When I was younger (middle and high school), my male friends never wanted me to eat certain food around them. I was the ONLY girl they didn't want eating this food around them. On that list was: Popsicles, strawberries, cake, bananas, orange slices, and more. In my innocence, I didn't know why. When I got older, my first boyfriend explained to me that I ate food like I was trying to give guys a hard-on and they couldn't take it. Apparently it was an issue for a lot of them. It also explains why some of my female friends used to look at me strangely when I ate orange slices (don't know how you eat those sexy, but I apparently did). I also apparently did other things that made them uncomfortable, like sitting too close or taking off too much clothing (I just really hate clothing). I didn't know for years I was even doing it.

I wonder what they'd say now if I told them that knowledge was apparently innate and I have an oral fixation like nothing else. My poor partner has to deal with it when I need my mouth filled (ironically, he is the one guy that doesn't get turned on watching me eat food).
