Subject: QOTD for Saturday, April 17, 2010

The following quote is taken from The Custom of the Army by Diana Gabaldon, Copyright (c) 2010 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved

"What do I taste like?" he'd asked, out of curiosity.

Manoke, absorbed in his business, had said something that might have been, "Cock," but might equally have been some expression of mild disgust, so Grey thought better of pursuing this line of inquiry. Besides, if he did taste of beef and biscuit or Yorkshire pudding, would the Indian recognize that? For that matter, did he really want to know, if he did? He did not, he decided, and they enjoyed the rest of the evening without benefit of conversation."

This isn't the first time LJ's has wondered what he tastes like - he described himself as "faintly salt bland, as egg white". Sometimes John over-thinks things, just enjoy the moment, man! (NT) -- jayn, 18:22:57 04/16/10 Fri
- it's an odd insecurity (NT) -- kgp, 03:58:34 04/17/10 Sat
  - I don't know if it's an insecurity or just an odd curiosity. He seems to enjoy tasting his partners (or trying to describe how they taste). I think he just wonders if they think about it the same way he does. (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 06:03:23 04/17/10 Sat
DG describes tastes and smells a lot in her writing. I think that's part of why I find her scenes more realistic and absorbing that those of other writers. All my senses are engaged to make me really feel like I'm there. (NT) -- Stargove, 07:15:29 04/17/10 Sat
- I know what you mean. I'm not sure I want to be there tasting Manoke, lol. I must confess, however, that LJ's love scenes don't bother me as much as they should (I wonder what that says about me?) (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 11:08:07 04/17/10 Sat
  - What leads you to think they "should" bother you? (NT) -- sharon fisher, 17:33:01 04/17/10 Sat
    - Short answer is my religious beliefs. But since I've known quite a few homosexuals, my personal beliefs on the subject are complicated. Also, since I am not a homosexual man, I really didn't expect to enjoy the sex scenes. But because I love LJ so much I am happy for him when he can connect with someone. Also, Diana's writing is so sensual that I hardly notice it's two men. (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 18:02:58 04/17/10 Sat
Maybe I'm dumb OR naive OR both - but just what is Manoke "tasting" here? (NT) -- Deena, 08:47:25 04/18/10 Sun
- umm.. I think you've got two choices here - kissing or oral sex... (NT) -- Stargove, 12:00:01 04/18/10 Sun
  - Considering what LJ thinks Manoke's answer sounds like, I would guess it is the latter. (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 12:57:58 04/18/10 Sun
    - Well, that's what I thought - oral sex. But who asks someone that?? (NT) -- Deena, 14:18:24 04/18/10 Sun
      - Apparently, LJ does. didn't he ask Percy the same thing? Or was he just thinking about it? I think he enjoys deciphering the tastes of his partners and is curious about his own flavor. (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 07:10:14 04/19/10 Mon
        I know I've read places where it syas to m ake your ejaculate taste better to drink pineapple juice. And I think "OMG". Who thinks about THAT?? (NT) -- Deena, 08:38:11 04/19/10 Mon
        ROFL, I've never heard that before. (NT) -- Lady Oliver, 05:14:47 04/20/10 Tue
