    The feminist blogosphere explodes over dick

    That is one hilarious subheading. :D

    As far as it being gross.. Pretty much everything that comes out of the human body can be considered gross. But I think that to judge someone else's sexual preferences based on your politics, I don't mean this in a mean way, but that sounds like a personal problem. I mean, should fellatio be made illegal in place of that nasty, submissive anal sex act that just got legalized? Or is it only OK to get poked with a penis if you have one, too? Or is dick-poking only acceptable if a baby might be made from it? *gasp*

    I think people who consider dick-sucking to be "empowering" are just as mistaken as the ones who think it's an act of submission. Yeah, it can be empowering, and it can be an act of submission, and some people get off on one or the other of those things whether dick-sucking makes it into the mix or not (the fact that there are people out there getting off on submission/empowerment is a whole 'nother subject). But basically, oral sex is just meant to make genitals feel good. When people get together for consensual sex, making each other feel good (especially the genitals) is usually the goal.
