[QUOTE=Boyo Jim] Maybe the question could be restated. If your SO could had Simmons-like tongue inserted to replace the original, would you find that an additional turn-on? [/QUOTE] no. ick. ---

[QUOTE=Sophistry and Illusion] This is bad news for **Giraffe**. There goes his best pick-up line. [/QUOTE] No. See, **Giraffe** is not repulsive. Sure, he may do repulsive things (remember the sandwich incident?), but he’s otherwise okay. Gene Simmons, on the other hand, is just repulsive through and through. If I were to have sex with him – and I can’t think of any good reason to do so – I’d have to bathe in a vat of antibiotics for a week to kill the cooties. So, yeah, put me down as a “ewww”. Robin ---

in reading this I kind of wondered why all the hate for old Gene Simmons. In most of the print interviews I’ve seen with him, he comes across as quite intelligent. So I [went to his website](http://www.genesimmons.com/) and clicked on the trailer for his reality show, and …ummm… yeah… he and his plastic surgery loving, skanky wife are pretty sleazy. IMO he’d look lot a lot better for his age if he trimmed that brillo mop of his down a bit. ---

To the original question: Yuk. No. To **Boyo Jim** ’s question: Also no. My husband is entirely adept at cunnilingus. Having a larger tongue would not make him more so. And having it out flopping around (at any size) is just _nasty,_ not a turn-on. And _especially_ not a visual turn-on. Again – yuk! ---

Good God no, no, a thousand times no. Not on Gene Simmons, not on Hayden Christensen or Shia LaBeouf or Clive Owen or any other man since the dawn of time, NO. A gigantic, freakish tongue just makes me gag at the thought. Ew. Any guy I’ve ever known who’s done some stupid “come hither” little trick with his tongue to show off has not aroused me in any way, only repulsed me. ---

Ew, ew, ew. I do think he seems to be a pretty good dad though - except his seemingly insatiable need to make money. Yucky though. More power to Shannon. Maybe he was sexier before people knew what was behind the make-up? ---

[QUOTE=JRDelirious] Well, Shannon seems happy after all these years. But on behalf of normally endowed gents everywhere, we want to thank Gene’s tongue (and Ron Jeremy’s schwang) for being associated witha man who apparently does not impress the average female that much… 😉 Y’know, seeing the frontman of KISS play a neurotic putz who deliberately affects a character of “public superstud that’s ‘whipped’ at home”, is funny. But it confirms my reaction back in the 80s when they took off the makeup: Um, no, guys, as “normal” people it’s no fun. [/QUOTE] The best part of the show, IMHO, is seeing his son. Who has inhereted the tongue and is very hot. I’d hit that. ---

According to [deadoraliveinfo.com](http://deadoraliveinfo.com), Gene Simmons is three months younger than my husband. His tongue does nothing for me. My husband’s on the other hand… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-women-re-gene-simmons-tongue/445117.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-women-re-gene-simmons-tongue/445117.md?page=4)
