Well Kittens, its January, where does the time go? Seems like just yesterday I was just settling into Daisy Mae Laboratories answering questions from you adoring readersIt was yesterday so if you have a question, send it by e-mail to Dear.Daisy@sbcglobal.net or by USPS to Dear Daisy c/o BOI Magazine 3711 N. Ashland 2nd Floor Chicago, IL 60613. Let's see what the New Year brings us in the form of twisted questions.

 

Dear Daisy,
What causes piss shivers?

Dear Curious,
This is a question that even I have wondered about, the euphoric "piss shiver". Well we here at Daisy Mae Laboratories did what any research team would do and typed "piss" into a ton of search engines and all I get are web sites of people pissing on each other. Now I'm not one to harsh on someone's groove but what's up with that? I mean put some plastic down at least! Jeez, my mom would blow an artery if I pissed all over the couch and boyfriend. (She'd probably be madder about the couch.) So I search on "piss shivers" and I find the sites that point to some punk band. I never heard them but they have a well executed logo so I figure they're cool. Maybe I'll see if Limewire can deliver the goods on them later.

Then I try "urination shiver" and come up with this web site about bathroom habits and it even has a survey on the matter. It mentions piss shivers but doesn't even pretend to know what causes them. Turns out both men and women experience piss shivers. And of the two thousand some respondents around one-third have ever experienced these shivers. Some describe it feeling like a mini-orgasm. For me it's more like a cold, electrical storm shooting out my spine. I have given piss shivers a lot of thought myself and apparently few others have. Maybe there's some research grant money in this.

I also read that supposedly George Carlin did a bit about piss shivers. She said the piss shiver is a holdover from the caveman days when men hadn't figured out how to shake it yet. I hope this has helped, I know I feel better. Shewww!

Dear Daisy,
What is it with guys and anal sex? I am a 19 year old female and it seems every guy I go with these days wants to fuck me up the ass. Why do guys like it so much, because it's so tight? And no, I haven't done it yet.

Dear Belmont,
I can only supply speculation and conjecture but that's never stopped me before. It seems that sexually, at least, Americans pursue taboos. I suspect it has something to do with our puritanical religious heritage. Unlike other cultures which freely embrace oral and/or anal sex Americans have been raised to be ignorant of, if not opposed to, such activity. Until relatively recently, that is.

Considering that oral sex was really only introduced into American sexual culture after those naughty Europeans initiated many wide-eyed American soldiers in World War 2, the very public retelling of Bill and Monica's oral adventures in the Oval Office established it as common practice. Just as JFK showed Americans that proper men didn't need to wear fedoras, Clinton showed Americans that oral sex is an acceptable practice. (Remember, it wasn't the oral sex which got Clinton in trouble but his lying about it.) With oral sex removed from the list of taboos, what's the next taboo around the corner (perhaps literally)? Your back door. And judging from what you're telling me, the gents are a knock, knock, knockin' on your back door.

Perhaps it's the easies way of avoiding fatherhood.

But I'm no sexual anthropologist. I just play one on TV.
