43. Intercourse and osculation...

Sat Sep 27, 2014, 11:42 PM

Sep 2014

... and I'll be the first to admit that I'm no Masters or Johnson on this topic...

...but it seems to me that there are certain anatomical considerations which place the pubic region of the male at least slightly below that of the female during intercourse. And, while I fully respect, and certainly applaud, the experience of those who enjoy climactic events with mouth engaged either in the lush bosom or the woolly chest hair of their partner, I...um, er, well...oh..have found that a oral kiss at said moment can be very fulfilling. (whew)

However, the truth is...whatever works, works. As Steve Goodman wrote (cover version here).

Way out on 42nd street
That's where the elite all retreat to greet
You can see them coming from everywhere
Every kind of man and woman you will find there

There are men who love women who love men
There are women who love women every now and then
There are men who love men because they can't pretend
They are men who love women who love men

And a new verse:

There are the short who make love to the the tall
Because it really doesn't matter at all.
And the superlative who have proved through the night
That no one's choice is really wrong or right
