It's true. Badminton players will never ever get laid.

Want to play badminton? I brought a shuttlecock

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd hit that.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

The guy who wants to play badminton? Yeah. Everybody would hit them.

Why are you fighting sexual temptation?

Stop fighting it and give already. Sexual temptation is awesome.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was going to make a tease and denial joke, but the humor came from making very weird sexual kinks seem normal, and going into graphic detail.

The more I added to that joke, the less funny it became, and sounded more like I was heavily advocating for bondage, chastity, tickling, and nuns.

Then the whole joke just got weird. Look man, I know I Lost My Mind, but even I have limits to my crazy.

So lets all pretend I said something funny instead of......whatever this is.

OK, now you just have to post the comment

Not a good idea to tell this to teenagers without also teaching them about contraceptives and protection.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

You should teach them that stuff anyway, ideally before they are teenagers. People are going to get frisky, it's inevitable, at least they should be able to protect themselves.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Go on, then, give them the contraceptives and protection lecture

have they tried graham crackers

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

So if I want to play less Badminton and I cannot resist the urge, I ought to have more sex. 🤔

Is this why China is a regular powerhouse in badminton? So much temptation!

While on a bad mint I would also not get laid... Alright, I'll see myself out...
