Fifty years ago, no red-blooded American boy would admit to
DATY.  That was for weirdos and lesbian ladies.  Now, men beg for it; it's a major component of the GFE, like DFK.  I enjoy it, but then, I consider golden showers and BDSM really sick.  Go figure.

Are you saying that in 50 years that BDSM and golden showers may become as common place as DATY?  It's possible I suppose. But you should know that DATY is much more common outside the US. So 50 years ago European men would have accepted DATY like Americans do now.

I quit doing DATY on prostitutes... the risk is too great.

So do you think it is any safer doing the girl at the health club that goes to visit her GYN-OB just once a year. Do you know how many guys have been between her thighs.

No I don't necessarily think it's safer with civilians, particularly one night stands and STRs. But long term, monogamous things where you know the girl is clean, then I would do it. But I'm at a point in my life where I can't afford an LTR--can't make the financial, emotional, and time committment. So I like to see providers on occassion but I'm just plain afraid to do DATY or BBBJ... that's just me.

Well, you know the French are a funny race--they fight with their feet.  However, even the most liberated have prejudices: Gertrude Stein said that what lesbians do is peachy and clean, but what gay guys do is dirty and offensive.  I don't like Greek either, so here's to DATY, and a rose is a rose is a rose.
