Joyce was off to turn her comic in. Now she is not. If she misses poly-sci class, Becky will know and want an explanation. With two little sis’s to worry about, Sal is heading out without her baseball bat. I can think of absolutely nothing that could go wrong.
….
I took my own virginity using an inanimate object.
It was not a coatrack… but of a similar level of absurdity.
I don’t think any further details would be appropriate given the forum. Even that much is pushing it. This isn’t reedit.
@Mods/Willis: If this went too far, my apologies. I wasn’t going to post it, but then requests happened, and I’m nothing if not a sucker for an audience.
But, as for people who still feel the need for there to be some kind of standard of virginity for whatever reason, maybe it could help to lower that standard as a kind of step ladder?
There is a character in Boyer D’argens’ “Thérèse philosophe” named “la Barrée” (the Barred), which is unable to lose her virginity due to her having the way barred, thus preventing anything to break the hymen. It is possibly either a depiction of an intersex or a trans person, and surely the main feminist character of this very necessary book from 1748.
NSFW? Is it illustrated? Otherwise, I should think that anyone getting close enough to be offended are way past work boundaries and into personal space.
It’s been illustrated, also even without this it’s a bit like reading Lady Chatterley or Lolita at work, YMMV but there is a chance your employer’ll know you’re reading porn, even if the title isn’t explicit.
Also work boundaries… while reading a book… we definitely did not work at the same places.
If, by “took your own virginity” you actually mean broke your hymen, then I’m not sure that counts for a very large amount of people, and for those that do, well, that’s a really messed up definition of virginity. It is possible to do, by accident, in many (many, many many) ways that have nothing to do with other humans of any gender.
I took a Humans and Sex class (yes, that’s an actual class, and one you can take for GE requirements in California), and it’s been proven that a hymen can be broken by hygiene products or even just by the natural stretching that happens over time.
I’ve read that crotch-intensive physical activity, such as horseback riding, can break the hymen without any penetration at all. A very fragile standard for female ‘purity’.
And sometimes if you’re aroused and lubricated enough, it doesn’t break during sex either. It’s supposed to stretch, not break. It often does because it’s small and fragile but it’s not ‘supposed to’. (It’s not supposed to hurt or bleed a lot either. Sometimes it does a little bit, but if it’s a lot, something might be wrong and you might need to talk to a doctor. It could just be bad luck of the draw but it could also be a problem).
OK first, and I am sure you’re aware but anyways, you owe none of us anything further, and thank you for sharing what you have. Iff you are comfortable sharing more, I am curious why you phrased or consider it losing your virginity vs breaking your hymen? I mean, I can think of scenarios… LOTS.. of scenarios which despite others’ claims, I would totally classify as losing virginity, (Willis has one above). But if you @Rose, just mean broke your hymen by accident, I’d parrot the rest of the peanut gallery in saying that just breaking the hymen by accident doesn’t count, unless you want to feel that it does.
… wow. I did not mean to set off a discussion of this nature.
Ahem.
First off, I was trying to be both funny and avoid being overly graphic or specific. Those two apparently did not combine well.
To the virginity thing, I more meant taking control of my own sexuality and pleasure rather than allowing some outside situation to do so – ie, I didn’t let someone else “take it” from me, I made it my own. That’s how I always thought about it, and I find that idea – of keeping that first experience to myself – to be empowering.
To the object – no, it wasn’t accidental. Very much the opposite. I was very good at improvisational sex toys. I was (and am) a nerd who loves her collectables, and several of them proved to be the correct size and shape that I required (although a bit hard). I eventually discovered this wonderful hairbrush with a rubberized handle that was far gentler and more realistic in texture, but one never forgets one’s first.
I am torn on how to wrap this up, though. Part of me wants to make a sly joke that hints at the specific object, but the last time I tried to be sly, I started this thread. So maybe I should quit while I’m… wherever this is.
Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. And sometimes ya gotta do that chair at Big Lots that’s been makin’ eyes at you all day. Or those black curtains with the lace on ’em. Or a rogue handful of candy corn. This is all in the Royal You, of course. Not speculating on Rose’s personal life.
Not sure why everyone else is obsessing over That Specific Detail, though. It feels gross.
At least Ruth has her priorities in order in at least trying to check if she is an aproved family member. But considering Joyce looks happy and Sarah probably looks grumpy it was easy to confirm.
Coat racks don’t have names and are beneath acknowledgement. They aren’t an entity with will that gets to have choice. It is a thing and it will hold the coat for as long as Ruth wishes.
This is over a month later and they are standing in what is presumably underclothes, considering it’s winter outside. A progression in their relationship is expected.
I believe it’s only been a day or two more since the handcuffing. Liz mentioned her school hadn’t started yet, so we didn’t get a month’s time jump without being told.
Month in real time. Next day in comic.
We saw him handcuffed there yesterday morning. They met at the bar the night before.
It does suggest he’s spent two nights there.
Two things: 1) Sarah is absolutely not letting Joyce hog the little sister fun. 2) Ruth domming Jason is A+ content. She’s an asshole, he’s a tool, it just works.
Ruth domming anyone is a flagrant violation of canon. The only explanation is that Jason’s a real boring lay with zero initiative.
Daisy raised her voice for like five seconds and Ruth immediately became engaged and invested, because Ruth has lifetime living arrangements down at The Bottom.
Oh dear. I’ve met people like Liz before. They’re not really bad people usually but they just have this immense momentum about them where it’s nearly impossible to say ‘no’ or even to get them to stop focussing on their next stop to think about the people they’ve just accidentally walked all over.
Awwwwww…. The understanding between Joyce and Liz feels so intense and genuine ♡. I hope the thought of missing classes doesn’t come back during Liz’s tour and ruin everything. Jason and Ruth are really a weird couple. I don’t think feelings are involved, maybe it’s better this way. Maybe it’s just momentary.
He isn’t the math TA anymore; he quit after it came out that he was sleeping with Sal. Nowadays, he’s (possibly illegally) Galasso’s bartender. However, that detail aside, yes, I think that Ruth and Jason have been at it more-or-less non-stop for over 24 hours now.
He’s not THE math T.A. anymore. But, “Math TA” is the nick name that Sal used to refer to him the last time they interacted. So I think the previous commenter was using it as a name rather than a job title.
Remember how protective Sarah is of her scholarship. I think that she’s the sort of personality who would steer a wide berth around anything that could threaten it.
I am not sure exactly what the rule is, but Jason is a student (grad student to be exact) at the university (whereas Liz is not). As such, Jason would probably be allowed in placed (such as residences) that a non student would not.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.
"You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies
Get him excited and he also provides a place to hang an umbrella!
But remember do remember to take your umbrella, or else you might get wet!
I don’t think this comic contains that kind of Joyce.
Sarah’s a pushover for li’l sisses
Absolutely nothing is wrong with this plan and nothing will go wrong.
Joyce was off to turn her comic in. Now she is not. If she misses poly-sci class, Becky will know and want an explanation. With two little sis’s to worry about, Sal is heading out without her baseball bat. I can think of absolutely nothing that could go wrong.
And I still suspect Liz has some motive for being here other than just a casual visit.
Eh, less a pushover, more Joyce of all people skipping class completely borked her brain and now she HAS to know what is going on
…something tells me Ruth/Jason is the next Slip
He is apparently a fuckable coatrack
Any coatrack is, if you’re not a coward.
If all you have is a coat, any coat-rack looks like a nailable hammer.
Or something like that.
**Begins to tell a very inappropriate story.**
**Pauses**
**Writes this instead.**
Okay, you can’t put that post and not tell a story.
TELL THE STORY!
….
I took my own virginity using an inanimate object.
It was not a coatrack… but of a similar level of absurdity.

@Mods/Willis: If this went too far, my apologies. I wasn’t going to post it, but then requests happened, and I’m nothing if not a sucker for an audience.
I don’t think it counts as losing virginity unless it’s done with something that’s, at the very least, alive.
Virginity is an absurd and often harmful construct anyway, why does this matter?
Alive and not one of your own appendages, otherwise handy-panky would count wouldn’t it?
Didn’t “loss of virginity” originally just mean “hymen broke”?
@Needfuldoer, good point.
@Devin, I actually totally agree with you there.
But, as for people who still feel the need for there to be some kind of standard of virginity for whatever reason, maybe it could help to lower that standard as a kind of step ladder?
Originally, “loss of virginity” meant marriage, because “virgin” meant “unmarried woman”.
The separation of the concepts of sex and marriage isn’t that old in Western culture.
There is a character in Boyer D’argens’ “Thérèse philosophe” named “la Barrée” (the Barred), which is unable to lose her virginity due to her having the way barred, thus preventing anything to break the hymen. It is possibly either a depiction of an intersex or a trans person, and surely the main feminist character of this very necessary book from 1748.
I should add it’s not a sfw book in any way.
NSFW? Is it illustrated? Otherwise, I should think that anyone getting close enough to be offended are way past work boundaries and into personal space.

Can confirm.
I took a Humans and Sex class (yes, that’s an actual class, and one you can take for GE requirements in California), and it’s been proven that a hymen can be broken by hygiene products or even just by the natural stretching that happens over time.

Was it at band camp?
Yeah, for a second I thought I was missing part of the story, and then I realized the reason is that it may have a big ol’ X-rating slapped across it.
That’s one reason to suspect so.
Has this kind of foreshadowing of SlipShines happened in the alt-text before?
It happened in the regular comic for the Joe-Malaya Slipshine.
Them or the Lizbians, and given Becky’s hangups that latter one might be a while
That one’s probably a few years away, yet.
Which one again?
Becky/Dina
Ah. Liz is gonna be a hurricane of bad influence, huh.
Awwww….
why do I feel like Sarah knows Liz is bad news, and is now feeling roped in because Joyce doesn’t know it yet?
I’m really hoping she’s not “bad news” per se, but I’m guessing that Sarah has some reason to think things will go wrong.
Sarah’s face on panel 4 has a “older sister putting with BS” vibe, or is it just me?
I’m an Eldest Sib, I know I’ve worn that expression on many an occasion.
I’m a Youngest Sibling, and I’ve seen that face before. A lot.
I can relate to feeling
Seems to me like they’ve always had an opposing-personalities, Odd Couple kind of relationship.
There is something viscerally upsetting about that alt-text.
It brought to mind a line from the ABC sitcom The Hughleys about towel racks.
agreed. What even is a coa-track anyways?
The coa in coa-track stands for coming of age.
If it didn’t before, it does now.
Oh Sarah, your unwillingness to admit you want to spend time with your little sister is adorable. Maybe they’ll even get a smile out of you.
Also because this series wouldn’t be the same without it: What are they going to miss that is either important or amazing?
If I have the schedule right in my head, the only class Joyce has today is Political Science.
So, simultaneously amazing and horrible, probably. This is Robin we’re talking about, after all.
. . . I feel like a Fuckable Coat Rack would be bad.
Possible Splinters from poor workmanship/upkeep or wear and tear, every coat rack I;v ever had or seen had **terrible** balance.
Yeah just an all around bad idea.
Who said it had to be made of wood?
Why not plastic polymers, or smart materials that become soft and stretchy when touching human bodies?
If it ain’t got wood there’s not gonna be much fucking going on.
(sorry, I kid. there’s a literal rainbow of things one can do without wood, but damn this was the joke, and I made it classy, see, cause italics)
I mean, I always thought that glass dildos sounded like a bad idea.
Turns out they’re perfectly safe.
Can confirm.
TMI?
I suppose it depends on how well-made the coat rack is, and what it’s made out of. I did not expect to be discussing how fuckable coat racks might be.
The things we do for SCIENCE.
There he is again, in boxers and socks…
Yeah you are, Jason.
How long was Jason just standing in the hall with a coat over his head?
longer than anyone with dignity would
Lucky for Liz, he’s British.
If Joyce gets too caught up in showing Liz around, Walky might just get the comic slot by default.
Oof. I could really see that happening. I hope it doesn’t though.
Jason just gets more tired and bewildered every time we see him. I assume this means the sex is incredible.
To be read in bad standup intonation:
I’ve heard of objectification but this is ridiculous!
Why were they both out with their pants off in the first place? Did they just stay there waiting for Liz to come back?
At least Ruth has her priorities in order in at least trying to check if she is an aproved family member. But considering Joyce looks happy and Sarah probably looks grumpy it was easy to confirm.
At least he still is not handcuffed to the door.

Alright I did the thing.
Excellent work!
And what a deliciously fruity flavor!
(no pun intended!)
Pffffffffffhahaha, I love it! I’m digging the way you draw Liz, too. What a smokeshow!
RIGHT?
I really love that euphemism.
…i am very here for this now
Risky play to invest in a ship where one character has only just been introduced.
If I only shipped things that made sense or were plausible I would only ship like…3 things.
Things made of threes are good ships though. Props as always Yoto!
Plausibility is the bugaboo of boring people.
Those are the best kind.
Sayid has hot tattoos and plays drums.
Everything else is fanon.
Sayid also got it on with Bryan in the ‘Tales of Sinterest” Slipshine, and Slipshines are canonical.
Nicely done.
Upvoting before I even click on it. You’ve earned a certain rep in these parts.
Nicely done, both the art and dialogue.
Jason, you are *absolutely* if you chose to leave that jacket on your head so long. If Ruth made you, fair enough.
Coat racks don’t have names and are beneath acknowledgement. They aren’t an entity with will that gets to have choice. It is a thing and it will hold the coat for as long as Ruth wishes.
So the technicality of having a name let’s Jason off the hook?
Wait so is it cool if Jason stays there?
Dunno. Maybe someone should tell the RA
Someone? Is it Mary?
Why wouldn’t it be?
It’s Canon. Jason is now a member of the Sexy Lamp trope
Hah!
I was going to say “he’s not all that Sexy” but… well…
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/02-threes-a-crowd/trousers/
Well, the new haircut on it’s own is worth a couple points. Massive improvement
It’s so often the ones you least suspect.
Was meaning to stay, he’s even got a third leg upon which to stand.
Big sis is joining!
Not that she want to or anything. Just keeping her lil sisses safe.
Baka
As far as I know, Jason is the only coatrack that can also mix drinks.
Was not expecting that development to be revealed in a second to last panel.
Not gonna lie.
Has anything new been revealed? Jason and Ruth are a something now, that’s been established. Jason having some doormat tendencies has been established
I’m hesitant to assume they’ve done anything yet, since last time people assumed that it turned out Ruth had just handcuffed him to the door.
This is over a month later and they are standing in what is presumably underclothes, considering it’s winter outside. A progression in their relationship is expected.
I believe it’s only been a day or two more since the handcuffing. Liz mentioned her school hadn’t started yet, so we didn’t get a month’s time jump without being told.
Definitely only a few days, since Walky and Joyce are turning in their strips. Its now Friday of the same week.
Month in real time. Next day in comic.
We saw him handcuffed there yesterday morning. They met at the bar the night before.
It does suggest he’s spent two nights there.
I get the impression Liz will be a bad influence on Joyce.
Sorry, Jason, it’s the price you pay for being tall. I don’t make the rules.
Two things: 1) Sarah is absolutely not letting Joyce hog the little sister fun. 2) Ruth domming Jason is A+ content. She’s an asshole, he’s a tool, it just works.
I’m always down for some DOMMING. hehehehehehehehehe
… of Age?
Ruth domming anyone is a flagrant violation of canon. The only explanation is that Jason’s a real boring lay with zero initiative.
Daisy raised her voice for like five seconds and Ruth immediately became engaged and invested, because Ruth has lifetime living arrangements down at The Bottom.
Ruth’s a switch. The most utilitarian of subs.
Oh dear. I’ve met people like Liz before. They’re not really bad people usually but they just have this immense momentum about them where it’s nearly impossible to say ‘no’ or even to get them to stop focussing on their next stop to think about the people they’ve just accidentally walked all over.
Any coatrack is technically fuckable if you’re inventive enough.

-fixed that for you.
Paige, no!
Awwwwww…. The understanding between Joyce and Liz feels so intense and genuine ♡. I hope the thought of missing classes doesn’t come back during Liz’s tour and ruin everything. Jason and Ruth are really a weird couple. I don’t think feelings are involved, maybe it’s better this way. Maybe it’s just momentary.
Looks like she didn’t ask their opinion before throwing her coat at Jason
Which, frankly, sounds very on par with the course
wait, has Ruth been spending this whole time shagging Math T.A.?
He isn’t the math TA anymore; he quit after it came out that he was sleeping with Sal. Nowadays, he’s (possibly illegally) Galasso’s bartender. However, that detail aside, yes, I think that Ruth and Jason have been at it more-or-less non-stop for over 24 hours now.
Impressive.
He’s not THE math T.A. anymore. But, “Math TA” is the nick name that Sal used to refer to him the last time they interacted. So I think the previous commenter was using it as a name rather than a job title.

should we upgrade him to Math Bartender?
Last time we thought that it turned out she just took him hostage
So coatrack is actually a promotion.
I mean… I have met people who would take at least this expression of Ruth and Jason’s relationship as goals.
Are there un-fuckable coatracks?
…No. No there is not.
Not unless you count the ones where doing so can lead to severe injury.
That’s coward talk.

Okay, yours is better.
Somehow I doubt it’ll be the end of the world if Sarah and Joyce skip their classes for one day.
Remember how protective Sarah is of her scholarship. I think that she’s the sort of personality who would steer a wide berth around anything that could threaten it.
Sarah has gone from >:( to full on >:⸦
This relationship is surprisingly kinky.
“Hi, my name is Ruth, and this is my approved family member, Jason.”
I am not sure exactly what the rule is, but Jason is a student (grad student to be exact) at the university (whereas Liz is not). As such, Jason would probably be allowed in placed (such as residences) that a non student would not.
It hadn’t occurred to me that Jason would still be in school, under the circumstances.
Careful, Sarah, your frown is becoming less deep. If you’re not careful, it might become…

Panels 3&4: ooh, what did Liz do to make Sarah protective of Joyce around her?
Panel 5: ffffffff
What kind of idiot would build a coatrack you can’t fuck?
18th century Franciscan priests obsessed with chastity, just to provide one example.
Well. We know what Ruth’s kink is.
