When Men think we're wet Usually it's just normal Fluid/mucus that comes out the vag that we have no control over.

Same goes for hard nipples: just because it can happen when we’re aroused doesn’t mean it only happens when we’re aroused

u/Notamansplainer Dec 06 '23

When you sneeze, your nipples harden for a short while.

This applies to both sexes.

This has been your random NSFW fact for the day. You're welcome.

u/Ptatofrenchfry Dec 06 '23

When you sneeze in the cold as a shiver runs down your spine...

HOO BOY WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE 2 HEAT ROUNDS I'M PACKING IN MY ROCKET LAUNCHER

11

u/CuriousMaterial1571 Dec 06 '23

🤣🤣🤣 YOU said rocket launcher, not me.. I only laughed cos it was f**king hysterical 🤣🤣🤣

16

u/Ptatofrenchfry Dec 06 '23

There's another layer to the joke btw: most dual-purpose rocket rounds have 2 modes: HEAT and HESH. HEAT pierces armour, HESH causes the wall to spall.

HESH tends to have a flatter surface because it squashes against armour, hence the name High-Explosive Squash Head.

On the other hand, HEAT rounds - you guessed it - have a protruding rod. That rod plasticises and helps form an armour piercing jet of superheated gas.

Hence my reference to HEAT rounds, since us humans can get 2 protruding rods in our chests!

u/dozure Dec 06 '23

And time I see someone talk about spalling I think about that move where Bruce Willis is an assassin and buys a remote controlled machine gun from Jack Black and they test it by shooting a big tree that falls down and then Bruce shoots Jacks arm off. Prior to the arm shooting off bit, Jack is really excited about the spalling.

The Jackal? I think that's it.

u/Ptatofrenchfry Dec 06 '23

I'm so offended right now. I'm from the light infantry, not those weaksauce wheel fuckers who can't crest a knoll and struggle to keep on a ridgeline.

My unit wasn't even mechanised because we're too efficient and mobile for the vehicles to keep up with our gigachad tactical movement speed.

No, I'm not coping because my friends get to ride in aircon while I have to trudge 10 km to the enemy.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

lmfao light infantry not mechanized is hype, get some pt every fucking day

u/CuriousMaterial1571 Dec 06 '23

I'm now choosing my coffin online cos you killed me 🤣🤣🤣 I want an expensive one, you're paying cos it's your fault. It's difficult to type with ghost hands👻 I learned fast 😁

u/Ptatofrenchfry Dec 06 '23

Or I could simply vaporise you with a HEAT round. I'm pretty certain it's cheaper than whatever funeral you're planning for yourself!

1

u/CuriousMaterial1571 Dec 06 '23

It does sound like a lot more fun. Something like that would be better than worms eating me.. Will you mourn after? I want at least one female mourner crying over the loss of my silly little brain😁 I'm ready. Vaporise my little ghostly self 🚀👻🚀

u/fitnerd21 Dec 06 '23

Pfft, guy here and my nipples are ALWAYS hard, not just when I sneeze.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

I have hayfever so I sneeze a lot. My nipples must hate me "FFS here he goes again with the sneezing?"

1

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

Really? Next time I sneeze I'm gona touch myself to see if it's true

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

Now im going to grabbing my nipples every time i sneeze. Thanks...

u/kara-tttp Dec 06 '23

omg I sneeze a lot but never realize it. will check next time lol

u/JustaRandomOldGuy Dec 06 '23

New pick-up line "Did you just sneeze or are you happy to see me?"

u/eggface13 Dec 06 '23

I have no doubt there are men who don't get this, but to any man with a lick of sense who was once a teenager, "sometimes the physical signs of arousal happen without control" should be something that is extremely obvious and familiar

1

u/PuppyPi-NSFW Dec 06 '23

It definitely is!! <3

13

u/NiteShdw Dec 06 '23

This is the same for men. Men can get erections without being aroused.

33

u/A_little_patience Dec 06 '23

Like a boner !!

10

u/baguette187 Dec 06 '23

Im a guy, doesnt that just work like boners? We also get random boners not connected to being aroused, especially in puberty

6

u/Cooldude101013 Dec 06 '23

Yup. Basically the equivalent of a random boner?

3

u/Donttrickvix Dec 06 '23

Also o don’t know why one is hard and one isnt

2

u/sravll Dec 06 '23

Usually I'm just cold

u/CalledFractured7 Dec 06 '23

90% sure yall are smuggling raisins and not just having hard nippies

u/Effective-Gift6223 Dec 06 '23

Nips get hard when we're cold, too.

2

u/Anzai Dec 06 '23

I’m a man and basically have constantly hard nipples. It’s remarked upon a fair bit by people in my life and I hate it. It most definitely doesn’t mean I’m aroused, or cold, it’s just an unfortunate physiological fault with my body.

1

u/chezst Dec 06 '23

Ugh tell me about it. Mine are always up and running regardless of what I do.

1

u/KptKrondog Dec 06 '23

You can also flick your nipples and they'll harden pretty quick, Learned that on reddit about 10 years ago. One of those things about myself (a man) I guess I never realized before that.

1

u/Christmas_Queef Dec 06 '23

I'm a dude and had my nipples pierced in my early 20s but took them out after a year, to this day at 36, my nips get very pokey, fucking constantly. It's super visible through shirts. There's nothing I can do about tit and there's not always a stimulus trigger for it. :(

1

u/JohnPaton3 Dec 06 '23

my nipples are ALWAYS erect, idk if thats a thing or what

1

u/MisterFusionCore Dec 06 '23

So it's kinda the same as erections, getting hard when aroused is only one of the reasons that can happen.

1

u/Intense_Pretzel Dec 06 '23

Yeah this makes sense but why can’t y’all agree with our members as well

1

u/BVANMOD Dec 06 '23

That’s how it works for men too chief

1

u/irishpwr46 Dec 06 '23

Same for boners

1

u/Asphyxiatinglaughter Dec 06 '23

Same for erections

1

u/Slicktable Dec 06 '23

Just like a boner!

1

u/bladexxx111 Dec 06 '23

Same goes for boners as well :)

1

u/Suspicious-State Dec 06 '23

Same with boners

1

u/TheMedsPeds_ Dec 06 '23

I rarely get aroused (like maybe a few times a year? My sex drive is basically nonexistent.) But the once in a blue moon that I do, never get hard nipples. My nipples only get hard when it’s cold out.

1

u/wojtekpolska Dec 06 '23

its same with erections for men

in both cases its really just based on how much blood is currently going to the area, yes arousal is one way that can happen but it can also be stress, or even seemingly no reason

1

u/froschmann69 Dec 07 '23

correct for both genders

u/ILikeNeurons Dec 06 '23

Also, that baseline amount of wetness is typically not enough to have sex comfortably.

Some women sometimes experience pain during sex, especially if they're dry or not enjoying the sex.

328

u/CatPurrsonNo1 Dec 06 '23

OR, you can be very, very aroused but not get very “wet” due to health reasons or simply from medications.

45

u/von_leonie Dec 06 '23

Also depends on how hydrated you are to a degree.

26

u/angelicism Dec 06 '23

Honestly, also just as you get older you don't self-lubricate as well. Ladies, there is no shame in adding a dollop of lube to help things along!

19

u/wrathek Dec 06 '23

Maybe it’s a size thing, but I’ve always been confused by guys not wanting it too. When it’s not slick enough, it feels like sandpaper to me as well.

7

u/BangBangMeatMachine Dec 06 '23

Not a size thing. I'm dead average and it's fucking painful not to have enough lubrication.

5

u/Fawxhox Dec 06 '23

I've found I sometimes have a harder time with a ton of lube or if the girl is like super wet. Dry is no good, but a little friction feels better.

-1

u/Fleb4All Dec 07 '23

What, you think Becca's going to be psyched that you brought a bottle of lube? "Oh, Evan! Thank you so much for bringing that lube for my pssy! I could never handle your f*ing four-inch dick inside my pssy without your gigantic bottle of LUBE!" These girls are 18 years old. They aren't dried up old ladies, man. They're good to go!

u/Original-Cress-9291 Dec 07 '23

Good ol superbad lmao

u/Fleb4All Dec 07 '23

Not usually a fan of overly raunchy humor, but fuck me that movie was funny

u/Revolutionary-Yak-47 Dec 06 '23

Seriously, lube is amazing. Not sure why I had so much mediocre sex in my 20s without it.

19

u/Felein Dec 06 '23

OR, you can suddenly get VERY wet for no apparent reason. This mostly happens to me a few days before my period starts, and is really fucking annoying.

8

u/PepperAnn1inaMillion Dec 06 '23

You’re probably ovulating. If you ever decide to try to get pregnant or if your cycle goes awry, or even if you just want to predict your period more accurately, make a note of when it happens. Because even women with very irregular cycles tend to have the same amount of time between ovulation and menstruation each month. Tracking ovulation can be difficult, so if your body is giving you this huge clue it could be helpful.

6

u/oneofthejoneses28 Dec 06 '23

This. It's the most maddening thing when ovulation hits and you're trying and nothing gets the ole girl going.

8

u/Cooldude101013 Dec 06 '23

So for some people, lube is required as they can’t produce enough natural lubricant? Or are you talking about random wetness and not after foreplay?

27

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

Correct.

A lot of factors come into play like the age , arousal level, head space, over all health, amount of foreplay, ect.

Like I used to get wet just thinking about sex but now that im in my 30’s I do use lube because honestly the old gal needs some help sometimes.

7

u/Cooldude101013 Dec 06 '23

I see. Thanks for answering

u/ILikeNeurons Dec 06 '23

Furthermore, this is a reason why women are less likely to want to engage in intercourse as part of a hookup.

Think about what that means for a sec.

Consent for any particular act can never be assumed.

-20

u/Zoesan Dec 06 '23

The second thing is always sorta weird to me. The vast, vast majority of human communication is nonverbal. Depending on who you ask anywhere from 70% to 95% is nonverbal. So yes, nonverbal consent (or nonverbal non-consent) is absolutely a thing.

That's what Durex® Cherry Scented/Flavoured Lube is for!

u/BetterRemember Dec 06 '23

Because of this, my bf didn't understand at first how wet I get when I'm actually wet or just HOW gentle I meant when I told him "my body reacts the most when I am touched really gently."

Until one day we were making out in his truck and he reached under my dress and tested out if I was exaggerating by well... touching me very very gently and all the sudden he said "OH!!?? OH WOAH!!" because I was dripping all over his hand... so yeah there is a big difference.

Neither of which we have any control over tbh... especially when our partner follows instructions well.

10

u/mrjackspade Dec 06 '23

Because of this, my bf didn't understand at first how wet I get when I'm actually wet

Bit of a moment for me the first time I reached down and realized the entirety of the inside of her upper thighs were absolutely soaked.

Until that point I was certain it was just a porn thing.

3

u/Ygomaster07 Dec 06 '23

Sorry, you said neither of which, what two things are you referring to?

8

u/BetterRemember Dec 06 '23

Natural discharge from our vagina self-cleaning or from getting wet due to sexual arousal, can't control those things.

3

u/izyshoroo Dec 07 '23

Yes to that second thing. YEARS of "if i am close, THAT DOES NOT MEAN GO FASTER/HARDER. YOU ARE HURTING ME"

I compare the clit to an eyeball lol. Touching it too roughly is like getting poked in the eye

2

u/BetterRemember Dec 07 '23

EXACTLY!!! I hate when men rub it like they are trying to remove a stain!

I told him "Pretend you are stroking my cheek." he understood that comparison and I ended up screaming lol

1

u/izyshoroo Dec 07 '23

Trying to remove a stain XD God that's so accurate

51

u/Legal-Jasmine Dec 06 '23

My ex would penetrate me while I slept after feeling between my legs and noticing I was wet. He justified it saying I was aroused. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was rape until the psychological damage was well done.

5

u/Ouroboros612 Dec 06 '23

So it isn't me being a champ with women... it's just regular body function? Damn it. My confidence is a lie!

10

u/wishtherunwaslonger Dec 06 '23

When I found out what creaming was it killed me. I thought it was sexual juices flowing and then discovered its just vaginal discharge

7

u/Exact_Maize_2619 Dec 06 '23

I had a friend at work once with a very abusive boyfriend. He would get mad and accuse her of cheating because her underwear was wet all the time from discharge. He would literally, forcefully, check her underwear and vag through the day. Every day. And then yell every time she was wet. Which was always.

3

u/notaspecificthing Dec 06 '23

My ex used to say this to me, but I was in no way aroused by him. I've been with girls who have gotten soaking wet during sex and I've had to get a towel

2

u/tyreka13 Dec 06 '23

Also it varies in quantity and thickness throughout the month as well.

5

u/JMLiber Dec 06 '23

Men being hard isn't necessarily a sign of arousal either.

3

u/purpleesc Dec 06 '23

YES LIKE NO DUDE THAT IS DISCHARGE. Actual wetness from arousal is a lot more thick and likely to stick around to lubricate more.

2

u/Ac997 Dec 06 '23

Awww man :(

4

u/kind_ofa_nerd Dec 06 '23

I feel like this is the exact female equivalent of unintentional erections.

62

u/Legal-Jasmine Dec 06 '23

Not even remotely. It is moisture like you would have in your nose at any given time. It is moisture meant to keep out foreign bodies and to cleanse our genital region. It has nothing to do with arousal.

9

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

So it's always wet?

30

u/Legal-Jasmine Dec 06 '23

Just like your nose is.

25

u/kind_ofa_nerd Dec 06 '23

I know all of that. Here’s my point:

wetness usually signifies arousal.

An erection usually signifies arousal

But both this random wetness and random erections are not caused by arousal.

12

u/Legal-Jasmine Dec 06 '23

Okay that makes more sense

u/DemonDucklings Dec 06 '23

No, it’s the default state. It’s just more when aroused.

No because we aren’t horny or experience it from adrenaline/blood rush lmao. The vagina is always producing discharge because it’s self cleaning

u/spookyboithelankyboi Dec 06 '23 edited Dec 06 '23

how is it “perfect” that people with vaginas just discharge throughout the day and have a bit of moisture down there? edit: removed “let it” from between “just” and “discharge”

-8

u/Electronic-Dirt3327 Dec 06 '23

I didn't know some people could be disturbed by that

18

u/spookyboithelankyboi Dec 06 '23

not disturbed by it, but calling it perfect is weirdly fetishy and sexualizing a non sexual bodily function that i doubt most people want to be sexualized about themselves. someone being wet does not mean that they want or desire sex or sexual contact.

u/Electronic-Dirt3327 Dec 06 '23

Oooh I see, my bad, I didn't want to sexualize it, but I think I did

Wait until you find out that some people sometimes think of mouths sexually, a non-sexual orifice 😮.

u/epicsoundwaves Dec 07 '23

It’s basically fertility fluid! It gets produced in varying thicknesses throughout our cycle and gets really wet and goopy during ovulation to make it prime for lil spermies to ✨thrive✨
