Darling Nikki


When I was a teen and first heard the lyric, "I met her in a hotel lobby Masturbating with a magazine," I took it quite literally. I imagined a lady rolling up a magazine and using it as sex toy. I was horrified. That's one place you don't want to get a paper cut! But now I think I misunderstood. I believe he meant she was masturbating whlie looking at the images in a dirty magazine.

On the subject of Darling Nikki, how would you characterize it's genre? It's not quite rock and it's definitly not dance. I guess I'd call it burlesque?

I believe she was masturbating in the normal way and using the (dirty), magazine as inspiration, not a dildo.

Serious? wink)))))))

You're late. wink

That's exactly what some of us found out years later...

That's what we're talking about.

A magazine is not a steely dan. wink

By the way, women can masturbate without even anyone seeying it, even without touching.

SOme told me this.

A friend of mine sayd she did in on a busride, while reading a book, and no one knew it. No hands involved! biggrin

I wouldn't know, I'm gay.
