Sex Talk Wednesday - Germophobes

Today's topic is courtesy of my FPOTP (favorite person on the planet). First, let me state that even though my FPOTP is of the opposite sex, and is VERY easy on the eyes, there is no romantic link between us. Kind of a never has been never will be sorta thing. But I do love him as my definition for love is extreme respect, admiration, awe and the willingness to do anything for that person. I love him but am not IN love with him - huge difference. He is allowed to know anything he wants to know about me - I have zero secrets from him - and oftentimes knows me better than I know myself. (There are very few people that fall into this category, by the way.) I am fortunate to have him in my life and even more fortunate that I get to see him several times a week because seeing him and talking to him always brightens my day.

Anyway, I learned today that my FPOTP is a germaphobe! I usually have very little tolerance for germaphobes because I just don't see what the big deal is, so it caught me surprise when I found out and HE seemed surprised that it angered me. So let me plead my case and to all of you lurkers out there, let's make this a real debate and fight the for or against germaphobes.

To set the scene for you, there is a new flavor of soda out in limited edition quantities. I happened to get my hands on a case and not knowing if he would actually like it - and not wanting it to be wasted in case he didn't - I offered him the first sip out of the can and if he didn't like it, I would just finish it up, no biggie. He refused to let me do this because he thought it was gross that I would be drinking after him.

Now, let's rewind a bit...this is the same guy who would be more than happy to share his food with me and of course my not being a germaphobe, I had absolutely no problem taking that bite of pie after he had had some first - sometimes even using the very same fork. Yet, now, all of a sudden, he has an issue with it? I'm sorry, but I take personal offense to that. I can understand for the true germaphobe that maybe he wouldn't feel comfortable taking a bite of pie after *I* had taken a bite, but if I'm taking the bite after he has and he no longer has anything to do with it, what's the big deal? Seriously...?

So that got me thinking about sex. Granted, it doesn't take much to help move me along in the direction of thinking about that particular topic. :] Think about when you are pleasing your partner. And I mean REALLY pleasing...the down and dirty stuff where you're putting your tongue places that in the heat of the moment is just fine but thinking about it the next day makes you blush. Do you think THOSE people are germaphobes? They would be hypocrites if they were, don't you think?

And that also reminded me about a stand up comedian...I wanna say Chris Rock, but I don't remember...who said something to the effect of when you have a one night stand and that next morning you really need to brush your teeth but you don't dare use that person's toothbrush because it's just too gross. Yet that night before you were putting your mouth in the nastiest places with that person. And somehow that toothbrush, even though you could - duh - rinse it under the hot water for several minutes first, would never be allowed to come into contact with your mouth because it's just too icky even thinking about.

I really don't understand this thinking.

Especially when you have those guys out there who say about a super hot chick "I would drink her bathwater". Because I've heard quite a few guys say that phrase in my day. And I don't think it gets much grosser than THAT. And these are the guys that would be the first to say that they would never let someone drink after them...?

Are you getting yet why I felt insulted?

It's that whole issue of since I'm not classified as a hot chick, it would be gross to ever let my lips touch something his lips have touched first?

It's not like he was gonna pee in the soda or cum in the soda or anything. NOW we're talking gross. I may be known to be a little kinky, but I'm not THAT kinky. And it's not like I was gonna take his DNA off the can and use it towards weird voodoo rituals or anything. (Hmm...betcha didn't think of THAT one, didja?)

So I still don't see what the big deal would have been. If he was afraid of getting me sick because of some phantom cold, then that's sweet of him to be concerned, but wouldn't that still be MY choice? It's not like it would be equivalent to kissing him or anything because I wouldn't be giving it back to him for there to be any kind of saliva exchange. Then again, I don't feel that way about him, anyway, so kissing him isn't even anywhere in the plans.

??

I can only think of one thing in his defense....just one. If he had just had a nooner and reeked of pussy and was going to drink out of the can and then give it to me, then you are correct...I would not want to drink from that can. Because as stated before, I like cock. I am not into pussy. So tasting another girl's juices on a can....that's just not my thing.

So come on. Come out of the shadows, put the boxing gloves on and let's go a few rounds with this. Germaphobes, give me your input on why this would be such an issue for you to have someone drink after you....even if you would never again touch the glass/can/cup after that person had a sip.

And for my FPOTP, even though your weird side is showing through, you know I still love ya, babe.

Vixy :]
