TMI?

But I think the sex topics are often a way of increasing the ego for the OP. Kind of like "I am a stud muffin who has sex 8 times a day. How often do you have it?".

Yes, exactly.

I guess a lot of people don't realize how that comes off or maybe they just don't care. But generally, I think the effect is opposite of what is intended.

so let me get this straight.... talking about menstruation is ok but talking about nasal hair isn't??

...for the same reasons why some post pics of their cars, or a pet, SO, etc. Isn't there an element of ego stroking with all posts? The ones that come off a bit unsociable get ignored, so post content has a way of correcting itself here - it seems.

I just find it amusing to make a thread to somehow affirm what is a rather subjective view.

It wasn't meant as an affirmation. It was meant as a POLL.

Well being as I've posted pics of my pet and I think also my car...I'll say that my motivation behind both was not for my ego to be stroked. But I wouldn't equate talking about my sex life with David as on par with talking about my car or pet.

And Jenn...ITA
