Whats with the oral sex poses?

[Betty]

So - I notice high school girls posing with their pointer and middle finger spread in a V below their chin with their tongue sticking out - for photos.

Back in the day - this had a very specific meaning. I'm wondering, has this gesture lost it's meaning, do these girls not know what it means, or do they know exactly what it means and are doing it anyway? Or was this a regional thing and no one knows about it but the high school I went to? (which I just can't imagine is the case.)

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm sure some are fully aware, some have some vague idea that it's sexual and risque, some have no clue.

[Betty]

Speculation on facebook, when I asked there, was that it's meaning may have changed. (but that was without a teenager responding, so far.)

I'm not sure of how to look up the meaning of a gesture though. A quick peek at urban dictionary didn't show me what I was looking for.

[Alex]

They know exactly what it means.

[Moonliner]

I thought it specifically implied oral performed on a woman, but I think that about most things.

[katiesue]

Let me just do an unscientific survey of one teenager. Brb.

[katiesue]

Well she's turning red, but yes she does know the meaning although she wouldn't actually say it but it was confirmed. And now she claims that was very "awkward" and has left the room.

[BarTopDancer]

OMG. I can't believe you just did that.

[Morrigoon]

ROFL

[katiesue]

she's still mumbling around the house saying "that was awkward". Hehe - sometimes it's good to be a parent.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Awesome.

Doesn't sound like a very attractive pose for pictures.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I blame Kingpin

she's still mumbling around the house saying "that was awkward". Hehe - sometimes it's good to be a parent.One thing about not being a parent is missing out on all the fun one can have with teenagers.

But all of the other stuff that comes with it, I am gladly doing without.

I'll just be happy with antagonizing other peoples' kids.

That's the bestest part ever!

[Strangler Lewis]

Always nice to learn something new.

[€uroMeinke]

Cunnilingus is such an awkward word, a gesture so much easier

And our kids will be happy as well, as they luvs you. Especially since you, as someone who probably has posted more 'NSFW's than anyone in the blogosphere, are a total (tyvm!) prude when it comes to kids and anything with inappropriate content. I've always loved and appreciated that particular dichotomy about you, KB. ;)

While the "V" sign with the fingers has meant a number of things through the years, the most popular has been the "V" for Victory campaign in England durring WWII.

And when you lick it, it means "Victory tastes good".

That sounds good. Yeah, I'm going with that.

[lashbear]

I thought it was sign language for "Yodelling down a canyon"


Oh, wait....

[LashStoat]

Hi All,

I would have thought this gesture is obvious:

It's the Fourth Monkey "Lick no evil".

Well you asked...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX

[Betty]

Funny - my kids and their friends that I have on my list on FB did not respond to the question. lol.

If it's such an embarrassing thing - why do it? I would like to start calling them out on it on their photo comments but that probably wouldn't be appropriate. I don't want to be accused of child porn or something.

[Alex]

If it's such an embarrassing thing

That which is embarrassing among friends is not a 1 to 1 overlap with that which is embarrassing when you're mom wants to talk about it.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Cunnilingus is such an awkward word, a gesture so much easier"Everyone get in the shot, closer, ok, one-two-three, say 'cunnilingus'!"

If it's such an embarrassing thing - why do it? Heheh, I can sense a million pairs of eyes rolling simultaneously.

[€uroMeinke]

Now you've got me wondering what it means in the cultural context. There's the literal "I enjoy performing/receiving cunnilingus" but I wonder if it's sonethin more like flipping someone off where instead of saying "**** you" you're saying "I lick your pussy" or maybe it's a more positive affirmation instead of a "pat on the back" it's a "tongue in your cooch". I think more research may be required to get the full meaning of the gesture.

[Morrigoon]

I think it means "Look at me!... I'm so edgy, I make sexual gestures I don't mean, but wouldn't you like to THINK I do... oh, and look at me!"

[Ghoulish Delight]

Yeah, I think 'goon nailed it.

[Alex]

Do some searches, you'll find more conversation about it than you'd think.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I'd rather not.

[Chernabog]

Morrigoon performed teenage oral on a frozen banana at Disneyland a few times, and boy did it get sticky!

......

sorry I just like sharing random thoughts.


About oral.

[lashbear]

Bjork sings orally.

[RStar]

If someone says they can sing out of thier anus, stand back when they start to clear their throat......

Just sayin........

:D

That really needs to be under some NSFW spoiler tags.

[RStar]

Crest Whitening Strips may be a good idea as well.
