Farted. Disgusting habit.

Its not a habit. Its a bodily function some people are afflicted with 😆

Laughing at ‘taken heroin’ and ‘swimming with sharks’, not sure they are seen as things ‘everyone’ has done.

I’ve done 99% of the things people have named. However, haven’t had kids, and I don’t drive.

Had grandchildren
Eaten shellfish or crustaceans
Travelled outside of Europe

There are plenty of things I’ve never done that barely anyone has realistically done e.g bungee jumping, skydiving, paragliding etc but I have no desire to either.
More common things… I’ve never taken drugs or broken a bone as some others have said, unless toes count because I’ve broken my toe a couple of times but lots of us do this without realising it’s broken.

I’ve never had an orgasm. How sad is that?

Do you mean as a result of penetration (neither have I)? Or at all???
