Eat Me

Comments

1
I wonder how many cocks Dan plans on sucking on inauguration day.
2
Well, SOMEONE has an oral fixation.... having déjà vu with the first letter...
3
I bought my wife a Hitachi last year and she prefers it to me.
4
I am not a Hitachi Magic Wand fan. But a big thumbs-up to those "rabbit"-style dildo/vibrators.
5
@ 3 - Buy yourself a fleshlight and start neglecting her (or use the time-honoured way of spending all your free time watching online porn).

If she reacts, you can have a talk. If she doesn't, you can get a divorce.
6
@5 wow dude chill out. Most people love to masturbate. Most vulvas enjoy orgasms. Most vulvas obtain orgasms from deep, steady vibrations. Most vulvas might even enjoy them more than the old in-out pumping and awkward fumbling that might not result in an orgasm half the time or ever. No need to jump to spousal neglect or to threaten divorce over those basic facts of straight sex. Yes, I do think human partners offer other perks over vibrators. Amongst other things they are warm, cuddly, smell good and share chores. But sure, get a fleshlight if it makes you happy.

"On the other hand, flying is expensive and lodging in DC isn't cheap. Perhaps our registering-our-opposition-to-Trump money could be better spent"

Yup. Don't show up and donate to action groups like the ACLU.

They need the money much more than spending it on tourist activities.
8
@5: Is there something you're responding to? That was a rather heated reply to a dumb joke.
9
My fantasy is that tens thousands of people holding candles will surround the White House on the eve of the inauguration in a silent vigil. That would make a more powerful statement than a few people turning their backs, and would make a stunning visual. Spread the word.
10
@ 6, 8 - The one who needs to chill is you, Mx Strange. I was just being silly.

I guess you two don't get my sense of humour. That makes me so sad.
11
I think they are all a little dazed, Ricardo. Those of us who live in real democratic countries maybe need to treat them with care as they face what's ahead.
Of course the rest of us will get our turn being subjected to the maniac trump, as he starts wars and helps strengthen ISIS with more recruits.
12
Isn't gaining admittance to the inauguration ceremony itself incredibly difficult even for supporters? Seems to me tickets would be hard to get unless you're out in a crowd somewhere where no one would be paying attention to you anyway. Attending the Women's March On Washington sounds like a better plan.
13
@LW 1 FULL, this is Centurion card level. Invitation only.

@LW 3 PP if you're within a day's distance of DC round trip, go! I went on many marches in my 20s, for choice, for LGBT rights, etc. They are symbolic and mostly people in the area and so the expense is minimal in terms of diverting from other donations, and young people should protest injustice. (We all should, but frankly, the young and the old have more time and the young can tolerate cheap travel and physical discomfort easier. Mid-career it gets difficult to find time and the body is not as forgiving...)
14
@ 11 - You're right, Lava, I should be kinder. But as you point out, we'll soon also be the victims of all this, and please allow me to doubt that there'll be much concern in the U.S. about our fate then.
15
Jill Stein is requesting a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. They need to raise $2.5 million to cover the filing fees by Friday, and have already reached $1.5 million. Donating to that cause would at least be a small action that might lead to a big result. Here's the link: https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/reco…
16
Twi_hr @3: Use the Hitachi with her. Don't you want to have a hand, so to speak, in those amazing orgasms she's having?
Confidential to Twi_hr and Ricardo: Humour on the internet is not always obvious. (Particularly, as Lava says, in these tense times when everything said on the internet is a minor misinterpretation away from a full-blown war of words.) Try a winkyface emoticon so that we can tell when you're joking. ;)

Nocute @4: Ha, my advice would have been "skip those rabbit-style toys, they're all hype and awkwardness. Go for the simple designs. No one wants to be fiddling about with positioning or six different buttons when they are close to orgasm."
17
@ 16 - The thing about my twisted sense of humour, Bi, is that I enjoy saying things that are obviously absurd/ridiculous/outrageous just to see who's going to take them seriously. It reveals so much about that person.

Sure, some (many?) people would call that trolling. I call it taking the piss.

Besides, we're not talking about politics here.
18
Ricardo @17: I inadvertently set off a flame war on Facebook last night about THE MUPPETS.
I meant it when I said tensions are high.
19
And all it reveals about that person, IMO, is that they don't know you. A lot of people -- Commentor, Eudaemonic -- would say things that outrageous and actually mean them. The regulars here all know each other but the occasional commenters don't.
20
Below is link to Change.org petition to encourage members of the UNITED States Electoral College (who ultimately control the vote) to vote with their conscience and protect citizens from a harmful president.
Anyone- Anywhere in the World can sign this petition. PLEASE sign and share as much as you can. I -and millions of others-are truly scared about the future of the world in Donald Trump's hands. Thank you!

https://www.change.org/p/electoral-colle…

21
I'm a regular and can't tell that Ricardo is trying to be funny when he says things like that. I don't typically think of myself as humor-impaired, but a lot of nuance is conveyed through vocal modulation and in print things often take on a meaning we didn't intend. In my case, it doesn't help that Ricardo's avatar looks angry and combative to me--I think it predisposes me to see his comments as more attacks than they are often meant to be.

In the case of the comment @5 in response to the one @3, I just seen to be unable to see the humor, but I will take him at his word that it was meant to be funny.
22
An otherwise fairly whiny liberal, nowadays I pretend to be a good looser and follow a resolution to reach out. As such I’d like to lend a hand to all penises regardless of how they voted:
Vulva-havers get plenty toys because they talk about their needs and also vote at the cash register.
Not only we have fewer choices, flashlight and the like are some times challenging to use and always a bummer to clean.

Some toys I’d like to see should focus exclusively on the balls or the tip.
This Adonis pouch seems like a good idea but almost everyone seems to be out of them for some reason, even Walmart. You can still get them here for US $25, and the black vinyl type may also give one’s penis an SnM looks of some sort:
http://www.rainbowdepot.com/Adonis-Pouch…

This one looks like another not-so-good design, as the vibrating unit is located in one of the least sensitive areas of the testicular universe:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vibrating-Invisi…

When it comes to tip toys this one seems to be suicidal on multiple levels:
https://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Vibes-Bul…
The no opening is alarming, the weight must be challenging, and that futuristic look… All could make a great Wallace and Gromit episode.

I’d like to see an open sleeve of some sort that can be easily applied around the top part of the shaft with softer gel-like material around the tip, and a vibrating ring or more. The open end will allow ejaculation, and the top ring is wide enough to hold an open condom in case the need arises.

Any other blue or red penises who would like to chime in?
23
An inexpensive, healthy way to increase your load:
Few weeks ago we had a question by this guy whose wife is into this kind of stuff. One of my searches back then described short-term lecithin abuse.
Soy lecithin, 1,200 mg, 100 soft gels, $10 a bottle in many stores, “Promotes liver and reproductive health.”
No recommended daily use yet the advice, which I followed, called for four of them three times a day for two or three days prior to launching.
While this was nothing like the epic fake ones on the web I’m very glad to report that my liver was indeed promoted, no side effects were detected, and consumer reports also indicate an improved flavor.
Time to be thankful.

24
Ricardo; you are loved.
How can it not be about politics at the moment? The whole world is shaking at the prospect of trump as President.
25
I can attest to decades of joy from the Magic Wand.
26
So that is the definition of vore. This is one of many reasons why I love Savage Love so much-----I swear I learn something new regarding sex every week. For me, that's good.
@17 Ricardo: Ha ha! Thank you for offering a hilarious new definition of "taking a piss".
I needed a good laugh---and I think millions of others do, too right now, across the Divided States and around the world.
@20 single girl: I share your worries about a Trump future (I am still reeling!), and signed the petition regarding ending the out dated electoral college. Thanks for sharing the link!
@23 LavaGirl: I'll drink to that. The wineries are going to make a fortune off me. I'm considering giving myself a new nickname of Pink, after Pink Floyd (Roger Waters), and from here on out stay comfortably numb.
27
@26: Ooops--make that @24 LavaGirl, although @23 CMDwannabe, I like reading your comments as well and getting your feedback.
28
Happy safe, and healthy Thanksgiving to all honoring Turkey Day today (I know Canada had theirs already in October).
29
And thank you, Dan, Erika Moen, and Matthew Nolan for your helpful advice and suggestions for VIBE, as well.
30
One more post and then it's the next commenter's turn: thank you Dan, for also suggesting donations to ACLU, Planned Parenthood (I just did for both) and other noble causes for refugees the LGBTQ community to show that the vast majority of us U.S. citizens and registered voters do
NOT support Trump's bigoted, misogynist and xenophobic Evil Empire agenda.
32
@31 Hunter: While you are right that political discussion is indeed off this week's SL comment thread discussion, I'm with LavaGirl (@24). Some of us are having trouble with accepting and dealing with the projected and arrogantly announced horrors as of January 2017 and beyond the next inauguration. I'm still reeling about the total insanity of Trump taking over the White House and advancing his corrupt narcissist agenda upon the free world.
Kudos to you and Kath for finding Thanksgiving menu options with less mess and leftovers (your pork loin sounds wonderful). Wishing you a healthy, safe Thanksgiving. I am lucky to have a Community co-op (i.e.: organic sliced turkey breast instead of a whole bird) and what I can eat. I don't really have a reason, family or budget-wise, to bulk shop.
33
@32: Correction: make that "(hopefully!) MOST of us (not some) are having trouble with accepting and dealing with the projected and arrogantly announced horrors as of January 2017 and beyond the next inauguration". I'm still feeling sick about the disastrous results from November 8th and don't see recovering for a very long time.

Okay. Back to Savage Love and, for all those with voracious appetites, Eat Me.
34
@ 19 - Bi - Okay, you're right - generally. Undead knows me, though.

@ 21 - Nocute - I'm not in the habit of advising people to neglect their significant other. That was a plainly absurd post.

But if it's my avatar that confuses you, it's a shame. I chose it wisely. The marsupilami is a character in a French-language Belgian comic strip I used to read as a child, Spirou. The marsupilami is extremely sweet until someone pisses it off, then it gets really angry and strikes. Couldn't have found a more appropriate avatar. But really, it's a fun character, I swear.

Likewise, no actual harm is intended in my posts (unless it's clearly spelled out). It's all tongue-in-cheek.
35
@ 24 - Lava - When the world has become absurd, the only weapon I know is absurdist humour.

And now it turns out I'm misunderstood by everyone except Hunter. Wouldn't you know. But if it's true, as Hunter suggested @ 31, that Undead was actually answering Strange @ 6, my apologies to Undead and my thanks for understanding that I was just making a dumb joke.

@ 26 - Griz - "The wineries are going to make a fortune off me."

Now that's the spirit! A coger y a tomar, que el mundo se va a acabar.
36
Ricardo: I'm sure my buddies at google would tell me, I just don't know what a flesh light is.
Undead, who can get a little narky themselves, was talking to you.
If I had a nice juicy plant growing in my garden, and didn't have to go looking, I'd be spending my time holed up in my studio, listening to music, painting and smoking..
37
@ 36 - The fleshlight is a sex toy for men. Pretty popular nowadays, I gather. Can't tell you much more, as I'm not really into toys.

I understand how you feel. If I didn't have pharyngitis right now, I'd spend my days smoking too!
38
Nocute @21: I wouldn't have immediately known Ricardo was joking @5 either. It's possible @3 just hit a sore spot. I've certainly gone off on rants and I'm sure I will again! I read Undead as having responded to Ricardo, as quite a few people (other than, yes, Hunter, so what does that say) were unaware of the humour content. @3 was the (more) obvious dumb joke.

CMD @22: Having recently purchased a doggy-style enhancing cock ring with hands-free clit stimulator (http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p…), your eBay item appears more geared toward turning your penis into a vibrator for her pleasure. The Trinity looks very space-age indeed but yes, you'd have to remove it before ejaculating. Perhaps it would be good for fast-forwarding to the point of no return, but the lack of even a reservoir tip like condoms have seems a serious design flaw. I think there are more toys for women than men because fewer men have trouble orgasming organically, so there is that to console yourself with. Personally, my favourite sex toy is a fat spliff. Smoke up, come easily, no batteries required.

Auntie Griz @26: It's "taking THE piss", not "taking A piss", and it's British slang. Took me ages to wrap my head round the meaning, as it can mean both "taking the piss out of someone" (ie mocking them), or taking advantage -- "£50 for a vibrator? That's taking the piss." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_the…

Griz/Lava: A fleshlight is a flashlight-shaped (hence the name) tube with a soft latex inside that men stick their dicks into to masturbate.

Happy shopping day, all -- hope no one gets trampled in the annual bacchanal of consumerism.
39
Mr Ricardo @1 - Given Mr Savage's age, I'm going to guess that he's stretching the boundaries of monogamish. (I was planning to make the point if nobody else did, and looked for it on purpose.)

Resuming the tour, for which I was waiting for a sign , I leave YGG to Ms Cummins, as she seems already to have lived out the Ann Robinson version (it was actually the phrase with which she dismissed RuPaul-in-a-wig-and-dress). This makes her the obvious choice.

To allow those who might be so inclined the opportunity to guess, next bequeathed will be HSE.

RE VIBE
In our many years of "holy deadlock" (thanks Archie bunker) WE accumulated numerous toys. Some of them plugged in, some of them a person would wear, some ran on batteries and some were just well, interestingly-shaped things.
Sadly, Most have been thrown away, and the suitcase toybox is now a small briefcase toybox. The one toy that is used year in and year out is the hitachi magic wand and her accessories. Ours is developing an electrical short and must soon be replaced. Considering the cordless, but hate to take any chances in this important area.
Re Auntie G
@33 YUM! I did not overeat Auntie Griz and still have an appetite!
41
@LW3 - I feel physically and emotionally sick over the results of this election, but I worry about protesters at the inauguration - Trump and his people are not going to respect anyone's 1st Amendment rights, and you will not be safe. I think Dan has a much better idea. Make contributions, find places to volunteer if you can, but don't waste the money on a trip to DC which might also risk life and limb. It's going to be an America we don't recognize, folks, and while we need to fight that, we need to survive to do it.
43
SB53 @40: "I did not overeat Auntie Griz and still have an appetite!"
The importance of commas! ROFL
45
@38 BiDanFan: Thank you for the correction of usage of Ricardo's phrase: "taking the piss". I see the difference.
@40 sb53 and @43 BiDanFan: I was referring to the title of this week's Savage Love Column, "Eat Me"---not actually seeking getting vored, myself. I think you already knew that, though.
I hope everybody enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving. Mine has been filled with music, continuous VW care, cat-sitting, and---!!----I spoke to my brother and ex-sister-in-law for the first time in several months. After catching up on my own housekeeping and laundry, our theater has completed week one of our musical, White Christmas (Irving Berlin).
46
Wow------I guess we might not make it to the magic number this week?
Did the comment thread become voring?
47
Having marched in an inaugural parade I can confidently say, don't bother. You won't be anywhere near Trumps line of sight so your only hope is to get the attention of a news broadcast. Might happen. But imagine a bunch of people turning their backs on the macy's parade and you'll get a feel for how effective of a statement it will be.
48
@41 btmom & @47 celtic_naughty: I share your deep concerns about what is happening to this once-great, soon to become benighted country. I have been contributing all I can.
Anyway, I want to be as far away from Trumpzilla and his fascist goon squad as possible.
49
As promised, we have HSE next. I leave Holmes-Sun-Earth to Mr Hunter, in part because he would probably try to contest the will and claim something not left to him if he weren't mentioned at all, and in part because he is the logical choice for the office of forgetting information which will do him no good whatsoever. He has the temperament for it, and it could be a win all around here.

Next will be LMB, which may be my most popular bequest.
50
So, a bit of a slow week. Thanksgiving and all.
How did it go? It's the forty anniversary of The Last Waltz movie, that was held at Thanksgiving. And Obama still dragging his feet, being a total whatever, not dealing with Standing Rock, and all the native Americans he swore to protect. wtf.
Jesus, Obama pull your finger out already.
51
*Fortieth .. the brain is slowing down and with the heat..
52
Mr. Venn, I've just been catching up after a couple of weeks and saw your announcement of your upcoming departure. Reading your recent posts all at once is rather disturbing, with references to no “angel’s deigning to save me,” to collecting “sufficiently heavy stones”, and to various wills and bequests.

If you do have dangerous plans, and if they are partially motivated by your straitened circumstances, then perhaps the Tech Savvy At Risk Youth could put together an online fundraiser for you? You have been a valued contributor here for so many years -- I do think people would chip in to help. And that tangible support might encourage you to stay around and post more too, which would be good for all of us.
53
@49 vennominon: I am equally concerned by your comments about wills and references to bequeathments, and agree with Erica (@52). Please don't do anything dangerous. Your comments are valued here, and you do have quite a following with the comment threads in Savage Love. Please take care of yourself and stay well; I have been addressing health problems, too.

No Week in Review this week, Hunter (I'm assuming because of the low number of responses)?
54
And nobody can cry "VORE!" upon reaching 69? Sad.
55
@50 LavaGirl: Yeah, I know, right? President Obama--wake up and PLEASE stand with Standing Rock! While you are still in office, defend federal Native American Treaty Rights since 1855! This effects ALL of us who are not among the 1%. I have emailed, called, written, donated, and have kept active. I am worried sick about the futures of my nieces, nephews and great-nephew, who, at age 10 had no say in this year's disastrous electoral travesty. He will still have to wait two more presidential terms before he can vote----if ever at all.
56
@EricaP: Here's one of several explanations Venn has offered for why he's leaving:

But the aura here has shifted too far. I'm out (or the position is extinct), and I have better things to do than stay on as a troll.

I'm inclined to take him at face value. You have to admit, the aura here has changed.
57
I don't know Grizelda, we could chat away and try and make it there. Only a few posts left to go.
ill be getting the latest album from the weeknd this week. Got a couple from two Australian musicians/ singers. Young guys, one of whom is gay and proud.
Hot as here, once it gets to about four or five PM, it gets bearable. I have a love/hate relationship with spring/ summer here.
Good to hear you're in a musical. Well done. Yeah, music helps.
60
Hunter @59: Did Seandr tell you that he was quitting the boards because of the "humourless hounding of his het male pov"? I for one enjoyed reading a het male POV which was expressed articulately and without disrespect for the opposite gender, which was a breath of fresh air amongst het male POVs, particularly those arising in anonymous forums (fora?). He and LateBloomer are definitely missed by me.

I would propose a footnote to your review, stating that Vore's letter attracted silence due to previously being featured as the SLLOTD.
62
I'm pretty sure being a safe space for minorities would have been part of the reason Dan set up SL.
63
Hunter @61: Interesting, I do hope he comes back. Perhaps if he's message-able, I'll drop him a line. As to why some SLLOTDs get further comments when they appear in the weekly thread and this one didn't, I reckon it's the esoteric-ness of the subject matter (few of us have experience with this sort of thing), and people mainly being focused on politics. Personally, I quite like the idea of having a space to distract myself by talking about a favourite subject -- sex -- but I understand Dan and other commenters can't or don't want to switch off just yet. Also, sad as it is to say, the letters that offer a clear-cut gendre war (I'll adopt Venn's spelling in his honour) tend to draw the most comments. When everyone agrees with an obvious DTMFA, fewer arguments break out.
64
@60 BiDanFan: I miss Seandr's and LateBloomer's het male POVs, too, for the same reasons you have given. And well said (@63) regarding comments about an obvious DTMFA scenario.
@62 LavaGirl, Dan, and everyone: Thank God and Goddess for Savage Love!
65
@59 Hunter (only 10 away from the magic number!): I'm guessing that the paltry response to this week's SL might be due, at least in part, to the continued numb feeling of shell shock many of us (myself included) still reeling have from the bloody aftermath of the recent universally disastrous general election.
66
@57 LavaGirl: Bless you. Hope it doesn't get too hot for your spring & summer.
Yeah, music, cats, and my beloved VW are all a big help in maintaining my health
and sanity. After a two-day break, it's Week #2 of our local theater's production of
"White Christmas".
67
One....
68
...Two.....three......
69
"VORE!"
70
I guess I got one wish granted this week after all, post haste (@54).
71
Nicely done Grizelda.
72
For an inexpensive vibrator, $22, the Orchid G is good. The vibrating egg is in the tip, which is nice: http://www.babeland.com/Babeland-Orchid-…
