Was considering restarting BJJ but delta kinda ruined it.
That and no restrictions. I know I’m vaccinated and I bet many classmates would be too but still plenty of chances to spread it.
Constant exposure means constant war. Remember we largely evolved in an environment where our number of contacts were low, inter-regional mixing was low, and we didn’t spend a lot of time indoors with strangers. Communicable disease is a consequence of urban society. We are fortunate to have highly adaptable immune systems but there are costs with auto-immune diseases, allergies, etc. then to complicate matters it seems that even good hygiene can have negative impacts such as asthma.
Gonna be vulnerable a bit here and accept the fact that this might mean I carry around some latent homophobia, and/or that I’m not secure enough with my sexuality, but regardless I was a little uncomfortable with the positions and awkwardly intimate nature of BJJ. Like you’re all over each other and frequently in positions that are pretty explicitly sexual in nature. Made me mildly uncomfortable at times.

Yeah that’s kinda weird. Literally the last thing on my mind when I’m trying to choke/not get choked by another guy is sex.
It’s more like that with girls. Whenever I rolled with girls I was conscious of not putting my hands anywhere that would be considered inappropriate.

Weird thing is the Kosher basics make a lot of microbiology sense in pre-refrigeration times.
I’ve made a couple of Kosher products and it’s mostly voodoo now.
I believe Chris Rock has a joke about how kosher made sense in Biblical times because back then a pork sandwich could kill you.
When people do north-south position for the first time, it feels awfully close to 69ing.

That’s because it IS awfully close.
When practicing, people normally have the dignity to keep their head off-center to avoid the possible stank. Also makes it easier to breathe to not be smothered by the gut (or worse) of your opponent.
There’s one girl in a class of all guys (though she doesn’t always show). The amount of confidence you have to have to be in that situation is pretty insane.

Sounds like you need to be more adventurous in bed, IMO.

It can also kill you in the near future when they Facebook University Graduates decide that food safety protocols are as much of a hoax as vaccines. LOL SHEEPLE YOU JUST REGRIDERATE MEAT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU TO!!! MY OBESE BODY’S NATURAL DEFENSES WILL PROTECT ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I think it’s more like that when you’re a newb because you don’t know what you’re doing. I brought up north-south because I nearly put my crotch in my partner’s face the first time I was in it. Super-embarrassing.

It’s another thing to worry about and it definitely adds a challenge.

My ex hated when I would play around and do bjj moves in bed when we were cuddling
Vaccinated people should be item 2½ on that list.
Did we ever figure out if humans can give dogs rona? My poor puppets loves giving me kisses and she’s big sad I haven’t given her any for nearly a week

Yes, but idk how you’d realistically be able to socially distance yourself from your doggo.
Imagine if minorities were the primary people not getting vaccinated. The unvaccinated would already be banned from hospitals.
