Man this season of anime seems to provide an endless supply of topics to bring up on the blog. The latest episode of Nagatoro brought up a wealth of teenage memories when she won a game of rock-paper-scissors and the Senpai had to carry her on his back. In case you’re not watching it, he’s a scrawny as fuck little boy who has never touched a dumbbell in his life (so me in high school I guess). He was struggling like a motherfucker to keep her steady, but luckily was saved as he tried to readjust his grip and ended up grabbing her upper thigh which prompted her to hop off. This scene brought up countless repressed worries of “what if a girl asks me to do that?”
Fear not, I was no Chad in high school so this article isn’t about a time where I horribly fucked up and dropped a girl on her ass who wanted me to carry her. It’s about how I always expected I was going to fuck up. Carrying a girl is one of those popular romance tropes that’s hard to gauge the practicality of. Everybody knows that mysteriously bumping into a girl and dropping your books and saying “oh, sorry sweetcheeks, I didn’t look where I was going” works excellently on the Hallmark channel, but not so great in real life. In fact it almost never happens to begin with, or if it does the people just say “my bad” and pick up their shit. Now carrying a girl on the other hand? I’ve seen that tons of times at my high school. And everytime I was bombarded with questions by my own brain. Would I be able to do that if my girlfriend wanted it? Does it take a lot of strength to do that? What if I had a girlfriend that was dummy thicc, would she understand that her thiccness made it too difficult for my noodle arms and noodle back to carry her or would I have to try and find some way out of it for everyone’s safety?
Oof, see this is why I worry so much.
To this day I’ve never carried another human being on my back, not even a lightweight kid or something, so I have no idea how hard it is to perform the task. Thankfully I think I’m past the age in life where that type of thing is appealing anyway. I can likely rest easy knowing that most girls my age would probably be too concerned with how much the hospital bills would cost after insurance if they hopped on my back and I fell over. That being said, I still would like to know what it's like to do the action just in case I ever need to carry my sweetheart who broke her foot during a mountain hike or something. That’s where you guys come in.
No worries you two, I prepared for this. Just say she twisted her ankle while you were fucking.
This is one of the few tropes that I see happen a lot in anime that also occurs somewhat frequently in real life. Have you ever carried your partner on your back? Or anyone for that matter? Is it lovey-dovey or too much like a workout? Does the blood flow to your muscles used for lifting prevent you from having a boner during the experience? Hey, can’t blame me for asking.
