Look at the coin…

Isn’t it _soothing_?

Feel your body relaxing as A GIGANTIC INVADER PLOWS INTO YOU WITH ALL THE SUBTLETY OF **DUBYA BITCHSLAPPING FRANCE**!

Or perhaps it is a completely amazing experience that is akin to having a warm oiled supple rod worked in and out of you.

_fans self_

Damn. I need to get laid.

Of course, our Matt is quoting from Judy Blume’s newest book targetted at gay adolescents: _Are you there, God? It’s me, Harvey_.

> K, I understand how Gay guys have sex. But what I was kinda wondering (Yes, TMI, but I seriousely don’t know, otherwise I wouldn’t ask) _where does the bowel go?_ I know its kinda gross, but still… ever since I learned how it was that Gay people coupled, its been a question I haven’t been able to get anyone to answer…

Well, some men like to give themselves an enema before hand.

Others don’t because they don’t feel it is necessary.

It’s not like as one is penetrated, one… expels anything in the process.

Not all gay men “couple” in that way. There are some gay men who don’t like anal sex at all.

And really… it’s far from gross.

Thanks ever so much for clarifying that for me.

I never thought that the “coupling” action was gross, but only the thought of any “expulsion”, as **Mockingbird** put it.

I’m not confused anymore!  
Ok, that was a lie, but I’m not AS confused.
