When we’re playing or having sex, Lily and I like to do something that’s unusual, even in the fetish community: We laugh. A lot.
When we’re playing or having sex, Lily and I like to do something that’s unusual, even in the fetish community:
We laugh. A lot.
Woody Allen once said, Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing.”
Wrong! I say laughing is the most fun you can have while fucking.
Why So SERIOUS?
Maybe I’m weird for a guy, but I don’t much like watching porn. You know why? No one looks like they’re having any fun, much less experiencing any pleasure. No; they grunt and groan and gasp and snarl and roll their eyes and bare their teeth, and it looks more like they’re passing kidney stones.

Lily and I were making love the other day. She was on top and at one point she leaned forward and started kissing me gently on the forehead over and over.
I started giggling. “What are you laughing at?” she smiled.
“I don’t know!” I giggled.
“Am I tickling you?” She giggled too and kept kissing my forehead.
“No! Well, a little!” I giggled even more.
She kept kissing my forehead, although she was laughing out loud by this time. “So what’s so funny?” she laughed.
“I don’t know!” I cried, and lost it. She did too. We cracked up until we both were hooting and gasping, and then we both….
Well. Have you ever had an orgasm while laughing uncontrollably? I highly recommend it.
Lighten up, Francis
I was introduced into the fetish community at the very capable hands of MsSaskia and MsVylette in a session at the RACK Room. MsSaskia called me to confirm a couple of hours ahead of time; she told me to get well-hydrated and drink lots and lots and lots and lots of water.
So I did. I pulled up in front of the RACK Room about 15 minutes early. I planned to wait until the scheduled time, but quickly realized something important:
Having drank lots and lots and lots and lots of water, I really, really, really, really needed to pee.
MsSaskia came to the door and put her hands on her hips in mock outrage. “It’s not 11 yet!” she said, wagging her finger at me.
“Well,” I said, dancing around with my knees together, “you TOLD me to drink lots of water. Can I use your bathroom?”
She stared at me for a second, then burst out laughing. I stared back and, nervous as I was, started laughing too. “Get in here, you dork!” she said.
It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
A while later, they were fastening me to their CBT chair with bondage tape. They got to the end of the roll and MsVylette set the empty tube on top my head, saying, “Here, hold this.”
Of course, it fell off almost immediately. MsSaskia rolled her eyes and said, “You suck at this!“1
We all three laughed. And I thought Hey — this is actually FUN!
Yer Bad Self: Get Over It
I suppose Lily and I are both as insecure about our bodies as anyone. But doggone it — sex isn’t just fun. It’s funny.
You know why? For the same reason farts are funny — along with burps, boogers, skidmarks and slipping on a banana peel. People are funny and our bodies are funny. They look funny and make funny noises and emit funny smells.
And when you make two of them naked and squish them together here and there in interesting ways, they do all those things twice as much.
We treat sex like a space shuttle mission, or an Olympic competition — the slightest irregularity is cause for huge alarm and panic. And I think that spoils all the fun.
Weird, funny and strange things are going to happen during sex. And unless you’re paying for sex, getting paid for sex or are acting in a porno — for Cthulhu’s sake get over yourself.
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It
Here’s a list of things that will happen to you while you’re playing, or indulging in your favorite fetish or just plain fucking (please let me know the ones I forgot, along with your coping methods). If you don’t learn to laugh about them your self-esteem will self-destruct in 10 seconds.
You/your partner can’t get/stay erect:
If you ever meet a guy who says this has never happened to him, he’s either lying or he’s a dildo.2
If it happens too often, see a doctor. Otherwise, shake it and yell, “Speak to me!” or “Get back to work or you’re fired!”
If you can’t laugh about it, you’ll get your brain all wrapped around it and make it worse. If your partner can’t laugh about it, he or she needs to grow up.
You/your partner miss whatever orifice you’re aiming at:
Say, “It’s not impossible — I used to bulls-eye womprats in my T‑16!“3
Something pops out of the orifice it was just in:
“…goes the weasel!”
Pussy farts:
Keep going and see if you can play “Jingle Bells.”
Traditional farts:
Look your partner right in the eye without cracking a smile and say, “How ’bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?“4
Other classics:
- Someone belches or sneezes
- The phone rings
- One of you gets a snot that’s whistling
- A cramp
- A body part falls asleep
- “Ow! You’re on my hair!”
- Falling off the bed
- Falling off the couch
- Falling off the table
- Falling off the hood of the car
- Falling off the stage
- Falling off the bar
- Falling off the altar
- Falling off the farm animal you borrowed
- Falling off the casket lid
No special reason:
See the forehead-kissing incident above. We all get the giggles for no reason at inappropriate times. This isn’t one of them. Laugh!
If all else fails, try tickling:
Lily and I tickle each other all the time. Even when I’m not tied up. Ticklefights are fun; fucking is fun. Fucking ticklefights are actually worth a trip to the emergency room.
