Cheese vs. Oral Sex, and Other Humpday Tidbits

Humpday has become my day for attending to all the miscellaneous stuff in my life. Today I skipped working out, stayed in bed with my laptop till 10, dug a big hole, and gathered links to interesting stuff I’ve been hoarding so that I could share them with you. 

1. There’s a new Sundance film called Humpday (about a hump of a very different sort), opening July 10. I can’t wait. As you’ll see, it’s about straight guys making a gay porn flick together. Everyone said I was insane when I wrote What Straight Men Can Learn From Gay Porn, but maybe straight men/gay porn is no longer an oxymoron? Here’s the trailer:

 

2. I came across the concept of Divatude on Twitter, and liked the sound of it, so I checked it out. Basically, it can be summed up as follows:

“You can look great and have an assumed confidence, but if all you do is stand guardedly observing instead of engaging, people are going to stay away, preferring someone that is receptive and outgoing.”

So get in there! Check out the whole blog post at Dating For Women Made Easy. And rock a divatude next time you go out hoping to meet a hottie!

3. A new variation on the age-old question: Why Doesn’t He Call?

Why Guys Flirt But Don’t Ask for Your Number, over at Datingish, which is quite a good blog authored by a number of different people. I like this particular post because it is by a guy, it is earnest, and it doesn’t blame the lack of follow-thru on his just not being that into you, which I never want to hear again! Also, if a guy flirts but doesn’t ask for your number, that’s fair. We may not like it, but it’s not as douchey as asking for our number and then going MIA.

4. Cheese or Oral Sex? 

In an informal survey, a college student named Bess Davis found that the vast majority of her acquaintances would rather give up oral sex than cheese. She was so distressed by these results (made even more offensive because she is a vegan), that she took the question to Googlefight. Oral sex got 14.5 million hits, but cheese scored a whopping 15.8 million.

I don’t know if she was trying to be funny, but here are some excerpts I found hilarious:

• “Cheese has been a part of human society for about 8,000 years. I’m guessing that oral sex goes back farther than that, but there is no archaeological start date for when people started going down on each other.”
  
• “Obviously, cheese is a big part of human food culture. It exists in cultures around the world in many different forms, but so does oral sex, in slightly fewer forms.”
  
• “I can accept that people love cheese, but it says something pretty sad about our society if people would rather give up oral sex than cheese.”
  
• “There can be a lot of sexual benefits to giving up cheese (and other dairy products). I think you’d be surprised how the flavor of bodily fluids can change when you alter your diet in small ways.”

Is there any doubt in your mind that this woman has a vendetta against cheese? I picture her tossing and turning at night while she dreams unhappily of Stilton and Cheddar.

I have to say, I feel especially torn about this question. When my husband is annoyed with me, he accuses me of preferring cheese to fresh fruit. Which I do, no question! I’ll take a wedge of Brie over a banana anyday. Or even strawberries. I have to have cheese every single day. I know you can live without oral sex, because many, many women do, but can you live without cheese?
