The Crying Game

Comments

203
how about Dyke VanDick.
dutch translation: dam from the dick.
i.e."Gotta go pee so I don't wake up with Dyke VanDick."

sement is good but too subtle aurally.
filibuster- isn't that already what happens while you're generating Santorum?
204
in response to CSNWG: I like sement and if popular opinion rules it will probably be the winner, BUT since we are talking about a "semen cap" on one's penis, I looked up the official name of the caps Seamen wear - "Gob Cap" - it fit perfectly!

****GOPpage***crusty Boehner Blockage

Why not call it GOPpage (rhymes with blockage)?

From #62:
A Congressional House/Senate Republican minority is the crusty blockage that refuses to be pissed away after sex. A GOP minority blocks everything up so that important things (like pissing, health-care reform, gun control laws) can't get done or get done so badly that there's a huge mess to clean up afterward.
208
SUPER: If you can't say what turns you on to the girl without being attacked for it, then you should not fuck her. I think you should take offense for how she treated you.
209
If I had been in SUPER's girlfriend's shoes, I would have felt myself being supergirl! Man! She missed a great oportunity!
210
@ 198, thank you.
Never meant any offense. Whatsoever. Please don't get butt-hurt about it; just letting the bitch out for air (he needs air too, apparently); trying to be more expressive, and not let people walk all over me. I am a fan of writing comments without getting advice as a response; and again I admit that it was my fault in the first place.

Thanks anyway.
211
Well, bsmaster, your inner bitch met our nosy bitches, it seems...! Cheers.
212
@152 I guess #55 could change their name to "NOBODY" since they did say,

"as for SUPER, if the girl's still willing to fuck him, he just needs to start hate-fucking her until she leaves."
213
@74: PUT THE ROMANCE NOVELS DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. People who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality are crazy. People who let imaginary bedmates threaten their real sex lives have big problems, and probably shouldn't be asking their partners to talk about fantasies unless they are specifically trying to sabotage the relationship. And assuming that women are too delicate and insecure to handle harmless fantasies is as misguided as it is absurd - women's magazines and romance novels are full of shirtless musclemen whose sexual prowess is matched only by the depths of their intimacy, the depths of their (almost invariably blue) eyes, and their superhuman understanding of what a woman wants, feels, needs, desires, or fantasizes about, without her having to say a word. And oh, right, we mustn't forget THE BIG COCK.

Sheesh... it's like you took a women's studies class and only learned enough to be dangerous. The justifications you dreamed up sound more fanciful and alarming than anything I've ever seen drawn on the page of a superhero comic.
214
The crusty blockage should be called a "SPORK" a hybrid of the words sperm and cork.....though...maybe not as isn't that also what you call one of those spoon fork things you get at the 7-11 ??
215
I love sement ... as in:
"go pee after you have sex or you will have a sement problem". :)

Hi Dan-
The term that CSNWG is looking for is too easy: Palin. I think it could be used as a noun or a verb.....

Noun: "After that quickie, I had a Palin."

Verb: "After that quickie, I was Palin all over the place."

220
213: It's so cute the way you've generated such an elaborate strawman from a totally unrelated comment and accused *women* of being the ones who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality in the same post.
221
I like sement too, but we really need to find a good meaning for the term,

"Limp Rushbaugh"

I suspect it will be something like, "The inability to maintain an erection due to use/overuse of drugs/alcohol."

As in: "Dan, what should I do? I only tend to find women in bars, but by the time we're back at my place, the alcohol's given me a limp rushbaugh."
222
Another idea would be to name the uncomfortable feeling when attempting to rush anal sex.

"Palin the ass"

Example: "Lets take this a little more slowly, or I'll get a palintheass."
223
#111: Although I think Dan brought up some good points, I'm with you in that I do not think the failure of the third relationships necessarily means that CAR's open relationship isn't working. It seems likely that they may be finding their thirds among women who aren't really comfortable being a secondary partner, or may be comfy with it while it's casual, but find they can't handle it if/when they start to fall in love with the BF. Instead, they should look for people who are either experienced with open relationships, or are actively seeking that kind of thing. Sure, finding the ideal third woman is a unicorn hunt, but it's either that, or they'll have to both admit (not just her) that they're into using the third partner more than being concerned about whether or not it's working for them.

I agree with Dan's advice that they need to make it clear to the third party how their relationship works from the beginning - though not by outlining that it will end in heartache for the third, but by outlining that they have completely transparent communication, that the third will be expected to meet and interact nicely with the other primary partner even if she never gets sexually involved with her, that the secondary relationship will remain secondary, and any expressed desire for monogamy or further commitment will be grounds for immediate termination of the relationship. They should make this clear BEFORE the BF gets heavily involved, they should also all meet casually BEFORE heavy involvement, and this would go a long way to prevent the kind of illusions that will cause the third to imagine that one day, she'll have him all to herself. If they can't/aren't willing to do that because they're afraid it will ruin their chances to bring in a third, then they're both douchbags, and should only fulfill their need for outside sex via one night stands and similar short-lived, sex only flings, so that the third will not expect or develop any emotional ties.

I also disagree with those suggesting that CAR sounds threatened by the other girlfriend, UNLESS it's for the fact that she's not met this other girlfriend yet, and this level of "secrecy" with the third is unusual (it sounds from the tone of her letter that this may be the first time the third has been so non-interactive with her). If that is unusual, then I can't blame her if she's suspicious - why the sudden change in how a third partner is approached, why haven't they met yet, etc? If that is strange, and I was in her shoes, I would be concerned that either the third is completely uncomfortable with the arrangements already, thus unwilling to meet/be known by her (if she never meets the primary GF, she can imagine that the BF is monogamous with her), or that the BF is trying to keep them seperate because he really IS more into the new partner than the old, and doesn't want her catching onto that. I suspect the former is more likely though, given that he has disclosed what he can on his own.

As for HSBB, it sounds to me like his brother is trying to passively come out so as to not create big waves. Seriously, leaving porn in the browser is something that everyone ought to know how to avoid by the time they're a teenager, and if he's openly gay on his FB page, how much more obvious can you get? It sounds like he WANTS people to just "discover" that he's gay, so that he doesn't have to go through a difficult and potentially dramatic coming out speech. He's probably hoping that other family members will come to him, like his mom did, to tell him they've already figured it out. His behavior is just screaming for that. So yeah, he's a coward for doing it passively (I could understand for distant relatives, but not close relatives), and for not picking up on his brother's clear message, but obviously the big brother's going to have to be the "bigger" person here too, and just tell him to knock it off already and that everyone knows and doesn't care, and he wasn't fooling anyone, Mr. Obvious.

Although I like sement, it's one of those words that works better written than spoken. I rather like the Dyke VanDick suggestion, although Crusty Boehner and Rushbo also appeal to me.
224
This is obviously an "I'm on the warpath and I'm taking no prisoners!" day for Dan, and three cheers for it. I love it when he doesn't pull his punches and "tells it like it t-i-is!"
225
Breaking through crusted semen: cumbustion.
226
Ok folks. Maybe SUPER's girlfriend can "learn" or "be educated".

1. It's not SUPER's job

2.Dan's advice is suggesting that it's not worth the "maybe", or even worth the time until she's learned (if she's going to).

3. Y'know what's a pretty good eye-opener / teaching tool? Getting your ass dumped.
227
Re: CAR

While I agree with your advice, Dan, I suspect that CAR, her boyfriend, and their perspective playtoys need to learn the language and protocols of ethical polyamory. Given the tone and questions in her letter, I'm not sure they know that such relationship models actually exist.

It seems simple, here in the alternative cultures of America's "alternative" poster child city, to take that knowledge for granted. Most folks, however, flat-out don't KNOW that such options and protocols exist. Instead, they default to a lot of the old "swinger/ open relationship" models in which both partners understand what's going on but their playmates remain more or less in the dark about it.

Given that CAR needs to ask whether or not it's "okay" to meet or even speak to her lover's girlfriend(s), I suspect that the couple doesn't actually know how to language or manage their situation, while the girlfriends have been expecting the social default "one guy/ one girl" thing.

You're totally right about this couple needing to get their shit straight with regards to their extra-relationship patterns. You're dead-on when you tell them to be upfront with their secondaries about the mode of their relationship. I agree that they sound like toxic play-partners until they figure this shit out.

That said, I get the impression that they just don't KNOW about how ethical, conscious polyamory works.

To that end, let's offer a bit more advice about good resources for that knowledge, and a bit less vitriol about their ignorance... at least for now.

-----------------
SOURCES

If you're reading this, CAR (or people in CAR's situation), check out the following sources about ethical, conscious polyamory... and then be aware that theory and practice are very different things. People are people, and every relationship mode is more complex than it ideally appears to be.

Pagan Polyamory, by Raven Kildara (not just for Pagans, this is the single most realistic book about poly relationships I have yet read)

The Ethical Slut, by Easton & Hardy (more queer/ kink-oriented, perhaps, than CAR and her boyfriend might be)

Opening Up, by Tristan Taormino (very good, very practical)

The New Love Without Limits and Polyamory in the 21st century, by Anapol (a bit too idealistic to be really practical, but with strong emphasis on the emotional bonds beyond the physical activities)

Oh, hell - here's an amazon link. Read the various entries yourselves, and decide what sounds most fitting for your experience and situation:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?u…

Beyond that, google "ethical polyamory," join poly webgroups, talk to poly people and, like Dan said, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER before dragging other folks along for the ride.

Have fun, be safe, and play nice with your toys. If you keep breaking them, you're doing it wrong.
228
how about SPUNKAGE? spunk + blockage = spunkage
229
That crusty blockage that has to be pissed away should be called Coulter.

Love,
Daddy
230
I could live with 'Scalia' as a term for dried semen, but it doesn't quite have the right sound. At the risk of dating myself, I suggest 'Swaggart,' after the televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. It combines the 'sw' sound of 'swab' and 'swill' with the double 'g' and following vowel of 'faggot'. I can't think of a better (if belated) gift for the nasty old bastard.

However, if he's too obsolete to bother with, then I suggest 'Foley,' after Mark Foley the page-molester.
231
'Sement' is brilliant, it gets my vote for blockage nomenclature.

I agree that the sideways piss spray needs another, separate name. The Sement can cause it, but it happens in other instances as well.

Calling the spray a "Spitzer" hits the right notes.

Example: "Duuuude, i just drove for 4 hours and when I took a pee break I Spitzered the wall."
232
How about a "Hannity" - because it needs to be waterboarded to get it off.
233
My suggestion for that blockage is to call it beckle--after that crusty dickhead Glenn Beck.

+1 for sement

Can we make up a sexual definition for the phrase "Boehner DeLay" and googlebomb it!?
242
SUPER, Jesus, DTMFBA, OK? What a nasty-@ss thing to do. If a guy I was into dropped such a cute little fantasy, you can bet your white leather calf boots Wonder Woman would answer the door the next time he knocked.

hmm, those bracelets...that's kind of hot actually, black wig...yup, I think the guy and I may be in for a little costume fun this weekend...or maybe Zena...

Hey, CAR: Don't be so sure he'll never fall for another wo/man. The longer the game, the better his chances to fall in love with someone else.

SUPER: Dan's right. She'll do it again.

SEMENT is the best, but 'boner vs. boehner' is also great. There will be time for Palin and McCain, but there has to be some liberal out there that deserves a Santorum kind of name. It's a matter of equilibrium. Yes, I like the proposed Spitzer. And Westboro, indeed, has to be for something gay, no doubt.
246
It sounds like the gal in letter #3 would have been freaked out even if his fantasy was being with 2 women at the same time! She probably took some kind of "Pysch 101 for Womyn" in college. I'm surprised that she didn't make some statement that included the phrase "patriarchal society".
247
Hi Dan, late to the party I know, but I thought I'd mention that I've been calling that crusty blockage "McCain" for years, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. In my case it started with the resultant mess on the floor, to which I would exclaim "Oh McCain, you've done it again" (the old slogan for McCain frozen vegetables) but in recent years it fits so well with the senator from Arizona.
248
Despite living intimately with a man for well over 40 years I had never heard of this phenomenon; I was astonished that my lover had never mentioned it. But then, we were the children of the "don't talk about anything generations" from which it seems it will take an entire life to unfold. After much laughter I came up with "dookey-dick" and my husband topped me with "pissinterruptus."
249
How about palinrush? Either as a verb or noun.

E.g.,

"Wow, after all that drunk sex last night, we just passed out after the fact. Woke up in a bed covered with Santorum, and to make matters worse, when I pissed later, I palinrushed all over the place."

"Folks, in addition to preventing palinrush from forming, peeing after sex is really a good way to help prevent STDs."

I like using boehner for something. Given it's pronunciation is, I believe BAY-nor, how about using it to mean a dick which is leaking precum? As in,

"Dude, you totally have a boehner - better put a condom on."

@ 74 - The most sensible post so far. It is astonishing how much lack of self awareness folks on this thread seem to exhibit. It's all well and good to jump on what this guy's girlfriend did or didn't say but most of you are forgetting that there is ALWAYS two sides to every story and I'd be willing to bet that this guy was exhibiting other "immature" (read, irritating) traits that this woman was probably already noticing so his fantasy about comic book women just pushed her over the edge.
Yes, it is cowardly to not just drop someone at the first sign that you see the incompability but that is what humans do every day and long after all of us on this thread are dead and gone, humans will still be hanging onto relationships which so obviously will not work. He was probably annoying her outside the bed so his fantasy was just one more thing.
253
How about "CRUSM"?
254
How about Palin.

Like the crusty little blockage that exists in Sarah Palin's mental process that prevents her from realizing she how foolish she sounds when she publically speaks.
255
I wonder if the proper name for this dick-damming is gonorrhea? It kinda sounds like it!

268
SUPER - there has to be a reason why shows like Wonderwoman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias....etc. are so big - and it is not the stories or the acting. There is a clearly a huge subset of men (and women) who get turned on by hot strong chicks who can kickass and physically dominate their men. Some guys act on this by focusing on women with muscle (see sites like herbiceps.com), some guys go for women can literally wrestle them down (see grapplinggirls.com or wb270.com for a huge list of women you can wrestle if you pay) and some guys...like superheroines. I like all three! Tell your girl to grow up and get willing to share her own fantasies with you - they are probably even kinkier. - CaptainCarolina

"Can't Spell Neologism Without Gism" -- that deserves some sort of medal!
273
How about Peniscus?
275
I can't believe it took 74 comments for someone to hit the nail on the head.

Dan, I'm sorry, but you really missed the boat on that one. You must not realize how painfully insecure almost ALL women are about their myriad physical flaws. When SUPER said "Sometimes I fantasize about superheroines", his GF heard "Your body will never be good enough for me." Her reaction was probably bad, but cut her some slack. We girls never can meet that fantasy standard, and most women have trouble accepting that that's okay.
276
Rgirl, I simply disagree with letting her off and not criticising her. Not that I am saying he should automatically dump her but I think this would need to be addressed, she is wrong and it was unfair. She might be insecure about it but it does not excuse her actions and I do not see why anyone should cut someone slack for acting in an immature way based on their insecurities. She is an adult and has to be grown up. She might have interpreted what he said incorrectly but that is her issue, not his (unless he really did fumble when explaining this but we will never know. As with all letters here we can only go on what is written, the rest is speculation, sometimes more informed than others). Everyone is insecure but when we act on these in an unfair way we are still unfair. Understandable but still wrong.
277
Maybe SUPER's girlfriend was freaked out because the way SUPER worded his fantasy makes it seem kind of creepy. I mean, his first mention of a sexy super heroine is Super Girl, and she's a teenager. Then he starts talking about his "inner pubescent boy." It makes him sound like kind of a pedophile. Or like he's still stuck being attracted to the young teen girls he was attracted to when he was a teen himself- as if he hasn't grown past that stage. Maybe that's why she called him immature and said it seemed like he was disturbed.

He might have gotten a better reaction if he'd just said he was attracted to more age-appropriate super heroes, like Wonder Woman and Cat Woman, and left out the stuff about the pubescent boy inside of him.
278
"Elmers" is the obvious answer to the coming out kinda white drying hard and clear stuff.
279
deseret-

assuming that a man talking about his inner pre-pubescent boy is somehow pedophilia is just retarded. if that was the reason she freaked out on him, he should dump her for being a dumbass, if for no other reason. oh, and supergirl? she had tits and hips. maybe not as round and big as wonder woman's, but big enough not to qualify fantasies about her as pedophilia. people who get all worked up about this kind of thing don't deserve to be humored.
281
CAR and her BF sound like real-life vampires and I don't mean that in a good way. I think they're much lower than SUPER's (hopefully) ex. She sounds like just an insensitive snot and there's always hope that she learned her lesson. But CAR and BF just keep using people and thinking they're awesome for doing it. Yig.

and I vote for "sement"! The infamous names of Palin, Boner, Beck, Limbo et all really deserve something a lot worse. It almost has to involve diarrhea, pus, vomit, or rotted animal carcasses, or all four.

Instead of sement which has the homonym problem, let's go with:

penisement

Don't pronounce the first two syllables like "penis" but like "penicillin"
288
"Sement" is the best option posted so far.

It's good for both men and women to pee after sex. Bladder infections are no fun.
289
Dan! Let's call the semen plug a "Foley Plug" for US Rep Mark Foley, the foremost opponent of child pornography in the Senate, who was scandalized for sending teenaged Congressional Pages sexual emails for years. And, Foley Plug seems like it could also be a component of the urination facilitator the "Foley Catheter."
290
Although I know Sement has by far the most votes, Rush Limblock gets mine for the win.
You could park a car in the shadow of his ass!
291
Poor girl, how has she never had a fantasy about fucking Batman?

SUPER's gf is the type of girl I can thank for giving every decent man I have slept with some sort of complex about sharing sexual fantasies.
292
I've been calling this STUCK EYE for years, but I must say I do like sement.
293
CAR is delusional if she thinks her BF isn't saying things to the other women that make them believe he will leave her. I met a man in this situation before and he trash talked his GF constantly. Of course, one would believe he would leave someone he felt so adamantly about, but always had BS excuses why he couldn't. He "couldn't" because he had a dumb bitch at home that didn't realize how bad he made her look and the fact that he could do whatever he wanted. Yet, I met another man who was totally upfront saying he wanted to date me, but I should know he's into open relationships and always will be. Kudos to him for being honest and letting a woman decide what she will/will not accept. CAR is a fool and they deserve each other. But hey CAR, you might want to actually find out the truth before you assume it's the outside party that has issues. I'm willing to bet that the issues are YOU, you stupid bitch!
294
I vote calling it Republicum. You know, because it's all about obstruction.
295
i'd say the bit of cum that keeps you from peeing at night is a palin. short, sweet, and equally obnoxious.
296
A little harsh to CAR, I think. Some girls are just really, really, really immature. You can tell them from the beginning, "No, we're not breaking up." You can tell them, "No, he's not leaving me for you." You can be as honest and direct and blunt as you can possibly be, and they STILL get attached and heartbroken when WHAT YOU TOLD THEM WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ended up happening after all. Some girls are just stupid like that.
297
@246: um.....that's what's WRONG, MarkyMark.
Patriarchal societies.
298
CAR, You're an ass and you are NOT respectful.

Start with this, "Because our relationship with each other is always more important than she is."

If you start with the assumption that anyone besides the two of you is less important than your relationship, you begin by defining them as disposable. No one wants to be treated that way and that's why you keep hurting people. If you just want to fool around at times with people and don't want to pursue serious relationships with them that treat them as equals, hire someone or advertise for a play partner. Join a swinger's club. Find a sex club. Don't pretend that you're dating and pursuing a relationship with them.
299
@5 Why do people always suggest that Dan has a bias towards gay OR straight relationship advice?

Not putting in the time and effort to extend that obviously disaster-waiting-to-happen-relationship has everything to do with the fact that it was only the first time they'd slept together and that it wasn't a deep and meaningful relationship that needed to be nursed back to life.

Way to project your sexuality-bias on other people, douchebag.
300
I think SUPER's girlfriend's reaction was a major red flag. Unless she apologized in the next week, I think she should be toast.

It isn't just that the fantasy bothered her, it's that she psychoanalyzed her boyfriend and diagnosed him as a villainous, sexist, immature neurotic.

If something bothers her, or makes her jealous, she needs to take responsibility for her own emotions and reactions, instead of pointing the finger. If she reacted badly in the moment, she needs to apologize promptly and initiate a mature discussion. If she can't do that he needs to dump her.

I agree with Dan that this is a red flag for a manipulator or abuser.

If my boyfriend told me he was into scat or incest fantasies, I might be disturbed, even as a longtime Savage Love reader (yes I know these fetishes are common but they still gross me out). However, I hope I would at least understand that my reactions or feelings of insecurity and grossness are just feelings and don't mean that the other person is Ted Bundy. I don't have to like it, but I don't have to call the other person names either.

The girlfriend's crime isn't being vanilla or boring in bed. It's leaping to accusations and her attempt to shame her boyfriend that make the whole thing disturbing.

I was going to suggest "Boner Booger", but then I read "Sement". Nevermind . . .

I think that dried stuff on the end of your dick is called smegma. I think that this is a Yiddish term.

I believe the term you are looking for is SMEGMA. Noun, the dried up semen on the end of your penis that appears after coitus.

actually, smegma is incorrect, smegma is a "cheesy substance", ...a combination of exfoliated (shed) epithelial cells, transudated skin oils, and moisture...it's on the outside and it's not hard, but smeary, like cream cheese (sorry if you're eating and reading!). he's talking about a drier crust that builds up inside his urethra. and actually, smegma is greek for soap. i don't get the connection except for the thought that when smegma occurs, you need soap. btw, smegma happens to girls too..and not just humans.

as for the brother who needs to come out...it's true..he does. there is a huge amount of emotional baggage that builds up when you have to hide your true self away from people, especially the people closest to you, your family. how do i know this? i'm doing it. i knew i was bisexual by the time i was 9 and slept with a girl shortly after i slept with a guy for the first time. But, I live in a VERY small town, in a very conservative state...and my family wouldn't understand, except maybe my gram. the rest would just think i was trying to get attention or being a slut. i moved from this small town to a huge city after high school. i got to be whoever and whatever i wanted to be. i didn't have to censor myself, watch what i said...nothing..just free to be me. after about 6 years of this, i was forced to move back to my hometown due to circumstances beyond my control..and with moving back came shutting my true self down. only my husband knows. it feels like i'm lying every minute of everyday. it feels like i'm cheating myself, like i'm denying a huge part of me just to avoid conflict. someday i'll leave here and be who i am, but there'll still be part of me that knows i'm suppressing WHO I AM to the people i'm closest to...and that causes a major mindfuck. don't do it to yourself if you can help it..just like Dan says about coming out, the only time you shouldn't is if you are dependent on your family for basic needs, like i am, where it would be detrimental to you, not just a problem your family needs to get the hell over. ...by now, there's little need to tell them, since i'm married, but there's part of me that wants to anyway, part of me that's tired of being repressed, part of me that's so freaking tired of hiding myself and feeling guilty for being me...for being bi. don't do this to yourself if you can at all help it. you'll feel so much better, not matter the outcome, (better to have your family upset than to live a lie forever) and your therapy bills will be SO much cheaper.
