What’s the alternative? Say nothing? That makes you look guilty. When a bombshell allegation is made, you have no option but to address it. Either you control the narrative, or someone else will. But you also don’t want additional questions, hence the “leave us alone” ending. To build on your fire anology, saying…

I can only speak for cis hetero encounters... but how could you think she wouldn’t notice? Or are you relying on your partner knowing but not objecting? I’d fully endorse insect-style tearing off of genitals, in either case.

oh sorry, it’s L’Orange de Julius. c’est bon?

Wait, is the plural of soap... soaps?
