Meeting the little known need of "Physical Repulsiveness?"

NGB and I refer to these types of physiques as "walking penises."

While I appreciate the notes lauding this particular thread, there is
no real reason for couples to send me videos of their joyful reactions!

A simple "Thank You" would suffice.

Oh, AM .... We are sisters again.
The wonderful Mr Pep likes to park in certain types of spaces. OK, fine. However, he takes his sweet time searching the entire parking lot for the perfect space. My left eye starts to twitch. Then my legs. It is an opportunity for me to exercise self control. I will not verbalize what my brain is screaming ....

JUST PARK IT ALREADY !!!!

That's true! It's time-stamped 16.36 on my screen, and I believe it hasn't reached that time with you yet!

It would be wise to remember that, once married,

One's Attitude, Behavior,
and Appearance May
Reflect on One's Spouse
At Inconvenient Moments

A major cause of the shocked reaction of BSs is:

Paying Insufficient
Attention To A Spouse's
Demonstrating
Mysterious New Interests
And Talents
