I guess I'm either too kinky to understand why the tree specifically supports gay sex (per the article), or I'm not quite kinky enough to understand why...

Sounds like a good tree for all kinds of sex, to me?

Edit: Also, all trees are fuck trees. Anyone with seasonal allergies can attest that trees fuck on humans way more often than we fuck on trees.

Edit 2: I don't mean to diminish this trees special accomplishment as a sex ambassador, though.

Edit 3: I should have written down my notes while I tried to puzzle the exact implications out. It could have been popular if I included some drawings.

This article is helpful, I think it's "gay sex" bc it's the MSM community that cruises in that particular forest. Verse other locations for dogging, which isn't a queer culture thing, it's a voyeuristic & exhibitionist activity

But yeah. Just a good tree to fuck on, however the orgy at midnight is very well attended by MSM

Versus?

Can confirm, seasonal allergies. Get face-fucked by mother nature on the daily.

"It is noted for its slender trunk which facilitates gay sex."

Huh?

Bottoms bend over it, and they arrange themselves on alternating sides as people join, "creating a pleasing symmetry"

Was hoping this video piece Fuck Tree, by Liz Rosenfield, would illuminate that, but the vid isn't online (good for the artist), and the descriptions aren't giving details.

Shel Silverstein's lesser known adult version of The Giving Tree. 😏

The whole wood thing is like an epiphany.

sessile oak? as opposed to ents?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Apparently, it refers to the attachment of the acorns, with the caps are directly attached to the branch, rather than on a little twig like the English oak.
