A quick definition of ducking stool:

A ducking stool is a device used in the past to punish people who were considered scolds or troublemakers. The person would be strapped to a chair and repeatedly plunged underwater. It was also used to punish bakers and brewers by dunking them into stinky water. The device was also known as a cucking stool or trebucket. It was mentioned by the ancient Saxons and in Domesday Book. The punishment was meant to shame the person and make them stop their bad behavior.

A more thorough explanation:

A ducking stool is a device used in the past to punish scolds, bakers, and brewers. It involves repeatedly plunging them underwater as a form of correction. The device is also known as a castigatory, cucking stool, or trebucket.

The ancient Saxons referred to it as a "scealfing stole," and it was mentioned in the Domesday Book as a "cathedra stercoralis." The punishment was often carried out by dunking the offender into "stinking water" or a midden.

For example, if a woman was convicted of being a common scold, she would be sentenced to sit in the ducking stool. The stool would then be plunged into the water, and the woman would be repeatedly dunked as punishment.

The use of the ducking stool was eventually phased out as society moved away from physical punishment as a means of correction.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

babycat
14:59

but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk

I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat

@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them
Dkk

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy
