Last week, when I posted about semen, Swistle left a comment talking about how it (the taste of semen) was a topic of great interest in high school because it was a sex topic within the experience of both the girls who were "doing it" and the girls who were "waiting." That made me think, wow, was there really all that oral sex going on in high school? I never knew.
It also got me curious, and so I decided to ask you. I mean, I've already asked about both your public toilet and your dirty underwear habits, so I figure I can ask this too. I would dearly love it if you would all leave me a one-word answer to this simple question: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" For our purposes, and for reasons which are very amusing to me but which I shall decline to explain, the "chicken" shall be the illustrious blow job, and the "egg" shall be sex of the intercoursal variety.
And to be fair, I will naturally give my answer first. Egg.
And now you. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Egg first!! In high school I really thought the chicken was Ewwwwwwwww!! But now I realise the power of the chicken and have been know to use it as a bargining tool. My husband has no complaints yet!
Posted by Michelle | October 12, 2006 8:14 AM
Is it bad that I can't remember for sure? I *think* it was the egg. I have TMJ which means my jaw hurts when I have chicken.
p.s. I was thinking about your sweeter tasting email the other day. Why would it need to be sweeter? The taste buds for sweet are on the tip of your tongue, not the back.

It was the chicken, it was in grade 11 with a guy named Julian. He convinced me it would be FUN and everyone else was doing it.
Yea, Julian and I broke up shortly thereafter. And for the record I sincerely believe chicken tastes like olives.

Definitely the egg. I even convinced my husband that he could get through the rest of his life without any chicken from me. So, now when chicken does come into play, it makes it that much sweeter for him (ha! "sweeter").
Posted by T | October 12, 2006 9:47 AM

Hmmm, that is a really good question and honestly, I can't remember whether I chickened or egged first. I do know that I was chickened before I was egged... (heehee, that just sounds funny) which was what made the guy my first egg. *blush*

I think it highly likely that the chicken came first, although it was so long ago that I can't be sure. Sad, really. It was such a big deal at the time (either way, chicken or egg) and now I can't remember!!

Posted by jonniker | October 12, 2006 11:01 AM

Ok for me it was Egg.. and not until I was almot 17. Most of my friends had their egg's by 15. I always warned them not to bust their egg's, but alas, they never listened, lol. Back then I thought Chicken was gross and nasty till my husband and I decided to explore... which, most of you might be suprised to know... was at my request, not hubby's, lol.

Using the chicken as a bargaining tool? What's wrong with you people? You can't withold the chicken and expect any in return. That's just not fair.
For the record: Chicken, and from the looks of things, I'm one of the few who enjoys chicken just to enjoy chicken.

Oh! And I have TMJ too, which made chicken a bit of a thrill on occasion. My jaw actually got stuck open once and I had to manually pop it back into place so it would close.
Or was that too much sharing?
Posted by liz | October 12, 2006 3:51 PM
I egged before chickened, but they both happened on same occasion.
And TO me, I got chicken before egg, but again, both happened on the same occasion.
So, in short, it was:
1) Chicken to me
2) Egg
3) Chicken from me.
And, there you have it. :)

Okay ~ this is too funny...but I was having a discussion with a large group of friends at a very crowded, loud bar one night about (ahem) chickens. (okay, not chickens...but...you know...) Apparently, most of the male friends I have do not consider it "sex". I asked one of the male friends to define "sex" for me. He used the word "penetrate" something along the lines of it missing during the oral version. I proceeded to yell across the table to him (just as the jukebox stopped and everyone else in the bar got quiet) "But if I do that, I'm getting penetrated!"
My face turned beat red and I wanted to crawl under the table. I became quite popular at the bar, however...everyone wanted to buy me a drink!
To answer your question ~ Egg first...I'm not a big fan of the chicken. :)

2nd comment, sorry but even now, married and in my 30's - there will be NO chicken AFTER egg. Challenging enough to deal with chicken... um.... gravy (?) without having to deal with what the egg has been marinating in. I'm very surprised (in a total non judgy way) how many people were able to chicken for the very first time after egging (sometimes, also for the very first time).
I'm hungry but I think I'll have beef. I mean a taco. I mean - forget it, I'll have ice cream.

Egg and even that took for bloody ever. In high school I held my books under my chin and stared at my shoes all the time.

For me: egg. I told my 15 y.o. sister that she shouldn't try egg until she was comfortable with the idea of chicken. Until then she's not mature enough. ;o)

The egg. My long-term boyfriend thought that any girl that did the "chicken" was nasty and skanky. I didn't even THINK of doing the "chicken" until we split up and I was dating someone else. Of course that "chicken" didn't happen for MONTHS, during which time he valiantly tried to convince me that he wouldn't think I was trashy for doing said "chicken".
