Um ok I would suggest removing the underwear in the second image but honestly I don't know anything about being a sailor or life in a ship

Me, a sailor:

So is the buddy optional or do you just shit yourself while holding hands with your new bestie on the edge of the ship

Don't forget your poop buddy!

The latter, it's not gay (unless...)

I imagine it's like when a dog looks you in the eye for emotional support while taking a shit.

It isn't.

It would only become gay if the buddy offered to be shat on, but that can't happen on the ship.

Why?

If the ship has no functioning toilets (otherwise why shit like this), chances are it never even had a working shower.

The higher-ups would be livid.

Truly a anti-gay ship.

I think the 'Avoid direct eye contact while your ass is in the wind' step is also missing

You reckon maybe it's optional? Or maybe sailors assert dominance that way. Like I said, it's a mystery to me

Modern toilet lobbies have pushed for antisocial pooping for long enough!

Bro is going through all that just to still crap his underpants
