Nobody cares about your crap tattoos, Charlie

Your mom thought they were hot.

damn. got me there.

how ever will i recover from such an insult

I have a plan to get some, but I'll wait a few years to ensure I don't grow and stretch them after having them done, and to make sure I'll still want them in a few years and not just have it as a passing thing. There's this masking cream you can get to hide them for Job Interviews and whatnot too.

if you went to a psychologist and told them you didn't believe in self satisfaction they would say that you were the unhealthy one

it's not that i don't believe in self-satisfaction

i just don't believe in this notion that people can do things solely for their own satisfaction

Isn't that why lonely people masturbate

Okay if its just a few, once it gets to the point you have whole body parts covered, its just like why.

How does that help with social interaction?

you're not thinking about sex anymore because you just had a wank

to relieve sexual tension to make social interaction easier

I don't see how those two have to be mutually exclusive.

I don't see how those two have to be mutually exclusive.

they don't--the thing about masturbation, too, is that it's, of course, a sexual activity
and the key thing about masturbation is that you're fantasizing about giving someone or something sexual pleasure

so it's not a purely selfish activity

there are no selfless deeds, but there are no 100% selfish deeds, either

I rarely ever am fantasizing about giving someone else pleasure when I masturbate, I typically just do it for some relieve, but thats just me.

and what happens when you're not relieved

makes it difficult for you to get work done?
and interact with other human beings?

i'm not saying it's always a conscious thing--in fact, most of the time, it's subconscious

But when I'm fantasizing about uh... Chinese crossdressers with british accents... I'm really only caring about myself.

are you sure

And any image that is that significant is trivialized when you wear it like that.

how

it feels like the equivalent of toddlers drawing on themselves with markers to me

as someone who often reminds himself to learn by writing equations, facts, etc. on himself

i take offense to this

also would it be trivializing for me to emblazon my avatar somewhere on myself? as far as i know it hasn't been used by anyone other than me, and has been my avatar for years. in some ways it represents these times. it is unnecessary, of course, to have some sort of physical emblem associated with these memories, but does making this figure physical really reduce its value?

It's not so much the idea of tattoos are tacky, but the implementation usually is. A basic shoulder or side tat, looks really bad imo but tribal tats on mma fighters look cool. Also tattoos don't look good on people who are out of shape.

Nothing looks good on fat people, tbh.

Nothing, I can still go about my day as usual, I only relieve myself when I get horny and sometimes not even then because I'm busy doing other things. I can't speak for others, but its hardly an intrusive feeling, and one I can easily ignore if need be.
