Fascinating. Can I add that every time I hear The Wiggles singing “Fruit Salad” (“yummy yummy!”), I think “tossed salad?” It’s so wrong… ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] Well, if you folks are to be believed, it’s an asshole. Is there such a thing as a frexh delicious asshole? I say no. Even if I look like I shit chocolate icecream, I can assure you that’s not the case. 😃 [/QUOTE] Well, everyone has their own level of what they’re comfortable with, and that’s fine, but this really isn’t as bad as it sounds (and isn’t that a ringing endorsement). Believe it or not, yes, I _do_ happen to find my girlfriend’s ass to be both “fresh” and “delicious”. Maybe it _is_ just a guy thing, but I haven’t heard any complaints from her end. Besides, as we all know, girls don’t poop. Really, though, as long as you’re a normal, clean person, there’s nothing gross or dirty about it. I’m fairly certain urine comes out somewhere near the clitoris, and I’m more than happy to put my mouth on that. 😉 ---

I always feel terrible after “tea-bagging” my partner, but it is winter here and if I get up to make the post-coital tea and the heater is off, I just don’t fancy standing around naked making a pot. So tea bags it is. ---

In Pannatti’s Extraordinary Endings, he mentions that the Egyptians use enemas. They sculpted the nozzles to look like ibis heads- having observed the ibis use its long neck and curved beak to clean out its own cloaca. So, I was not especially surprised when a book on homoerotic religious practices turned up the fact that the ancient Egyptians refered to analingus as an ‘ibis kiss’. Re Ibis Kissing I doubt Shakira or Jennifer Tilly have a body part I wouldn’t lick. Re Tea Bagging I agree that many of the others are simply dirty jokes. There is a very obvious reason you do not hit, choke, or otherwise anger your partner during oral sex. ‘I tried to give my girl an angry dragon. She almost bit off my penis’. It’s easy to see how having the scrotum sucked could be pleasurable to the recipient, and not much of a stretch to see how it could be pleasurable to the giver.

[QUOTE=WordMan] I am surprised no one has referenced Chris Rock and his legendary HBO special “ **Bring the Pain** ” where he goes on an extended riff about avoiding going to prison so you won’t have to toss anyone’s salad.

To answer your poll, no, I did not have an accurate idea of what “tossing your salad” meant. I thought it was a blow-job (my husband didn’t know, either - he thought it was masturbation.) So, ignorance has indeed been fought here today. 😃 ---

It’s just a dumbass fake sex act invented by fratboys (and probably fratboys who weren’t getting any.) Rimming, on the other hand, there’s nothing wrong with. And I doubt it originated in prison - I bet people have been giving each other rimjobs since time began. I’m not sure where the term “tossing salad” came from, but I bet it was popularized by the Chris Rock routine involving jelly and syrup that **Least** paraphrased earlier.
