SEXUAL METAPHORS: the good, the bad, and the so-bad-it's-good

[pr0flupin]

Curious as always, I was wondering: do you have any favorite (and least favorite) sexual metaphors? Especially those from songs, books, movies, or art...

Often (maybe too often) my favorites are so bad they're good. Like the opening scene in Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove," with the planes refueling in flight. Kills me.

Here are a few others:

I'd like to say that I could list some for you but I am honest-to-gawed the most oblivious person in the world. if someone doesn't say 'look, dumbass, he's talking about sex right there', I'll probably miss it.

However, Georgia O'Keefe is about the biggest PERVERT the art world has ever seen. I did realize that at about age 14 or so.

Yeah... remember how, at age 14, almost EVERYTHING was one giant reminder of sex?

"Dude, look at that light fixture! It looks like a boob!"

My best friend tells her kids they're "having a meeting". That one just cracks me up for some reason. Can you imagine what kind of images these kids will have when they grow up and people say that?

[pr0flupin]

Oh, yeah! Mommy and Daddy are having a "meeting..."
...of interlocking parts!

LOVE this post!

I'm gonna think about it and get back to you.

So... "think about it and get back to you" is actually a metaphor for sex, right?

Georgia O'Keefe is such a brilliant artist. I love her 'flower closeups.'

The metaphor of her sex is so brilliantly laid out in the form of foliage.

She had an ironic way of eroticizing bleached bones and skulls too.
