sometimes you just gotta [clenches fist] lick your own elbow

i heard once if you do that you can change your gender

been there, done that, altogether not all that exciting

I used to be able to do that but then I realized I was pulling my shoulder visibly out of it’s socket to do so

I can’t tell if I’m dislocating my arm doing this or not. Probably not, right? I’d feel pain if I were…?

Hyperflexible people frequently do not feel pain on having a joint dislocated. It does gradual damage over time that can add up to cause massive trouble, but it doesn’t hurt at first. Makes it very dangerous for hyperflexible people to do anything with an inexperienced chiropractor or martial arts practitioner because it’s far too easy for someone else to pull a joint way out of line without the joint owner recognizing. Think of it like a rubber band- if you stretch it really far once, no problem. If you do that enough times, sooner or later it snaps.
(this is for both your future use and for everyone who reads this, my mom is in her 40s and is having a lifetime of overextending hypermobile joints catch up with her. Her tibia and fibula need regular repositioning and taping to put them back in place, and she can’t walk on uneven ground. She doesn’t even have especially bad hypermobility.)
