Bacchus

Sunni: Maybe it was me being overly sensitive, but I thought I detected a bit of condescension in some bloggers' entries. Sort of like the one some libertarians convey toward individuals who aren't as, er, politically enlightened as they.

Bacchus: I won't tell you that never happens. It's just that I don't think it's any kind of prevalent attitude. However, I will admit kinky folks tend to get snide and condescending real fast when they feel attacked by vanillas, which happens far too often. On the blogs I read, if the conversation starts "You kinky people are all sick", it's a very short trip to "You vanillas are so lame and boring".

Sunni: Okay, that makes a lot of sense. But I never thought I'd see a day where a woman with a healthy interest in sex wouldn't be enough -- she'd need to have completely bare genitals and be okay with anal sex or bondage or something like that to be considered sexy.

Bacchus: Now you're starting to sound like my mother, who used to rail against pornography because "Real live women aren't all shaved and airbrushed like those women in those magazines" -- like anybody cares. A woman with a healthy interest in sex not being considered sexy? I read a lot of sex blogs, but I've never heard anyone complain about that before. You never thought you'd see the day, and I don't think you will either.

Sunni: Sounding like your mother?! Ack! [laughs] My observation wasn't intended to be a negative one. [pauses] Perhaps it's a bit of inferiority feelings of my own showing. But in my defense, and to get the focus off me and back on the smut where it belongs, I have seen some negative attitudes toward people who don't shave their groin area, for example.

Bacchus: No argument about that! Every time I post a vintage photo showing a woman with normal pubic hair or -- horrors! -- armpit hair, I get some joker in my comments with a negative crack about the hair. But I'm not sure you can blame sex blogging, or even internet porn, for that. My quote of my mother ranting dates to about 1984. Fully shaved women in porn go back a long way, and there've obviously been guys who'd like their women to shave for just as long. Sure, tastes do vary; I'm only taking issue with your suggestion that a woman needs to be completely bare to be considered sexy. There are guys who feel that way, but that's just a fetish like any other. It's true, perhaps, that everyone is becoming bolder about holding out for satisfaction of their fetishes. Perhaps in the internet age you could meet a man who will only date fully-shaved women, because he knows he'll find some if he's persistent. But I don't think it's become a new standard of female sexiness or anything.

Sunni: So, what's the most shocking or unusual sex-related thing you've discovered on the web?

Bacchus: I'm pretty hard to shock, but leaving aside true grotesqueries of Japanese porn, it would probably have to be the man who puts Gummi Worms up his urethra and then squirts 'em out.

Sunni: Ewww! I don't think I want to know the thought process behind trying something like that. There are hints on ErosBlog that you and your Nymph met online. Is that true?

Bacchus: Sure is.
