Animal Willy's

[Idontknow23]

I will probably be outed as not many people would have such silly and annoying thoughts. I've always been a particular person and felt weird about eggs being periods or fetus and milk coming out of udders etc I've always been surprised that I'm not fussier with meat but put the thought out my mind and rudely rolled my eyes at vegans etc then just over a week ago i had this realisation that the animals we eat once walked round with willy's and that's it I've stopped eating meat it's completely put me off! Of course animals have willy's and I know we don't eat them but the thought of their slimey willy's has just put me completely off!! I want to want meat!! On holiday the meat is amazing I can't make the most of the 50% restaurant offers because who wants to go for a salad?! It's so restricting now!! I'm not pregnant. Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm feeling weird about milk in cheese etc but I've got to eat something else ill be surviving on thin air!! I don't like vegetables apart from peas so I'm getting limited on food, I've brought lentils etc. Has anyone had this before? I know I sound ridiculous but why have i gone off meat??!!! It's sad I used to love chicken and the thought if the taste I like but I feel like the social side of holidays, eating dinner at night and enjoying all food has been taken away because I don't want to pick the veggie option I don't even like veggies!!

It’s a little odd. Also the vast majority of the animals we eat didn’t have willies as you’re eating the female of the species. That’s true for beef, chicken, pork...

Meat production is damaging to the environment. Go veggie, just keep thinking of the willies

If it's any help, chickens don't actually have external genitalia.

We should highlight to pro vegetarian /vegan groups that talking about animal willies will encourage converts to the cause.

Could you convince yourself that your steak came from a female?

Probably best to avoid sausages which may actually include willies?!

Oh that's interesting about females thankyou! Usually I would block out thoughts as I'm sure we all do and don't think about what really happens with meat, as ignorant as that may sound but I've just felt really raw to the thoughts and just think of animals sitting in the freezer etc. I also read that 1 burger can have upto 1000 cows in it!!!! What the hell that is gross! Making chicken tonight for the family even though that makes me feel funny just handling it and I can't even eat it even though I loved this dinner the other week

Nobody tell her about bully sticks for dogs

For beef and lamb, we are generally eating the males in fact.
Females are kept for rearing the future generations, and males muscle up better.
OP you do need to make sure you are getting a balanced healthy diet - that doesn't have to include animal products, but it DOES generally have to involve vegetables.
Have you ever had disordered eating?

That post gave me the willies.

OP, not wanting to eat meat / consume milk products on its own is fine and can be a much healthier / more sustainable way of life.

However the black and white thinking and rigidity of your likes and dislikes suggests you may have sensory issues or anxiety. The sudden intrusion of the idea of animal willies on your liking of meat is also slightly concerning. Is this the only area of your life where violent or sudden dislikes have interfered with what you would like to be doing?

@PermaStress oh thank god I'm not a dog haha

ihaventgottimeforthis I've never had a disorder but I've just been weird since being a kid haha I know it's annoying for people to read, I'm not an anxious person I don't worry about germs etc but all this covid cleansing rules are nothing new to me, I've never shared drinks even with family, I don't like touching wet door handles, won't use appliances in a hotel room haha I promise I'm not as fussy as I sound or snobby or stuck up, my house is normal I don't have cleaning rituals but I've been living off bloody nachos all week mad pasta! Hopefully I will put it all out my mind one day because i want to eat meat it's just so random!

I was shocked when told that ducks (very aggressive when mating) have corkscrew willies!!

@circleofwillis yes that's exactly it, just back and white thoughts! Described perfectly. I don't have anxiety as in all the time, I get normal worries about my children but yes it could be a sensory thing! I'm a very aware person in general which is not always a good thing

@fairislecable hahaha that made me laugh! Thank god I have never liked eating ducks, i just think of dirty rivers, see what's wrong with me haha so odd!!!

It's not the sadness of the animal killing which I know is not nice I'm not even an animal lover I'm just feeling bleurgh about the stuff you wouldn't usually try to think of

I couldn't get worked up about it when I put a person's willy in my mouth every now and then. Granted I don't chew on it 😂

My MIL had a similar thing - no focus on willies, but she went off meat completely after a lifetime of happily eating it. She’s now a vegetarian.

It’s worth exploring veggie / vegan options in more detail. The options are endless - vegetable sure, but also nuts, pulses, legumes, bread, pasta, potatoes, tofu, seitan etc. If animal products are grossing you out it’s the perfect time to experiment!

I would really recommend the ‘Bosh’ cookbooks for great recipes which are easy and accessible and delicious. That might get you started.

@CircleofWillis why are you so fast to jump to that conclusion?

Here have some spares:

This is certainly an... interesting take. Would it help to source more ethically raised meat etc that you can trace back to the (female) source?

If you do want to continue to cut down on meat/dairy etc and need some ideas for food there’s an “accidentally vegan” page on PETA’s website which has a lot of “normal” foods which don’t contain animal products - if you’re a fussy eater that may give you some ideas to start from?

Vegan/Vegetarian doesn’t always equal just a plate full of veggies, however when you say you “don’t like” veg, what have you tried? I used to “hate veg” but realised I just hated boiled-to-death mushy veg (sorry mum) and i experimented and found out what my likes/dislikes actually were.

Instead of worrying about what you don't want to eat OP, try thinking about what you do like and make it as varied as you can. There are vegetarian substitutes for all sorts of things, but that can all be a bit processed. Better to try out different rice and lentil recipes, cook veg in new ways, and see what you can enjoy.

You may have an issue with intrusive thoughts- just bear it in mind and consider seeing the GP. Some of your aversions may have an underlying cause.

The plural of willy is willies.

A possessive would be “the willy’s foreskin”, meaning the foreskin belonging to the willy.

A contraction would by “my willy’s enormous”, meaning my willy is enormous.

Wtaf? Do animals a favour and stop eating their flesh,testicles and all.

You like peas? A pea is a seed - part of which is known as the "embryo" - the young root and shoot that will become the adult plant.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Funnily enough, I was reading an article recently about the most common reasons for going vegetarian and actually “Because I can’t stop thinking about animals’ slimy willies” came in at number three.

@Sportsnight

It’s a little odd. Also the vast majority of the animals we eat didn’t have willies as you’re eating the female of the species. That’s true for beef, chicken, pork...

That is simply not true.

Most are males because the numbers needed to be retained for breeding herds are so much lower.
