Gay best friend

... My first thought is sympathy for the women of Russia.

@BritishKnight thanks but we don't really need it. I don't understand why this comic has been made. It's utter bullshit, at least when it comes to my generation.

i logged in again for the first time in 2 years to ask this question: does this mean that i, a lesbian, would be considered straight?

@marcoreos
In Soviet Russia, Straight gays YOU!

(I hope that made as little sense to you as me).

Not just Russia. It's a generational thing. In my parents' generation here in Murca it was considered unmanly, and Real Men(tm) wouldn't do that. Now? It's pretty much assumed that a considerate lover will routinely do this. Well, at least among the people I know.

@Anuran you sure? I'm from your parents generation, and um, I strongly suggest you are incorrect... But then, every generation think they invented sex...

@Anuran Yeah that's a different reasoning. Plus unless your parents are 70 I think they were probably a bit behind the times if they weren't indulging orally in both directions, it's pretty much been standard since the 70's in all bar the most backward of waters.

@hackerjack My parents are both over 80, and I was warned against that sort of "perversion" by my father, so I'm pretty confident.

"And anyways that's when Finland walked in, and he was super mad for some reason, so I had to jump out the window and-"

You all get that this comic is based on stereotypes of other countries, correct? Hence why Sister America was originally portrayed as an extreme Paris Hilton-like valley girl (until she got some more character growth to counteract Brother America's horrible hyper-conservative beliefs he occasionally has).

@SwingShift_CA it's actually a rather popular thing in Russian prison culture. That whole culture is weird, if only to specifically confuse outsiders.

So, if you're a man, and you have PiV sex, then you've touched another man's penis with your penis. Thus, you are gay.

Seriously though, poor Russian women. Many women can't even get off by penetration alone.

@DamaOscuraDeTodos Not just “many,” researchers say the number of women who can’t get off from PiV intercourse alone is north of 70%. Untold millions of women walking around thinking there’s something wrong with them because they don’t respond the way they’ve been told they should.

@TuxedoCartman

Those "studies" usually define "penetration alone" as penetration with no contact between the clitoris and penis. Most women can get off with normal sex, since, you know, the clitoris is usually in contact with everything unless the couple is trying to avoid it.

@CorruptUser I’m sorry, you lost me the second you felt the need to put quotation marks around “studies.” Since you seem soooooo familiar with them, perhaps you’d like to talk some more about the percentage of women found to have a distance of greater than one inch between their clitoris and their vaginal opening, and the role that plays in whether or not women have an orgasm?

@TuxedoCartman First of all 70% falls well within the bounds of "Many". Secondly it's not entirely true, most women can get off through penetrative sex alone, the fact that most don't is usually more a case of the man often climaxing first and then stopping or poor technique all round. Just because they don't climax doesn't mean they can't with the right amount of time and technique.

@hackerjack. I see someone got their degree in Human Sexuality at Trump University. Tell ya what, should you EVER be lucky enough to get a nice lady to tumble with ya, try that whole “repeatedly stating facts with no supporting evidence to try and change reality” thing out, and let me know how that works for ya, okay?

@TuxedoCartman Odd how defensive and ridicuously insulting you got there when I just made a correct statement about the definition of "many" and offered an alternative option for why the figures may look that way.

I know lots of researchers (yes women included), none of them would choose the words you did to describe something like that as definitive fact when it's a complex issue, all of which would welcome discussion regarding their studies. None would be immature enough to resort to name-calling and ridicule.

I'll leave it at that I think.

@DamaOscuraDeTodos Although, Russians with their overly prideful nature would say something to the effect: "No, only you Americans have problem pleasuring woman. We know how to pleasure woman with penis." They believe it and are too hard-set to think otherwise.

@Malcadon I think that’s most men, not just Russians, isn’t it?

@DamaOscuraDeTodos Wow, I thought it was just me who couldn't get off from penis penetration! It's odd, because when he or she (whoever I'm with at the time) uses their tongue or fingers...it's so much better, and I get off so easily that way. Not with a penis though. Maybe he's just not skilled enough with his dick as he is with his tongue.

@Zealian It's not so much skill as intensity of contact. The bumping and brushing that a clitoris normally gets with typical PiV intercourse isn't focused or concentrated enough to trigger off an orgasm. With tongue and fingers, it's much easier to maintain the more constant stimulation needed. Many women have better luck with PiV if they're on top and can control the pressure on their clitoris.

@BethMit To be fair it is apparently possible for most women to train orgasm from penetration as well, but that all depends on the nerve endings and structure of the muscles. There are women out there who can't orgasm at all. It is true though, oral is more intense and stimulating, and it is quite common experience for women. So fear not Zeallan, there is nothing unusual about your experience, no shame about it, and it is good that you know yourself well enough to know what works and what doesn't.

@Zealian Apparently it's extremely common, and it's not just you.

@DamaOscuraDeTodos This! My girlfriend can't... And she is Russian. Guess we are guilty of gay sex, or is it just me?

[Redacted the comment, because it was dumb and I'm too embarrassed to look at it.]

@AinoKyllikki

I think you mean "to boldly come"

Let's have a moment's silence for Brother Denmark.
Why? You think Brother Finland ain't gonna hear about this?

@DarkMage7280 Knowing Sister Sweden, she is probably the only person who can make Brother Finland obedient like a puppy. She'll probably tame both Brother Denmark and Brother Finland. Good boy.

NOW the stereotype of the “Russian mail-order bride” is coming into clearer focus! I’d want to be sold off to someone in another country too if I had to put up with that!

@TuxedoCartman you think the guys who buy mail-order brides know how to go down...?

@commandersbowtie You may be surprised, I may be surprised... there could be surprises going on. I've read a lot of interviews and surveys of sex workers, and they say people would be shocked at how attentive clients often are. Now, making the jump from typical john to someone who flat-out buys a mail-order bride, who's to say... but I could see the underlying principle of "Man is more appreciative of something he's had trouble getting, expresses said appreciation physically" applying here as well.

Then this must be bullshitticus maximus, given that Soviet Union and Vladimir Putin happened there.

Nevertheless, this comic is about stereotypes and these characters fucking around with each other (in a Russian-gay way), I don't think anyone takes the 'facts' very seriously. There's a fact card section for that.
