ficsex:jabberwockypie:dancinbutterfly:nianeyna:soupwife: nianeyna: rhea314: gingerhaze: memewhore: pricklylegs: mudwerks: klappersacks: (via File Photo) WTF are those obelisks on the right?… Tasty obelisk fries.. “It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product. “It’s digestible” “It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s: The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century. from this essay: http://www.columbia.edu/~sf2220/TT2007/web-content/Pages/drew2.html The more you know! :D I have learned a new thing today. Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works. but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic. I’m reminded of how a few years back, an American living in Greece posted that they were trying to find shortening for pie crusts for Thanksgiving, and shortening’s not really a Thing there.They used an app to help search local stores, and the ONLY place that had Crisco was a sex shop, which marketed it as “butter for fisting”. welp, if you’re writing gay sex in the 1970s and 1980s, this is probably pertinent information for you to have. -- source link
