women giving blowjobs? (ok, oral pleasure for those of you who like gentle euphemisms) not one song about it. not one book. not one interview on rosie. how come? i think we should give this someserious attention... i mean, it happens.... right?

So we can leave the idea of blowjobs up to the imaginations of people like you who have never experienced them.

Oh, I thought this forum was going to be about subjects that we want to hear Pamie talk about. If that were the case, I would contribute this suggestion: What about Pamie's new day job? I don't know anything about it. I think she's written about two sentences about it. Something about it having to do with webpage design, and that she likes it. Oh, and we got a slide show tour of her desk. I think that's it. What's up with that? Not that I think it's a particularly riveting topic, but I just remember all her discussions about her old job--about having to talk to the customers as tech support, about pretending to eavesdrop on her coworkers and then being caught, about unlimited sick days and free lunches on Fridays--and I just feel that I know nothing about the new job in comparison. What say you, Pamie?

What other topics would you like to hear the all-knowing, all-wise Pamie to expound upon? :)

Would you be interested in watching a talk show with a female guest who has given a blow job or two?
That seems pretty boring.
As for a song about it, apologies to all who hate Alanis, but I quote, "Would she go down on you in a theater?"
Maybe you should write a book about it yourself. You could really make it big. Underpriviledged men of the world would unite to make you rich and famous!

I stopped writing about work once I got to the new place and they had read my page...

since Squishy has gotten some local coverage, I try not to write about people who don't know they may end up in the pages of my journal.

but if there's a good story about being at work, I'll share. As for if I'm happier? I like my new job very much. I guess since it doesn't drive me crazy like the last one there are fewer funny stories coming out of it.

and i don't know what that dude's talking about with the blow jobs. i suppose he doesn't have cable, a radio or know how to read.

This is probably the way wrong forum to be talking about this (and far be it from me to steer the conversation away from blow jobs), but did anybody see Entertainment Weekly? They did a write-up on MightyBigTV and they cited Pamie's Get Real Characted Comparison Chart! GO PAMIE!!!

It is truly a happy day for us would-be, aspiring MBTV writers...

so this topic made me laugh. my male friends at school have this little mantra - step two to anything is "BLOWJOB!" for example:
"what's the plan for the evening?"
"step one: smoke a bowl. step two: BLOWJOB!" at first it was offensive. now, it's become hysterical; even my female friends say that. i don't know where it came from, i don't know who first thought it up. but if you're ever on my campus, don't be surprised if you occasionally hear a chorus of voices saying, "step two: BLOWJOB!" so you see? we talk about blow jobs all the time. wow, THAT was a random post.

Jeremiah, where have you been hiding>?

Someone has already mentioned Alanis (and, of course, the Jefferson Starship covered this with the genders reversed in their song Do you believe in miracles -- only on the album version, not on the single -- "I got a taste of the real world when I went down on you girl" -- but I recall a couple times when a DJ played the long version instead of the single)

But mostly I just wanted to ask if you had ever heard of Bill and Monica? For months the nightly newscasts were filled with discussions about the providing of oral gratification...

Well, jeremiah obviously doesn't listen to punk (or at least not the Meatmen) or else he'd know about that oh-so-vulgar song, "Blowjobs Ain't Cheating." ("It's like blowing your nose with a little help.")

A local band in my town has a tender little love ballad called "Cocksucker," if that counts.

Read some Charles Bukowski. I'm positive he'd have something to say about oral sex. It might be crude and rude, but he'll have something to say about it, I'm sure.

The student film festival at Notre Dame this week features an entire film zoomed in on a guy's penis, with voice-overs helping people "understand" it and how it works and how to please it. This intrigues e (I went there) since it's a Catholic school (but plenty of lapsed ones there), and so far there's been none of the expected uproar from those stodgy priests and right-wingers.

(Wonder how easy the penis was to direct. Every time they yelled "cut," I bet he shrank back a little.)

What about Peter Gabriel's song "Kiss that Frog" on his Us album? That tune is definately about blowjobs.

-- Anonymous, February 07, 2000

What about that David Bowie song where he sings, 'Gimme some head' and a couple of other suggestive lines? And if you want books about it... a simple search on Amazon.com should help you out; I mean, they have a book on 'the fine art of vaginal fisting,' for God's sack (someone gave me the link, I swear).

Um, anyway.

-- Anonymous, February 07, 2000

Personally I can only presume that if you have such a burning need to hear or read about the giving of head, you're currently not having any given to you. Then again I'm not getting it either and I don't particularly care about reading about it. Think I'll stop before I give too much of myself away

Tonight We Sleep In Separate Ditchesno blowjobs here either

"'the fine art of vaginal fisting,' for God's sack" *roflmao* Sorry..I couldn't help it.

Everyone forgotten about 'Dirty Mind' by Prince? The entire album I mean, not just the one song..... I distinctly remember a track called 'Head' being on there, and there's another track where he gets it on with his elder sister. And what about 'Cocksucker Blues' by the Stones? And in retrospect, just about anything Melissa Etheridge ever recorded turned out to be about giving head, although in this case there aren't any blowjobs in sight anywhere. And don't get me started on R&B (the 40's/50's variety, I mean, not the trash that's being marketed under the same name nowadays). My personal favorite track from that era: 'Loving Machine' by a certain Wynonie Harris, which, you guessed it, is about a machine giving blowjobs.....

G's, why are we talking about this?

I think this topic could also be under "Do you like to grow things?" Just a thought...

Omar,

hee.

who calls it "oral pleasure" anyway?

C'mon bay-beee, gimme some of that oral pleasure? Imagine Lou Reed singing "but she never lost her head, even when she was giving oral pleasure" ...

nope. Doesn't do it for me.

-- Anonymous, February 08, 2000

My best friend and I started calling head given to females 'oral pleasures' (plural) after seeing Pulp Fiction. I believe the line was something along the line of, 'Will you give me oral pleasures?'

Heh.

When I'm out in public, and I feel like a little oral pleasure, I just chew gum.

what, no one has ever heard of Liz Phair's "Flower"....she just wants to be your blowjob queen.

I know I've mentioned it before but our favorite little snaggle-tooth Jewel- "Swallow the Moon"- c'mon.

To go way back to what Heather said,

Yeah. Movie. About the penis. According to my roommate, they showed 24 different penises. Sadly, I missed the movie. :)

I have a flaming, and I dooooooo mean flaming, gay friend name of Jed who insists, up and down, and up the other wall again that Madonna's song "Like a Prayer" is all about giving a blowjob. Now, given Jed is so gay he can't even think "straight", but he does make a few intruiging points.

"When you call my name, it's like a little prayer, I'm down on my knees, I want to take you there." and a few other lyrics are quoted to support his hypothosis. I'm not sure I buy it, but it does make one think.

Nooch...

p.s. Aggie, that "Step Two:BLOWJOB" thing is the shit, I'm going to get my degenerate crew hooked on that one, it's just the kind of silly stuff we live on. Thanks.

Bryan! Tell your friend that he's right. Well, that I think his theory is kind of correct. Because I was watching a bunch of Madonna videos the other night, and I thought... "Maybe my mind's in the gutter, but _gee_ that song sounds like it could be about... well... yeah."

I'm awful, aren't I?

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2000

okay. so bryan, i'm going to back you up. because the friends who say "step two: BLOWJOB!" are also fond of dancing shirtless to "like a prayer." having seen half naked drunken men grinding on one another, like a prayer is ALL ABOUT oral sex.

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2000

I like that interpretation of Like a Prayer. I like that Madonna has made a career out of addressing the individual's (the soul's) bodily needs, as opposed to the idea that the individual is served by bodily depravation. (Although she's demonstrated that she doesn't know how to articulate this, creating much antagonism.)

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2000

Oops! That should be deprivation. I'm sure there are many who built a career out of depravation, but htey serve a more hidden market.
