    I am a medical interpreter and until like three months ago I didn’t know that women had clear fluid secretions on the regular, as in as a normal part of their life monthly cycle. No one, not any gf nor my actual gf or any friend had told me that. I hadn’t heard about it anywhere, either on the news, on small talk, on jokes, on serious conversations, on sex ed, nowhere. I was in wonder not because of the fact, but because of how little info about it there is until I got the info in my job, and even there i hadn’t heard about it before nor after. It’s so weird for something so common to be this quiet.

      I’d almost say the same thing about the fact that ballsacks “breathe” constantly. It’s easily confirmed by just looking at them when idle, but nobody talks about it and I never read anything about it until I just… Looked at my own balls for a few seconds and realized they noticeably expand and contract at a discernable speed.

        That’s just their idle animation. Supposedly, if they desync, it’s like a yo-yo until they catch back up

        I wonder if it has to do with temp regulation. Iirc that’s the reason why balls can expand and contract to begin with.

            This is like beyond that, it’s like your balls have the two major modes of being contracted or saggy, but then they also just constantly pulse even within the two, it’s probably from the same mechanism though
