Slog - Comments on Oral is Standard http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/oral_is_standard Man, I got yelled at when I offered this advice to a guy whose girlfriend wouldn't go down on him in a Savage Love column back in May of 2005... Dump her, BLOW. Sucking cock can no longer be regarded as some sort of above-and-beyond-the-call indulgence. Blowjobs are standard. Any make or model that doesn't come with blowjobs should be immediately returned to the showroom. That line has been cited as proof of my sexism. But in the same column the very next letter was from a girl whose boyfriend wouldn't go down on her and I offered her this...

"Please tell your girlfriend from me, a geigh, that we don't want straight people to stop getting married—divorced, yes; married, no—..."

Are you really saying that gay people don't want straight people to get divorced? And if so, why do gays not want straight people to get divorced?

It is a horrible flash-in-the-pan affectation that will bring deserved opprobrium to those who use it.

I think the technical term for someone like that is "young woman." Like #16, I also have dated someone like that. I think this is something that some young women feel because they are uncomfortable with their bodies. Hopefully they all grow out of this unpleasant phase.

In the meantime at least when it comes to giving they suck it up. So to speak.

I know, you don't believe me. But hand on heart - it's the truth. And I can't be the only one. Eaters of the world, sing out!!!
