Did your entire knowledge of human sexuality come from 80s exploitation and titty films?
Or perhaps Gor?

No no, but what if it was Mario and the princess, meant for each other. Saying "you want some fuk" isn't that bad then.

 

[bernie14]

repay you, u want sum fuk?

There are various ways to play this.....the first is do the deed. Some blood orgy or something.....in a second scenario, she asks to go on a mission to steal some jewelry on a quest. When you succeed, she asks repay you, u want sum fuk? You can go on multiple missions and after experience and success she asks repay you, u want sum fuk. So by now we need another choice. We can chop her head of....or just say NO! And the chick leaves....

EDIT or you can continue going on missions and making love and get married

So what do you think about the Classical Greek sculptures?

I like some of them, although sculpture was never an interest for me...

"And your reward is sex" is not exactly a sentiment that should be normalized, and is generally something most people find fairly distasteful.

Both ways too. A while back I saw an article where a guy saved a woman and she offered, and got offended when he refused (he was married, and IIRC significantly older). He didn't even save her life.

Tethering an expectation like that to otherwise good Samaritan acts not only screws with their nature (...), but also creates some nasty counter-incentives that nobody needs. If people want to have sex they should look for someone else who wants the same thing, not for someone to help/save :/.

Well, offering in itself was not the problem in that case - fragile ego and inability to take "no" for an answer was.
I also don't get your point about "counter-incentives". You mean you would hesitate offering help to someone over concern for similar scenario playing out?

EDIT: Also, I don't get where you both take this "expectation"/"reward" idea from. At least I see no indication that in either story there was any such expectation from men (in the latter there clearly wasn't), nor that the girls thought of it as a reward, as opposed to taking a liking/becoming interested themselves. Post hoc =/= propter hoc, after all.

If the wench wants to have sex with her rescuer, and choose to call it a reward because she wants to be dominated, what's distasteful?

How do you feel about the fact that chicken is an absolute bottom-tier ingredient for Pizza?

The guy should definitely just have had sex with her for common courtesy reasons. Absolute dick-move on his part. I hope he gets shamed on twitter for refusing this poor woman's offer.

 

[Kyriakos]

Maybe the woman put herself in a position to be saved, exactly so that she could have sex with the (preferably good looking) savior?

Would I personally not help someone? This probably wouldn't change my decision. It's an objective truth that the risk of it does create an unnecessary counter-incentive to helping though.

The "expectation/reward" thing is in reference to how in games you can "get the girl" by saving her or doing something specific/heroic. If it's a dating game and that "something" is related to approaching someone in that way, it makes sense. In the example he gave for the Witcher it didn't.

I chose my nick based on my favourite civilization Maya's capital name, and have regreted it since. I almost tried to start a discussion about solving it, but the problem is probably on me, and my suggestion to randomize new user names (in a very nice, sophisticated way and beyond of course) would imply demanding it from the forum owners or writing it myself. I'd have to start a poll in a thread with suggestions, it wouldn't be specific to Civilization, and on Internet someone already has done it, whatever it is.

Chicken pizza is disgusting, but I chose to ignore that fact for the benefit of me having a cool name, which it's not and I realized that at the time too. Doing a couple of SQL command to change it in the database, and one to alter post texts with it, is a small challenge, and I could've been thinking that too.

But being a realist, what I offer is only the fun of putting percentages in narcissism and other things on a specific post and/or my personality, and I understand that that gets not only boring but time consuming.

You can ask an Admin for a name change. They are usually granted.

Well... you might be "best kind of correct" here, in that among those eight billion of us, there probably IS some weirdo, whose thought process goes: "I'd help her... but what if she offers me sex as reward... I'd have to turn her down... then she'd feel insulted... man, wouldn't THAT be awkward!"


EDIT:
Also, chicken on pizza is all right.
Even with pineapple.

 

[red_elk]

Now I see why some people don't want to help babushkas cross the street.

Totally agree. And for the record, in Italy pasta and chicken just. don't. mix.

The guy should definitely just have had sex with her for common courtesy reasons. Absolute dick-move on his part. I hope he gets shamed on twitter for refusing this poor woman's offer.

Personal anecdotal memory: years ago I literally pulled a child out of a speeding car's way. The mother barely acknowledged me.

Back in the good old days you didn't really get pizza base or the topping.

You made do with what you had and used spaghetti as a pizza base.

I ate it as kid. Mum made like a scone mix. No pizza hutt or dominoes etc.

I didn't get to try pizza hut until 1996. I'm the big city (where I live now).

Maybe it's a regional thing.

Keep the cheese, put it on a pan pizza crust, and use a sauce like bbq instead of tomatoes. Make the thing a smokey, meaty, cheezy monstrosity and it won't make a bad pizza. Too many calories, but it'd be like a drinking night sort of pizza to weigh things down. Don't need beef or pork to do that, the cheese has enough enough already. Though, Casey's does sometimes make a Philly Cheese pizza(beef, white instead of red sauce) my son likes that is pretty banging. Usually try to avoid beef myself, anymore. <panic> whew, I didn't blow Lent by feeding my son meats today.

So, chicken is a contextual-grade pizza ingredient would be my counterargument.

Well, no it wasn't.
Isn't that that whole problem ?

Moderator Action: Quick quiz: What's the topic for this thread? ... ... ... That's OK, I don't remember anymore either. I'm kidding. Please return to the topic of the thread, or I will be forced to assume that it has run its course and close it.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Well I thought it was going to be purely artificial electronic images, as contrast to the banned former human babe
thread, but after careful consideration, I decided not to provoke you by posting anything to over the top.

 

[Farm Boy]

Like pizza? Oh the teats on them pizzas. I ate part of one tonight and they're starting to get impressive, if somewhat hairy and entirely unappealing.
