The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

why is it just assumed that they'll use an object? hands work fine too, you don't assume people with penises will inevitably get an infection from sticking it inside a vacuum cleaner..
And like, lesbians exist?? they have lots of fun just with rubbing!
Because fingers get tired and, in the case of women, the object can go further inside than her fingers. Depending on setup, she can go hands free, too.
Sticking a dick in a vacuum cleaner is not a proper comparison because most of the dick is protected by skin and even the glans will mostly be fine with the same dirt/contaminants that you can wash off your skin.
Anything that gets inside your body represents a much greater risk of infections. A better comparison would be to a man pretend sucking something or sticking it up his ass.
Please don't skip biology classes.
well thanks for being condescending, not sure what this has to do with biology class?
yes, fingers get tired, why do you think there's the joke about guys with one suspiciously muscular arm?
my point is that using your hands is perfectly fine and what you'll naturally gravitate towards since it's extremely readily available, it's strange to me that everyone immediately assumes that women have to use toys to get off, it feels vaguely misogynist somehow, as if girls are incapable of pleasuring themselves..
that toys feel better is a non argument since that applies arguably doubly so to guys, who can both shove something up their bum and get a fleshlight, and yet no one's going around saying guys need toys to get off.
Counterpoint: teenagers are stupid
There is a female comic who was on "This Isn't Happening" who told the story of how she tried to masturbate with a brush with a silicone handle whilst not knowing she was allergic to silicone. She ended up in the ER.
and yet no one worries about what boys get up to, they don't consider buying their sons a fleshlight so they won't fuck the couch (though maybe a specific pair of parents should have).
it just feels strange to me that young women are assumed to be incapable of not harming themselves while having fun, like oh what a coincidence that it's girls who need protecting, huh?
Because they don't know how to get a woman off acoustically. You make great points. Majority of the time I've masturbated, it's been without a toy
Acoustically? Like play the guitar so well she gets off no handed? I'm really confused by your word choice.
I think you mean "digitally". Digital = with your digits (ie. fingers). Acoustically = with sound (?)
Unless you're talking about ear-tonguing. Which I agree is hot but I think it'd be pretty hard to make a woman cum that way.
No, I mean acoustically because I'm referencing a meme, ya nerd.
Lol, never seen that one. Agree that I am a nerd.
Kinda wild to me that a woman could have this take since as a dude I'm very used to playing acoustic dick. Can't imagine just deciding I don't wanna nut anymore because I'd have to do it by hand. I gotta say I kinda envy women since it's pretty socially acceptable for them to use toys compared to the fellas. It'd be cool if I could just have a fleshlight or sex doll in a drawer somewhere and nobody would think it's any weirder than a girl having a vibrator in her drawer. They look like they'd feel good and be a fun time. But there's so much judgement around them.
Despite what you may have seen in porn, using your own fingers for penetration is kind of awkward in terms of angle, and has a very different feeling.
I think the implication you're making about lesbians is that they participate in substantially less penetration?
Being interested in women doesn't change what feels good in regards to physical gratification.
what i'm implying is that external stimulation also feels good, and i find the idea that you need internal stimulation to be strange. no one applies this to people with dicks, anyone with a dick is just assumed that external stimulation is sufficient and internal stimulation is an extra thing for brave people.
