No, no I didn’t say that. At. All.  
I was commenting on how men talk about things as compared to how women talk.  
Sorry if I hi-jacked.

So which hand do you use, if you use your hands at all (vibrators, etc.)?

I use the dominate right hand to navigate through the internet while left hand keeps Mr. Little Methyl stimulated until I come upon the ultimate porn pic/video whereupon righty takes over and finishes the job.

I’m single, no kids…just for the record.

That is _so hot_. Unless that means “never mind”!?

I’m right handed for almost everything. Ambidextrous for self-pleasure.

I’ve heard a latex glove can feel like a partner.

Beats getting pins and needles during the act.

Luxury! I had to use sharp sticks and rocks from the empty lot down the street.

Is it a real euphemism?? I’m a fan of the band and the song, I thought it was about a calendar 🙂 Ignorance fought - 20 years on!

Especially if you want to pretend that your partner is a dental hygienist.

It would be like having to wear a condom…for a handjob. Yay! 😞

Apparently enough of one as to be [in the UD](http://dating-miss-michigan.urbanup.com/1688299). Which, upon examination, does not mean much.

It really is. 😃

Before there was Urban Dictionary or Mustard Plug I had heard and used that euphemism while living in Michigan. I only recall the designation of the left as Miss Upper Peninsula among my social circle as a follow-on to the more widespread joke. I wouldn’t assume it was just a creative friend as opposed to one who heard that modification elsewhere.
