- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

If only my wife would understand this.
There is never, ever, a time when seeing her naked wouldn't make my day better.
I'm a wife whose husband feels this way and let me just say, for a lot of heterosexual women (especially millennials; the 90's were rough for girls) it is very VERY hard to internalize this message, no matter how often we hear it.
But I'm trying! And it makes me so happy that he loves my body, so I don't get tired of hearing it, even if it's a little uncomfortable having to confront my low self esteem.
I genuinely wish I could see myself (and my tits) the way my husband sees them. I don't think I'll ever get it but I'm glad they make his day.
And that's the thing; you don't have to get it, just accept it.
Testosterone is a hell of a drug, and unless you're doing TRT, it's super hard to understand the effects
Same goes for sex drive. My wife hasn't internalized the fact that I would be happy to have sex at literally any time that wouldn't get us arrested. Like, we've done it while I have a full blown migraine, and I initiated. But, I'm just being nice when I say it.
It's hard to understand stuff like that when it's not something you experience.
