How does Thing lose his virginity?


When he goes through puberty, how do you think Thing can lose his virginity? Digesting a girl to merge with her genetic structure isn't exactly a good way to get your rocks off. I bet Thing is probably a chronic masturbator. Who would ever want to make love to him?

reply

A rapist loses his virginity every time he rapes.

reply

Huh?

reply

What I mean to say is that, for the Thing, every time is like the first time.

reply

still don't get it

reply

I don't get it as well... Did you morph into another person, or are you still Metatron1970?

reply

I don't get either of your reponses. Try again.

reply

I don't get your flagrant passivity. Why do you keep posting on these boards?

When was the last time you made love to a human?

reply

This past Sunday. Based on your answers you don't seem to have the sex thing figured out.

reply

I guess I should have asked instead "Which of Thing's transformations do you think was sexiest?" He probably is gonna be all male for awhile down there in Antarctica since there aren't any women for Thing to merge with.

reply

Sex didn't seem to be a priority for The Thing even though he was frozen for quite the long time. He seemed to be in survival mode.

reply

I thought it was strongly suggested Thing fucked both Wilford Brimley and TK Carter--tastefully offscreen.

reply

In the 2011 version there was a woman around (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and he still didn't seem interested in sex.

reply

Maybe Thing is gay. Definitely gender and species-fluid.

reply

You could always go undercover.

How's your butt feel?

reply

this thread is stupid.

reply

Balderdash. These are legitimate questions the film raises.

reply

Really? The question of virginity was never brought up in the film. Nor gender or sexual reproduction for that matter. This creature is clearly evolved beyond those human limitations.

reply

Oh bugger off you wanker!

reply

Please watch your tongue. There are ladies present.

reply

None
Proximity seemed to be its thing,if you'll pardon the pun.

reply

I see what you mean.

reply

I don't think the thing cares about sex It just wants to take over the world by absorbing every life form.

reply

It seemed to have the hots for Kurt Russell.

reply

You might be right

reply

As an extension of the OP's query, can Thing get pregnant and give birth to little Things?

reply

Maybe.
