For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

Are we all just too proud to start identifying first and foremost as a masturbator?

It's definitely allowed. I've met lots of people who gave me the distinct impression that they were wankers.

I'm not sure if you mean for me to take that personally. But I did take that personally. I laughed anyway, totally agree.

Not at all. Love your username btw. Though I believe Ook was an orangutan, not a gorilla.

I will claim that an orang-utan is often mistaken to be an orangutan, but is in fact a cousin of Gorilla gorilla called Gorilla otang-utan.

That's because I have found that I was wrong, there is a character limit, orangutan is a long word, and I'm a retconning wanker.
