Errant Belle's Topics (548)

I actually read that some Dutch researchers had found out that for women the chance of getting an orgasm increased quite a bit if her feet were warm. 50% of women had an orgasm without socks on and 80% of the women had an orgasm with socks on. The researchers said that the heat from the socks calmed down areas of the brain so they became relaxed.

Wow, interesting!

Next sexy session, must wear socks! Noted!

If the sex is good, her feet are already hot, sweaty, and her toes are curling into the sheets as her back arches off the bed. If she needs socks, someone is doing it wrong.

When you're married and have been together for seven years and have young children draining all your energy, your feet don't heat up and sweat within the first five seconds of sexy times like they used to. Just for the record.

Ha! I love that dose of reality.
I'm not married, but a friend who is once told me,
"Honestly, it's so hard to care about sex anymore, so it's just easier if we remove as little clothing as possible"
She was explaining how she doesn't even bother to take her PJs off for sex anymore because it's too much of a hassle.

I have a bad blood circulation in my feet and can't even sleep well without socks on. So this sock thingy-ma-doodle might come in handy the next time
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

i dont sleep with socks on and id rather them b off so while he thrusting in me i can get a foot mass. too best feeling ever and iv been mired for 9 yrs now and i still get hot with sex and if its to much to take your pjs off sleep naked

Omg. There's fuckin science involved in this

yep

Question is: What type of bar soap?
Here are your options:


A) Dove
B) Olay
C) Irish Spring
D) Dial
E) Ivory
F) Caress
G) Burt's Bees

Looks like Dial, but it would be funnier if it was Caress.

Or people could learn to control their own emotions and not have other people coddle them to compensate for it.

Some people could be victims of sexual violence themselves and seeing sexual violence in a manga can be triggering, you abominable twat.

That doesn't make sense either. Actually being triggered is serious psychological discomfort by a stimulus, usually caused by some kind of past trauma. For example, when someone with PTSD from a war gets flashbacks after hearing gunshots. Just being offended by something is not the same as being triggered, and people should not use the word that way.
Being easily offended to something is response to immaturity. You want other people to account for you not controlling your own emotions? Sure someone may be a victim of sexual violence, and it would be a tragedy for anyone to experience something such as that. But the world does not deserve to be covered with pillows.
Toss around "trigger" so much it looses its meaning. I’m kinda concerned that the phrasing of “triggered,” a relatively newly-recognized phenomenon, is jumping past its intended usage. “Triggered” is becoming the new “codependent,” in that it’s a word that’s getting overused and used to mean something other than the original meaning, and therefore starts to mean nothing.
This website is infamous for Yaoi and smut manga, it's not a "safe space" don't be an asshole reverberating opinions that you didn't make yourself.

Definitely not getting into this debate. For future reference though, you can check the tags.

The tags on this site are random, unreliable, and hard to find.
That's why I think the warning needs to be more prominently featured.
Most manga sites make a point of clearly labeling stories that contain: rape/sexual violence, child molestation (shota or lolli), bestiality, necrophilia, etc...
It just seems like a small thing the site could do to protect readers from content the find offensive or personally triggering.
I mean, if I had been a victim of a sexual assault, I imagine I wouldn't want to read about them and would appreciate someone making it easy for me to spot a story that contained that kind of content.

That only works if rape is in the top tags. And in this case it's not.

That's a fair request, i've seen a lot of them that DO have that warning in yellow writing too, does this one not? Weird...

I don't get why you brought this point up. You're arguing here that people are using the word "triggered" in reference to anger, right? But the post you're responding to in this message is using the word in it's original context. They said "a rape victim might see this and be triggered", in other words the rape victim might be caused psychological discomfort by the stimulus inherent in reading about a traumatic situation that they themselves have been through. They weren't saying "triggered" in place of angered, so it really seems like you just went on a tangent about the misuse of the word when they weren't misusing it.

One of the most common causes of PTSD among Americans is sexual assault.
Another common one is car accidents and obviously combat is an issue among those who have served in the military.
The sad reality is that sexual assault is far too common, which is why stories such as this could trigger someone.
Moreover, some people simply do not want to read stories that depict sexual violence.
It seems to me that adding very clear and consistent warnings about content such as: sexual violence, child molestation, necrophilia, bestiality, scatology, etc... would be a very small thing the site administrators could do to protect readers from content they either find objectionable and/or personally upsetting.

Rathen than complaining about that in here, it would be better if you go and contact the administrator of lezhin. -_- but if you don't buy any chapters from lezhin, then you don't have the rights to submit complains because duhhh not only we read this manhwa for free, you even demand this and that. What a bitch

You really are a nasty piece of work.
Exactly what is so bad in your life that you feel the need to lash out at others who, absent of your vitriol, were having a civil exchange?
Also, if you had been paying attention, my recommendation was for the site administrators to label the various mangas they post.
So if you have a problem with them posting Lezhin's work, perhaps you should take your own advice and complain to them about it.
It seems like that would be something you'd enjoy, since venting your anger at others is obviously something you enjoy.
While you're at it, maybe take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are so hellbent on inflicting you misery on others.

Hey. Hey. Stop it... Stop it.

it's in the tags and the description has a warning and you can also check the comments beforehand?? like christ there are really no surprises here. it's yaoi, you should know to check any of those 3 things beforehand if it bothers you

It's not in the top tags nor is there a warning of rape in the description. People generally do not read the comments until after reading a manga if they don't want the manga to be spoiled

What about this warning then:
"The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain sexual themes, gore, violence and/or strong language. Discretion is advised."
Literally on every summary. People should be able to be accountable for themselves. The world owes us nothing.

Oh thank you. I didn't realize the general warning for porn was the same as what OP was asking for here.

OP's post:
"Stories like this should have some sort of warning up near the title so that readers who are upset by (((((((sexual violence))))) have some advanced warning. "

Your general warning:
"The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain ((((((sexual themes, gore, violence))))) and/or strong language. Discretion is advised."

What more do you want. If that's your "general warning for porn" I don't know what you're into kid.

And that's the general warning given to all yaoi on mangago.

Thanks for the reiteration. The thesis was that OP want some kind of warning if a story has the possibility of sexual violence, and yet there already is one. If any more specificity was needed then look at the tags, those are "warning" themselves.
The antithesis is in concern of someone who might be "upset" by such genres to which others have replied that it's not the job of others to prevent someone from being upset under their own circumstances.

I don't believe they were reiterating? The anon's point in saying "And that's the general warning given to all yaoi on mangago." wasn't to confirm that the warning is put on all yaoi, it was to point out that since that warning is on all yaoi it lacks impact. They're trying to say that the OP's idea is still not being met with just that. You've pointed out the tags again, but they have already replied to that point of yours saying that the rape tag isn't in the top tags. Personally, i agree with you in that the yellow text warning is enough, i just want to make sure both parties are understanding each other.

Omg do you guys have to argue on EVERY bloody webtoon page??? As a person who loves to read comments, all these dumb pointless arguments are becoming cancerous. This community is slowly becoming annoying.

This is such an asinine argument...smh. **Yaoi** is the warning; all the cautionary warning the reader needs because it's a conspicuously adults only genre due to its mature and sexual content, but especially for its inherent depictions of rape in various contexts. It is extremely unlikely that someone will have their trauma triggered because they "accidentally" stumbled upon and read a Yaoi manga with rape. If someone is reading Yaoi is because they know what they're doing and what they're getting into.

If somebody has such serious thematic concerns because of personal aversion or trauma, then logically that person would make everything possible to confirm the nature and content of a manga before they engage with it, and that means:
1) reading the manga's tags
2) the Top Tags/ readers' tags
3) the title of readers' lists that contain the manga
4) AND the readers' comments. I would even argue that people with such aversions or traumas shouldn't even be reading Yaoi to begin with. If a person chooses not to do everything possible to know the content of the manga prior reading it, then it's on them, not on Mangago, which does a good enough job as it is of providing as much information to the reader as possible. There is a thing called personal responsibility, you know? Can't blame Mangago or other sites like it for a reader's idiocy and/or laziness.

That is incorrect. Tags on this site are not unreliable or hard to find. All the information you need can be found on the main page of the manga from top to bottom:

1) First, you check the "genre" Yaoi, shota, bara, mature, tragedy, etc.
2) You can click on "my rating" to check the Popular tags for the manga or
3) You can scroll down to the "Comments" section, which usually doesn't contain spoiler as they tend to be story summaries, which not surprisingly for this manga, has the word rape all over the place, or
4) You can look at "Top Tags" on the right-hand side, right next to "Comments" or
5) You can check "These lists have this manga" which is right above "Top Tags", or
6) If not satisfied with any of the above, you can scroll down to the "Topics" and read users' posts, which for this manga you can see are inundated with rape comments.

Now, I would agree that doing all of the above may seem tedious to the average reader, but the regular Yaoi reader knows what Yaoi means, that Yaoi is indeed all the "cautionary warning" they need, and engages the genre with the appropriate expectations; but for those readers that profess to have a strong aversion to specific mature themes such as smut, rape, incest, shota, etc. then it is incumbent upon themselves to do whatever is necessary to confirm the nature and content of the Manga before they read it; if they choose not to do something as simple as checking tags or readers' comments, even though the information is readily available, then they have no basis for complaint.

s/he's got a point here^

why does it have to be the top tags? don't be lazy. if you click any of the "read" buttons you can see all of them.

This anom talked about what and the one who replied talked about what ._.
Dear , try to read the comment calmly. I think you misunderstood what he/she said.

why did i cackle at the end-
