ELIZABETH ROSE

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.” – Douglas Adams

Darling Readers,

TMI or too much information – is a phrase I rarely utter. I am a “rubber necker” of the highest order. I enjoy watching people as not just a pastime, but as a vocation. So, when I am given the opportunity to draw back the curtain and peep into the boudoir I never resist.

"tell me more"You can tell me about his failings, your successes. You can expand on your exes’ taste, shape, technique or lack of it. I want to know, I need to know. I will listen avidly to you and draw out details you never meant to share. I don’t just accept that you are willing to give; I suck it from you like sweet nectar from an exotic fruit until you have no privacy left in your relationship.

So please – feel free to share! Elizabeth is here to listen…

“Really? – bends to the left you say? That is unusual, but do you enjoy it?”….

“Smells like paint thinner? How odd – is she an artist?”…

Of course, it does cut both ways. I wouldn’t say I have been holding back on you my dear readers. Knob cheese, genital fur, my brush with infamy after a homemade sex tape. I am happy to tell you all about it… but first, what was that you were saying about your fetish for being trampled on by high heels?

There are times when sharing definitely isn’t caring; when sharing is neither appropriate nor necessary. And sharing TMI about your sexual exploits is the type of sharing that falls into the aforementioned category.

No don’t get me wrong. I’m always game for listening to the highlights my friends offer up when they’re excited about a shiny, new bed mate or the love of the life after he/she put it on them real good.  But what I’m not into is hearing the GRAPHIC details about such exploits – especially when the person sharing with me is someone I hardly know.  You heard it here first folks.  Skye Blue never EVER wants to have so information about what went down in your bedroom that she feels like she was right there with you as it happened…

A few years back a co-worker of mine, who I’ll call Ms. TMI, invited me out to lunch with her. For the record we’d both been hired by the company we were at the month before and were just getting to know each other. So you can imagine my surprise when as I took the first sip of my soup, Ms. TMI launched into a tale about the action she’d had the night before.  At first I was as intrigued as I was shocked by her description of the pounding she got from her man.  But then, as she started in on the positions he had contorted her body into, the dirty things he’d whispered in her ear and how raw her vag felt "tmi overdose"when he was done I started to feel queasy. Readers, Ms. TMI stopped just short of telling me the colour, shape, smell and texture of her man’s dude. I started to feel like I had fucked him myself.

My good people, this type of sharing is not cool – at least not to me.  Keep the rawness of your vag and the taste of your man or woman’s gentalia to yourself.  PLEASE.

“Sam, I’ve never met anyone like you. I feel so comfortable with you. Talking with you is so easy. I feel like I can tell you anything”

Let’s be clear about this—you can’t. Ladies, I get it. I seem all open and shit. That’s actually not right. I don’t seem open. I am open. No topic is taboo. You’re a felcher. Cool. Whatever floats your boat. Feel the sudden urge to sleep with your best friend’s dad. Alrighty then. Have a used condom fetish? Want to have some of mine? That’s out of the question, but I’m not gonna judge you.

All I ask is that you consider the impact of your statements. I once had a very casual relationship with a very cute, and intelligent young lady who decided that our casual but vigorous sexual encounters were not enough. She wanted to become my wife. Problem was that I knew too much about her. Not in the “knowing your innermost thoughts and dreams” kind of way, but in the “I used to fuck the Toronto Raptors starting line up and I’d fuck your best friend in a heartbeat” kind of way. How did I know all of this? She told me.

Here’s a small sampling of things that I’ve been told by other women who’ve wanted to date me:

"wtf"“Yeah, I was short of cash and desperately wanted some weed, so I gave head to my dealer and now we’re all square.”

“Thank God you’re nothing like my ex. He had such a small dick. Sucking him off was such a chore. I felt so bad for him that I would just let him cum on my face”

“I’m not a dyke or anything but I love eating pussy so much more than sucking dick”

“Yeah I dated (insert name of famous rapper). I didn’t really like him. But he bought me a lot of stuff. His dick was pretty big too.”

Just in case you were wondering, I did not date any of these women.

I’m with Skye on this one. Sometimes people go way too far with the TMIs. Nobody needs to know how the room smelt after you did the deed.

When it comes to sex for me there’s no such things as TMI. However. I do not want to hear about your bowel movements, your menstrual flow, or that you are now infertile because of that abortion you had that time when you got drunk and f*cked some stranger you met on the street.

@ max – really? BMs, menses and infertility due to abortions. Why don’t people have brakes on their mouth these days? SMH

I guess I can’t really claim that all TMI is verboten for me – I write a blog wherein at times I expose some deeply personal shit. And honestly, if you write it and put it out there, chances are I’ll read it. But – there are a few people who I just do NOT want to know certain things about them. Like that time I found my dad’s Viagra. That was not a good day.

@ Aunt Juicebox – did you borrow some?

@ Max – wise advice, I once talked myself out of a guarrenteed shag by waxing lyrical about the wonders of the “moon-cup” I had used for the first time during my last period. Strangely he found that offputting… Lesson learnt! I know use it as a topic to repell unwanted attention.

Juicebox reminded me of my ultimate TMI story that I just have to share with you guys. It’s kinda long but bear with me.

About 15 years ago my father had surgery to remove a benign brain tumour. Because he had had seizures both before and after surgery he wasn’t allowed to drive for like a year afterward so I became his chauffeur. We spent countless hours in awkward silence or even more awkward conversation (he once asked me where his prostate is) during this time.

Toward the end of the year he had a follow-up appointment with his doctor. I took him and while we were waiting for the doctor to come in the room I was idly reading through his chart. First line: “patient complained of suffering a seizure after making love to his wife.”

TMI! TMI!

…And the prize for hilarious comment of the day goes to:

We have a draw! The judges couldn’t decide which was the most egregious example of TMI, so the prize is being split between finding daddy’s little blue pills and finding out daddy and mommy’s play time made daddy sick….

what a competition. We at MetAnotherFrog look forward to the next round of TMI’s…..

LMAO @ this post and all the commentary it invoked!

I’m just like Elizabeth Rose, there isn’t such a thing to me as TMI…I want, no.. NEED to know everything about everything. I love hearing about and knowing each and every little sordid detail about any little thing you’re willing to share, and I relish in the fact that I know all that I know about so many people. It’s like, I know I’m now your kryptonite…better be nice to me, or I have the stuff to bring you to your knees and defeat your public image!! MUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!! (OK, seriously, I would NEVER do that no matter how awful somebody is, even if the friendship breaks up, unless it’s because you ate my babies, I take all secrets to the grave).

Buuutt….that being said, I’m with Sam as well. Just because you can tell me anything, and in fact I CRAVE knowing ALL your business…in detail, don’t think I won’t look at you slightly differently based on some of the shit you tell me. Like, really, you tell me your boyfriend likes when you dress up like a pre-pubescent child and then get into a tub of ice for an hour so it feels like he’s banging a 12 year old corpse (true story here folks *shudders*)…. yeah, that shit ain’t cool, and I EVER need a babysitter, you and your man will NEVER be it…just saying. Kinda don’t even like shaking his hand anymore….And I seriously wonder about her now. I mean, we’re still friends, but…..

I guess the moral of the story is, just because you have nosey-assed people out there who will be the best listeners ever and will very placidly nod and accept your story and pat your hand in support, it doesn’t mean they’re not mentally categorizing you under “freak” or “goonie” or “pathetic” or “grimy” etc. If you’re the type that has loose, loose lips when it comes to all things personal about your life, prepare to be judged. If you have a problem with that, go share with a shrink..they’re trained (and paid) to listen to your crazy ass without judgement.
