For the uninitiated (and I can understand why)…the above named actors both portrayed “Mr. Lonely, The Maytag repairman” on TV in 1970s and 80s…but I digress….
With the various fundie marbles still rolling around in Joyce’s head despite her best efforts to dislodge them, what do you think the odds are that she chooses the exact same dryer, and would feel like she was being unfaithful if she used another?
My headcanon is she confesses this to Sarah whose response is “for fux sake dotty” and helps Joyce buy a vibe online (BC Joyce refuses to go to an adult store even if I would kill to see the whole crew browsing). I reckon she’d end up with a cute animal shaped one since a peen would be too threatening even though she secretly judges then based on the realism. In the end she can’t bring herself to do that to the cute lil animal which is why Sarah bought a safe basic wand as a back up.
I doubt we’ll get to see them browsing a sex shop unless Willis decides to make up a fictional one, as the real one in town (I think there’s currently one, I recall hearing there were two or three a couple years back but I don’t think that’s the case anymore, also only one of them was within reasonable distance to the campus AFAIK) doesn’t allow photography inside (for hopefully obvious reasons) and it is my understanding that Willis prefers to take ample reference photos for the sake of accurately reproducing the locations he sets his scenes in.
DOROTHY:
I’ve created a monster!
Cause nobody wants to see Dorothy no more
They want CumLincoln, I’m chopped liver!
Well if you want to see Joyce O this is what I’ll give ya
A little laundry laced with BL fanfic, ah!
I feel like there are probably a few steps between using a dryer to masturbate and directly involving a partner in getting off, like using her own hands or toys.
i don’t think so. This would only be the second time she’d have gotten off and I don’t think the risk of people walking in seems to factor at all. It really seems like it’s just not her touching herself so she can get around her baggage. But she is incredibly horny and it gives a rush of endorphins
Joyce the Laundry Hydra. Wash one head’s clothes and two more shall grow in its place!! Fortunately unless she wears lots of hats, that is still all the laundry done.
Kink: Something unusual you enjoy doing as part of sexy times.
Fetish: Something unusual you NEED to include in your sexy times.
Paraphelia: Having a conditioned arousal reaction to an unusual stimulus.
This is probably a kink, except Joyce is treating as if it were a fetish, since it keeps her from having to touch herself. If she keeps this up, I definitely could see it becoming a paraphelia–she enters a laundromat, etc, and suddenly starts feeling funny,. I doubt it’d become a fetish, though, as that would mean she couldn’t get off except on top of a dryer, and I suspect her visualizations right now are quite happily involving Joe.
Yes, but the sexual version of “fetish” has expanded to include activities, rather than just physical objects. Exhibitionism or voyeurism, FREX, would be considered fetishes if the individual can really only get off via such means. (Cref: Scooby-doo Fred “That’s my fetish!” meme, which is almost always used for ‘activity’ fetishes.)
Thanks for the correct spelling of paraphilia, though.
Joe’s only hope is to go all Adeptus Mechanicus on himself. Give up on the frailty of flesh, Rosenthal, and embrace the strength and certainty of steel.
I wonder what Joe’s stamina is like. I only say that cuz that seems like a pretty fast recharge time on Joyce’s part and I think he should be prepared.
I think this is later after sleeping, though I could be wrong. Either way, Joyce has got plenty of stamina to deal with her pent up horniness. Can you imagine not discovering masturbation until you are 18? That would drive most people up a wall, though not all.
I definitely fall into that not all. I knew of masturbation before then of course, but I hadn’t actually done it until right around the time as Joyce here. I didn’t go crazy on it though, to be honest. It became a once maybe every week or two thing for me, both because I had a roommate to be careful of and because even to this day (around 7 years later), I still don’t feel the urge to do so unless I’m with my partner a lot in a short period of time.
I forget who said this, maybe Sarah, maybe Billie, but the prediction was she stumble her way into her first orgasm and it would be over. “Blow the whole football team.” or something. This could actually be terrifying.
What Jason deserves: a witty bon mot re: his sins, canned laughter, a rimshot
What Jason will get: an entire diorama exhibit Ruth lovingly handcrafted re: his sins, a live studio audience from the Apollo, Monty Python fanfare performed by live orchestra
Billie recommended that she use her newfound reproductive freedom to, if she so desired, blow the entire football team, but ‘twas Ruth that prophesied Joyce would pratfall into the big O and bang half the town like “a frenzied Tasmanian devil”.
Luckily, the dryers in the laundry room are unwed and would be very lucky to be poly-married to Joyce Hannah Brown. Today can be their wedding, and their honeymoons.
Billie AND Ruth both made separate prognostications on the depth of Joyce’s sexual thirst, the true ferocity of her lust wolves unshackled? Wow they really were meant to be together.
Billie/Ruth/Jacob hatefuck threesome Slipshine, coming this November. WITNESS ME. I SPEAK WILLIS’ ACTIONS, HIS ARM DANCES TO MY THOUGHTS! IÄ! YOG-SOTHOTH!!
In college I generally kept my laundry pretty tidy, but only because my bedroom floor was already occupied by notes and old tests and assignments and other paperwork in what I called my “piling cabinet.”
I never used the floor (had a nice laundry bag), but one of my roommates did, and it was gross. It got to the point where you could see the dividing line in the room because my side had floor and her side had nothing but dirty laundry.
Actually, Joyce, you aren’t doing any laundry right now; *Dorothy* is doing your laundry. If you are going back to the laundry room anyway I hope you at least take responsibility for your stuff.
Nice to know that Sarah is as bad as I am about keeping dirty socks together. (Not that I ever wear socks if I can help it, but occasionally it’s beyond my control.)
One of the absolute best things I ever asked for in my life was multiple pairs of the same socks. One of many reasons I love my wife is because she gave them to me for my birthday about 4 years ago. She found a sleeve of 15 identical pairs of socks. Now, I never have to dig through laundry to find a matched pair. First two socks I grab? Fold em up and move on.
Do people not buy mostly matching socks? Mine have looked the same for nearly a decade. The only time they don’t match is if one is slightly more worn than the other. I don’t have the patience to sift through the laundry basket hoping to find a matching pair. Way better to just reach in and grab whatever’s closest.
Now, I do have more “interesting” socks (as if I need people scrutinising my socks to make sure they’re entertaining enough lol), but they’re all novelty character prints with stuff like Sonic and Goku and Scooby-Doo on them, so mismatching is part of the point. Those are worn for outings with people I actually give a shit about though, not to the grocery store to buy milk.
All of my socks come from the Awesome Sock Club (courtesy of the Vlogbrothers initative to reduce/eliminate maternal death in Sierra Leone). They are thus all very brightly patterned, but also all the same TYPE of sock (length, feel on foot, etc). So I happily wear them mistmatched.
If Joyce goes to Joe’s room to seek out more laundry to do she’ll pick up the wrong sock and be cured of her sexual interest in him faster that Dorothy can fill out a repair request form.
Knowing Joyce and her recent discoveries, I doubt she put pants on. Shorts? Maybe. Skirt? I don’t know if Joyce even owns a skirt but that would allow easy access so also maybe.
there is a patreon strip that if it is happening same day, indicates that she put on a different pair of pajama pants (and also that she didn’t seem worried about the dryer dent)
“Oh, THAT’S what you’re sneaking off to do? Pfft, please. Get on my level.”
*opens drawer filled with a dizzying panoply of toys*
*Joyce reaches for a massive Hitachi*
“Whoa there Slick, that’s not for rookies. You get… The Noisy Cricket.”
Hopefully Joyce will soon realize the benefits of “doing laundry” in your room, when Sarah isn’t there, or in the shower perhaps. Though doing it in the shower depends on how loud you are when doing the deed.
This whole time I’ve been thinking Dorothy, you’re not teaching her how to masturbate, you’re teaching her how to masturbate with a laundry machine. And yep, confirmed
Well see, Joyce wants to use the washing machine because it’s a hands-free experience. Remember what she said how using the fingers makes it “real”? Dorothy didn’t teach her how to masturbate, she gave Joyce a method to do so without violating her (currently crumbling) system of beliefs. She’s not giving Joyce a fixation so much as an outlet for something that was already bothering her.
Well, Sarah, considering EVERYTHING that the Internet taught us and showed us is possible, everything that can ACTUALLY BE DONE BY REAL PEOPLE TO OTHER REAL PEOPLE IN THE REAL WORLD, if ya think about it, masturbation is, YES, quite… Stupidly innocent.
And here’s something I was very worried about: Joyce’s primary sexual outlet was already incredibly unrealistic slash fiction by Amber. Dorothy knew this and then convinced her to masturbate for the first time in public. There really needs to be a conversation about this not at all being the norm.
Oh no. Joyce is so entangled in Dorothy’s grasp that she is actively seeking reasons to go back to the laundry room. She has no will in this. She is just baby.
Sarah views masturbation as innocent. (I do too, now, although I hadn’t really thought about in in a while, and felt really ashamed of it as a teen.) That’s what I think tbh.
She’s mostly just thinking “it’s not drug use related and she’s not going to deliberately cause property damage”
You don’t really need to find out what’s goin’ on
You don’t really wanna know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
I don’t know, Joyce is the one making her expanse contract and aeon become instant (hue hue hue)
Although Dorothy would be the one to attempt to commit suicide by Lightwarden only to get gunned down by Emet-Sarah, furious about the misuse of her sock of eld
Odds of other people using the room for it’s intended purpose…?
Seriously, someone needs to get Joyce a wand. A gentle beginners wand. She doesn’t have to touch herself, she can do it through her undies, but it’s a step in the right direction towards actually… embracing that self stimulation is okay to do.
Generally speaking I wouldn’t say that vibration being how someone really gets introduced to masturbation is a good thing- learning about one’s own body without tools is the way to go, but sometimes tools are necessary, and given Joyce’s difficulties with what she’s learned, she’s in that camp, at least right now. Maybe in time she would have come to masturbation without any mechanical aid, but I’m fairly confident Dorothy wanted to introduce Joyce to masturbation and orgasms to stop her from throwing herself at Joe.
Yeah, well, I certainly understand why some people didn’t want to read the comments during this arc. It hasn’t been an inviting place for people to go rummaging around to see if this question has been answered already.
Not in my experience, but I haven’t gone out of my way to find out. The impression that I get from others is that it isn’t unheard of, but it’s probably more likely that a rumbling dryer (or electric toothbrush, or videogame controller etc) is more likely to be an incidental introduction to the idea of self stimulation rather than actually being sought out as a masturbatory aid.
If Joyce isn’t ready to use her fingers, I doubt very much she’s ready for a vibrator. After all, if the intentionality of using her fingers “makes it real”, how real does it become when you go out and spend your hard earned on a purpose built machine for it?
Clearly the next step is to borrow Booster’s Switch.
It seemed pretty strongly implied that she did use her fingers. That’s why she had Dorothy leave. But she had to get herself worked up to the edge before she could take that step.
Which is what the dryer helps with.
I absolutely do not disagree. But I also think that one time is not likely to be enough to fully break down that barrier to the point that she’s going to be comfortable buying a sex toy. That small step is still a little further in the future, I think.
Also, I wanted to make a silly joke about other avenues of youthful sexual exploration with the vibrating game controller.
Problem with it, however, is that banging people is hardly a ticket to o-town for most straight women. I mean, the success rate in the comic seems unrealistically high, but IRL Joyce would be in for a lot of disappointments.
You take the Horny Express. It stops at Dry Hump Hill, Makeout Point, Fellatio Falls, and Cunnilingus County Courthouse before the final stop at O-town.
I think Dorothy may have screwed up.
In her attempts to give Joyce post N clarity, she instead introduced her to the world of hanky panky.
Now she wants it
Now she seeks it
Soon she may seek Joe
Where is my NSFW fanart of a sexually disheveled Joyce clinging to an anthropomorphized dryer with bedroom eyes. Where IS it, Yoto? I need it. I crave CONTENT!!
(This is enormously a joke, I would never seriously request art less than politely and believe artists should be paid for their time.)
Honestly, maybe this opens some more sisterly antics between Sarah and Joyce, since we know Sarah has one. It’s not uncommon for groups of gals to go shopping for these things together in solidarity and potential knowledge.
I mean there’s always the internet but I would fear what Joyce would do if she saw all the different options on say, Amazon.
Though I suppose with how much crap they gave each other about it before, perhaps Joyce isn’t comfortable or hasn’t even thought of it.
I’d recommend buying one of those old Harry Potter Nimbus 5000 brooms, probably won’t run into any problems from your lgbtq friends if you got it on the secondary market so Rowling won’t get any money from it, and you could say it’s to stick it to your conservative religious upbringing that would have banned Harry Potter stuff.
They only made the vibrating broomsticks for the first couple movies, maybe even just the first one – there were some articles and push back, so it’s impossible now to buy one in a way that gets Terf Of The Author any money. Go wild!
Joyce is going to find that there are several other people doing laundry and this will leave her very frustrated. Will this lead to her setting her phone to vibrate and calling herself repeatedly while holding it “downstairs”?
I’m just gonna say it, Joyce needs a sybian, but like altered so the main part is less phalic. Clearly vibrations from something she’s sitting on is where she’s at, too bad they’re so expensive and this whole process would be beyond joyce in terms of purchasing socially
I’m pretty sure there are sybians (or at least attachments for them) that have just a protrusion for clit stimulation.
another option would be something like a hitachi but buried under a couple layers of blankets
that said I don’t see joyce buying the relatively inexpensive magic wand either, at least not as like, the first thing she gets. that also might cause a lot of fights in a dorm considering loud
Joyce would probably prefer a vibrating grinder to any penetrating sex toys. She’s… Probably more sensitive down there than average? It would explain part of why she hasn’t experimented much before. If it’s sensitive enough, thinks that other people typical get pleasure from might be painful to her.

With the various fundie marbles still rolling around in Joyce’s head despite her best efforts to dislodge them, what do you think the odds are that she chooses the exact same dryer, and would feel like she was being unfaithful if she used another?
She will arrive to find it murdered, fortunately this death will forever conceal its illicit affair with her best friend Dorothy.
Holy shit. She’s going to think SHE broke it with the sin of lust and confess the entire thing, isn’t she??
My headcanon is she confesses this to Sarah whose response is “for fux sake dotty” and helps Joyce buy a vibe online (BC Joyce refuses to go to an adult store even if I would kill to see the whole crew browsing). I reckon she’d end up with a cute animal shaped one since a peen would be too threatening even though she secretly judges then based on the realism.

No, she just didn’t teach her next step, that’s use a friend to cum.
I feel like there are probably a few steps between using a dryer to masturbate and directly involving a partner in getting off, like using her own hands or toys.
Plot twist: Sarah actually knows that Joyce is horny, she just doesn’t want to get caught up in baby’s first orgasms.
I mean, even if you do know, it’s still pretty innocent, Sarah.
SockItToMeSockItToMeSockItToMeSockItToMeSockItToMe…
“Sock it to HIM, not me?” Unused “Laugh-In” joke.
Sarah, you’ve sat on a dryer with her before. You should KNOW what she’s doing.
Was that canon?
No, it was a dryer.
Smartass lol
It’s a shot drier, so you can understand the confusion.
Oh, Dorothy…what hath thou wrought?
Some kind of kink, it would seam.
Don’t worry, the Dryers are very good at getting kinks out of your wrinkled clothing.
Take the clothes out and hang them up as soon as possible after the dryer finishes, and they should be barely wrinkled in the first place.
If you take clothes out immediately, they tend not to kink and will fold on their seams quite well.
When Joyce does finally do it with a partner, she discovers that she can climax only if there’s a basket of fresh laundry next to the bed.
i don’t think so. This would only be the second time she’d have gotten off and I don’t think the risk of people walking in seems to factor at all. It really seems like it’s just not her touching herself so she can get around her baggage. But she is incredibly horny and it gives a rush of endorphins

I feel like this metaphor can go some unfortunate places.
Unfortunate? Or delightful? 😏🦑
Time to place your bets on who will catch Joyce on the dryer first.
Joe. It just has to be.
We can hope.
Becky?
I’m betting there will be someone already camping in the laundry room, waiting for a cycle to finish. Awkwardness ensues.
Always beautiful to watch a kink being born.
(Or is this a fetish?)
Yes.
I think something needs time to be a fetish.
Kink: Something unusual you enjoy doing as part of sexy times.
Fetish: Something unusual you NEED to include in your sexy times.
Paraphelia: Having a conditioned arousal reaction to an unusual stimulus.
This is probably a kink, except Joyce is treating as if it were a fetish, since it keeps her from having to touch herself. If she keeps this up, I definitely could see it becoming a paraphelia–she enters a laundromat, etc, and suddenly starts feeling funny,. I doubt it’d become a fetish, though, as that would mean she couldn’t get off except on top of a dryer, and I suspect her visualizations right now are quite happily involving Joe.
Fetish: A physical object that turns you on.
Paraphilia.
Original meaning of “fetish”: object of worship in various religions in the African rainforest.
Yes, but the sexual version of “fetish” has expanded to include activities, rather than just physical objects. Exhibitionism or voyeurism, FREX, would be considered fetishes if the individual can really only get off via such means. (Cref: Scooby-doo Fred “That’s my fetish!” meme, which is almost always used for ‘activity’ fetishes.)
Thanks for the correct spelling of paraphilia, though.
Frex? I’m only getting results for some sort of business and a musician.
Well, that’s it. The other ships are sunk. Dorothy x Joyce? Busted. Joe x Joyce? Never happening. They can’t give her what she needs.
This is the endgame, people. Joyce x Maytag.
Get ready for “High Heat Tumble-Dry: A Dumbing of Age Pornographique”.
I ship it.
Joe, you’re big, and you’re square, but you can’t violently shake.
I bet he doesn’t even have separate settings for high heat, low heat, and delicates. How could he hope to challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
Joe may have a great ass, but Maytag can get her off and heat up blankets on those cold winter days. This is a wash.
I’m not convinced that Joe couldn’t violently shake.
He sure could, if he’s being all cute and nervous, because Joyce is on top of him.
Joe’s only hope is to go all Adeptus Mechanicus on himself. Give up on the frailty of flesh, Rosenthal, and embrace the strength and certainty of steel.
I mean he could probably just kinda vibrate softly while Joyce is sitting on him. That might work.
brb dying xD
Joyce x Colin Ferguson.
Maybe trailing off right away wasn’t such a bright idea.
Then again, accusing Joyce is hard.
What was that about pratfalling into the first orgasm again?
The confirmation at the end should definitely be concerning, Sarah.
So Joyce was actually being honest before (and wasn’t just being in denial?), she’s never masturbated (to the point of orgasm?) in her life before?
If so, I can definitely see her going through a brief hypersexual period with what’s been “unlocked”.
My head canon is that her previous orgasms were happy accidents. So not sinful.
I wonder what Joe’s stamina is like. I only say that cuz that seems like a pretty fast recharge time on Joyce’s part and I think he should be prepared.
I think this is later after sleeping, though I could be wrong. Either way, Joyce has got plenty of stamina to deal with her pent up horniness. Can you imagine not discovering masturbation until you are 18? That would drive most people up a wall, though not all.
I was maybe like 15 before I’d done it so kinda…I think so anyway. I didn’t mark it down in my calendar.
I definitely fall into that not all. I knew of masturbation before then of course, but I hadn’t actually done it until right around the time as Joyce here. I didn’t go crazy on it though, to be honest. It became a once maybe every week or two thing for me, both because I had a roommate to be careful of and because even to this day (around 7 years later), I still don’t feel the urge to do so unless I’m with my partner a lot in a short period of time.
I forget who said this, maybe Sarah, maybe Billie, but the prediction was she stumble her way into her first orgasm and it would be over. “Blow the whole football team.” or something. This could actually be terrifying.
Do they even have a football team? I don’t think we’ve seen them. We should hide them, just in case.
Some guy named Tony who is son of the dean is on the football team. Maybe someone’s protecting him, maybe not.
Apparently the real IU is in the Big 10 and went 4-8 this year.
Boys, you gotta pump up those numbers if you want a Joyce Hannah Deepthroat, those are ROOKIE numbers in this racket. Joyce doesn’t suck off losers!
Yeah, that’s what Sal does!
Hold on, Sal only sucks off one loser!

…AND he’s a comp-sci major so he counts as at least three! Never mind! Toro’s ruling is correct, so say we all!
*Yoto’s ruling. Stupid phone.
Jason deserves exactly this level of shade.
That boy’s dating Ruth, we know he’s getting WAY more than that as his daily value of sass.
What Jason deserves: a witty bon mot re: his sins, canned laughter, a rimshot

Billie recommended that she use her newfound reproductive freedom to, if she so desired, blow the entire football team, but ‘twas Ruth that prophesied Joyce would pratfall into the big O and bang half the town like “a frenzied Tasmanian devil”.
Luckily, the dryers in the laundry room are unwed and would be very lucky to be poly-married to Joyce Hannah Brown. Today can be their wedding, and their honeymoons.
Billie AND Ruth both made separate prognostications on the depth of Joyce’s sexual thirst, the true ferocity of her lust wolves unshackled? Wow they really were meant to be together.
Or maybe they were both meant to be with Joyce.
Jacob also made a remark like that. That she’d suck a billion dicks.
Billie/Ruth/Jacob hatefuck threesome Slipshine, coming this November. WITNESS ME. I SPEAK WILLIS’ ACTIONS, HIS ARM DANCES TO MY THOUGHTS! IÄ! YOG-SOTHOTH!!
Jennifer also recommended she take up embroidery
In between pleasure sessions, Joyce opens a Julia Grey Etsy shop where she sells surprisingly bespoke tea cozies.
Embroidered dryers with suggestive words framing them
Anti-Joyce is still in there somewhere, and she’s as insatiable as ever.
I think Roz commented on stamina being Joe’s best quality, so he’ll probably be all right.
I appreciate the confirmation that neither of them use laundry baskets for dirty clothes and have instead committed to the floordrobe
In college I generally kept my laundry pretty tidy, but only because my bedroom floor was already occupied by notes and old tests and assignments and other paperwork in what I called my “piling cabinet.”
My room had no visible floor…. I was not well…
Piling cabinet… I’m gonna use that. And by that I mean, I’m using it already, but now I will call it that.
I never used the floor (had a nice laundry bag), but one of my roommates did, and it was gross. It got to the point where you could see the dividing line in the room because my side had floor and her side had nothing but dirty laundry.
wonder how long until she gets an Other Joe of her own
For the sake of the other dorm residents and their laundry needs, hopefully very soon.
Actually, Joyce, you aren’t doing any laundry right now; *Dorothy* is doing your laundry. If you are going back to the laundry room anyway I hope you at least take responsibility for your stuff.
Dorothy adopted responsibility for it, but she didn’t tell Joyce that, so Joyce probably was going to go back for it after her nap
Sarah has given Joybby a sock! Joybby is free to masturbate!
Tee hee
Nice to know that Sarah is as bad as I am about keeping dirty socks together. (Not that I ever wear socks if I can help it, but occasionally it’s beyond my control.)
I just pick up whatever socks are lying around, check if they look clean and wear them. A foolproof system.
At least keep the dirty clothes pile separate from the clean clothes pile…
Yeah, but what about the ‘not entirely clean, but could be worn again’ pile?
That pile goes in the middle, of course.
One of the absolute best things I ever asked for in my life was multiple pairs of the same socks. One of many reasons I love my wife is because she gave them to me for my birthday about 4 years ago. She found a sleeve of 15 identical pairs of socks. Now, I never have to dig through laundry to find a matched pair. First two socks I grab? Fold em up and move on.

If Joyce goes to Joe’s room to seek out more laundry to do she’ll pick up the wrong sock and be cured of her sexual interest in him faster that Dorothy can fill out a repair request form.
I guess even though Joyce has given up on her religion she’s still ready for…
The second Cumming.
*rimshot*
He’ll be here all week folks.
The angle is such that it remains unclear on if Joyce ever put her pants back on.
Knowing Joyce and her recent discoveries, I doubt she put pants on. Shorts? Maybe. Skirt? I don’t know if Joyce even owns a skirt but that would allow easy access so also maybe.
I noticed that.
They would just get in the way.
there is a patreon strip that if it is happening same day, indicates that she put on a different pair of pajama pants (and also that she didn’t seem worried about the dryer dent)
I would consider this pretty stupidly innocent (although preferably not done in a public laundry room, obviously)
“Oh, THAT’S what you’re sneaking off to do? Pfft, please. Get on my level.”
*opens drawer filled with a dizzying panoply of toys*
*Joyce reaches for a massive Hitachi*
“Whoa there Slick, that’s not for rookies. You get… The Noisy Cricket.”
Hopefully Joyce will soon realize the benefits of “doing laundry” in your room, when Sarah isn’t there, or in the shower perhaps. Though doing it in the shower depends on how loud you are when doing the deed.
Communal shower while wearing her juggs would be comically dangerous
Forgot about her jug sandals. Maybe she should stick to doing it in her own room.
“Doing laundry”?
Is that what the cool kids (well, Joyce, at least) are calling masturbating these days?
Obviously they were never cool, but Monica and Chandler in Friends used the laundry excuse to sneak of for pre-marital hanky panky back in the day.
Kids these days, thinking they invented everything (mutter grumble continues to shout at cloud in an aged fashion).
This whole time I’ve been thinking Dorothy, you’re not teaching her how to masturbate, you’re teaching her how to masturbate with a laundry machine. And yep, confirmed
She never used the word “how”. I feel like that matters.
Well see, Joyce wants to use the washing machine because it’s a hands-free experience. Remember what she said how using the fingers makes it “real”? Dorothy didn’t teach her how to masturbate, she gave Joyce a method to do so without violating her (currently crumbling) system of beliefs. She’s not giving Joyce a fixation so much as an outlet for something that was already bothering her.
(goddammit, my uncoordinated stupid fingers always miss “reply” and hit “flag” and I am very sorry.)
I don’t think you realize the severity of what you’ve done.
Every time you accidentally flag someone, a Republican gets closer to finding this comic.
Well, Sarah, considering EVERYTHING that the Internet taught us and showed us is possible, everything that can ACTUALLY BE DONE BY REAL PEOPLE TO OTHER REAL PEOPLE IN THE REAL WORLD, if ya think about it, masturbation is, YES, quite… Stupidly innocent.
Especially if done by a novice!
Very soon Joyce will be asking Sarah to take her vibrator shopping.
So someone is 100% gonna walk in on Joyce at some point if this becomes a regular habit
Why not wash your sheets, Joyce? 😛
And here’s something I was very worried about: Joyce’s primary sexual outlet was already incredibly unrealistic slash fiction by Amber. Dorothy knew this and then convinced her to masturbate for the first time in public. There really needs to be a conversation about this not at all being the norm.
A sock.
Just remember what you must put in a door knob when you having sex in a room.
Connect the dots…
Also the bonus strip with Joe. Pretty obvious breadcrumb trail.
Oh no, the machine is broken.
Dorothy should right an appology letter to Joyce
something something dictate it orally, Dorothy something eyyyy
Oh so when Joyce takes her roommate’s sock yo masturbate itd cute and quirky, but when I do it-
Ewww!!! Lmao!!!
Perfect avatar
Oh no. Joyce is so entangled in Dorothy’s grasp that she is actively seeking reasons to go back to the laundry room. She has no will in this. She is just baby.
I endorse the interpretation that masturbation is totally innocent (even if my phone’s text prediction thinks otherwise).
Ooh, let me try. Masturbation is {that he should not have done}
That does sound rather shamey, auto-predict. What do you have to say for yourself?
{I ll reply later but do you think you have a cute}
…I know what you’re trying to do, auto-predict. And why yes, I do have a cute, you big flirt you
Sarah views masturbation as innocent. (I do too, now, although I hadn’t really thought about in in a while, and felt really ashamed of it as a teen.) That’s what I think tbh.
She’s mostly just thinking “it’s not drug use related and she’s not going to deliberately cause property damage”
“That’s the room we go to to make things clean!”
Now would be a hilarious time to run into Joe.
They walk past each other in the hallway, each carrying only a sock.
It’s hard to not be turned on when you on bed laying down.
gotta gift her an electric shoulder massager for her birthday lol
You don’t really need to find out what’s goin’ on
You don’t really wanna know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
Joyce – get a lift into town and visit Lovers Playground on N College Ave. They sell vibrating novelties that are a lot more portable than a Maytag.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
I retract my earlier casting. Dorothy is the Exarch and Joyce is the Warrior of Darkness/Orgasms
I don’t know, Joyce is the one making her expanse contract and aeon become instant (hue hue hue)
Although Dorothy would be the one to attempt to commit suicide by Lightwarden only to get gunned down by Emet-Sarah, furious about the misuse of her sock of eld
Good grief, Dotty created a monster.
Dorothy, like Reverend Mother Gaius Mohiam, did not know the Kwisatz Haderach when she saw them
We should have guessed from those huge blue eyes.
They’re luminous, even! Blue-within-blue! The signs were all there!
LATER:
Joe: Joyce-sul has called a BIG one! Again, it is the legend!
LATER STILL:
Joyce: I remember your Maytag-Jabbar, Dorothy! Now you’ll remember mine! I can—
Becky: Goodnight everybody!
Abandoned punchline time.
“It was a small load; I did it by hand.”
NOT by hand! That makes it too real.
Nobody hold a sock like that, Joyce. The way your hold is sus.
*The way she holds it is sus.
Oh we’re still going with this huh?
This backfired WONDERFULLY!
Odds of other people using the room for it’s intended purpose…?
Seriously, someone needs to get Joyce a wand. A gentle beginners wand. She doesn’t have to touch herself, she can do it through her undies, but it’s a step in the right direction towards actually… embracing that self stimulation is okay to do.
Generally speaking I wouldn’t say that vibration being how someone really gets introduced to masturbation is a good thing- learning about one’s own body without tools is the way to go, but sometimes tools are necessary, and given Joyce’s difficulties with what she’s learned, she’s in that camp, at least right now. Maybe in time she would have come to masturbation without any mechanical aid, but I’m fairly confident Dorothy wanted to introduce Joyce to masturbation and orgasms to stop her from throwing herself at Joe.
…We will see what happens there.
Well that escalated quickly.
Think about the environment Joyce. Buy a vibrator like a normal person.
Wait. Do people actually use dryers to masturbate??
I swear this has been asked every single day since the concept was introduced.
Yeah, well, I certainly understand why some people didn’t want to read the comments during this arc. It hasn’t been an inviting place for people to go rummaging around to see if this question has been answered already.
And the chain continues unbroken, thanks to me. You’re welcome.
Not in my experience, but I haven’t gone out of my way to find out. The impression that I get from others is that it isn’t unheard of, but it’s probably more likely that a rumbling dryer (or electric toothbrush, or videogame controller etc) is more likely to be an incidental introduction to the idea of self stimulation rather than actually being sought out as a masturbatory aid.
Yeah, nothing like a giant vibrator to get the autism engine going! ☺️
If Joyce isn’t ready to use her fingers, I doubt very much she’s ready for a vibrator. After all, if the intentionality of using her fingers “makes it real”, how real does it become when you go out and spend your hard earned on a purpose built machine for it?
Clearly the next step is to borrow Booster’s Switch.
It seemed pretty strongly implied that she did use her fingers. That’s why she had Dorothy leave. But she had to get herself worked up to the edge before she could take that step.
Which is what the dryer helps with.
I absolutely do not disagree. But I also think that one time is not likely to be enough to fully break down that barrier to the point that she’s going to be comfortable buying a sex toy. That small step is still a little further in the future, I think.
Also, I wanted to make a silly joke about other avenues of youthful sexual exploration with the vibrating game controller.
I think she just didn’t want to / wasn’t prepared to experience her first o in company.
The prophecy will be fulfilled

This seems likely.
Problem with it, however, is that banging people is hardly a ticket to o-town for most straight women. I mean, the success rate in the comic seems unrealistically high, but IRL Joyce would be in for a lot of disappointments.
O-town? (Sorry, Google couldn’t answer me that)
Orgasm central.
You take the Horny Express. It stops at Dry Hump Hill, Makeout Point, Fellatio Falls, and Cunnilingus County Courthouse before the final stop at O-town.
O-town doesn’t have to be your final destination, but it is where you’ll be getting off.
Dandi Andi, you have won one intenet today. Use it (un)wisely.
Where Rocko lived!
… How the hell did they get that one by Nickelodeon?!
The real reason “Laundry Day is a very dangerous day.”
Well it’s clear she’s been traumatized by Dorothy. Traumatized, I say!
I think Dorothy may have screwed up.
In her attempts to give Joyce post N clarity, she instead introduced her to the world of hanky panky.
Now she wants it
Now she seeks it
Soon she may seek Joe
Yotomoe.
Where is my NSFW fanart of a sexually disheveled Joyce clinging to an anthropomorphized dryer with bedroom eyes. Where IS it, Yoto? I need it. I crave CONTENT!!
(This is enormously a joke, I would never seriously request art less than politely and believe artists should be paid for their time.)
Wait I just realized, she doesn’t know Dorothy broke the machine that she was sitting on
She’s gonna think she broke it isn’t she
lol. good point!
Just buy a shame-stick, Joyce
Look like the beginning of a dryer addiction.
NOW that’s a decision she made on her own without direct influence from Dorothy. Except the Dorothy in her head, maybe.
brb doing more laundry
Dotty should’ve just given her a bullet vibe ong
welp, someone get this gal a vibe, this is not the best solution to the problem by a mile
Why not just leave without saying anything? You don’t have to report to your roommate every time you go somewhere.
In Joyce’s mind, maybe it’s less sus if she announces she’s going to do laundry, as opposed to just scurrying off with a blush on her cheeks.
Honestly, maybe this opens some more sisterly antics between Sarah and Joyce, since we know Sarah has one. It’s not uncommon for groups of gals to go shopping for these things together in solidarity and potential knowledge.
I mean there’s always the internet but I would fear what Joyce would do if she saw all the different options on say, Amazon.
Though I suppose with how much crap they gave each other about it before, perhaps Joyce isn’t comfortable or hasn’t even thought of it.
I’d recommend buying one of those old Harry Potter Nimbus 5000 brooms, probably won’t run into any problems from your lgbtq friends if you got it on the secondary market so Rowling won’t get any money from it, and you could say it’s to stick it to your conservative religious upbringing that would have banned Harry Potter stuff.
Seems like a lot of extra steps.
They only made the vibrating broomsticks for the first couple movies, maybe even just the first one – there were some articles and push back, so it’s impossible now to buy one in a way that gets Terf Of The Author any money. Go wild!
Joyce is going to find that there are several other people doing laundry and this will leave her very frustrated. Will this lead to her setting her phone to vibrate and calling herself repeatedly while holding it “downstairs”?
Somebody just sneak this poor girl a vibrator. Put it in a pillow and tell her pillows don’t count.
I’m just gonna say it, Joyce needs a sybian, but like altered so the main part is less phalic. Clearly vibrations from something she’s sitting on is where she’s at, too bad they’re so expensive and this whole process would be beyond joyce in terms of purchasing socially
I’m pretty sure there are sybians (or at least attachments for them) that have just a protrusion for clit stimulation.
another option would be something like a hitachi but buried under a couple layers of blankets
that said I don’t see joyce buying the relatively inexpensive magic wand either, at least not as like, the first thing she gets. that also might cause a lot of fights in a dorm considering loud
I’d really like to shout out how good the first panel is. Perfectly gets across the mood and emotion!
Joyce finds the laundry room locked, and is forced to pay Sal to drive around town while Joyce hangs on tight in the back.
Joyce would probably prefer a vibrating grinder to any penetrating sex toys. She’s… Probably more sensitive down there than average? It would explain part of why she hasn’t experimented much before. If it’s sensitive enough, thinks that other people typical get pleasure from might be painful to her.
Sarah is really pretty.
