    On one hand I’d really like to receive something like this but the part where someone photographs you and uploads it for clout is really offputting.

      I don’t think it’s for clout. I think it’s to show other people how nice life can be. Sometimes we need a reminder to appreciate the people we love.

        Fair enough. I think for me it just seems too intimate to be a “let’s show other people” focused moment, but everyone’s different.

      If you don’t like stuff like that, you maybe shouldn’t visit this community, lots of wholesome stuff is like that.

        Thanks @RootBeerGuy but I’m all good.

        I like this community a lot, and this is the first time I’ve ever been disconcerted after clicking.

        I don’t think “if you don’t like it, then get out” is a very wholesome sentiment

        Something tells me you shouldn’t be the gatekeeper for this community

          I read it as “if you don’t like it, then a place where it’s the explicit purpose might not be for you,” which is pretty wholesome in its earnestness to me.

            Yeah, that describes it better. Thank you for writing that out, I do get it I should have elaborated but you can only write as much.

      My boyfriend wrote me a birthday poem once but it was about dick cheese. Then he gave me a jar of fake dick cheese. We’re coming up on our 8 years. You’ll meet someone with low enough expectations one day.

          The gift itself was just a jar with a label he made that said “(my name)'s dick cheese”. Then he put some white food substance in there I don’t recall exactly what it was but didn’t look like real dick cheese thankfully.

          If you’re asking me what actual smegma is though… I won’t ruin it for you, but I’ll say a jar of parmesan would’ve been more accurate.
