It's a helpful assistant, not a therapist

[–] shath@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's certainly cheaper and more available than a therapist so thats what people will use it for

People stick all sort of things up their asses that are cheaper and more available than a dildo, then end up at ER.

does that mean people stop doing it?

No. But there's no pressure (that I've heard of) that farmers change the shape of cucumbers so they don't slide in that easily.

How is a dildo expensive?

It's really not helpful unless you filter the results carefully.

If you fail to understand when it bullshits you, which is most is the time (literally), then you walk away with misinformation and/or a much larger problem than you initially sought to solve.
