Okay, let’s struuuuuuugle

Thingamajig kicked off a lively discussion about the ethics and optics of using someone else’s toothbrush… a discussion that reminded me of a question that appeared in Savage Love a long time ago… so long ago, in fact, that you won’t find it in the archives. (The column got its start in 1991; the online archives only go back to 1999.) Anyway, this guy wrote in because he was doing something wrong but didn’t know how to stop: he would go to parties (house parties, dinner parties, after parties), excuse himself to use the bathroom, jerk off into the sink, and then dip the bristles of his hosts’ toothbrushes in his cum before washing the rest down the sink.

Thirty years later… and I’m still sleeping with my toothbrush under my pillow. (Also, I don’t think that LW wanted to stop.)
