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 10 months ago (1 children)

I'd hit that.

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

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.

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

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 27 points 10 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.

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...
