I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn't have to use my penis for any of them.

[-] LumberjackRanger@leminal.space 11 points 1 day ago

Your troop didnt teach you how to lash a table together using just your penis? Maybe that was just for Order of the Arrow...

.... wait, what? Next are you gonna tell me that the "cocksucking" badge I got from that one scoutmaster is fake?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

Maybe.

Come over to this hotel room. Show me what you learned, and I'll assess your skills. Then I can tell you if it was fake.

They said they didn't have to use THEIR penis... (I'm so sorry)

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago

You confuse it with the "self sucking" badge

As a scout in the 90s, I can remember entire summer camps spent discussing Marilyn manson and his missing rib

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Same, except it was Ron Jeremy not Marilyn Manson.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

That's the first time I've heard that. I think he had too big a belly to bend like that.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's kinda how he became a porn star. Though I've never seen him without the belly, I've heard that he was skinnier in the '70s when he was doing porn. I really only know him from his role in Orgasmo

Not even the knot tying badge? I was duped!

Hah, as a furry, that one has implications. :3

Not even a furry, or even non-hetero, and it has implications

[-] forestbeasts@pawb.social 2 points 18 hours ago

I bet we're thinking of completely different implications, which is pretty hilarious!

('knot' is furry terminology (possibly outside furry too, it might be what the scientists call it, but it probably doesn't come up nearly as much in other contexts) for... does lemmy not have inline spoilers?)

knots explanation, furry lewd stuff talk...the bulbous bit that wolves like me (and other canids) apparently have at the base of their dick, which swells up to lock them in place during sex. And you can probably guess what "tying" would be, heh. Usually I hear it called "knotting" though.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Yep. I was thinking of bondage

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Sure, when you were a kid, yeah. They got a badge now for safe cylinder extraction.

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago

Obviously you didn't take the fast track program.

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I'll never forget how I earned my "not scared in the dark" badge. A penis wasn't involved, but cooked spaghetti.
