Yeah I think this one is pretty much what it says on the tin.

    Sometimes I wonder if I am demisexual because the only real people that end up in my spank bank are people I like being around, not because of their looks. At the same time, tho, I have no problem sleeping with people I just met and know nothing about. 🤷‍♂️

      Is it? Seems like it being the proper noun of this, it would be separated in proper grammar by a comma.

          I had a question mark. I can’t tell if you are trying to be unhelpful or just trolling.

            Ok. Since you seem to be genuine, I’ll put in the work.

            1. Proper nouns don’t get automatically separated; they get capitalized.

            2. Maybe I’m reading too deep into “the proper noun of this”, but a proper noun is not generally a structural component of a sentence. Properness is an aspect of a noun.

            3. ‘True love’ is the ‘subject’ of the sentence, but it is not normally considered a proper noun. A proper noun is the title or name of a noun, such as: Brian, Marseilles, or Shake Weight.

            4. You may be misapplying the rule about directly addressing someone (or something). You would write: “Jimmy, get down from there,” or “Get down from there, Jimmy,” but you wouldn’t write “I’m going to, Walmart, for groceries.” This usage is often a proper noun, but it doesn’t need to be, such as in “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”

              Yeah meant subject, meh, my English teacher grandmother would be as equally frustrated with me as she has always been.

              But also I would still argue True Love is a proper noun of a named thing. We all recognize it as a component of a spell or a macguffin of a story.

              So in this case I am providing a definition of a word such as one for a spelling bee. Thus it introduces a pause when spoken.

                Commas are not pauses though. You dont put a comma just because you would put a pause in a spoken sentence. They are a part of grammar meant to reduce ambiguity by separating parts of a sentence.

                Very often, you can remove the part separated by the comma and still end up with a full sentence (the “very often” can be removed). If you remove the “True Love” from your post, the rest is not a sentence anymore (here the whole “if …” part can be removed).

                Just accept that the comma is wrong…

                  Actually commas are specifically to be read as a pause. One that I did want to be read in there.

                  It may have been silly but, that is how I said it aloud and how I wanted it to be read. While it may have been extra, that is what I was going for.

      Since both this guy’s responses are still not very clear, he’s saying that older couples who have nude pictures/ videos of each other from when they were younger will eventually want more “recent” material to better represent the person they love now, rather than the person they loved then.

      Also if it is spank bank getting you, that is a euphemism for place you store memories that make you more tingly than normal good.

      Sure you can live in the dream of a perfect past. Or you can accept the wrinkles and changing reality of what you love and keep enjoying even as it is changing when you think about what you love.

      Or what you think of in your past with what you love, you keep doing in the now you to enjoy it again and get a fresh memory.

    Not love, just aging. I have friends who watch a show about college guys who play hockey. I don’t really get it.

      They love hockey and want something new to fill their holes with, heart or otherwise.
