          Well, obviously she doesn’t know how sex works, but the tummy actually is an erogenous zone, or at least parts of it are.

              Agreed! 1 Sandwich FOR sex… (with her best looking friend) and one after (with a multi-meat & veggie heated sub with 6 Italian cheeses and the vinegar/oil sub squirt with misc spices)!!

              AWESOME!

            I was just wondering this, firstly does Joyce understand how how sex works? Secondly does she have the faintest clue how gay sex works?

            She could be in for a whole lot of shocks.

              Straight sex: probably not.

              Gay sex: They do it with their buts, where the poopy comes from, which is why it’s dirty. They probably teach this at Joyce’s church.

        How did you convince the lesbian that it was a good idea to stick some part of you into her nearest available squishy hole? Was she confused about being a lesbian?

        And man, I need to redo college. I got it all wrong.

          I showed her the parts I intended to stick in there and she was intrigued. They’re very good parts, and she wasn’t very good at lesbianing.

        I didn’t stick my parts anywhere in college. I feel like I missed out on a lot.

        Also, I didn’t start being confused until after college, so clearly I messed that one up too.

                  Interesting fact I heard somewhere: if you eat too many pineapples, they start digesting you.

                  Is that what pineapple do in Soviet Russia?

          90 degrees is significant by any sensible measure. It’s the difference between driving right through the intersection and making a left turn into oncoming traffic.

    He’s gay. You know he’s gay. If you want to explore sexuality you should apologize to Joe and try that again instead of making up some romanticized fantasy about turning a guy with your pureness and being rewarded with sex and everlasting devotion.

      Except she doesn’t want to explore sexuality, that’s the whole point of their relationship. She doesn’t want premarital hanky-panky, and feels that these lustful thoughts are sinful, so someone like Ethan is safe for now.

      That’s not to say she isn’t going to have lustful thoughts, but she doesn’t want them or to act on them.

        In addition, Joe would probably be the worse option for her, seeing as currently, he is a player character that is mostly looking for a sexual relationship. If she forced herself into a relationship with Joe, I think she would be worse off because in addition to trying to supress her own feelings, she would have to deal with Joe’s, which would be harmful for the both of them. It might be wrong for Joyce to be with Ethan, but atleast she is afforded an outlet to explore her feelings where she feels safe.

          BUT THAT’LL NEED ANOTHER PASSWORD 🙁

          And the amount of trust I place in another person or system to hold things that belong solely in my brain is the square root of minus zero. It’s bad enough having to transmit them across the internet, but, needs must…

          (Not written down or stored in a file anywhere … I might, when I get round to drawing up a will, put them on an old 8mb SD card glued to the bottom of the page, with instructions on what account each one is tied to and how to “close” each one… well, at least, the accounts I care about and can remember, that is. I’ve gone way beyond the point of “not remembering every password”, through “not remembering every user name”, and right into the realm of “landing on a website and not being able to recall if I HAVE an account with it already or not”. I’m sure I had a gravatar before, and it didn’t need a WP account then; nowadays, when everything is tied into facebook – that hive of surveilled scum and villany, but reasonable password security all the same – why can’t that be an option?)

No, I think that might end poorly. I hear you can really clear your head by having a…even worse idea, sorry. I tend to think less when I’m dru- sorry, you’re not Billie.

    Meditation. I know it’s from a different religion, but I think your answer is meditation. Alone. After a cold shower.

      She can always pray the Rosary. Mindlessly reciting prayer is a form of meditation as well.

      Don’t forget the hair shirt, and possibly the whip.

      When I first read this, I saw” dildo” not “libido”. Considering the subject matter of most of the posts, that is not surprising.

    Hmm, Joyce? Nobody’s face can be that colour. Yes, I mean the colour of your face in the third panel. You should go see a doctor, like, now.

    I’m really hoping Joyce implodes in this reality. I liked her elsewhere. Quirky, and eventually admirable. This one? Meh.

      Right now she isn’t much good, but I’m sure she’ll eventually come around. The whole purpose of a character arc is to change them, right? Perhaps this one will eventually lead to a more enlightened and aware Joyce that’ll learn to accept reality.

    Joyce, your vagina wants to have a word with you. It’s not at all pleased with you.

    Well,… In the previous Universe,.. he could sex his female friends if he chose to,.. enjoying it somewhat while driving them up the wall and across the ceiling.

    I have no clue whether he can here,.. but based on his actions so far,.. if she tried to jump his bones – he wouldn’t turn her away.

    Which brings up the question for me of “Bi-sexual” which in my past self-definition just meant that the person can take it however they can get it,…

    Joyce looks remarkably constipated in panel 3.
