Dear Sasha: Have you seen www.beautifulagony.com? Gorgeous! —Joe

Dear Joe,
I know you sent me this orgasm-face Web site with the best intentions and I appreciate your enthusiasm and desire to support alternative visions of sexuality, but no amount of progressive thinking will convince me that humans look gorgeous when they’re coming—particularly in photo or video representations where they are completely divorced from their bodies.

Moreover, people who publish these images with pompous musings like, “This may be the most erotic thing you have ever seen, yet the only nudity it contains is from the neck up. That's where people are truly naked,” should be forced to watch their parents copulate. What it does prove, though, is that orgasm is a great equalizer and that, in the end, we all look the same when we’re overwhelmed by pleasure: utterly confounded. And I suppose that is kind of gorgeous.

Dear Sasha: I am wondering why you think it is okay for you to use such words as fags and dykes to describe homosexuals? Those words are VERY OFFENSIVE! I guess you suffer from some sort of incurable ignorant behaviour tendencies, or you are trying to shock people with your poor taste to get attention. Very cheap and pitiful! —Kerry

Dear Kerry,
I could tell you that, being a loudmouthed, queer myself I’ve earned the right to use these words whenever and however the hell I want but it’s more appropriate to say that, as a word lover, I simply adore them. Despite the fact that these are common colloquialisms used by many queers to describe themselves, the words fag and dyke are still so evocative. They carry with them the threat of sexual lawlessness, of prurience and pulp fiction novels and a real hard-earned history. These are words that the gay community fought to make their own, to empower and sexualize, and I use them myself with everything from familiarity to endearment to confrontation. I can’t believe you wouldn’t understand the difference between applying them with ill intent and applying them with respect and privilege. Seriously, get bent.

Dear Sasha: I have a very big penis but very small testicles. In comparison to my cock, my balls are the size of walnuts. I would like to enlarge the size of my balls, perhaps with some sort of silicone implants, similar to what women use to enlarge their breasts. Could it be done? What does your expert Dr. Stubbs have to say with regard to this? I like to show off my bulge while in my swimwear and also in my jeans. My cock shrinks a lot when not hard, so it doesn’t show very much while I’m wearing clothes. Hopefully if I get some kind of implant, it will improve the size of my bulge. Any ideas how to improve my bulge image? —Very Big Cock But Small Balls

Dear Very,
Dr. Stubbs has been doing testicle implants for over 20 years. The most current ones are silastic—a soft medical grade silicone. Check out the example on his website (www.psurg.com) of a fellow that, as the doctor puts it, “had no Speedo filler when he exited cold water.” They are indeed delicious looking, but how do they feel? My soonto- be longsuffering boyfriend and I paid a visit to Dr. Stubbs, where I took a silastic nut in one hand and my boyfriend’s real ones in the other and did a squeeze test.

For all the fun I’ve made over the years of men who cannot tell the difference between real and fake breasts, I find myself in a bit of a pickle. Honestly, I could have dated someone with these and never been the wiser, though Dr. Stubbs does say that testicles vary greatly in texture and, if a man already has large ones, they’ll end up feeling a little like an alley bag. I am curious to know how they feel for the recipient, though. Anyone out there have silastic implants and want to share their experience? Anonymity guaranteed.
