curiosity ain't killed this cat yet

i love the term 'bi-curious'. one simple word that sums up the often complicated reality of straight people who like to dabble in nookie of the homosexual variety. its the "its not my favourite dish on the menu, but i still order it from time to time" lifestyle defense.

in the past i myself have had close encounters of the bi-curious kind. i think my curiosity has since been sated, but i must confess that i completely understand why straight boys like girls so much. they're fleshy, they moisturise and they cut their toenails (how totally not insalubrious of them). oh, and bonus points for squishy nipples.

but i don't think that the term has been adequately appropriated into the contemporary vernacular. not at all. in fact, i think that 'curious' should be affixed to any noun, verb or even adjective to imply sporadic engagement with any person, object, activity, feeling, animal, mineral or vegetable.

here are some examples based on my own raging curiosities:

heel-curious

i am, in essence, a dedicated boots wearer. but every now and then i decide to strap on some stilettos and walk like a one-legged retarded child for the night.

drug-curious

these days i say no to drugs more often than not. i'm moody and depressed enough when i'm sober. but then sometimes i find myself in a spa with four hot, naked people and am left with no choice but to grin and snort it.

pork-curious

having spent 5 years as a jewish vegetarian, i can still count on one hand the number of times i have consumed the other white meat. and boy were they tasty little piggies.

smile-curious

the next random stranger who says to me "smile sweetheart, it can't be that bad" is going to find out just how bad it really can be. in his groinal region.

"scott"-curious

"scott" thought he was my boyfriend. i was just "scott"-curious. it ended badly. sorry "scott".

see how fun and easy this is? why don't you give it a go? what are YOU curious about, huh?

Nads, if you really want to get into my pants there are more subtle ways of going about it. Jesus.

This is where I would expect Bevis to leap in with a comment.

I am simply dignified and curious.

i'm actually kinda boy-curious, but it's one that's staying firmly in the realms of fantasy til i find a boy who i can drunkenly play with and it wont be scary or committment-y or meaningless.

Its 'in development'....

What are the odds of that, eh? Other sides of the world and two dudes with the same dodgy nickname!

Splendid
