Dan Savage sacrifices his penis

[+ friendofsheila]

Dan Savage is doing something cool and hi-larious.

 

I hereby publicly invite—I publicly challenge—John Cummins [a British Columbia politician] to prove that being gay is a choice by choosing it himself.

 

Suck my dick, John.

 

I'm completely serious about this, John. You're not my type—you're about as far from my type as a human being without a vagina gets—but I have just as much interest as you do in seeing this gay-is-a-choice argument resolved once and for all. You name the time and the place, John, and I'll show up with my dick and a camera crew. Then you can show the world how it's done. You can demonstrate how this "conscious choice" is made. You can flip the switch, John, make the choice, then sink to your bony old knees and suck my dick. And after you've swallowed my load, John, we'll upload the video to the internet and you'll be a hero to other choicers everywhere.

 

A reader asked Savage to change his challenge just a bit.

 

I'm writing about the "Choicer Challenge" you've issued to all the bigots out there who say that being gay is a choice. I think you've set yourself up for a possible failure here, Dan.

 

I'm a straight guy. I am also a stubborn motherfucker. If I were one of those choicers, Dan, I would suck your dick just to win the argument. That's why the Choicer Challenge should say that they have to suck you off while maintaining a glass-cutting boner. I could will myself to blow you, but willing myself to get hard during it? Not possible!

And his name is perfect for a career in porn if, after doing Savage, he decides that he prefers gay-hood.

[justaguy]

Love the challengs. I agree that he needs to be hard while he's sucking--and no straight porn playing on a moniter in the background.

[leigh.bess.toad]

I do disagree with the challenge. Now if the challenge was to get fucked by Cutler X while sucking Savage, then I'd be in for it. Come on Dan, go for the glory.

 

Thanks FoS. I love it.

[mansniffing]

What a stupid argument. Can I also choose to be a millionaire or to be a pauper?

Like vaudeville, these clowns need to be pulled off the stage with a hook. Brink back the hook.

In this case the hook is Dan Savage's dick.

I think Savage's proposal is brilliant! Hmmm... Perhaps they could also turn the tables and challenge a gay dude to choose to be truly straight by requiring the gay man to eat a woman's pussy and lick her clit until it gives him a raging boner. I can't think of even one of my gay friends who says they get turned-on by cunnilingus.

 

FoS, Thanks for sharing this "challenge" with us.

[justaguy]

Don't they have special camps for that?

Ewwwwwwwww!

 

lol

[RockHard]

Too gay?

Then, maybe, all of your gay friends are very gay.

 

I may not be turned on by the sexual scent of a woman but the visual of a hot guy performing sloppy oral sex on an equally sexy woman can definitely make my dick hard, especially if the guy moans while he licks and his hard-on throbs and drips with excitement.

 

Many gay guys enjoy watching straight porn, which is why I enjoy Rick Munroe's straight-ass fetish videos. When I'm sick of the same old shit pouring out of the San Fernando Valley, I dig up some old Rocco Siffredi faves and happily go to town.

I might get a mask to look like this politician. I'd love to smoke Savage's pole. He's hot. Love to do his husband too.

Brings me back to memories of being a teen, sometimes hanging out with a friend and sneaking peeks at copies of Playboy, etc. Though there was (and I think still is) a small percentage of me that liked girls, I realize that the real turn-on was hearing my friend comment on the mag pics. He was getting turned on by the actual naked female pics, but *I* was getting turned on because of the way he was turning himself on.

 

Anyway, though I appreciate Savage's sentiments here, I think his challenge is fallacious (or, is that fellatious, lol). First of all, if it's all about a matter of choice, the politician could simply say he's choosing to say no, lol. But also, I hate to say it, but sucking one cock does not make you gay. His reader's response is slightly better - sucking a guy off is one thing, but doing it AND being visibly aroused would be something else. But even then - I think there might be plenty of otherwise totally straight men out there who might have a curiosity about - and even be aroused by the idea of - going down on another guy. I'm still not sure that that in any way makes them gay. I think identifying as gay takes much more than the desire to try man-on-man oral sex once.

 

However, I'd like to think that Savage is still making an interesting point.
