Romancing The Bone
July, 1986
Rodney Dangerfield has a joke that goes something like this: The first time I had sex, I was terrified. It was late at night. It was dark. I was alone.Oh, yeah, Rodney, I know what you mean. The same thing happened to me. And it seems to keep happening. As a matter of fact, I hope it never stops, because it isn't terrifying anymore.Maybe one day, Roget's Thesaurus will have a list of the synonyms we men have given masturbation: beating off, pounding the pud, milking the lizard, phoning the czar....
