Gay Couple Writes To Sex Expert Asking How To Incorporate Food Into The Bedroom

A gay man recently wrote into a U.K. sex expert asking how he and his partner might include food in their bedroom shenanigans.

“My boyfriend and I are quite adventurous when it comes to the bedroom and we’re wondering whether we could use fruits and vegetables and other foods as part of our activities?” the man asked. “Is it dangerous to insert things like cucumbers and carrots?”

The sexpert responded by saying fruits and vegetables are “a great way to excite and reignite your sex life,” provided they are used responsibly.

“Using soft fleshy, non-acidic fruit such as honeydew melons or watermelons can be an exciting way to get new sensations,” the sexpert suggested. “Simply put a hole in it and thrusting in and out will provide interesting brand new feelings.”

Interesting, indeed.

“Alternatively you can always use other foodstuffs such as chocolate spreads or even Marmite,” the sexpert continued.

In case you’re wondering what the hell Marmite is, it’s a thick, sticky, salty brown paste made from yeast extract.

“To answer your question about carrots and cucumbers,” the sexpert advised, “extreme caution must be used when inserting anything into your butt that doesn’t have a handle or give good grip. Many people have ended up in A&E after failing to retrieve a cucumber, banana or carrot lodged in their rectums. A painful experience that can actually lead to death if left untreated. We would urge anyone who has gotten anything stuck up there to seek medical advice immediately, no matter how embarrassed you feel.”

Good to know!

The sexpert then recommends the couple use a proper dildo or vibrator for any sort of anal play, but “if you are going to insert a carrot, gherkin, cucumber or banana, make sure you’re relaxed. Some of these vegetables can be much larger than a penis, so using lots of lube and taking your time is a must.”

From Lovestruck Gay Teens To Defiant Lesbian Queens: There’s Something For Everyone At The TCM Film Fest

If you’ve read The Celluloid Closet, Vito Russo’s seminal primer for queer cinema, or watched the 1995 documentary it inspired, and wanted to experience the early depictions of gays and lesbian on the big screen, het ready to exclaim “Hooray for Hollywood!”

The 2015 TCM (that’s Turner Classic Movies) film festival will present big screen presentations of such landmark queer-interest films as Queen Christina, Calamity Jane, Rebel Without A Cause and The Children’s Hour later this week in the movie capital. Film buffs will have a chance to watch Greta Garbo, Doris Day, Sal Mineo and other silver screen icons portray coded LGBT movie characters that spoke to audiences when swinging open the closet doors was still taboo. Part of the fun at festivals like this is discovering unseen movies and if you’re not familiar with recently-departed film noir femme fatale Lizabeth Scott, you have a treat in store if you catch her in the steamy crime drama Too Late For Tears. The smokey blond bombshell with the husky voice was an intoxicating screen presence, but had her promising career compromised by being branded a “baritone babe” (code for lesbian) by the scandal rags of the 1950s. In if you just want some gay old entertainment in the classic sense of the word, there’s a lavish re-premiere screening of The Sound of Music with much of the original cast in attendance, including Academy Award-winners Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. So if you’ve already caught the latest film adaptations of Y.A bestsellers and Disney live-action remakes and happen to be in SoCal, brush up on your cinema history with the dozens of bona-fide classic alternatives here.

The festival takes place in Hollywood March 26-29. For more information, go here. Scroll down to see some of our picks for films you shouldn’t miss.

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

What’s gay about it: Two of the screens greatest bisexual actors (James Dean and Sal Mineo) are featured in their most enduring roles here in this enduring epic about teenage angst. Even the most naive of viewers will detect the homoerotic longing of Mineo’s Plato for Dean’s Jim Stark.

The Children’s Hour (1961)

What’s gay about it: In director William Wyler’s second film adaptation of Lillian Hellman’s play (his first was 1936’s de-gayed These Three), a vicious, manipulative child spreads a rumor that her two schoolteachers (Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine) are lesbian and ruins their lives in the process. Shirley, who will be interviewed after the screening, has spoken in the past about how they botched the picture and there was never any discussion of the film’s lesbian themes during the shooting of the movie.

Calamity Jane (1953)

What’s gay about it: The great Doris Day stars as the tomboy-ish titular heroine of the Wild West who can hold her own against the roughest cowboy, but her jaw drops when she sees a pretty lady for the first time. The film’s theme song “Secret Love” was instantly adopted as an anthem about being in the closet.

Boom! (1968)

What’s gay about it: When John Waters calls a movie his favorite, you know it’s going to be not only demented, but loaded with queer appeal. The film is adapted from Tennessee Williams’ play The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, stars legendary gay entertainer Noel Coward as “the Witch of Capri” and eternal icon Elizabeth Taylor in an outlandish series of gowns and headdresses.

Rebecca (1940)

What’s gay about it: This great gothic romance thrills audiences of all orientations, but Judith Anderson as terrifying housekeeper Mrs. Danvers caressing the panties of her former mistress…well, it’s just about the most sublime imagery for closeted lesbian longing in cinema herstory.

Queen Christina (1933)

What’s gay about it: Bisexual screen legend Greta Garbo has one of her most acclaimed roles — and written by her reputed lover Salka Viertel — as the lesbian monarch and though the censors of the time prevented an honest depiction, Garbo is often clad in men’s wear and is obviously smitten with one of her ladies in waiting.

Earthquake (1974)

What’s gay about it: There’s nothing specifically gay, but it’s a feast for camp lovers and probably the worst — and certainly the most unintentionally hilarious — of the many disaster films of the 1970s. Earthquake employs nearly every melodramatic cliché from the era and there’s the added bonus of Charlton Heston in clenched-jaw, savior of the western world mode and Victoria Principal bursting out of her T-shirt while wearing a wig best described as a Latina-fro.

Psycho (1960)

What’s gay about it: Alfred Hitchcock’s most-renowned thriller features Anthony Perkins, closeted for much of his life, in his signature role as murderous Mama’s boy Norman Bates.

The Loved One (1965)

What’s gay about it: Based on a 1948 novel by gay writer Evelyn Waugh, author of Brideshead Revisited, the film was billed as “the motion picture with something to offend everyone.” This tale that points a finger at the artificiality of Hollywood features a smorgasbord of gay performers including Tab Hunter, John Gielgud, Roddy MacDowell and even Liberace!

Imitation of Life (1959)

What’s gay about it: Queer cineastes have long held great reverence for director Douglas Sirk’s glossy melodramas and this is considered by many to be his crowning achievement. It’s easy to see a gay liberation message encoded in the story of a young black girl ashamed of her identity who tries to pass as white. Besides offering Lana Turner at her most glamorous, if you don’t cry during the film’s tear-jerking climax, you’re dead inside.

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

What’s gay about it: While World War 1 hero T.E. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole, pictured) isn’t overtly portrayed as the gay sadomasochist he was purported to be in real life, there are plenty of subtle hints about his orientation in this David Lean epic which remains one of the screen’s greatest achievements.

Like Hitler, LGBT Activists Are Recruiting Children, Peter LaBarbera Claims
Peter LaBarbera of the Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) is joining the chorus of right-wing voices to sound off on a queer activist’s controversial Huffington Post blog.

“Homosexual activists know that they have to change the minds of young people, like all radical movements,” LaBarbera said in a March 23 appearance on Voice of Christian Youth America’s show “In Focus,” Right Wing Watch first reported. “We saw this under the Communists, under Hitler. They need to penetrate the minds of the youth.”

He went on to note, “A school will bring in a gay activist, but they will never bring in an ex-gay, because that’s too risky. Because then kids can see that homosexuality is not about who you are, it’s about what you do. If you can practice homosexuality, you can leave homosexuality.”

LaBarbera, whose opposition to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is well-established, was sounding off on S. Bear Bergman’s March 7 blog, which features the tongue-in-cheek headline, “I Have Come to Indoctrinate Your Children Into My LGBTQ Agenda (And I’m Not a Bit Sorry).”

Many of the arguments seemed to focus on the segment of the blog in which Bergman, 40, reveals that he is at work on a six-book series for children that features queer themes for Flamingo Press, which he founded.

Among those to previously condemn Bergman’s words was Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, who wrote, “Now, having hoodwinked most of the country on their agenda, these extremists no longer have to hide. In fact, they are increasingly bold — almost boastful — about their real intentions.”

Meanwhile, Tim Brown of the Sons of Liberty Media deemed Bergman, who identifies as transgender, a “mentally ill woman who believes she is a man,” and implies that he is a “sexual deviant.”

The debate extended onto social media as well.

For his part, Bergman sloughed off the arguments, telling The Huffington Post in an email, “The first tactic of the powerful is never to refute someone’s opinion or defend their own position, it’s ALWAYS to use dehumanizing language in an attempt to shame the dissenter.”
