To begin, I would like to make a controversial statement:
Clip and save this column, for I will never discuss gerbils again. QWe were having a little office debate about “gerbiling.” How does it work? Do all gay men do this? Does Richard Gere? Does the animal get shoved up the anus with a toilet paper roll only to suffocate seconds later? Is it the scratching or the act of killing an animal that gets people off? Why? Can’t this cause serious damage? What gives?ĪEvery day, my mail contains at least three questions about “gerbiling.” In the eight years I’ve been writing this column, I have never addressed the gerbil issue, but now, this week and this week only, I am breaking my silence. Some newer readers might’ve missed this column when it originally appeared-some of you who were still in grade school, diapers, or amniotic sacs back in 1998-so I’m rerunning it now because I still get questions about “gerbiling” on a daily basis. To tide all of your hot and/or kinky and/or sore asses over, here’s a column I wrote 15 years ago. Sommelier Series (paid sponsored content)ĭEAR READERS: I’m off this week.
