so how do you answer?

Having started reading Savage Love, it's now impossible for me to stop, which is how I have learned about many new and interesting things involving honey, household appliances, a high pain threshhold, and how all of those things can go together.

It's fascinating and interestingly informative. And I'll be honest--it answers questions I never thought to ask, mostly due to the fact I never knew they existed. I read each one in a kind of curiosity, wondering what the answer will be this time. (And weirdly, I rarely disagree with him flat out.)

However, there is always a waterloo.

Clueless

When we don't respond to a question, the reader who sent it thinks, "He/she doesn't care," or "He/she is too busy," or "He/she thought my question wasn't interesting." When the reality may be that he/she has no fucking clue.

I almost think it's someone's duty out there to answer this one:



Question:
What would we use to cool the burn should the application of Tabasco sauce to her anus or clit prove to be too much for her to endure?

...yeah. I was--God help me--thinking that milk might do it? I know bread does it for jalapenos, but I just can't see asking your lover to stay still while you run for the Rainbow bread, you know? Tabasco is technically an acid (yes?) so a heavy base might do it? Maybe a good idea is to get the test tubes out and start testing for neutralizing agents?



This concludes Jenn Needs to Get Out More, because I had no idea that tabasco sauce was the new hot thing. Nor, really, did I want to.

ETA: And the suggestions are in!

*also, an icepack. I'd agree and add vicodin
**Butter shouldn´t be used when it comes to the anus. If it goes into the intestinal track you will get diarrhea which is also the reason why it shouldn´t be used as lube in anal play. -- redblue

I am now picturing Alton Brown in fabulous, gay sequins. ...that's kind of hot, actually.

*hides now*

Er, I think I've seen Alton in that outfit. On his show. Man has no shame whatsoever. None.

And yes, kinda hot. ::plays with Alton's dandelion!fluff hair::

I'd been gonna say that I thought I might've been pulling it from an actual episode, but couldn't make it funny enough. Ah well.

Alton-sensei is a little funny looking but still brings the sexy (especially the stubble he was sporting for awhile there on Iron Chef). Nothing hotter than competence. Or, you know, a man who can cook. (Didn't he pick up cooking as a way to pick up girls?) :D
