and then they masturbated forever, you can use they to stay neutral

i don't know why people forget the word exists when they use it all the time in normal conversation

It's a great neutral pronoun, but it can sound like you are referring to multiple people depending on how you use it.

Yeah we need a dedicated genderless singular third-person pronoun.

The only thing that comes to mind is "it" but that tends to dehumanize people.

I wish we could just manually change english. Forget all gendered pronouns because they shouldn't even need to specify. Just animate/inanimate singular/plural.

It sounds like they both masturbated forever though (Not to be a hater, dont down vote!!)
