Why is the game called 'rim world' lmao? Is this game about a world where people rim each other? ;)

Rimworlds: Planets lacking in strong central government and low in population density. These places tend to hover around the industrial level of technology or lower. Because they’re not homogenized by a central government, they tend to see a lot of interaction between people of different technology levels, as travelers crashland or ancient communities stumble out of their cryptosleep vaults. These planets are often at the rim of known space, hence the name.

When the first thing you do is associate the word 'rim' with a sexual term that's on you bro. That just show's you've been watching too much porn.

I dont watch porn, i just have sex instead, ive never understood why people watch porn when sex is as easy as it is to get, well sex is easy for gay guys like myself to get anyway

"Sex positive" asexual here. I don't like having sex. But I appreciate porn. Sex is....much better in theory than in practice for me. ( And before some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chimes in, no, that doesn't mean I'm bad at it. My exes' and my wife's complaint on that topic was never that they weren't satisfied, just that I don't do it frequently enough. )

It must be quite interesting to have the worldview that everything that you enjoy everyone else enjoys, too, and that everything you know is common knowledge. Almost as if other people don't live vastly different lifes and have vastly different interests where they don't do what you do.

Could it be that you might live in small bubble and rarely talk to people out of your group?

So exactly what are you getting attracted too in porn if you're asexual? I'm honestly curious because asexual means you have no desire for sexual intercourse, direct or indirect.

Sex is sex. Porn is porn. At some point, especially in stable relationship with a woman, you need to go both ways... well... that of course depends on your needs. If you say that your needs are covered it never means a thing, because other people may have actually much higher needs. Having said that - porn is good only for smart people. It delivers as long as somebody know how to use it. There are many people who suffer from being overly dependent on porn, since at some point porn becomes something easier, more available and just less problematic than standard intercourse. In this case I understand being smart as knowing this and not going this way.

And some weirdo probably think about sex everytime he read/hear the word "football", the word "job" or the word "♥♥♥♥". Everything can be sexualized.

Porn isn't good, and it in truth does not have benefits for both the watcher and the actors. The watcher may have their moment of pleasure, but reality will dawn of them which makes the 'act' a very temporary rather than permanent fix. The actors also don't bode well either, since they're often abused, paid squat or manipulated into doing these scenes for the films.

It's better to permanently drop porn altogether. Sex is a cardinal desire that isn't needed like food, and you can ultimately become more productive and happier by abstinence.

Ok, but the developers must've realised how sexual the games title sounds. And umm... how is someone supposed to rim themselves lol? like... how is someone supposed to bend so far downwards and backwards in order to get their mouth to their own bum?

I don't think an adult is going to worry overmuch about using a sensible, descriptive, title if there's a translation that can associate part of it with a slang verb...

It's a world.

It's on the "Rim" of the galaxy.

The rest... is just juvenile giggling. It's at the level of "It's not really funny. But if you want to laugh at it, I guess that's a bonus."

And, yes, those little bits of giggling in the back of the classroom during the equivalent of gradeschool Human Anatomy class... are also bits of free marketing. JEEENEEYOOS!

No it doesn't. It means you don't experience sexual attraction to any gender. That doesn't mean you're incapable of getting aroused. The term refers to a sexual orientation, which describes what GENDER arouses you. Lack of libido is something completely different. And while it does often go along with asexuality, it doesn't always. That's why many will categorize it as sex positive, sex negative, or sex neutral asexuality.

For me it's not necessarily the people or their gender. It's watching people experiencing the pleasure. I can stare at naked people all day and nada. Can even watch them grind on each other, but if they're not into it....nope.

Benefit for my partner is that if they're not enjoying it, I get nowhere either. So when something DOES happen, I do my best to make sure they're happy.

But for me personally, the downside is I ALSO have a low libido.

( Also I am one who appreciates the beauty of the human form in artwork. Doesn't AROUSE me, but I admire it... )

( And we should probably drop this line of conversation now, miiiiiiiiiight be overstepping the community rules with this topic. XD )

Seriously, there are plenty of non-sexual uses of the word "Rim" that are far more common than the sexual usage of the word. Does this guy also giggle like a schoolchild at the name of...well, any sport that contains "ball" in the name because "ball" is slang for testicle?

[Banana Duck ඞ]

ok guys, i didnt know that 'rim' had another meaning to it, i only knew of the meaning of it of the meaning that i knew, ive never heard of the word 'rim' being used in any other context before

[Sokrates]

I would like developer input on this... XD
