The Sh** Google Thinks We’re Looking For

WTF?

I am a psychotherapist, and a sex positive counselor. As you might imagine, my Google searches are varied, but they aren’t nearly as varied as Google thinks they should be.

A recent search on BDSM behavior pulled up “Behavior Modification-Submissive Feminist.” As intriguing as that may sound, it was off the beaten track from what I needed (pun intended), and was a rabbit hole I did not have time to go down, although I did bookmark it. I have to know if that is some male fantasy of taming the feminist, as in “Taming of the Shrew,” or a feminist take on enjoying being submissive in certain, highly defined situations.

Granted, that wasn’t so far off the track. How about “girl names for cats?” The first listing is for “Girls Incarcerated.” Back in the day, that would have been a sensationalized B movie. Now it’s a TV series. And got me no closer to naming my new adopted kitten. Although, of the characters’ names, Aberegg, Stokes, and Rose, I guess Rosy could work.

When I googled “Curing Iron Skillets,” I was being very specific, and indeed, that topic was first. Followed by “Curing Zombie Villager” and “Curing a Hangover.” I didn’t check to see if either of those required covering the zombie or formerly drunk person with oil and baking them in the oven, but I presume not. At least not in the case…
