Sex

The Japanese associate sex with toys - note the eleven interchangeable heads - and the Americans with food - 'the big hit was mayonnaise'. The British, of course, associate sex with the loss of empire and house prices.

  1. ...and here's me thinking it was all about discipline.

  2. Have you been up all night thinking about that ? Strange - in this weeks new scientist, a brief mention of 'Meet me' - 'a buttoned down, sex-free online world' launched in Japan. I can't think the Americans would go for a mayonnaise free version.

  3. What time zone is it in Notting Hill ? I think you've put your clock back a month early...

  4. Incidentally, are you going for a new hit record with the title ?

  5. Once upon a time, the Irish associated sex with immorality or sin. It was subterranean, forbidden and dirty. Now it's bloody everywhere and associated with everything. I think we should go back to the forbidden and dirty phase. Then it was a case of: "I know it's wrong, but it feels so right" and now it's "I know it's right but it feels so wrong". Does that make any sense?

  6. I don't know what a "corn dog" is. Something to do with the Bible? Now I don't want to.

    A comment on the Wired article produced quite a good new word: teledildonics, "operating sex toys via the internet". I'm wondering whether this blog has teledildonicious tendencies on the grounds that Bryan's female admirers probably think he's a bit of a sex toy. I guess Nige's huge nose rules him out of that one, but the Japanese could well have a sex toy for that, too. Or it could be a case of "telegrouchonics", operating Groucho Marx impersonators via the internet.

  7. I associate sex with certain ecstasy followed by warm contentment. But, then, my husband is a great lover.
