Offtopic but downvoting people is such a complicated pain in the ass.
If someone's above zero it's perfectly fine and nobody ever gets mad.
If someone's below zero there's the chance that rude people block you along with those other people.
If you're the only person voting a low traffic zero-vote post down people take notice and become upset.
I only feel free to thumb people as an anon now one reason why I made this account in the first place is so that my votes always "work". 100% of the people who have blocked me accused me of spamming people with redthumbs for no reason but the kicker is that what they got mad at me for wasn't even putting a post into the negatives.
In conclusion: I have a 10 ft. pole up my ass right now.
I read about this! ..because it usually gives me a boner to comfort my girlfriend when she's upset/crying.. It usually has to do with one of two things:
1.) You're a sadist.
2.) The more common reason, your body reacts to the emotional intimacy of comforting the person you care about. It's creating a bond between both of you and you're becoming closer as a result. During that, your brain (if I remember correctly) releases some of the same chemicals/hormones that are released during arousal, which can sometimes result in.. well.. arousal.
So let it happen! It just means you love each other Unless you're a sadist, then you should just feel ashamed you dirty-dirty-birdy~
Same thing with me! I'm pretty aroused most of the time anyway, but I'm basically rock-hard the whole time she's around me. A 6 hour erection is not a happy erection..
