If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

"Wanking wasn't enough? You've no hands?!" was my first thought, bringing back some Reddit core memories, lol.
Ofc it's weird AF. Promoting hedonism and oversexualization is weird and immoral in general, but your own mom doing that to you sounds traumatic too... Sorry, OP. This is the kind of stuff you either take to the grave or share only when you find an extremely understanding lady. :/
And purely out of curiosity, where are you from?
Everyone knows masturbation is hedonistic and immoral!
And purely out of curiosity, what religion does your username imply?
Their head would explode if they saw my drawer of 1-2k USD of bad dragon dildos, vibrators, clit suckers, masturbators, plugs, beads, and more…
😱 Is this just for fun or are you a professional? 2k on sex toys... Maybe I'm just too poor to get it but that's a bit too much for ANY kind of toy collection, lol.
That’s just for myself and my partner hahaha. We don’t do any sort of work or share or anything. We just like to try new things.
Well, I guess anal beads are cheaper than a trip to Bali, lol. Enjoy yourselves. 👍
I didn't say masturbation, in the traditional sense, was something so outrageous and immoral ("wanking wasn't enough?!", as I said, but you need to fight windmills to make any sort of valid point here, ofc). I understand the urges of the flesh because I too am a person (a healthily horny man at that!), but fleshlights are definitely too much. It's advanced gooning. Your mom promoting it and buying you sex toys is weird AF and concerning (what's next, she's gonna pay for your OF subscriptions? Pay for your first hooker threesome? 🤔), and the fact I even have to spell it out is, well, I'd like to say surprising and disappointing but it isn't, not really. I know who I'm talking to here, after all.
And Muslim non-sectarian!
The only time a fleshlight is too much is on a public bus.
At home you can jerk off with anything you’d like as long as it’s consenting and not underage.
Did you mean "the only time it's illegal"? Cause, sure, I guess. But this is my opinion, and I think it's too much. I bet there are things that feel like "too much" for you too!
No I said what I meant if you need clarification read my comment again.
Enjoy the fleshlight and don't let my opinion disturb you. You've chosen your path, and I have chosen mine.
I got one modelled after my mother’s vagina and while enjoyable it doesn’t come close to the real thing.
