Cannoli is right: "sucks" implies the active party in oral sex Tom Send a noteboard - 17/08/2018 03:04:40 AM

This goes back to Ancient Rome, where the alpha male was supposed to be the penetrator at all times, never the penetrated. He could engage in sex with men or women as he pleased, but never could he be a fellator or paedicatus. That's why Catullus's 16th poem, which begins "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo" (I will fuck you in the ass and in the mouth - irrumare is the mirror verb to fellare, the act of shoving one's cock in someone else's mouth), is considered to be such a violent phrase. Therefore, if something "sucks", it means it is in a subordinate position. It's not really tied to homosexuality or heterosexuality per se.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Say what? The Shrike - 16/08/2018 09:47:19 PM 588 Views

However much of a hypocrite moondog is, the article, I feel, represents something else Cannoli - 16/08/2018 05:51:59 AM 602 Views
Agreed that they went way too far by including everyday useage of the word, sucks. damookster - 16/08/2018 02:15:54 PM 565 Views
Phobia fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:55:05 PM 618 Views
You don't even understand oral sex? Cannoli - 17/08/2018 12:43:50 AM 581 Views
Get to a sex education class, won't you? Or at least, use Google fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 05:29:25 AM 516 Views
I am a normal male person, who had conversations with other male people. Cannoli - 17/08/2018 08:25:48 AM 578 Views
Yes, yes, you're so male, your penis has a penis. We get it. fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 04:13:09 PM 607 Views
Re: Yes, yes, you're so male, your penis has a penis. We get it. Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:23:10 AM 595 Views
You are wrong about Cannoli. damookster - 17/08/2018 02:49:35 AM 590 Views

That would be the "receptive partner" in scientific terminology fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 05:44:16 AM 554 Views
Fuck scientific terminology. It blows. Cannoli - 17/08/2018 08:26:16 AM 567 Views
Regarding phobia Jeordam - 17/08/2018 06:30:51 PM 624 Views
There's a pretty simple test, I think fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 08:02:31 PM 565 Views
Once again...who are you to make that determination. Jeordam - 17/08/2018 09:54:41 PM 547 Views
*I* don't make the determination, liberal society did. fionwe1987 - 18/08/2018 12:02:22 AM 578 Views
So for clarity damookster - 18/08/2018 01:28:17 AM 573 Views
Yes! fionwe1987 - 18/08/2018 01:46:05 AM 564 Views

"liberal" society does not police speech Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:31:54 AM 578 Views
You don't need to protect speech everyone agrees with. *NM* Hieshyn - 19/08/2018 06:02:17 PM 404 Views
It most certainly *does* police speech. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:01:32 PM 571 Views
But to follow up on that. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:16:07 PM 579 Views
Well, that's why we didn't stop with the FIRST Amendment *NM* Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:53 PM 285 Views
That's individuals policing speech, not society. Agregate individual action =/= collective action Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:23 PM 590 Views
I completely agree. LiterateDog - 21/08/2018 04:35:38 PM 572 Views
heh, heh, heh damookster - 21/08/2018 05:00:32 PM 548 Views

Exactly. "Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons." Tom - 20/08/2018 08:54:03 PM 574 Views
I reiterate that I sometimes expect it from people who may be right of center/right. The Shrike - 16/08/2018 09:52:08 PM 611 Views
About the casual part fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:33:45 PM 548 Views
I don't think it's appropriate, but I think it's more about sexual shaming Tom - 16/08/2018 10:35:53 PM 622 Views
Precisely fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:59:42 PM 616 Views
You are absolutely correct damookster - 17/08/2018 02:43:21 AM 607 Views
I, for one, am glad to see this topic go flaming. aerocontrols - 17/08/2018 05:16:55 PM 651 Views
Yes, it is a tool used by those who should "know better". LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:14:30 PM 545 Views

Sigh I foresee 7 days of homosexual prison jokes in the near future in media adjacent places Roland00 - 22/08/2018 04:42:23 AM 528 Views
I think our casual acceptance of rape as part of prison is a major moral failure random thoughts - 22/08/2018 03:41:38 PM 546 Views
