I don't suppose that "service station" happens to double as a truck stop...

I’m sure they must have meant “chamber of whores”.

I don't read that as him saying "no one around here thinks about sex", I read it as "no one around here thinks that the neighbor's house might be a BDSM dungeon". Which is probably true.

There is plenty of evidence that the kink-o-meter's calibration doesn't only move in one direction. Recent history might suggest that tolerance inevitably increases, but I would bet that in 100 years necrophilia will still clock in as pretty fucking kinky on the old k-o-m.

An it isn't impossible that some day oral will be unspeakable again. These things move both ways, I'm sorry to say.

And if you know that, then it follows that people (perhaps Mario C. Chiacchia) can register their shock and horror in the NYT in an effort to push the meter back to simpler, happier times (in their opinion).

You might not want that to happen, but the world makes a lot more sense if you are open to the possibility that not everyone shares your standards. You'll find yourself saying "Puh-leeze" a lot less.

Surely some of these neighbors have pool boys?

I'm more concerned that they use those horses for something horrific.

I've heard that people in the suburbs not only think about sex, they actually have sex. Is this news?

People love to talk about and fantasize about sex of all sorts, but when push comes to shove, we're still a nation of puritans, and getting more so all the time. So, a story about a dominatrix in Connecticut is still magically titillating to us puritans in the US.

Bedford Hills (in the lede) becomes Bedford Falls (in the last para)?

Raises the question: What would George Baily say if ZaZu grew up to be a Dom?

Bill, she is a Dom!
And she opened up a fetish store:
Zuzuu's Paddles

Well, by golly, if only one man was bettered by this, it was worth it!

Great article, though I would say that oral is further down on the kink-o-meter (meaning it's less kinky) than BDSM. I'd say BDSM is somewhere between oral and anal. But it ain't the 'taint. You know what I mean.

Dan,

I feel like the only posts I'm putting up are just nagging silly maybe errors. But was that intentional to change the name from Bedford Hills (the real name of the town) to Bedford Falls (from It's a Wonderful Life)?
