TMI

Posted by funkyacademic on February 21, 2008

Tonight in class, while discussing an essay about tattooing and body piercing, a student announces that her friend “had her clit pierced and can now have an orgasm just by walking!”  Sometimes I long for the days when students were embarrassed by such things.

  4. I can just see Steven Tyler singing “walk this way. . .”

    Fact: this is true, but will stop being true after she gets sensitized to it. From then on, and for the rest of her life, she will find it harder to have an orgasm.

    I do not know this from personal experience.

    W, you are hilarious.

  7. Hehe.

    Actually, that makes sense, Wolfa.

    It’s all just a little too painful sounding for me. I mean, I understand the concept of pain being pleasurable and cathartic, etc., but there are some parts of the body–for me anyway–where that just doesn’t work and that happens to be one of them.

    But to each his/her own. . .

    I have no interest in testing out the theory (even if the consequences were less bad). And especially no interest in piercing anything that isn’t my earlobe. I just know the wrong people. And really, if you knew someone, wouldn’t you ask? I’ve asked all sorts of inappropriate personal questions of friends who had piercings or dated people with piercings.

    I have all kinds of questions about piercings. And tattoos.

  10. Try googling “body piercing” Michelle. You’ll find out more than you ever wanted to know :-)

    And after you do, can you explain to me why anyone would want to be corseted????????????????????????

    I don’t even want to think about those google results!

    Seriously, though, I cannot imagine why on earth a student would bring something like that in class. I can’t even imagine saying “clit” in class.

    corseted?
