The Post in Which I Send You Elsewhere
A few weeks ago, my favorite blog-crush, NukeDad, wrote a post about his father’s death on, you guessed it, Father’s Day. Which then prompted me to blather on about something or the other. And that should have ended it, but it didn’t. You see, I just keep thinking about that post, and how beautiful and dang-gum touching it was, and even though I knew NukeDad was all kinds of awesome and funny, I was almost down-right shocked at how perfectly he pulled off heart-wrenching. And so I, naturally, nominated him for Petroville and Suburban Turmoil’s June Perfect Post. He’s actually the first person I’ve nominated, and I couldn’t be more happy about that.
A few more weeks ago, Jeremy at Discovering Dad.net asked me to come up with a question to ask a bunch of guys I don’t really know. But it had to be a sincere, marriage-based question. I thought and thought and thought and in the end, there was only one thing I wanted an answer to. I am totally embarrassed to say click here, but I’m saying it. Click here. And please don’t think less of me. It was an honest question.
It appears that Kelley at MagnetoBoldToo! (it’s a font, kids) is the winner of the contest that Hubs has asked me to never mention again. So I won’t, but she won, and now I get her ADDRESS. I love contests, man,

Ha HA Ha!
I cannot even wait for the link to pull up at work but I can bet I know the answer to this one!
Bravo for asking the tough questions. It was interesting to see how differently they all responded. No easy answers, but you already knew that.
Latte Mommy’s last blog post..Mmm…Chocolate…
The comments are heating up about your question today at Discovering Dad! I think it is definitely a topic of interest to many, many people! Thanks ML!

Oh jeez….I peeked at your question. Here we go.

You rule for asking!
I’ll say that I agree with the common male response that it’s fine and no big deal as long as it’s not causing marital neglect.
That said, Homer doesn’t indulge. I’ve asked him why and he says it just doesn’t appeal to him. If he can’t have it IRL, it’s not appealing. He also is bothered by how fake it all is.
No, I have it on very good authority that Homer is not gay. He just doesn’t want porn. Guys who say they need it have a problem that is not healthy - especially when they are spending money on it (it’s easy enough to get free).
My ex did it obsessively and I didn’t appreciate it. Homer doesn’t do it and I have to say, it’s really nice.
Terrific question! I can’t wait to read the answers!

“If Tom and Sally like to dress-up like hobbits and hit each other with waffle ball bats to excite each other, well…more power to them!”
Best statement ever. I’m SOOOOO trying that ;)
I thought it was a great question and I was really surprised by some of the responses. Good job for asking the tough questions!
Loralee’s last blog post..Kind of like Post Secret except you won’t have to make a card or spend money on a stamp. (And obviously, it’s not NEARLY as cool and awesome)
Thank You again for my nomination and subsequent award. You are truly my Idol, Billy. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to repay you for your support of me; but I will try. Oh, great question, by the way. I’m leaning towards the Wiffle Ball bats myself.

Saw this article today and thought it pertained:

Also, I don’t mean to read into things but while a hammer (symbolism) is in one hand, a bill is in the other. Could this not be so much a porn issue as it is a money issue (or a “how we are spending our money” issue)?
I got some light reading ahead of me. Can’t wait to see the answers. Excellent question Mr. Lady.

Must go and thank that idiot at school, oh and the police. And my mother, and the Almighty Smiter and that guy that just walked by my house walking his dog…. oh, you weren’t looking for an acceptance speech were you…
Off to read about your burning question. And thankyou my lovely <3
