... how?
I think my new Karaoke song will be Stan. I grew up in the aughts, I know that verse flow like the back of my hand, and I can definitely sing the Dido parts, it'll be a killer
Ah, my summer plans
I went to Puerto Rico a few years ago and forgot I was closer to the equator...so when I went to the beach and drizzled some wet sand on my legs for fun, and left it there, I was not expecting the absolutely hilariously weird "squiggle burn/tan line" that I got as a result.
Like a ganache cake.
FUCK
Are you really having fun
all of this makes me wonder
how fun can sex on the beach really be
like isn't that gonna result with sand being in places that you absolutely wouldn't want sand
I don't mind that as much as the feeling of salt water drying on you. I need to take a shower immediately after going for an ocean swim, blegh!
Once again porn makes everything look far more fun than it is in practice
You're not my real mom!
not a fan, gotta say
it is pretty awful and yes
like
on your balls and butt and you're like "but I didn't even sit down on the towel?!"
Yeah feeling and smelling like seaweed is the fuckin' worst
It's not ideal but it's worth the novelty, in my experience.
Similarly, I love the weird crinkly feeling of dried salt water on your skin.
Thank you, I thought I would be the only sane person in this thread.
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
It's SO DRY! I can feel my skin pulled taut when I move. It's this powdery salt feeling and ugh ugh ugh no
I am super sensitive to dry skin and the feeling on something on my hands, though. I might be more bothered as a result.
Because sand is coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
Yeah it's great!
no but actually it is a very weird feeling - being 'aware' of your skin in that way can be extremely odd - but it's one I associate with sun and summer fruit and lots of wine and relaxation and Christmas and no work or pressure ... basically the connotations are so good that even if the feeling is discomforting, I still enjoy it.
Seaweed doesn't smell like anything, in my experience. Just smells like the sea, which I find very pleasant!
Marshes are what smell like death. Sulfur fart death.
But the beach smells very light and aquatic and happy to me.
[edit] low-tide can be a bit more intense, depending on the beach, but still nowhere near a marsh smell.
I feel attacked again
I mean honestly I don't love a lot of the ocean - I like swimming and boardwalks and not wearing a shirt, but none of that is really beach exclusive
And the ocean has tried to kill me twice and I have a very bad relationship with seafood and I don't really like sand
I think Michigan is probably the only neat one.
Erie and Ontario are kind of mehhhhhhhhhhh... I'd almost rather go to like Oneida lake instead.
Yeah even, like, dried sweat really gets to me
