not sure what to title this but it's to do with ejaculation

Can you really "overshare" on a board where no one knows truly who they're speaking to? I mean, apart from the "outing yourself" element, but that's not the discussion.

The patriarchy doesn't like women talking about sex. I mean, god forbid, a large number of us might say "actually, can we stop normalising porn, because it's bloody well degrading and damaging to women?". Or, y'know, "no, we don't all secretly like it up the arse." Our conversations, as far as the patriarchy are concerned, should be restricted to how good our current partners are in bed, how shit our ex partners were in comparison, and y'know. General male ego stroking.

I mean, hell, even our reproductive rights are decided by men.

As for the "jizzing on the face" malarkey. It's a dominance thing, isn't it? I mean, us women should be kept in our places, right? Sorry, going to have to go back and re-read, see what's been covered.

I don't want to put words in your mouth widow but I'm wondering why you are querying people's attitudes and openness about sex, when we were discussing one specific act? Are you equating people's analysis of the origins of a discrete sexual practice, with a repressed attitude to sex? If so, can you explain why there is that conflation?

"it" = attitude to sex

You say you wonder whether 'it's' a cultural thing widow. What's the 'it'?

That's a different thread, WW, and an interesting one

Perhaps start a new discussion ?

Gosh , yes. Thought about this earlier, but forgot to highlight, that the OP was most adamant that there was no intent to solicitate personal anecdotes.

I know, not what we are used to under patriarchy. !!

And why didn't you? Might have been more enlightening than a bunch of strangers theorising. (And oversharing of course)

As an aside - I wonder whether it's also a wider cultural thing aside from female/male dynamics - as in, as a German, I find the overall attitude to sex in Britain weird - it's either being ridiculed or talked about in very negative terms, and overall it's all pretty taboo.

Would a feminist from the continent look at it in a different way? I've been living here longer than I've been interested in feminism, so didn't have these discussions over there really, but the general attitude to sex and talking about it seemed/seems much more open than over here.

WW I beg to differ.

We not only asked the question, but answered it.

Keep up!

I and my ilk are not against jizzing. We just reserve the right to be analytical of it.

jizz/don't jizz

I still ask the question, and I think Beachcomber did too

what might have taken people's eye off the ball < ahem > is the over-sharing of other women's bedroom antics, which is off putting at worst, and totally besides-the-point at best

are there no men on the thread ?

widow I don't think anyone professing to like this on the thread explained why just that they do and I wondered whether you had discussed this with your friends at all.

Given my earlier post about the timeline of this, I've heard nothing to persuade me that this isn't rooted in porn, but I don't think anyone's saying it's only men who propose it. I'm interested in what erotic benefit women derive from it though, or what's motivating them to suggest it first.

Well, and noone asked the question, apart from those who are opposed to jizzing. Go figure.

WW, you may have misunderstood the thread, and perhaps by doing so, misunderstood feminist principles

the OP asked if such a male-centric, jizz-worshipping practice as emptying your balls in a slimy facial is a disrespectful pastime

in a feminist space, shouldn't the question be "what do the jizzers get out of it" ?

AF - why is it "whataboutthemenz?" Haven't really seen that on the thread.

The whole thread is "whataboutthewomenswholikeit?". The OP questioned her friend why she would do it, several female posters spoke about that they do it and like it, I'm certainly not concerned with how men feel about it - as long as they do it out of their own free will and not because they've been coerced.

The only ones who have brought up the men's feelings on facejizzing, are those who are violently opposed to the practice.

AnyFucker.

You are truly incisive. As usual.

Here we are on a banal, nothing special, but could be cool, FEMINIST space and what are we talking about?

Jizz. That's what.

No wonder men rule the world and dominate finance.

ITSWIM

charbon - there's a few women on this thread who have said they like it. Why don't you ask them directly why they like it, rather than theorising about it as an outsider who doesn't like it? It's not on the list of my personal kinks, so I can't answer that question. I'm just having respect for their choices. Which don't hurt anyone.

I don't doubt that porn helped popularising it, but that doesn't mean that porn has invented it or that it is new. Or that it is only ever men who float the idea.

At no point have I said that porn is entirely without problems. It's riddled with them, and worth examining.

YF, there is nothing wrong with your articulacy

and you are not wrong, there

I think you said widow that this did nothing for you personally. In your experience and from talking to women who say they do like this, are you able to say why they do? And why do you think this has entered the sexual repertoire?

have you got your jizz helmet on, WW ?

It's a mystery to me how a feminist space could spend so much time lapping up jizz

It's a bit silly all this "jizz worship" isn't it ?

Isn't there a bit of clit-worship we could spend our time indulging in ?

Otherwise, it all looks a bit like "wot about the menz" dunnit

because the last time I looked, sex wasn't defined by the male ejaculation, or at least it wasn't given so much attention
