Ask Blognigger: A Happy Marriage - Pt. 3


The solution is this:

And let me just say one final piece: I understand your skepticism. One of the greatest disappointments of my life has been learning that whenever someone says they have something that's magic, it's always bullshit. Starting with seeing Doug Henning and those bozos in Merlin when I was 8, and learning that all that shit was fake, and moving on to any time someone has said they had a secret or a shortcut or a strategy or a solution, it has always turned out to be not quite what was promised; always designed to make you work more, or wait more, or buy more shit, but never ever the magic it was promised to be.

I'm sure that what solidified my skeptical foundation must have been my experience with Rembrant Co. X-Ray Sunglasses. I can just smell the pages of comic books and my old room when I look at this:

Gorgeous. I'll probably see something like this in my mindseye on my deathbed. My grampa chillin and beckoning me with those yellowed comic books and that smell.

But goddamnit, look at those bullshit false promises. The lies were so deceptive, so gorgeous, so American...

See through fingers!
through skin!
See yolk of egg
See lead of pencil
Nothing else to buy!

It's like a beautiful poem written by George Bush and Gollum.

See through clothes. See...through...clothes. Now that was the real jam right there, and that's what got me to save my allowance and send in ten bucks. I couldn't tell my parents of course - I wonder why not? Maybe the glasses were just so incredible that I knew my mom and dad would stand in the way or fuck it up somehow. Or maybe I just knew that my parents wouldn't let me have them because my they didn't want me to see naked ladies, like not being allowed to get a Playboy.

I couldn't tell my parents, so I got a fucking money order. First trip to the post office ever - 107th between Broadway and Amsterdam next to the methadone clinic. Anyone feel me? Holla back.

I checked our goddamn mailbox every day after school - skipped mcDonald's and went straight home to beat my mom back to the house. When the package finally arrived and I saw it in that mailbox, I felt like I was going to swallow my own tongue or suffocate.

I hid that shit under my shirt so the neighbors wouldn't see, got upstairs, ran to my room, tore that shit open, ripped out the glasses, threw them on and nothing nothing nothing happened. My hands looked totally normal just darker and it was all fake; all bullshit and fake. I was all alone in my fucking silent room with the torn cardboard mailer and the useless sunglasses and no one to tell.

So I know why you want to protect yourself, and build a wall, and don't want to believe me when I say I have the solution. But I do. I have the solution.

Here it is:

Handjobs from white chicks.

There. Now that you have it, you can relax. There's no more Terrance and Phillips, it's just us, and we have the secret. Now you can relax, and let me explain it.

There are several different locations in New York City, and I'm not talking about little asian massage parlors on top of wholesale garment shops... I'm talking about locations in manhattan in which white college-age girls, who are NOT prostitutes and are not dirty and are not diseased and are not depressed, will welcome you into their neat studio apartments, and for half the price of your cable bill, will take off your clothes, take off their tops, rub your shoulders, work their way down your chest, envelop your redness, drip oil onto you, tease it until you're as hard as a 2-by-4, and finally, while you gently caress their sorority breasts and gaze into their blue eyes, they will grab hold of you and hit 5th gear till you make a mess.

Want to know where they are? Fuck you, I'm not fucking illoogle. Go learn about boolean operators and search the interdex.

I find that practicing this ritual once a month allows me to remain a productive member of society, and stay completely and utterly dedicated to my fantastic and unique wife - without whom I would be dead as Len Bias. I am able to maintain a productive and beautiful sex life with my wife, because once a month I know that I will be able to experience a powerful orgasm with a completely new girl who poses NO threat to my family, and who I never have to see again.

Let me anticipate some of your comments, not that it will stop you:

1) I don't give a FUCK what society says. I absolutely KNOW that this solution is the right one for me, because it lets me deal with my chemicals and satisfies a STUPID, MEANINGLESS chemical urge in a safe and efficient manner. As far as I'm concerned, it's like eating a grape or taking a lexapro: Chemical imbalance, Chemical realignment. Because those chemicals are properly maintained, I won't ever have my head explode in 20 years and have to flee my family the way my father did.

2) The churchy cockmasters who tell me I'm a sinner have already slashed their credibility by giving rimjobs to alterboys. Fuck you.

3) To the judgemental park slope dykes and dads who ask me if I'd want my daughter doing that to some guy some day? FUCK YOU. That's a low blow but I have an answer for you: I'm a dad, and to think about my daughter with ANY man - even one she's dated for 5 years without holding hands - in ANY kind of physical situation makes me want to vomit and cut my own eyes out. So I'm not a good judge. Go fuck yourself.

4) To the judgemental park slope moms who would ask what about my wife? How would I feel if she were doing the same thing? Well Oprah, if she kept it under control the way I do, and was SAFE, and it made her happy AND she didn't let me find out about it?? GOOD. god bless her. I hope she IS doing it.

I guess fuck you too, right?

5) To the judgemental fucks who ask how I can look at myself in the mirror while I live a life peppered with a monthly lie? No, U! TELLING HER would be the most selfish thing I could ever do- it would be all about absolving myself from the nonsensical guilt you're trying to infest me with, and it would ONLY serve to hurt her for no reason in return.

That's the solution, and I feel great.

There's your answer Deb - that's my advice. If you want a long and successful marriage, respect the chemicals, and know that they have nothing to do with whether your husband loves you the most. He's gonna look at tits. He's gonna spank it to the girls in his ibook. He's gonna wish he could have a monthly handjob from a white chick.

Let him do it! Be secure! He's a person and he loves you! Help him be like me; I'm the greatest fucking husband in the world.

Confusion said...

Dude,

What's with the White chicks? Not that I'm anti-white girl, I love the whole beatiful tits and ass rainbow.

But I don't understand why only a white girl can satisfy your chemical urges.

If she's mixed are you only half satiated?

Reminds me of a skit on the Blackstar album (which I'm sure is from some movie i never saw)
"I'm so conditioned by White Society, even my conditioning has been conditioned"

brosti said...

I will grant you that hormones drive us all around like cheap plastic toys, smashing us into immovable objects purely for the thrill of watching our wheels fly off. True. No argument from me there.

What I don't get is why hand jobs from assorted college girls is really that much more effective than a good ol' DIY wank?

Now, if you tell me that there are little college boys setting up lemonade-and-cunnilingus stands all along West Fourth for a reasonable price... now THAT is something I might be able to, er, support.

Anonymous said...

I just want to tell you that I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT with you on this. And I'm a white chick (DAR-certified).

The other thing that keeps us actually having sex with each other is that my husband pays me. He gives me a hundred dollars (one fifty for the small hole).

I don't give a shit what society says. This is better for us and our two children then divorce or some love child somewhere.


Cheers!

PS If Brosti is a guy then he can't be married. He still has the possibility of sleeping with strange women. When that door is closed to him, then he can see how good a diy is.

frdmexp said...

I call total bullshit on your so called magical panacea to a long and happy marriage. Why? I'm sure your wife is not all googly eyed at the prospect of banging you and only you. Let your amazing antidote to same person sex out in the open, so she can decide what she needs to do to muddle through another naked session with her husband. I can respect your solution but only if all parties are in the know. Trust me -- she's checking out the dudes on the subway too...and not for fashion reasons.

Sammy said...

@anon 10:06

Do you swear to god that your husband pays you? I'm not judging - it sounds cool but never heard of it before. Are you being sarcastic? PLEASE write a little more here about that arrangement.

@brosti, listen, I'm a very good looking 24 year old fray-boy type guy and i will buy you lemonaide and go down on you and you don't have to TOUCH me. Swear to god this is serious - email me if you are serious - 123anon123@gmail.com

Brosti that's the stupidest thing i have ever heard. are you being serious?

Anonymous said...

God DAMNIT bn, the only problem i have is with your revealing this best-kept-secret with the entire world. I have to confess, anonymously like a chicken shit, to being _all about_ the places that BN is talking about. One word of warning bn - be careful - i remember when I was a once a monther. I'm at about 2-3 times per week. Of course, I'm rich, so it's not a problem for me. anyway, buyer beware - it's addictive shit

ELiza said...

OK, see here's where I think men and women hit the "two roads diverged in a forest" bump. I totally get the idea/appeal of an actual bona fide affair...but I'm a good girl and love my husband, so I don't partake in any of that shit. But like going to someone that I found on craigslist...for the express purpose of havin' him eat me out for 20 mins...and then I just hit the road? And act all nonchalant when I get home, like I was just out for a mani/pedi? I guess I'm a pussy (no pun intended), b/c I definitely couldn't handle that.

BUT Tron at the Cornelia Day Spa sounds kind of intriguing..

@anon 10:06: I happen to LOVE that idea. And I think $100 is pretty reasonable (though I would bump that shit up to $500 for back door, but that's just me). I'm curious about details though too: like does the money just get deposited for you in your account? Do you get cash? Have a drawer where your "bangin bucks" get stashed and you can just grab it whenever?

@brosti: Please report back and let us all know if you do, indeed, hook up with Sammy. I'm sure I speak for the BN fan base at large when I say that we're dyin with anticipation to hear about whether or not BN makes his first actual "love" connection.

JJ Daddy-O said...

Hey, I think we grew up in the same neighborhood. I remember the big SRO next door to that post office. It really added a certain je ne sais quoi to that block.
Did you go to PS75?

Blognigger said...

JJ Daddy-o are you serious?!

For some reason that's really intense for me to hear - you don't perchance, remember the SMELL, do you? It really affected me - it was like the smell of Aluminum Pepto Bismol and human dispair...

re school, nah, I went to a preppie white school that cost a lot of money.

So, if you're in that neighborhood, do you remember Movie Place? HELLOMOVIEPLACE!
Do you remember Augie's? Sal and Carmine's? 107 West?

Ok Quiz question to prove it: What was the name of the storefront that sold weed on 103rd during '93-'95???

Hornery said...

These aren't "stupid chemicals." Our genes dictate our behavior in order to reproduce themselves. And for all you "Well she should do it too" dummies, SHE is not a HE! Remember the saying "women fuck to get the hug, men hug to get fucked?" We are different and none of your p.c. bullshit is going to change the fact that your vagina is not a penis.
BN is correct not to hurt his wife with a sorry ass confession-that bullshit has torn good marriages up; and really; a man CAN handle a lil stray now and then. It is NOT the same for a woman to have an affair or some stray. Women are emotional creatures, and fantasize about foot rubs more than getting eaten out by some (Danger!) stranger. Chippendales is an aberration, a gimmick; but strippers have been around forever, as has prostitution; regardless of the societal norms.
I appreciate your honesty BN, and I'd love to see the reality of those who think they are "different."

Anonymous said...

Hi everybody. Shy white girl here, long time bn vulture, first post here. I'm really proud of bn for being so honest - I'm even prouder of hornery, who just makes so much sense i wish we were friends. the beginning of this post with the comic book xray glasses is one of the most beautiful things i've ever read. I know what it feels like bn, thats my whole life.
bn, i'm not HOT, i'm pretty ok but yaknow, not like a tv star - if you want to i live in carroll gardens, and if you want the next time you can come to my house and i will do it for free. just the hand, and i promise i won't tell anyone. thanks for the great great blog and place to hang out. maybe i'll write more again this wasn't so bad.................

Shit, I need a blog

Ha - Horse, I hear ya!!

Tell you tho, as someone who had a blog for a couple years, it's not this glamorous...

blognigger makes it look easy :\

Seth said...

I wonder though...while you are getting jerked off, doesn't the image of your wife squatting atop some Nigerian sunglasses salesman or Ivoirian khat dealer ever enter your mind? It really wouldn't bother you?

Sway said...

There are women -- strangers -- who perform sex acts on you for money and who aren't prostitutes? That IS magic!

And I'm going to have to pretend you're joking about this or else I won't be able to read your blog anymore. Sorry, but this whole "my hormones make me an asshole so I can't help it but at least I admit it!" rationalization makes me sick. Same with the "all men are total pigs and if you think they aren't you're fooling yourself" PLUS "women don't want sex like men do" double-whammy of bullshit. Sorry, BN. We all (men, women, married, single) desire some Strange every now and again. But just because you feel an urge doesn't mean that it's inevitable and natural that you follow through.

But this must be satire, right? Right?

amelia_bedelia said...

hey Sway - SHOVE it, you self-righteous, judgemental cow. Enough of the threats. You only enjoy art provided by morally-sound (or dishonest) artists? That's not going to leave you with a lot of art to choose from.

You can start by throwing out your Hemingway and your John Coltrane and your John Lennon. Plus, MLK is well-known to have had affairs all throughout his life - guess you won't be listening to him anymore either.

Beat it, ya park slope hypocrite.

Anonymous said...

Watch this, I'm psychic:

anonymous / 3:53 is a married uhhhhhhh WOMAN???!

It was a tough guess, since you know so much about all 4 groups (married / unmarried / man / woman)

Like I said I'm psychic.

Sway said...

Hey! I'm not a hypocrite OR a cow! Fuck all y'alls! And believe me I KNOW many of the artists/politicians I enjoy are/were cheating bastards. Hmm. You may have a point, then, that I should ignore the parts of BN's life/philosophy that bother me and just read the stuff I like? I can and will try, I guess. But: a blog about someone's personal real life seems different than a work of fiction or a painting. A bit harder to ignore someone's personal philosophy when that's what they're writing about, you know?

I also didn't mean my comment as a "threat." I just started reading BN like a week ago and am still figuring out what he's all about. I'm sure he doesn't care if he loses me as a reader.

And of course I'm a married woman; who cares? I never said I know everything about "those four groups" just that all adults think about fucking other people every now and again. Seemed uncontroversial to me.

Cable Guy said...

hey Sway - that last comment of yours (4:35) was very thoughtful and human. Glad to have you around.

If it makes you feel any better, bn has never posted anything anywhere near this personal, and he doesn't tend to stay on the same topic, so I very much doubt this will be "in your face" - it's actually a lot more like amelia said, in that you're reading funny or though-provoking shit here, but not thinking about the personal aspects of the artist. This blog is far from a diary as I think most of us would agree...

yes he pays me and it brings out the belle du hour in me. The whole whore thing is a total turn on for me. It was always my fantasy to be a call girl, almost went in that direction but couldn't go through with it.

Had a swedish looking friend who used to jerk off guys. Put herself through college this way. Charged about one hundred dol

frdmexp said...

"Women are emotional creatures, and fantasize about foot rubs more than getting eaten out by some (Danger!) stranger."

I can assure you my friends are not fantasizing about foot rubs when then see a tasty man. Is this what men like to believe so they feel safe in their "mandom"...that their woman couldn't possibly be thinking "I want to fuck that cute guy walking by me." Please think again. Delusion is a comfortable yet false place to reside.

amelia_bedilia said...

@frdmexp

the quote you're attributing to a male delusional scumbag was posted by a woman. duh! Hornery is a woman.

As am I.

Retraction? Apology? Somehow, those never seem to materialize...

Mistress La Spliffe said...

You're not blogging from your home computer, are you? Because if you are, you may as well have just confessed to your wife, buddy.

Let us know how that goes . . .

frdmexp said...

@amelia_bedilia said...

"Retraction?Apology?" ...For what?? Oh right, I should apologize to the males I might have offended or I should apoligize to the ladies....so confused.

Thanks for the laugh.

I have to say I'm more disturbed that women are perpetuating the myth. I'm also more perplexed as I just read hornery's blog -- Your Cheating Wife. She has an open marriage (and kudos to her if that's what works for them), so she knows it's not about the cuddling.

dawn said...

when it comes to women and sex it's more complex (typically) then it is for a man. men (typically) like to boink, are thinking about boinking and just wanna boink any which way they can. several people on here have shown us that people "do" sex in a variety of ways and that we all have different beliefs about what's right/what's wrong. I think it's really up to the people doing the boinking (or the variation thereof to decide this). the thing i have a problem with is BN's secrecy and dishonesty regarding his sexual behavior as it relates to his wife and him getting serviced outside of his marriage. he's made several assumptions about what he believes his wife thinks and feels and what he believes she would or would not want. which interestingly and predicably all seem to support his (monthly) sex purchases from young, needy, white women.

Eliza said...

@hornery: never heard this one before

"women fuck to get the hug, men hug to get fucked?"

That jam t-o-t-a-l-l-y sums shit up for me. And Right on with the rest of what you said.

@anon 12:19 aka shy white girl: speak it out, sista!

Honestly, the take away from all of this shit for me is this: do whatever the fuck works for you.

Marriage is hard ass work, no matter what your situation is (kids, no kids, rich, poor, etc). I don't care how much you love someone or how much they love you back, you've still gotta work like a dog to get that shit to stick. Leavin' stuff alone, closing your eyes and hoping for the best = doomsday, in my opinion. So if handjobs from white honeys on craigslist is your thing, coolio. If getting bangin bucks from your husband is your bag, more power to you. Whatever works for you, is what you should be doing. And really, who the fuck am I (or you, or you, or you) to judge??

one love.

JJ Daddy-O said...

BN, you are wayyyy younger than me. We moved to the UWS in '67 and I finally moved away for good in '89. My parents still live there though.
To give you an idea, we used to get out of school and go to Ray's or Ammal Pizza and get a slice.... for 25 cents. The Olympia theater (where we could shout at the bad guys on screen) on 106th was a dollar and I used to see Nicky Barnes driving his Eldorado up Bway.
When I visit my parents now, I feel like I'm in Beverly Hills with organic groceries and coffee shops on every corner. Not to mention you urban stroller pilots with your Bugaboos and Phil & Teds. :)

ever considered that it's not your choice whether or not your wife knows the truth?

if it were her choice, to know the truth or to remain ignorant, what choice do you think she would make?

@anonymous 10:34: stupid has nothing to do with it. C'mon, 'splain it to Lucy! Simile and metaphor come in handy when clinical language fails.

@generous_college_boy: how sweet, especially since you have no idea what sort of sasquatch you may be talking to! But honestly, the risk-versus-reward equation just doesn't add up for me. I was joking about the cuni stand, but still think it's a nice idea.

@those who think getting paid to fuck your husband is just awesome! Are you kidding me? 1) If I needed to be paid for that, I seriously think I would be looking elsewhere, and 2) the whole concept implies that the husband controls the finances. The idea of being 100% financially dependent on ANYBODY gives me serious heebie-jeebies. How can people live with absolute fiscal vulnerability by CHOICE? I have never understood this part of the marriage tradition.

Anonymous said...

brosti,

you must be about 20 years old.You take everything so literally. You're so idealistic and so sweet.

My husband "paying" me is just a fantasy we have together. When you have been happily married for ten years with two kids then you get back to me, you hear?

Songoman said...

A friend recommended your site. I must say I am offended by the constant use of the "N" word all over the place. Still, nigga, your story about the X ray glasses is MY story, man. Unbelievable. I went through the same pre-teen angst waiting for those MF's to show up in the mailbox, and when they did, in their shitty cardboard package, and I placed their shitty, japanese (back when that meant "not well made") frames on my prepubescent, eager to see-through-my-second-grade-teacher's-dress face and realized I'd been HAD, I lost my innocence. More than when Marcy Glass gave me the handjob in the back of Brian Sanderoff's car while Brian boned Tracey Cohen. It was WORSE than that. I'd been TRICKED. People had LIED. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about and like you, had to eventually find my porn elsewhere.

Good Story.

Anonymous said...

So J, your comment sounds so familiar. Have you ever tried relaxing outside your marriage? I mean with someone you know. I also read this blog, but, not to sound paranoid, offering handjobs to people over the Internet just because they tickled your imagination sounds a bit too relaxed. I am in a similar position, commited but a bit stale physical relationship.

villageidiot said...

*KIR* said...

I enjoy your blogs and your writing style! :)

Men who do what you describe in this blog are lesser men. You do not respect your wife, and you are weak. Too weak to be honest or faithful. Have fun bending my words, but if you were honest with your wife, I would have ZERO problems with the situation.

cowardice and selfishness are not sexy. I went *proverbially* limp reading your blog today. Do better.
