Why Hot Monkey Love is so Hot

 A friend sends me a dazzling postcard from the island of Corfu in which he says this, and pretty much only this: German primatologists now know why monkeys scream during sex. In a study of Barbary macaques it appears that the female monkeys scream during sex because it helps the males ejaculate. When the females were noisey the male climax rate was 59% as opposed to 2% when they were quiet.
      Jeepers. Doesn't anyone just say "Having a great time wish you were here?" these days?
      Noisey sex keeps coming to my attention. First the monkey study, then a Britcom ...a Britcom...the most staid element of entertainment since the hymn....turns up with an episode about a couple of old swingers keeping everyone awake with their howling and bed-squeaking. When something is drawn to your attention twice in a brief time span it usually means something - I think it means I'm supposed to show you this clip - again, something I recently stumbled across - from "The Four Seasons," a 1981 comedy about three couples who vacation together every year. In this scene one of the guys has brought his much younger girlfriend on a boat trip with the other couples. They're all already driving each other crazy and the noisy screwing of the new pair add insult to injury. Classic: 
This is, by no means, encouragement for you to keep it down. Go ahead - let out your inner monkey. You know you want to make the neighbors jealous.

A Day at the Races

       So - has anything especially fast, slow, theatrical, queeny, nostalgic, crowd-pleasing, hot, aerodynamic, silly or record-breaking ever happened in your bed? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say it has. So the difference between you and this event is that your spectacle (probably) didn’t happen in front of a mob of drunks on as glorious an April day as you could order out of a goddamn Hallmark calendar.       This was the scene at the    Fairvilla Megastore   Conch Republic Red Ribbon Bed Race  down Duval Street in Key West, a benefit for AIDS Help, which took place this past Saturday. More than 20 businesses participated in this charity goodf allism, racing real beds which must be a certain size, have a mattress, four wheels that touch the ground, four runners pushing and be manned or womaned by one person.             Once you get past the rules the cool thing is outfitting your bed for maximum creativity – there was a coffin bed and a bong bed, and pirate

Say Ahhhhh: Drive-Thru Pap Smears in the COVID era

Image
        Listening to my friends talk about the COVID-19 test I thought it was going to feel like getting a lobotomy.      “They stick a swab so far up your nose, I felt like it was going into the back of my eye,” one said, but when free drive-through testing was offered in my little Florida beach town I went. I can pinch a penny until Lincoln starts crying and if something is free, I’m going to get one, even if it means being skewered like a corn dog.  The test was mildly irritating. You tilt your head back and they do, indeed, poke a swab up your snoot farther than you’d expect it to go. It felt like I’d been bike riding and got ladybug stuck up my nose, a sensation which lasted about 45 minutes after the actual sticking. It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated, but I’d anticipated getting my eyeballs yoinked out through my nostrils.  Anything else was emotional found money. What left a more lasting impression than the test was the joy of drive-through medical service. Si

Drumpf Scare: Why I Worry About the Drumpf Signs I DON'T See

Image
I have nerves like a chihuahua and since my traditional election night  vodka-and-Pepto has become too strong a beverage for me I just want  to be with like-minded people supporting Hillary Clinton. I asked a friend if he wanted to  join  me at a watch party.    “Can I wear my Trump undies?” he texted back. “Can I burn them in effigy? Not while you’re wearing them, of course,” I replied.  I was joking but the conversation gave me what I call Drumpf scare which is like a “jump scare,” the horror movie trope where a viewer jumps out of their seat in terror after being lulled into a false sense of calm. A Drumpf scares is when you realize someone you thought you knew might be a Drumpf supporter as I worried about my friend. It’s that same feeling as when you realize “The calls are coming from the inside of the house!” My guess is that there are a lot of dark Drumpfers out there, people who support someone I think of as the Hitlerian Cheeto, but who don’t want to be met
