That is funny Rich. I'm surprised we haen't heard from our other friend Rich from across the pond.

 

I get the same reaction to Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin.

 

And John Quincy Adams.

The thought of Pelosi does it to me...as does Barbara Mukulski, our "cute" Senator from Maryland. Forgetting their political views, both Bachman and Palin are pretty good looking.

I love you PB, but for me, it's hard to forget homophobes and bigots political views. People who want to deprive me of being treated equally in this society tend to make my dick go flop and my dander go up.

 

Especially when they have 9 year olds as a founding father.

Your concept of "pretty good looking" is quite bizarre! In the case of these two "women" anyway it's totally impossible to separate their looks from their scary, idiotic, absurd political and ethical views.

And I do think Pelosi is pretty good looking, but her political views on matters other than "our cause", make my dick go limp.

 

And LBT - it IS possible to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal/moderate. I am not the only "red" person who fully believes in Gay Rights/Equality/Marriage, Hand Gun Control, and the Right of Women to Choose Abortion.

I know you are as are others. Maryland has a tradition of that with the likes of Charles "Mac" Mathias. What in the olden days was referred to as the "Rockefeller" wing. Unfortunately, neither Bachman nor Patin are in that wing. They are in the hate-filled homophobic bigoted wing, Bachman even more so than Patin.

I used to have a coworker who I would think of whenever I was getting to close to cumming and wanted to hold off. I wouldn't think of her erotically; all I needed to do was think of her sitting at the office meeting complaining about this and that, and any risk of cumming would be averted.

 

(As an aside, I've worked and continue to work with lots of beautiful, sexy women so I'm not wanting to be misogynistic here. It was just this one individual who had a unique dick-limping ability.)

Mine was a male colleague, a very tall and physically awkward guy with about the worst toupe I ever saw. A lovely, sweet, if also dark and troubled man. He was a total turnoff for me, and worked great as an anti-climax image. Now he's passed away, and I would need a new image, out of respect. But I'm almost 53 and rarely need to slow things down any more.

 

When I was young--in my late teens and early twenties--and still full of internalized homophobia and family-induced shame, an image of my father's horrified face would often materialize in my imagination (OK, maybe "matierialize" in one's imagaination is an oxymoronic way to put it) when I was sucking a guy's cock--that was a deflater if ever there was one. The pleasure of having my own cock sucked, though, was enough to blow away any inhibitions.

 

It wasn't until I was much older that I discovered the joys of uninhimited cock sucking.

I have to disagree, because the core meaning of conservatism is to conserve the wealth and power of the aristocratic class. You can't be a social liberal who cares about the poor and the disadvantaged while being focused on maintaining the awesome power of the elites.

And I have to disagree with your assumption about the core meaning of conservatism. I have friends who are fiscal conservatives & social liberals. They do not feel that reducing government spending is intended to "conserve the wealth and power of the aristocratic class", nor do I see it as a necessary consequence. I think you're trying to force everyone into hero/villain categories.

[BSR]

Professional victims like Rick Munroe must always find a way to vilify those they perceive as oppressors. Their victimhood is far more delusion than reality. Life as a gay man in 2011 New York City is hardly what I or any sane person would classify as "oppression" ("fun" would be more accurate). But their victimhood is a core belief. It makes them feel noble and special. And conveniently, it blames others for so much of what is wrong with their lives. The alternative, a good hard look at oneself, is too painful to bear.

Lee,

 

I didn't comment previously because whilst it was funny in its day, I'll never forgive the mad old bat for Section 28. It appears she's on her last legs as she couldn't even make the unveiling of a statue of her bit-on-the-side in Grosvenor Square last Monday. I guess it's just a State Funeral to go.

 

BSR,

 

I didn't know that Munroe was offering the Victim Experience but hey, "have rope, will travel", I guess.

 

I'm sure your life as a gay man in 2011 New York City is 'fun', as it can be London or Sydney. It isn't so much fun out-in-the-sticks, or in places where you can be gaoled, executed or have a sex change forced upon you.

 

As I posted elsewhere:

 

From the high-kicking drag queens of the Stonewall Bar who broke a police line, to Britain's own stately homo, Quentin Crisp, who minced about London and New York being an obvious homosexual, my hope is that my generations gift to the youth-of-today is that they won't have to decide to define their lives by their sexuality, even if some us old'uns felt we had to.

 

However, it might be worth sparing a thought for the people who got you your 'fun' and those who are still striving to get their share.

This reminds me of a book I read about a straight man who, in a moment of despair over losing his girlfriend, lets a man go down on him in the steamroom. The fact that his penis was a) badly wanting some attention and b) being handled with more "tenderness and authority" than any woman ever had was making it work for him.

 

Until he imagined his gay father watching this moment in a porn video and he bolted.
