Spunk bubble

Only in England. I am always fascinated by the television shows here in the UK. They're often ground breaking shows, series and documentaries covering a variety of subjects. The most recent one I saw, last night, was A Girl’s Guide to 21st Century Sex. When I first flipped to the channel I was greeted by an interesting site: a penis entering a vagina, but from the prospective of the vagina. They actually had a camera inside the woman’s vagina to catch all the action. Then, the narrator broke it down, step by step, and explained how certain movements and sensations are what gear up our bodies to procreate. It was a fascinating, candid look you’d never get in the US. And there was nothing pornographic about it.

So what about this spunk bubble? After the show about sex, a weekly sitcom came on called Swinging. It reminded me a bit of the show The Office in the US. A new member of the staff at “Fuchs and Swallows” was going through orientation and was being taken around and introduced to his new colleagues. However, when the female guide would introdude him to someone, like a women with large breasts, she’d say, “This is Molly. But you would greet her with something like, ‘Nice rack, yeah.’” Every person she intorduced him to came with an alternate greeting that was simply hillarious, but ever so inappropriate. At one point they were walking through the office and the female guide said, “That’s the water cooler, it looks like a penis, this is George, he looks like a penis, and that’s the book case, which looks like a penis.” Of course, none of them look like a penis.

They eventually get to a flip chart with a penis drawn on it. To which the guide says, “If you get to a flip chart with a penis already drawn on it, join the fun and add some pubes and maybe a spunk bubble.” I just about pissed my pants laughing. It was so stupid, but hysterical.

One of my first “experiences” with television in the UK occurred years ago on a layover here. There was a show about male vanity and how men are catching up with women. The show followed three men, two of them straight and one of them gay. The show went on to showcase how gay men long ago caught up with women, but straight men are starting to pay more attention to their bodies, in particular their skin and image. One chap, who was straight, went to a salon to get “sugared.” It’s like wax, but instead of wax they use sugar. So what did he have sugared? He opted for the “back, sack and crack” special. Yeah, use your imagination. Since we’re in the UK here, they didn’t just tell us about the procedure, they actually showed it... back, sack, crack and all. It was utterly painful to watch, but interesting at the same time. The next day that show was all the buzz on the crew bus back to the airport. It seems as though most on the crew watched the show. We all got a good chuckle out of it. Only in the UK.
