I refuse to forget the og definition of WANTING WATER.
I have come to accept it as also being horny.

clarification (these two options correspond to what i meant by “horny for attention” and “horny for sex” respectively, sorry i swapped them lol)

tru!
okay here’s the actual question i wanted to ask: when you describe a post as a “thirst trap,” is the *poster* the one being thirsty or is the *audience* the one being thirsty? or both?

Specifically horny for sexy attention—flirting to flirt. ’s thread about ppl wanting to be sexy more than they want sex comes to mind

i only ever see it in the context of "thirst traps" which come to think of it is a phrase i haven't heard for like, 2 years now
