You've now ruined tomorrow's roast.

Shame on you OP.

You'll just have to go to Burger King and order a Whopper.

Not that stuff from Vicks that you pour in your bathwater, that's for sure!

The husbands gets a jolly good soaping every day and he has never had thrush in the 40+ years we have been together.

Tofu trumpet for the plant based users. Let’s not discriminate here.

Thepeopleversuswork · 07/02/2026 18:19

YABU for using the phrase “beef flute”…

i personally like a bar of dove

Wait... first there was a thrush on it... now there's a dove? They're quite a bit bigger, aren't they? Need plenty to perch on...

What next? A crow? A kestrel? An owl?

Swarfega and a scrubbing brush, then once a week a long soak in Jeyes Fluid and the jobs a good 'un.

Unfortunately not, they’re stuck with a Tofu Tube, much less appealing tbh.

Yes! I was having a conversation around not using soap as it can cause thrush in women.. and a friend (male) said it’s the same for men, they should use soap and all they need it warm water! We’ve disagreed and it sparked a debate so I must ask here 🤣

Your friend is correct (assuming that's a typo, and he's saying men should not use soap).

There's a common misconception among women that a vagina is its own special thing with its own rules that somehow don't apply to male anatomy. This is not correct- there is a lot of biological similarity between the penis and vagina. Just as soap will irritate your genitals and upset the bacterial flora causing thrush, soap will also irritate the mucous membranes of the penis and upset the bacterial flora there, also causing thrush.

It's common knowledge that the sensitive head of the penis should be washed using warm water only, and I'm not sure why you thought otherwise.

I don’t think dh would be impressed if I blew across it.

Wouldn’t it be more clarinet though again the blowing down it may be an issue. Because I played flute and I’ve never treated a penis like that 🤣

If you get the angle right when you're blowing across the end it'll sound like a beer bottle.

TeenyWeenyPolkaDotPeeny · 07/02/2026 18:26

I give DH a good dettol rinse every night

Beef flute? I mean I’ve vaguely heard of Pink Piccolo and Pork Sword ..

Or you could just strum the banjo string.

Do you mean their penis?

What else would beef flute refer to?

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 07/02/2026 18:27

For God's sake, why would I read this after three strong Belgian beers? To be fair to op, she laid it all out in her title - why don't I learn?

As an aside, I played the flute to a high standard as a young woman.

No, their musical instrument formed from the meat of a cow. Right?

InterestedDad37 · 07/02/2026 18:28

Beef flute 😂😂😂
And yes, everything should be spotless 🙂

BLURGH.

Does that mean vegetarians and vegans can't play it ?

I've often wondered if vegans swallow it.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me ?

ArtfulOrca · 07/02/2026 18:31

@TeenyWeenyPolkaDotPeeny
I'm wondering what country or UK area you're from, never heard it called that before.
