Funguy My mom would probably be okay with holding the keys if he's okay with being belted and she wants him belted.

I'm uncertain on how I should read this:
1) My mom would probably be okay with holding the keys if he's okay with being belted ; and she wants him belted.
or
2) My mom would probably be okay with holding the keys , if he's okay with being belted and (if) she wants him belted.

In other words, has your mother already expressed her wish to see him belted/caged (option 1)? Or is it just one of the conditions you assume for her to be OK with holding the keys (option 2)?

    Joh Nice. Is open to everyone which letters a missing

    It's interesting finding out what words in what languages can be used and where. E.g. I heard a commentator from the United Kingdom on a US TV station talking about words like bloody, wind, shagging, words that don't exist in the US version of English (well, wind does but it means something totally different in the UK). I don't remember what he said but some words can be used on the telly and some can't. Lots of people use the word I represented as f---ing but you can't say it on TV and I would never say it in front of my father. Shagging I could use. Also, I can say boobs and he doesn't mind but beware of tits.

      Avery Also, I can say boobs and he doesn't mind but beware of tits.

      I am just imagining a sign with tiny little birds with black head, blue wings and a yellow-green body, and beneath that the warning "beware of tits".

      But of course, we know that not just tits are birds, but also boobies. And cocks.

      Seems there is a reason we talk about the birds and the bees. Maybe it should be the birds and the cats instead, though.

        In 2005 there was a man named Anthony Weiner who ran for mayor of New York City. Weiner can mean hot dog or penis in US slang. Supposedly all the TV announcers were rooting for him because then for four years they could say weiner on the air.

          Avery It is interesting, especially if you are not a native speaker.
          Bloody, I heard the first time in Australia and I don't know in which context it is used and what it really mean. I only know it not in a nice context.
          f--ing in your sentence mean finding 🤨 Didn't you?

            Avery Needing a belt to do it I consider a sign of weakness in me, though not in others.

            I consider excessive masturbation, my own problem, to be a major weakness within me, but I consider the belt to be a solution. The belt is a part of me. Whether this now makes me some sort of cyborg I don't know! 🤣

              Joh f--ing in your sentence mean finding 🤨 Didn't you?

              That would do nicely. I think I'm going to start saying shagging. I like that word. We have a lot of time off this week. Someone to shag would come in handy.

              Jonas I consider excessive masturbation, my own problem, to be a major weakness within me, but I consider the belt to be a solution.

              Well it's definitely a tool. Whether it's the best long-term solution is a fuzzy.

              Avery Weiner can mean hot dog or penis in US slang.

              Only because you cannot distinguish Weiner (someone who cries) from Wiener (from Vienna). Still mildly irritated by the fact that Wienerschnitzel serves hot dogs, rather than Wiener Schnitzel, by the way.

              But yeah, wiener puns are great. Though wieners are a bit too thin to really be a good stand-in for a penis. Much better to use a kielbasa. A Polish sausage for those that currently don't polish their sausage.

                Cucumbers are said to be a good substitute and they come in various widths. Just need to remember to take them out of the 'fridge in time to warm up a tad. Also I recall in the book Portnoy's Complaint (he was horny) Portnoy takes the chopped liver out of the fridge, fashions it into a replica of a vagina, takes his pleasure with it, washes it, puts it back in the fridge and that night his mother serves it to the family for dinner.

                  Avery I have no objection to f-ing the right guy at the right time

                  How would you know if he is right one?

                    Laura How would you know if he is right one?

                    I know a lot of guys, have been with a lot of guys. Haven't spent my time staying home protecting my virginity. I'm still learning but I have the means to make contact and get to know guys and size them up. And I'm in no hurry. Won't think about marriage 'til I'm 26. Tell us how you would do it.

                      youdontknowme Yes, that's what I had in mind for the cucumber. And effing is a better spelling than the one I used. Verdict is still out on the video.

                      Avery Tell us how you would do it.

                      The same way, but without sex, of course

                        Laura The same way, but without sex, of course

                        Hope things work out, time's going by.

                        Laura How would you know if he is right one?

                        If you find the right person you know it. Follow you feeling.
                        I have actively sought a new partner several times in my life. In the process I have met many women. We talked, drank coffee, went for walks and told each other our previous life, what we like and what we do not. It comes all by itself and at some point you know. She is the right person.

                          Avery Yes and it's working with my grades and my running, I have actual proof with test results and running times.

                          You enjoy your running😁 it's a great bonus to have

                          Avery Plus it feels good to know that when I do have a guy I will be able to give him something nobody else had had, at least for a whle.

                          But is it about that? I think this thought is nearly a trap. There's also what your giving yourself - when you have a guy you'll have something special🤩 you haven't had for a while. That's what makes sense to me.

                          Avery I know I won't last 'til I'm married

                          It's hard it's a crazy thing to think about

                          Avery Needing a belt to do it I consider a sign of weakness in me

                          Wow you go😇
                          That's just stress for me like locking the belt is a decision I make it and then I can relax but just being strong is like an fight with yourself. For when your actually doing stuff sure but alone or overnight...

                          Joh The solution is to control yourself.

                          😔if only

                          Avery Yup

                          Is right partner like - meaning life partner? I guess at least expecting it to become that?

                            Jen locking the belt is a decision I make it and then I can relax but just being strong is like an fight with yourself

                            ⬆️ This sums up my own feelings exactly ⬆️

                            Keeping plates spinning is tiring. Making a choice you can't easily go back on removes the stress and, as you say, the internal struggle and fight.

                            😔if only

                            I treat the belt as a part of me. So in any meaningful sense, I am controlling myself, by choosing to wear it. 😄

                            I'm not so sure that change has to be this thing that always comes from within. We are allowed external help! For example, a friend of mine quit smoking, not because he was mentally ready to but because he'd been in hospital. The week or two where he couldn't smoke, gave him a really useful head start.

                            Jen if only

                            Why, if only? Is there someone else who has an influence at achieving your goal?
