i don't know but i bet it's a little funny but mostly just sad and unpleasant to witness

if ILX ever buys a racehorse it has to be called Noble Boner

"this girl, she was like, smokin' hot. like you wouldn't believe how hot. i was like, woah." xps

though seeing other people fetishize being children inspires me to not do that. xp

did you notice that they all work in real estate

in florida

maybe my wish of poverty upon them will come true

SUVIVAL TAMPON

Do me a favor for the next five minutes. Try to forget everything you know about tampons. I know, it’s hard. But pretend that this is the first time you have ever seen or heard of the item below, and it is a new survival product on the market: the Tactical Adventure Medical Preparedness Outdoors Necessity (T.A.M.P.O.N.).

The tampon is actually regulated in the US by the Food & Drug Administration as a Class II Medical Device. The word “tampon” is a derivative of the French word tapon which means “a little plug or stopper.” My research indicates that tampons were used as early as the 19th century as battle dressings to plug bullet holes. There are even accounts of tampons being used as wound plugs in modern warfare. A friend of mine told me that it’s not uncommon for Army Medics to carry tampons in their med kits. They are also the perfect product for a bloody nose. There seem to be mixed accounts of whether the tampon was used as a feminine product before or after its use on the battlefield.

Yes, but IIRC, people use menstrual pads much more often for first-aid purposes.

if you scraped it then you better put a pad on it

guys think about all the cool manly stuff you can do with a tampon but DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY DESIGNED FOR, NO DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT, HAHA SO GROSS, RIGHT?

I had to look twice at blow dart fletching, misread it as felching and was all say what now

that's in the uncut Raiders of the Lost Ark

A Gentleman always has a tampon at hand, just in case.

you can use a tampon to draw the vermouth out of your martini iirc

a gentleman could use one to dab the sweat off his brow

That post is a pretty kooky but it doesn't fit w/ the rest of the terrible shit that this thread is about. It's interesting and it doesn't seem "Ewwwwww! Lady products & periods, gross!!!" to me.

reads to me as "I'm so comfortable with my masculinity that I'll use a tampon and carry it around in case of emergencies"

tbf it's a comfort to carry around at least one thing that will eventually go in a vagina

need to remember the box of tampons in my cabinet for my next nosebleed

real men have regular nosebleeds

If I went camping or lived a life w/ lots of blood-stanching and water-filtering emergencies, I would probably carry a couple of tampons in my first aid kit.

yeah jesse, it's not quite in line with everything else itt but it's got the overreaching macguyver-survivor masculinity thing going for it

That's true. I have a bit of a weakness for that kind of thing, I suppose. Though really I'd be more interested in a piece about uses for a tampon for home maintenance and crafting.

elmo is making me feel defensively tampon-core

not a better person

a better man

(there's a difference)

does dos equis' ad campaign fit in this thread?

maybe that's more the "marketing of masculinity" thread, i guess

hints of good advice ("read") made completely unpalatable ("The answers to most questions lie within the written word").

hoo boy

READ: The answers to most questions lie within the written word; but be sure to read both sides of the story. Don’t only pick up and read the books that will impress people when they look at your bookshelf, but be sure to read about contrary opinions to truly find answers. Although it may take you out of your comfort zone, the only risks are either strengthening your current opinions or gaining a new perspective.

or: read because you like to read books? because reading is enriching and entertaining? and because you have interests other than your own manliness and having opinions about stuff?

whatever, man, you haven't read BOTH sides of the story. come back to me when when you're ready to TRULY find answers.

or because you want to learn about 50 shades

A gentleman needs to own a well-made umbrella.

he does fucking NOT and you can't convince me he does.

Pfft, how are you supposed to thrash ingrates in the street without a decent umbrella? Are you going to ruin a perfectly good walking stick?
