It’s not gay if it’s on the Mississippi (8/12)

[rinkafushi]

Last time on ~It’s not gay if it’s on the Mississipppi~: Our charming lovebirds had sex in the homely Louisiana swamp, and then got rescued by this narrative’s actual best boys, Mikhail and Valya. And I guess there’s still the whole cousin-murder and circus-kid plot in here, somewhere.

If you want to read the whole debacle from the get-go, start

I love how you stepped up recap with the emoji game (puke icon is so fitting), and I laughed out loud at the wise Dua Lipa. Also, can't believe oral sex was too kinky for the roaring 80ies, hadn't sexual revolution already take place by then? XD

Let's squint a bit at the 50 year time difference and imagine some Blue Grass band playing this on the Mississippi Rose. (Valya tips them handsomely with Nicky's money.)

Bwahaha, oh my sweet summer child :'D I want to blame America as the country of origin of this book, and they are very prudish no doubt, but it's overall an issue. Oral sex for women???? No way, that would imply that the woman's pleasure takes precedent, and that she like, actively... enjoys sex.... can't have that. Iirc the ratings for movies in the US obligatory become R-18 when there's oral sex performed on a woman (while you have all the blowjob jokes and innuendos in even PG-rated movies :'D). But even here it's still seen as somehow more explicit and shocking and provocative. Female agency is scary, idk.
