"Research says," he said, "that 60% of people sing in the shower. The other 40% masturbate. What song did you sing this morning?" I was barely paying attention, but I started humming "Think of Me."

It took me way too long to figure out just why he looked disappointed.

And a public service announcement from the "avoid embarrassment" department, courtesy of the idiot sitting next to me. If you will have cybersex in a public place, for the love of small gods and little green apples, be the kind of person who doesn't have to sound the words out as you type. Please.

I'm way amused by imagining that.

I suppose 'clitoris' is multisyllabic. Most cybersex I've encountered has been pleasingly easy-to-read, though. Hot. Fuck. Twist. Thrust. Suck. Want.

Maybe I've been doing it wrong.

I'm just waiting for some good voice-recognition software. It sucks typing one hand...er....nevermind.

*laughs.*

he seemed pretty damned simple. I think words like "clitoris" were beyond him or something. ;) In any case, the security guard just escorted him out, so I don't get to find out more. Watch me not shed tears over this. ;)

Re: *laughs.*

Yeah, I wouldn't be disappointed.

I just don't get the cybersex concept. At least even PHONE sex has some kind of sensory interaction. Or at least you know that the other person is even the oppos-- desired sex. *shrug* Whatever turns ya on, I guess.

Erm.. I didn't sing anything in the shower this morning. Was kinda out of it, if you ask me... whether I did the other option, well... not that I can recall. There isn't another choice? ;)

but...

[kuangning]

If there were, that would ruin his joke. *grin.* Although I ruined it anyway, 'cause, well, he didn't know his target audience. I'm *always* humming or singing something. Why should the shower be an exception? ;) As for the cybersex thing... real life is a thousand times better. I experimented just enough to verify that, and then decided that it wasn't worth the time expended. ;) Even when the partner's anything but a stranger, well... it still isn't worth the time expended. *shrug.*

Separations of half a continent or more aside....yeah.

They left out the percent who do both.

*snickers* For the love of ketchup, you have to be kidding. Are you kidding?

hee...

[kuangning]

I wish I were, but I'm not. I was a bit horrified myself. :)

well, people who never became properly literate bother me to begin with.

that is, people who have to sound out the words as they type (or people who move their lips when they read).

people who talk to themselves while they're thinking, that's different, 'cause that's me. =P

[silmarian.livejournal.com]

There's actually a lot of people who read out loud, or at least move their lips while reading. I'll do it, sometimes, and I like to think of myself as properly literate.

There's been some studies that've verified that it's a lot easier for many people to read out loud than read silently. IMO, I'll deal with somebody moving their lips or reading out loud because....they're reading!

[kuangning]

Meh. I don't read out loud, but a lot of times I will move my lips when I'm formulating a response, just because I'm hearing myself say it even though I'm typing it. However, since I'm usually not engaged in anything near as steamy as what he was obviously doing, it's been less of an issue for me. Or something. ;)
