Anybody else tweet their trip to an ER with a vibrating dildo up their ass ??

[leigh.bess.toad]

Yup, this story just showed up on HuffPo. Some genius not only did it (not surprising there) but tweeted the whole sordid detail. Complete with the x-ray.

Really?

[Rick Munroe]

What's so sordid about it? I think it's pretty funny. I'm sure he got lots of retweets and new followers from that.

Was it a Wi-Fi dildo?

Nothing like giving our enemies more ammunition to use against us to rile up their supporters. People like "Rev" Patrick "gays have to wear diapers because of anal sex" Wooden.

 

See, he's right -- we have to wear diapers, right? Says so right there in the tweets.

[Rick Munroe]

Yes, so let's all sit inside and be nice, quiet, "decent" little sexless citizens who are terrified of doing anything that "our enemies" can use against us. Because, you know, if we all behave nicely, the homophobes will like us and stop saying mean things about us! (And straight people never ever tweet sleazy or "sordid" or embarrassing things. We really need to learn to be more like them.)

 

Lee, if you are really afraid of giving "our enemies" any ammunition, you'd cancel these Hooville weekends of yours because a group event consisting of escorts and their clients is really not the proper image we should be projecting. Just sayin'.

 

P.S. Why do you assume he's gay? Nothing in the Huffington Post story mentions his sexual orientation, nor does anything on his Twitter page. Straight guys enjoy anal play, too. If this even really happened, that is.

That is to say, re the Rev et al.:

 

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

One of the definitions of sordid is grasping and acquisitive. Tweeting the details of this event seems to satisfy the definition of sordid by that definition as in grasping for attention. As to whether the other definitions of sordid apply is more a judgment call. However, having been exposed to more of these type of stories than I would like, the response to these stories is usually a snickering denigrating laugh rather than a joyous celebratory one and so the other meanings of sordid probably apply as well.

For me, this ranks with the tweets a woman put out detailing her abortion as she was having it.

i know i am an old fogey, just by using the term old fogey I have proved it, but i am at a loss as to what would lead people to want to share these sort of details with the world. it seems there are those that are so desperate for attention that sharing these details is somehow rewarding.

i recently read an article which suggested that the resume is on the way out and that companies are using a review of a candidate's Tweets as a basis for hiring. i am wondering what type of job application this Tweet might advance.

Well, what leads people to come to Daddy's message board and post details of their sexual exploits or erectile dysfunction or marriage problems, etc? It's all the same thing. People want attention, people want information, people want to be connected. I don't see why it's so confusing.

 

Also, that whole thing with the vibrator up the ass may not even be real. But if it is, maybe he was scared and needed to not feel alone at that moment. Maybe laughing about it and sharing it with his followers gave him some comfort. And if it's a fake, maybe the prank gave him/them a good laugh.

LOL You'll have to ask Lee if he meant to say that the "genius...tweeted the whole grasping and acquisitive detail." And whether he feels that grasping and acquisitive details give "our enemies" ammunition.

Straight guys enjoy anal play, too.

 

Oh...now that's the truth!!...AND it is so hot when they do.

[gallahadesquire]

I'm not real good at reading x-rays, but I don't see a penile image on that x-ray. Are we SURE it's a guy?

[leigh.bess.toad]

Because one of his tweets did. The tweet that had the link to the xray: "Here's an xray of a dildo up my big gay ass"

Totally Agree...

OMG, Lee, now DOMA will never be repealed!"

I am not tweeter user so I may be mistaken, but I thought tweets were not focused and were not anonymous. And it seems to me that a man with erectile dysfunction or trouble in his marriage or discussing his sexual exploits is extending the usual limits of privacy. Abortions and anally lost dildos take revelations to a different level for me. At a dinner party, i would not be offended by someone excusing themselves. I might wonder why they needed to mention it if they specifically mentioned that they were going to defecate. I would probably think them an uncultured bore it they reported back on the relief they felt upon returning to the table. I would be astounded and question their intelligence if they returned and regaled the table to details of size, shape, consistency, smell and other details best kept private and i would probably excuse myself from the room. Most of the posting here on Daddy's fall into the first three categories. This tweet, for me is in category 4 and i am doing now what i should have done at the beginning of this thread and excusing myself from the room.

It's Twitter and yes, you're mistaken. I'm not sure what you mean by "focused" but they can be as anonymous (or not) as this message board.

[Phil_musc]

Is it possible that tweets such as this as well as other "sharings" are the current successors to things like the Jerry Springer show or Phil Donahue - you know, where people with really unusual (not to say bizarre) behaviors or quirks came on national television, shared their stories (maybe more accurately expressed as shared their dirty laundry), usually with straight faces and no sense of shame whatsoever, and tried to appear merely earnest and receive some sort of public validation for it.

 

Thanks, Leigh, I loved the x-ray.
