Cursitor Doom's grasp of reality is remarkably feeble. He may really

smut.

This is why lesbians don't ask him on too many dates, I guess

 It's true I've never had many lesbians ask me out, but I don't think
that's due to my admittedly puerile sense of humour. At least I still
*have* a sense of humour - unlike Bill, who (if he ever had one) lost
it many years ago in the process of becoming the misanthropic loner we
know and love today.

So Cursitor Doom doesn't get my jokes. The "hilarious" claim in the original subject line makes it fairly clear that Cursitor Doom's sense of humour isn't up to much, so one can deduce that he can't detect anything subtle.
Calling his "joke" "12-year-old-school-boy smut" was calling it puerile.

Puerile is low-frequency word, and using it is a bit pretentious, but that's our Cursitor Doom.
