This is — D’uh — the continuation of an earlier post, Urbane Skills: Signs You May Be Kinky (Part I)
And indeed,
You May Be Kinky If …
- When listening to a debate about the concept of a victimless crime in the arrest of a prostitute, you ask the rhetorical question, “Whom was she hurting?
… and how much extra did they have to pay?” - Nothing embarrasses you any more – which takes the fun out of a number of activities.
- When you heard teenaged girls debating whether John or Paul was the cute one, you assumed they meant RuPaul.
- Before the wedding, your fiancé wanted to register at Marshall Fields; you wanted to register at American Hide and Leather
- You automatically decline offers of a threesome unless at least one of those involved is a transgender or another species or both
- You knew your high school English reading assignment, Of Human Bondage, was too good to be true but you were miiffed about the misleading title anyway.
- You’ve always thought that the line, ” Baby, I’m the bottom you’re the top” from Cole Porter’s Anything Goes was just another couple getting things organized for a session.
- You and your kids argue over whose toys have priority for the last pack of batteries.
- Your favorite homophones are “whacks” and “wax,” both of which sound interesting.
- You spent $7.50 for a ticket and 20 minutes staring in disbelief at a theater screen only to learn that the movie, O, referenced “O” as in “Othello,” not “O” as in “The Story of O.”
- You were genuinely puzzled that “9 1/2 Weeks” did not win the Oscar for Best Picture.
- You become disproportionately excited about the arrival of the new ACE Hardware catalog
- You were fascinated to discover that, according to your Word of the Day vocabulary builder, the word “excruciating” has a form, “excruciate,” that can be used as a verb, providing a much needed alternative for “torment” and “torture.”
- You own His and Hers towels, His and Hers bowling shirts, and His and Hers stiletto pumps.
- Velcro and vinyl are featured in a surprisingly high poporation of your wardrobe.
- You’ve always considered “sticks & stones may break your bones” an acceptable risk.
- When told, “This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you,” you feel cheated.

Haaaaaaaaa.
RE: No. 6 — As a college freshman I started reading The Way of All Flesh only to suffer the same disappointment.
RE: No. 7 — I always assumed it was two gay guys sorting things out. I’ve heard “He’s a bottom” enough to think so.
RE: No. 10 — From day one, I haven’t been able to look at a copy of O magazine without smirking.
RE: No. 11 — Abso - freaking - lutely. I was sorry to hear that Kim Basinger thought Mickey Rourke had terrible cigarette breath, because every time I watch it that’s all I can think about anymore. Which makes her performance worthy of an Oscar as well.
