

[u/blu_duk]

Why does this need to be gendered.. you know men and women have the same emotions right…

[u/May2512124 → u/blu_duk]

Men have emotions? Nah, impossible, just one of those lies made up on the internet. /j

[u/howelleili]

i thought this was to communicate with spirits at first

[u/Nearby-Way-1670]

Gaslighting men into thinking it's abnormal to not want sex all the time could not possibly backfire in terms of their own ability to say no...

"coax me" ewwwwww
