Oh I know about it, and I'm quite glad that they're comfortable enough with me to have an orgy on my face. That takes trust.

Just a friendly reminder that a usb microscope is cheaper than a chaturbate subscription.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 2 weeks ago

I know it, and I like to play smooth jazz before bed, to help get them in the mood.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No they're not.

I totally do know about it. Especially now.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 15 points 2 weeks ago

Not only am I aware and I consent to the microscopic bumping and grinding on my facial follicles, I occasionally rub one out just thinking about the gang bang going down between my eye brows.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I very much know about it, their presence makes my rosacea upset 🥲

Thats why every other day I muder them all with an anti-paracitic cream

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

So....your face or mine?

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

We're like a version of Mother Earth to them.
Multiply my children! Make love, not war!

There was someone they forgot to ask

I mean, we all know about it now. Does that ruin the kink for them? Or do they like that we know?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There are also others, less cute as those from the photo.

eg.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

we need an adult animated show about them

I mean, not all of those are less cute.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I encourage it, get your freak on little parasite

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 8 points 2 weeks ago

And are these sexy mites in the room with us now?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hate being reminded of this...Please just let me have some peace and live in ignorance every time I forget this is a thing.

Jesus Christ, get a room

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

If you aren't a filthy heathen, they actually practice abstinence. Repent, sinner.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

New kink unlocked.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Mites gotta mate

[–] Demonmariner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nice to know that somebody in my bed is getting some.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago
[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

From now on I'm calling my girlfriend "my microscopic mite"

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you, I hate it.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

what happens when I wash my face or go swimming they just hang on for dear life?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

The few survivors deal with it the only way they know how: another late night orgy on your face.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Long as they change the sheets every few years I'm good with it.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

i can't sleep without it

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

As long as they use practice safe sex, it really is none of my business.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Aw cmon, you two got the center part of the eyelid last night. We talked after and clearly settled it was our turn tonight.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's fine, so long as I continue to not know it.
