I figure just the first thought would "off" him, so my immediate next thought was towards what would happen with the gear he screwed up!In addition to engaging in some light body shaming and advice almost no sex columnist would find healthy or wise, the entire book is written exclusively for heterosexual couples, and seems to acknowledge only male/female couplings, assuming that anyone who needed to be able to master the title skill would be a straight man. Whether you’re a foodie or a fan of lesbian memoirs, or you just like good writing telling a story well, I would definitely recommend Licking the Spoon and I hope to read more from Candace Walsh! In her review on AfterEllen, Jill Guccini aptly describes what else is going on: “the complex ties of family, … the sometimes cruel world of childhood and the demons that haunt the people you love the most … all those things you’re supposed to do once you finally escape the bubble of home: the alcohol, the drugs, and the exhausting career building in New York City in your 20s, struggling to find a worthy partner who won’t repeat the faults in your heritage. If you spend your whole life eating pork chops and applesauce with sauerkraut, you have no idea how much you prefer pork served with a mole of cacao nibs, six kinds of chilies, cinnamon, anise, cloves, coriander, ground almonds, pumpkin seeds, and garlic … until you try it.
