    Look bud. All I’m saying is that when the porn site algorithms have a stroke and think I’m into that kind of stuff, 7 times out of 10 the title is in german.

      So, this happened to you at least ten times. Hate to be the one breaking this to you but it might not be the algorithm stroking out.

        Okay, so my first thought was “Skat,” which is the name of a pretty popular old man card game (not in a bad way, I enjoy playing it very much, but I encounter it in similar situations to euchre or pinochle).

        Maybe it’s just a false cognate, which would be a great setup for a joke, if there was an audience that knew about both Skat and the scat stereotype. Unfortunately, I think I’ll be sitting on this one for a while.

      I’m living in Germany again now and I’ve brought this up occasionally with people when we’ve reached the comfortable talking about kinks stage, but it’s a surprise to everyone so far. Germans do definitely like anal more than Americans IME, but not because of the poop, lol. Maybe it’s the Austrians 🤷

        Ah, yeah, that’s probably it. I heard Hitler was really into it. After the war they found his internet search history was full of it.
