    You can do nothing wrong and still be disliked by someone.

      Or as Daddy Picard said: “You can do everything right and still lose. It is what it is.”

      Real quote:

      “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”

        Look, I don’t know what you have against fruitarians, but I don’t appreciate kink shaming like that ;)

    You have to work out to be good at sex.

      Not true, you just have to know how to move to keep the momentum good, stamina is more important than working out, also foreplay also does a lot

        Are you another dad overhearing my conversation with my offspring and interjecting with this observation?

        Are you pantomiming when you say stamina?

        What are your hand gestures when you stay foreplay?

        Do you think stamina and coordination grow on trees?

          There’s a difference between just working out and building stamina

            There are many workout regimens. How do you build stamina without doing anything that would be considered working out? Jogging is working out.

              I think it’s an important distinction to be made though

                What distinction? No one mentioned strength training, they just said working out. You don’t build stamina without working out. What distinction are you talking about?

                  When most people think working out, they think lifting weights, so I think the distinction of stamina training should be mentioned

      Buy a waterbed. One thrust, and the swells take care of the rest.

    Your problem is you’re in love. You’re too young to be in love. There’s too many putas out there.

    This is a common saying, but I heard it from my Dad first:

    Never cheap out on things that separate your backside from the ground.

    He was specifically talking about tires and brakes on a car, but it’s good advice all the way around.
