Program: The Sunday Hook Up. A simple question put to a certain Aussie producer, in the middle of the Burning Man crowd. It has spurned countless takes both hot and cold and a renewed interest in the art of ass eating. So how do you feel about tossing salad? According to the now defunct Gawker , the practice has been having a renaissance among straight dudes and couples in general.
Dr Jay Daniel Thompson, agrees that the stigma surrounding arse eating among straight men has diminished considerably in recent times and points to shifting models of masculinity.
To what extent is this using humour to deal with something that one might find uncomfortable or unsettling? I do wonder if these memes et cetera reinforce this unsettlingness. So if you want to give it a go, how should you approach it? That might even involve douching. They mostly result in having gastro-type upsets but you can also get some classic sexually transmitted infections like herpes and gonorrhea as well.
You can also use glad wrap, it does essentially the same thing. It all just depends on your choice around risk. Jay does think that ultimately a lot of the surge in interest, the memes, the shifting ideas surrounding masculinity in regards to butt licking likely stems from one place. You guessed it, porn. It absolutely informs everything we do.
The sort of mainstreaming of porn comes with a whole range of benefits as well as drawbacks.
