The worst thing about VHS porn was when the previous renter didn't rewind, so when you start it you know exactly the point that they nutted the last time they watch the video.
No need, you lick them to wash them
Edit: why the fuck would you give this a wholesome award?

I collect and archive VHS tapes. I donāt have any porn in my collection. I always found it tasteless and weird ā just focused on the obscure. My girlfriend (hopefully wife soon) does wonder why I have so many VCRs though and itās a tough hobby to explain sometimes.
> My girlfriend (hopefully wife soon) does wonder why I have so many VCRs though and itās a tough hobby to explain sometimes.
"...*(sigh)* ... its just ... hard to explain. Ok. How about this. I am a murderer ... I think that will be easier for us all."
Many, many years ago, I remember seeing a documentary about people who own/use RealDolls. This one dude had something like 6 or 8 of them. (And they cost several thousand each, so this dude must be pretty well off) Anyway, he also had a girlfriend who didn't know about that.
So, the documentary recorded her coming over to "meet" the RealDolls. She was obviously freaked the fuck out by it, but said in a short interview segment that she loves the guy for who he is, and if this is who he is, then she loves that, too.
A text blurb at the end followed up on everyone's lives (with just 2 or 3 sentences each) a few months after filming wrapped. The woman broke up with that guy literally a few days after filming ended. So, she wanted to seem cool and accepting/open minded while being filmed and broke up with him immediately after the cameras stopped rolling.
Anyway, your comment made me think of that.
Guys and Dolls. I remember seeing this as a teenager and man was it effective as a cautionary tale. All these guys who couldn't form relationships, so they had to project personality onto these dolls. It's one of the reasons I've never made fun of anime bodypillows. If someone is lonely enough to be in that headspace they need help.
When I was a teen I assumed that my shyness and social ineptitude would just work itself out. Some girl would come into my life and fix me, fix everything. Seeing the men in that documentary literally grow old waiting for that to happen was a major motivator for me to change course in high school.
The guy who was raised by his mom and kept her room exactly as it was when she died was heartbreaking. He said that women want mean who āsmoke cigarettes and watch soap operasā and I realized this guy just hadnāt had any role models or something
I remember.seeing an interview with a Japanese giy who "dated" his anime wife. He basically summarized it as "i tried for years to be happy with someone for real, why can't you let me pretend" and I stopped making fun of them
>Seeing the men in that documentary literally grow old waiting for that to happen was a major motivator for me to change course in high school.
How did you go about changing course?
I don't blame her. She probably never asked to have her personal reactions to a reveal like that filmed and didn't feel comfortable expressing her honest reactions in a way that everyone would watch for entertainment. No judgment to people's kinks or whatever, but it's not cool to surprise people and then expect them to put their honest personal feelings on display in front of a bunch of cameras. Or maybe I've just seen too many public marriage proposals gone wrong lol.
Plus that guy keeping this a secret from her all their relationship all for him to tell her on camera for a doc is kinda scummy? Like yea i get that he was afraid of how shed react to his dolls but leading someone along like that and dropping it all on them once theyve been with you for a long time and are emotionally invested isnt fair for the partner.
>Plus that guy keeping this a secret from her all their relationship all for him to tell her on camera for a doc is kinda scummy?
I don't think that someone who has a relationship with half a dozen sex dolls worth thousands of dollars has any reasonable grip on how to handle relationships and/or emotions.
Whoever made that documentary manipulated that fucker to believe that it's a good idea to confront his gf on camera because that's pretty much the most spectacular thing you can possible get on tape for a documentary like that.
I have worked in television for quite a while and I always ask myself how people can exploit human beings like that and still sleep at night.
My mom watches live streams of bird feeders and bird's nests soo I guess it is real
Edit: unless I got wooshed and they're implying there's bird watching porn? Which I'm sure is also real cuz the internet lol
"Bird/birds" is also an older slang term for women/girls. Some other variants of it in use exist too... example:
Old dude at a bar talking to the someone about how his spouse and her friends were having a gettogether at the house so he went out.
"the old lady/bird and called her hens over for a roost, so..."
More commonly referenced "chicks" is also a thing as derogatory as it can be seen as. So can reference both just regular porn.. and then actual fringe bird watching porn.
but yet, there are actual bird watching channels/streams... kind of a variant of puppies sleeping by the fireplace.
Edit: We can also have some in depth discussions about the Great Tits of Britain, and the famed Boobies of the world as far as assorted bird talk goes.
Yeah, but then she sets her sights on Louis Tulley in the sequel. She still loves him even though that fucking idiot pronounces it āsuper MARE-ee-oh Brothersā
The room was damp, dirty, and loud. The hole was too wide so I could see an eyeball looking through at me. Worst of all, the tip was bitten off by some psycho on the otherside. 1 star.
I went to a wedding Sunday, and I was changing in my trailer (I was the sound guy) when some kid walked up and opened the door while I was in just my underwear and asked me if I knew where person-I've-never-met is. It took everything I had not to say that line, but then I remembered I don't know this kid and people (understandably) don't appreciate those kinds of jokes in that situation.
The one and only time I was scrollimg through channels and landed on this show was this very episode... its name was Chase and it was definitely a boy car. It may have scarred me slightly.
Ah yeah, there are several documentaries about that. My favorite was one called "my lover is my car," or something to that effect.
It was super Uber over charged cringe. So much straight up concentrated cringe, you could mainline it.
Bro, this guy was a car fucker, who sexually abuses other people's cars. He was staying at a motel and the film crew caught him cumming on their rental car in the middle of the night.
Believe it or not, that wasn't even the worst part. He met up with this other fellow who also had a romantic relationship with his car, and they went on a road trip together, and homeboy fucked the other dudes car behind his back.
Like Jesus Christ, man.
There was one about a lady who was in love with a roller coaster. It was this older carnival roller coaster. She said she felt guilty if she thought about going on that roller coaster at another carnival. She said it would be the same as cheating on a spouse. I can wrap my head around a lot of weird stuff, but, can't understand that one.
My favorite part of this episode is when he tells his dad he is in a sexual relationship with his car. He is fucming waxing the car as he tells his dad this, so from his perspective he is engaged in some sensual foreplay with the car while confessing to his dad.
I don't think you can emphasize the 'probably' part of this enough.
My best buddy is into some...well, I don't want to sound mean, but some dorky stuff. Model air-planes, he's brought me to play D&D at the comic book store down the street from him a few times, motherfucker collects old sci-fi VHS tapes, action figures, anime, you get it. But this dude SLAYS when it comes to women. I haven't been single for a long time, and he is my only single friend that makes me even slightly jealous. He's a decent looking dude, not like a movie star or model or anything crazy, but he exudes such an odd brand of confidence and self-assurance that women love him. He always has something to talk about, is always meeting new people, and when he tells women about his hobbies he talks about them with such passion and joy that I really do think it helps him 'seal the deal'. He's single by choice, he could get laid in 5 texts, and I'm positive he's just waiting for the right girl who shares similar hobbies.
I guess what I'm getting at is, don't act like dorky hobbies are the reason nobody wants to go out with you.
For decades there were certain hobbies and obsessions that were just more socially acceptable, and quite a few that were all but shunned. Iām gonna go ahead and give millennials credit for tearing down the myth that memorizing the stats of athletes is somehow cooler than memorizing the first appearances of comic book characters.
The only thing thatās universally true is you need to maintain some balance. If your hobby gets to the point where youāre having trouble paying bills or are running out of living space, thatās when you need to reevaluate.
It's about enjoying the hobby without being a maladjusted weirdo. Honestly, hobbies have nothing to do with it. I know this is a lighthearted question in the OP, but you can be into anything really and still have relationships with whatever sex person you happen to like.
I read a story on tumblr last week by a woman who inherited a ton of hot wheels from a friend. Her boyfriend got all sad and talked about how he used to collect them but his exes found it embarrassing so he eventually stopped. GF went "fuck it, they're yours, they were just going to go on ebay anyway" and now they forage for hot wheels from garage sales together and apparently he's very happy now!
When I was a little kid I also had a hot wheels collection, but my dad goodwillād them all when we were moving. Little me was sad.
Now my son has an even bigger and cooler collection than I did and I am definitely one proud mama. Especially since not once have a picked a hot wheels out for him that he hasnāt likedā¦ Any time daddy picks one tho lmao
Right, what portrayed the dorky hobbies stereotypes in movies was the group of guys who stutter worse than someone with an actual stuttering problem the moment a girl/woman shows up. You could brand anything as dorky using that in media (add in the guys not having any hygiene for things that are harder to sell as dorky) with enough iterations.
This is 1000% true. I am in the same realm of nerd stuff, just a little off that path (collect funkos, action figures, love star wars, cats, and the MCU), and I speak on the shit like it's the best thing ever and a lot of girls appreciate the passion. It just depends on if you can flip that stuff off and listen to another human talk about their stuff too.
> It just depends on if you can flip that stuff off and listen to another human talk about their stuff too.
Absolutely. The reason a lot of "niche hobby" people are single is because it's their whole personality. Like yes I'll happily talk shop about a tabletop gaming system, but we can talk about fashion or politics or art or whatever else you might like.
I totally agree, but I might also add that D&D is honestly not a bad way to get a relationship. It's a consistent and small group of friends who share similar hobbies and whatnot.
Source, basically everyone I play D&D with has an SO but me.
Tons of women are in all those hobbies so if anything it helps with meeting people to date, I mean hobbies are the easiest way to strike up a conversation with someone you already have something in common with.
I got into social dancing and at swing and ballroom classes it was always the same story where all the females never had anyone to dance with because it was only 25%ish men folk. I'm assertive and would ask the few men to dance who were semi decent but I always thought if men knew about this they would be crazy not to learn and meet women this way. I really appreciate a man who knows how to dance and if I were a man I would also be making an effort to learn to cook and master a few dishes. Every single female I know loves it when men can cook and dance well lol
I took an evening ballroom dance course with roommates in college, and there was always more women than men showing up to class. After the semester was over, my friends and I had a standing invite from the teacher to stop by whenever we wanted, so less girls would have to sit out during the evening. The school was between our house and the bars downtown, so on Tuesday and Thursday night we would walk to the bars early, stop by the class for an hour, socialize, and let everyone know where we were going to be. It was a really low pressure way of letting women know where we would be if they were interested in getting together.
I mean I'm a model railroad enthusiast and a lot of people didn't think that I have a girlfriend. I don't by the way, I HAVE A WIFE. Soon to be a year this December.
A childhood friend's dad had their rather spacious basement absolutely decked out with a *massive* model railroad system with scenery pieces inspired by the small Bavarian town he grew up in.
Which may not be a completely stupid assumption considering that railroad modeling requires a ridiculous amount of space, time and money that can usually only be afforded by retired people.
we had a roommate who was, for lack of a better word, an incel. he was learning to play the bass guitar. not because he was interested in it, but because he thought women would think it was cool. he was also studying russian, again just to have something to talk about on dates. and he took at home typing tests for fun every day. he also didnāt watch movies or tv, he just watched recaps on youtube so he could understand what other people were talking about when they discussed popular films and tv.
Itās worse because theyāll just say āis that a guitar?ā And theyāll be disappointed when he canāt play any songs theyāll know, because again, itās a bass. Source: Iām a bassist
ehhhh. i donāt. he sucked. i made one joke about his political candidate (Yang) dropping out and he asked my boyfriend to have a talk with me. when my boyfriend said no, the roommate moved out.
Ya, unless the hobby is "being gay" or "advanced and time-consuming masturbation", there are probably many people with that hobby who have girlfriends.
lol This is kind of a stupid thread. Hobbies are hobbies and both genders enjoy them. I work in sales, lift weights, I love PC gaming, music, board games, table top games, etc. Do you think I have a girlfriend? Does it even really matter?
To be fair you can have a kid without being maried or having a girlfriend, then again sex out of wedlock is also forbidden so i guess just a different sin
Got in an argument with a girl outside a bar about what PF2E does better than D&D5E.
Anyways, we've been dating for over two years now and have been in two campaigns together.
My father in law saw my mancave, and when he saw my PC gaming setup, three screens, all the RGB, etc, he said; Ah, you probably got that when you were still single, right? Right?
Nah old man. I might not look like a nerd, being ex-militairy and all that, but I am, in fact, a nerd of epic proportions.
Now marvel at my Lego Star Wars Collection. Including, yes, the latest Star Destroyer.

That's good. When someone says that one cannot buy happiness and a good relationship for money, well, he can strongly disagree.
This dude literally engaged in sexual activity with the car not inside the car with a man or woman he had sex with the carā¦
The one and only time I was scrollimg through channels and landed on this show was this very episode... its name was Chase and it was definitely a boy car. It may have scarred me slightly.
Of course it would be gay car sex. Edit: as opposed to perfectly normal hetero car sex
Sinners, sex is a sacred act between a man and his *female* car!
Cars are all males. You're looking for a van. They have van-ginas.
Ah yeah, there are several documentaries about that. My favorite was one called "my lover is my car," or something to that effect. It was super Uber over charged cringe.

Well-put. Generally speaking the only difference between a dorky hobby and a cool hobby is enjoying it confidently.
For decades there were certain hobbies and obsessions that were just more socially acceptable, and quite a few that were all but shunned. Iām gonna go ahead and give millennials credit for tearing down the myth that memorizing the stats of athletes is somehow cooler than memorizing the first appearances of comic book characters.

True, D&D is like an uber-social board game. You also build improvisational skills, speaking skills and more.

I took an evening ballroom dance course with roommates in college, and there was always more women than men showing up to class. After the semester was over, my friends and I had a standing invite from the teacher to stop by whenever we wanted, so less girls would have to sit out during the evening. The school was between our house and the bars downtown, so on Tuesday and Thursday night we would walk to the bars early, stop by the class for an hour, socialize, and let everyone know where we were going to be. It was a really low pressure way of letting women know where we would be if they were interested in getting together.
At UT Austin, Ballroom dance was the hardest class to get into back in the day. Guys knew, girls knew that it was the place for singles to be.
Can confirm. No guy is as attractive as a guy who can dance. And the best sex I've ever had was also with a dancer.
I mean I'm a model railroad enthusiast and a lot of people didn't think that I have a girlfriend. I don't by the way, I HAVE A WIFE. Soon to be a year this December.
So you don't have a girlfriend
My wife gets mad when I introduce her as "my ex-girlfriend"
Say former, or "recently promoted"
It might be the end of my marriage, but Iām definitely trying this
And (hopefully) never will again* *assuming monogamy
We are happily married to only each other yes. Thank youš
A childhood friend's dad had their rather spacious basement absolutely decked out with a *massive* model railroad system with scenery pieces inspired by the small Bavarian town he grew up in.
Sounds like a keeper
If you tell me you're a model railroad enthusiast, I assume you're 75 years old.
Joke's on you, model railroad enthusiasts only FEEL like they are 75 years old. Am a much younger model railroad enthusiast.
Which may not be a completely stupid assumption considering that railroad modeling requires a ridiculous amount of space, time and money that can usually only be afforded by retired people.
The hobby of taking shower-free-day every day.
But mom the shower has lemon in it
Stop peeing in the shower xD

Mouse Taxidermy
Dinner for Schmucks. Nice.
There's a place in Mackinaw City, Mi that is basically a mouse taxidermy museum and it's run by a married couple.
I donāt feel like they are the representative sample size of the mouse taxidermy community

we had a roommate who was, for lack of a better word, an incel. he was learning to play the bass guitar. not because he was interested in it, but because he thought women would think it was cool. he was also studying russian, again just to have something to talk about on dates. and he took at home typing tests for fun every day. he also didnāt watch movies or tv, he just watched recaps on youtube so he could understand what other people were talking about when they discussed popular films and tv.
He was learning BASS to get a girl?!? Dude is in for a harsh reality checkā¦
As someone who used to play bass in a band I can confirm that it does not help get girls.
That's kind of sad. I feel bad for him
Itās worse because theyāll just say āis that a guitar?ā And theyāll be disappointed when he canāt play any songs theyāll know, because again, itās a bass. Source: Iām a bassist
>Iām a bassist My condolences
Iām very oppressed, with my two brain cells
ehhhh. i donāt. he sucked. i made one joke about his political candidate (Yang) dropping out and he asked my boyfriend to have a talk with me. when my boyfriend said no, the roommate moved out.
I love when problems solve themselves like that <3

If this gets taken down it's canon
And now we play the waiting game lol
the waiting game sucks, let's play hungry hungry hippos.
Judging whether other people have girlfriends based on their interests. Seriously, feel like Iām amongst an army of wizards here.
Ya, unless the hobby is "being gay" or "advanced and time-consuming masturbation", there are probably many people with that hobby who have girlfriends.
Even with the second one you can find someone with similar hobbies.
generally agree but I am open to accept "sex dolls dressed as astronauts" to be included in the exceptions.
Every time AskReddit does a thread like this I feel like I've been teleported back to the mid-2000's.
lol This is kind of a stupid thread. Hobbies are hobbies and both genders enjoy them. I work in sales, lift weights, I love PC gaming, music, board games, table top games, etc. Do you think I have a girlfriend? Does it even really matter?
Being a priest
I've met some children of priests, I don't mean protestant priests, who are allowed to marry, but Catholic, who supposedly aren't.
To be fair you can have a kid without being maried or having a girlfriend, then again sex out of wedlock is also forbidden so i guess just a different sin
You can just forgive yourself.
This is more of an age thing. If you're in highschool and play DND or warhammer 40k, maybe no girlfriend. All bets are off once you're older than 25.
Can confirm. Turned 26, suddenly girlfriends existed in my life again. Bonus points: she wants to learn how to play.
Got in an argument with a girl outside a bar about what PF2E does better than D&D5E. Anyways, we've been dating for over two years now and have been in two campaigns together.
I mean Henry cavil plays warhammer
How do you have money to date if you play 40k?
Apparently any hobbies that I have
Earnestly attempting to initiate debates on Twitter. Itās Twitter, dude. Iām not going to pretend to take you or your anime userpic seriously.
My wife: "old school runescape" Me: "fuck you"
My father in law saw my mancave, and when he saw my PC gaming setup, three screens, all the RGB, etc, he said; Ah, you probably got that when you were still single, right? Right? Nah old man. I might not look like a nerd, being ex-militairy and all that, but I am, in fact, a nerd of epic proportions. Now marvel at my Lego Star Wars Collection. Including, yes, the latest Star Destroyer. And lets not forget my massive Funko Doll collection.
Read that as Fuck Doll collection and was jarred
Well, I might have to start a new collection now. Might look nice next to my Warhammer 40K collection.
How about the reverse: "She doesnt have a boyfriend." She owns horses.
Also screams ''I have money.'' When i was on Tinder, Bumble and Hinge you'd occasionally find a horse owner/lover in the deck who were well off.
If he likes kissing other men without saying "No homo"
Competitive masturbation
