Q My girlfriend and I are into male-orgasm denial. We’ve recently tried putting Orajel on my cock and then covering it with two condoms so she can use me as a dildo without me getting off or even feeling anything. It works great. Is there any chance of long-term health issues if we do this once a week or so? —Numb-Dicked Dude

Any responsible sex-advice professional would read the paper in its entirety and inform you about the likelihood that you’re killing off cock cells when you smear them with Orajel Advanced Tooth Desensitizer. But I’m an alarmist sex-advice professional, not a responsible one, so I’m just going to lay that title on you one more time: “2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) Is a Potent Inducer of Apoptotic Cell Death in Human and Mouse Cells.” I don’t know about you, NDD, but I’ve always erred on the side of not smearing my dick with shit that potently induces death of any kind.
Q I’m a gay guy, 25, in great shape, no STDs. To make me happy, any long-term relationship will need to have a strong BDSM element to it. And I’m having a lot of trouble finding a BDSM relationship that makes me happy. If I mention my BDSM needs up front when I meet a guy, I get the “never done it, never will” response or “ew, gross.” When I date a guy before I mention it, the guy is usually willing to try it (even difficult stuff like CBT and e-stim), but it’s always because he likes me and wants to get me off. So while I’m feeling the pain, I’m not feeling dominated. And when I try to find guys specifically into BDSM (leather bars, fetish Web sites), I only find physically unattractive guys.
“No, no, no, no. A gift from one person to another is not illegal—that’s the bottom-line answer,” said D.J. Rausa, a lawyer in private practice in California who I found via the “Kink-Aware Professionals” listings at the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. “The government is not going to be interested in a gift, in any gift, unless they can tax it.” So unless that dog collar is solid gold and the word slave is spelled out on it in big fat diamonds, NAGL, the IRS doesn’t give a shit.
Good to know. But many men will be disappointed to learn that they can only use this toy when they’re watching porn. Here’s hoping that RealTouch 2.0 has more functions.
