        LMAO, probably more than you’d think. Also, lots of cucks and hotwifing/sharing in the army/marines.

          I’d heard rumors.

          Or maybe rather uh… barking and whimpering.

          Also totally makes sense that Army/Marines have just fully gotten onboard with hotwiving and cuckoldry… its… essentially legendary how unfaithful a huge number of military wives are.

          I guess just actually codifying and normalizing that is superior to the old way of dealing with it, which was family secrets, alcoholism, murder, etc.

            Yeah, military wives are accurately portrayed as unfaithful, obviously I’m not saying all, but it’s very common. They are fairly often strippers or former strippers as well. There is an abundance of strip clubs around military bases. Prostitutes following armies during conflict is as old a story as both professions. Young people in their physical peak (both strippers and soldiers) being around others at their physical peak, it’s just nature, like sex at the Olympics.

            Also… People that join the army have no shame. Not even sexual, but weird naked shit happened all the time. One guy came in while me and my roommate were playing guitar hero. Dude just had a towel on. Pulls it off and starts helicoptering while my guy was trying to play guitar hero. It kept getting weirder til we joked if he could helicopter and hit the strum thing while someone hit the buttons. It didn’t work so he tried using his hand to move his dick to strum it. Better, but still failed. So you just get normalized to weird naked stuff, sexual or not. Then there’s the guys that know the stereotype, and are comfortable, and just have a buddy “look after” their wife while deployed. For the stereotype of the military being tough straight edge men, there’s a lot of liberal sexual practices. Hell, me and my roommate in Iraq shared pics of our gfs.

            The air force is just… Different. They’re considered “the dorky” branch. They do get better food, better housing, and average higher test scores. It makes sense you’d get a nerdier group. That doesn’t mean they’re less sexual. I dated an air force girl for a bit and despite her innocent, naive, nerdy outward nature, she was a sexually aggressive woman who knew what she wanted. The air force benefits from more women in their branch. But they’re still military.

            I never really met many navy people, so I can’t say much about them. I certainly never got close enough to find out personal things from them, let alone enough to get an idea of sexual preferences.

              I’m sorry but I’m literally bi, and my reaction to the helicopter guitar hero story was to outloud say ‘that’s gayer than I am what the fuck!’

              Like, that’s ‘cheesy gay porno plot - chapter 1’.

              Yeah… yeah.

              I’ve known a … decent deal of … what I would basically call ‘totally not gay, for reals’ dude bros, high school / college guys with no conception of boundaries or consent.

              Like… I did karate for a pretty long time, saw a lot of dongs in the dressing room… but like… you’d get permanently banned from a dojo for doing that.

              I guess its just the uh, Spartan culture re-emerging… shove enough nearly naked dudes into cramped quarters and uh … norms change hahaha.

              I guess I’d be more ‘air force’ in the sense that I’m an autistic nerd, and uh, yeah, you don’t have to tell me that plenty of nerds are actually total freaks in the sheets lol.

              I’ve known some navy dudes, but 1] they were submariners, so thats a bit more intense than most other kinds of Navy situations 2] didn’t know them well enough to know their sexual habits, but at least the submariners I knew came across as brash, in your face, basically assholes, but who would flip on a dime to being holier than thou, restrained and ‘reasonable’ “experts” about shit they assumed they knew more about than they actually did.

              In particular, one submariner I knew, he appointed himself squad leader in like a day long Arma 2 campaign… dude literally had us marching around the map in circles, because we were using mods that made it so you had to actually use a map, a compass, landmarks, stars… no gps / ‘you are here’ map indicators.

              He couldn’t do any of that correctly, at all, and we literally spent 8 hours being lost, don’t think we ever got anywhere near our objective.

              But he was extremely certain he knew where we were and which way to go and what landmark was what.

              This is also so stupid and stereotypical that I still feel like I’m lying when I say ‘the submariner had no idea how to landnav’ is basically that entire story.
