Here's a new one. It seems that My Gay Boyfriend (neither gay nor my boyfriend) isn't all that fond of getting blowjobs. I did not find this out by going down, mind you.

We were on the phone last night discussing the events of Sunday evening. I'd gone over to his place in the East Village to have dinner and watch Brenda fuck her way through another episode of "Six Feet Under". Meanwhile, in the room across the living room, My Gay Boyfriend's (truly) gay roommate was having sex. As I am one to get off on guy on guy action, I kept making MGB mute the tube so I could hear the live show better. Later, we kept hearing sounds of kissing, or what we thought was kissing. But it was weird. It sounded more like a faucet dripping.

The next day, MGB did some investigating over breakfast with the roommate. Turns out those were the sensous sounds of suckage. So MGB reveals this to me over the phone last night and we're thinking what kind of retards are we that we didn't realize this? But the revelation MGB made to me then was what really blew me away. He's not a big fan of fellatio. Now, I've never heard this before. I've never been with anyone who didn't fully appreciate my mouth down south and I have to say, I'm disappointed. It's one thing that I always thought was a no-brainer. Going to the bathroom, for example. What pleases men more than a good shit and a hearty hummer? Then again, I claim only to be experienced. I don't think I'm an expert on the matter of sex.

To discover that My Gay Boyfriend and reportedly a couple of other guys he knows, don't really love the BJs kind of bursts my bubble.

I know there are some women who don't enjoy getting orally sexified and I don't really understand that either. In both cases, I wonder if it's because they haven't been done "right" (which is, in my theory, totally subjective anyway).

This also raises other questions specific to the person who divulged this info to me in the first place. My Gay Boyfriend is great. I call him My Gay Boyfriend because a) he's a straight man who everyone assumes is gay and b) we went out on one date about a year ago. We're friends, but there exists sexual tension that, knowing both of us, will surely be acted upon one day.

Part of me knows that he isn't gay. But part of me thinks... maybe he is. And one could argue for either case. His roommate and best friend is gay. In fact, most of his friends are gay. That could make one think that he probably likes boys too, given all of his other tendencies and affectations (very effeminate, loves "Queer As Folk", uses lots of moisturizer, ). But I tend to think that if he was closeted, he has a built-in, supportive circle of friends within which he could come out. What would stop him? His ultra-conservative father who lives in Texas? Maybe. And now there's this blowjob issue. Not that distaste for fellatio is a gay phenomena, but it just makes me wonder all the more.

Anyway, this men who aren't into getting head thing is total news to me. Now I'm nervous. For the future, maybe I need to add to my internal list of date-inquiries a blowjob preference question. Like, "Smoking or non?"
