Living In Sin: Proactivate Your Sexlife

Dear Jen,
One afternoon I found myself waiting for your column to arrive in my inbox. Since that wasn't happening, and I like to be proactive, I went to your website to see what I could find. I was delighted to see that you host workshops and parties for bisexual and bicurious folks, but I was disappointed to discover that they are for "ladies only." I don't begrudge the bi girls their dick-free experimentation, but why don't you (or anyone else) host parties and workshops like this for bisexual and bicurious men, or for men and women together? Don't you think we bicurious guys could benefit from such events?

Dear Same,
I would like to take a moment here to talk about merkins. For those of you yet to be enlightened, a merkin is a pubic wig. The thing that’s always baffled me about the merkin, other than how you actually put one on, is that it has a name. Naming something implies that enough people use it to warrant needing something to call it, but I recently polled 20 friends (and I have some special friends) and not one of them claimed to have ever used, or known anyone who’s ever used, a merkin. Meanwhile, the thingy you slip under a table leg to keep it from wobbling remains nameless, as does my 20-pound cat, The Big Guy.

There are countless examples of haves and have nots in our unfair world, and it’s up to all of us to do what we can to close the gaps. To do my part, I’ll try calling the cat Buick and see if it sticks, and hereby suggest that the great table equalizer be called a “weenit” so please pass it on. As far as your dilemma goes, of course I think you and yours could benefit from parties and workshops like mine, as could foot fetishists, furries, bondage enthusiasts, and people who like to dress up like babies, but honey, mama can only do so much for so many people. If you can’t find what you need in your life, you have to get your fine proactive self out there and make it happen. Rally the bi-boys and get a list going, show me that there are enough of you who want me to step up to the plate and I will gladly get off my girl-focused ass. Or even better, get a space, fill it with people and ask me, or someone else, to host. Also, get on the internet – I know there are classes and events for the bisexual community. Just because I’m not doing them at the moment doesn’t meant they’re not out there. My girl parties came about because I got flooded with emails from women asking where to meet other women so you are on the right track.

On that note, I’m having another party for the ladies this very weekend, September 8th, in Venice, CA. Details on my website www.jensincero.com/events.html. I always appreciate suggestions from my mighty fine readers so please keep it up and mebbe I have a party for you next, yes?

Mebbe you have a party for me next, yes. I've been seeing all these parties you're having and wondering how come none of them are for me. I think that what you should be doing is having a party for me. How come I read your column like all the time and not one party for me.

Dear Jen

The thingy you slip under a table leg to keep it from wobbling??? It's called a shim!

First mentioned in 1736 it's a term for a sort of plough that went between rows plants without turning the soil over. By 1896 it also meant a spacer used to adjust the height of railroad rails! By the '60s it was a thin piece of plastic or metal that was used to jimmy a door open?

I suspect bi-curious parties are a recruitment tool for lesbians.
However, a bi-curious male shouldnt fret, just find out Senator Craig`s travel itinerary.
Also, at our house we have a name for those things that keep tables from wobbling. We call it cardboard. A SHIM would probably be welcome at the bi-curious party. But I am not sure which party.
