Hardly a bro.

Maybe a brolie!

Dunno. Needs a word.

I dunno why you called her a fb. That was weird. No one said that, and it's strange to just inject that epithet right into the conversation like that. Is everything ok?

Prudish? Yes, disapprovingly tut-tutting at consensual behavior among adults is not my idea of liberalism. And the idea that "Enjoyable things many adults do in a healthy manner can go wrong, so you shouldn't do it!" is an anxiety issue.

People need to work through their issues in their own homes instead of inflicting them upon others who aren't doing a damn thing that affects them.
