Friday Night Frights
Last night was interesting: I went straight from bridge club to a sex toy workshop. They were even next door to each other! Both were awesome - a couple of the girls at bridge decided they were getting drunk and going to bed early (because they were tired), so S. was playing hysterically badly. At one point, she was horrified to find that A. was going to make what S. had bid, which is so not supposed to happen.
At the workshop, the two women who spoke were funny and informative, and there was pad thai. I was also traumatized by her commentary on the history of circumcision, which got a large boost in the US from Kellogg and Graham, brother of Kellogg Cornflakes guy and he of the graham crackers, respectively. It was intended to reduce masturbation, and they also advocated "the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris [as] an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement." HOLY CRAP THAT'S NOT ON. We were such a good crowd, too - all the girls gasped in horror at that tidbit. Gee, wonder why that didn't catch on? The ladies also brought a metric ton of toys and lube and such that they passed around for examination. It was very educational! I took notes!
