    I think this is a case of “The internet can take the niche 120 people out of the 8 billion on Earth and make them seem like they’re normal and everyone is like them”. Loud voice, itty bitty percentage of the population. If you go to “car-fuckers.com” you’ll leave thinking 4 out of 10 men have sex with their car and that’s why shows like Top Gear/Grand Tour are popular lol

      I think you want to be right, but you should probably prove yourself right by signing up for a bateworld account and see for yourself. You’re probably meaning well, being a happily married, hetero male, and don’t want to believe that some of the hetero males you wave to as you drive past them, some of your cousins, or even your favorite co-worker with a wife and five kids, are probably on that web site jerking off to it. *edit: also, the web site has been making money for over 20 years. It’s always been chock full of married straight males.
