Ow, ow, ow, fucking ow. I don't want to eat sushi off someone I'm not in love with, hermetically sealed or not, nor even eat it from a plate in the company of those who would. Gross gross gross gross gross. I'm working on many socio-sensual concepts, but this is icky in more dimensions than I can get into right now. Am I allowed to scream?!

oddly, the chance is, the girl is more sanitary that the plate....I mean, the plastic wrap will only get used once, and thrown out, instead of washed (hopefully well) for the next person....

I'm sure anyone who knows me and most of my house will impugn my sanitation to the max. I'm used to germs, until the flu catches me, or a sinus infection invades, or my stomach goes weird. I believe in hand sanitizers and frequent washing when one has been in contact with many public surfaces.

I just find the concept of eating from a supine body a dish of an idea disgusting and disturbing. Absurd. I mean; who is this person I'm eating off from? Why is she doing this? Why can't I get a guy? I'm only semi-het. Or could I? They're a person. Haven't these folks read Dr. Suess?!

A supine body in any context other than romance is at least a good facial, maybe rib and hara, and frontal thigh and tibial massage. Only. I guess my professional instincts are ingrained. context matters, but is tough to reconsider.

I like sushi quite well, but my husband doesn't, is rather conservative in our practices, and I don't think it'd go over. And my sweetheart is a vegetarian who wouldn't tolerate it. And I try to only humiliate people who do things to deserve it by my loose but choosy standards.

I just can't quite imagine myself eating sushi from the torso of a stranger; even sanitized. Maybe another sweetheart sometime will get into such nibblings, but no, it's a personal, intimate, careful thing. I find the concept of it as public, common occurrence kinda abhorrent.

A small factual point: there's quite a bit of vegetarian sushi--egg, avocado, pickle (nice crunchy Japanese pickles, not limp cucumber pickles), cucumber (non-pickled), tofu....

yeah; I can't eat seafood (I like it, it just doesn't like *me*), but I love sushi and eat it when I can.

(and it's cheaper to eat veggie! I can go out with friends for sushi and be literally stuffed, for a third what their seafood costs! ;-) )
