Belly Busting

How to deal with an exhibitionist girlfriend.
Monday Aug 25, 2008.     By Anna Pulley
Centerstage Chicago Nightlife City Guide Arts

Dear Consultant,

My girlfriend is a belly dancer and dances at a vegan restaurant twice a week. I always go to watch her dance and sometimes when she really gets into the dance she has orgasms on stage. They are not really big ones or anything but because I know how she acts and the sounds she makes when she has one, it kind of embarrasses me and when I've talked to her about it, she says I am overreacting and that no one else notices. She also says I am just jealous because she can get off without my help. Am I being a prude about this and wouldn't anyone get a little jealous?

~Her Hips Do Lie?

You know, when I first read this I thought it was fake, but then I remembered my bi-weekly orgasm at Joann Fabrics. So I empathize. Your girlfriend's inspiration could be the vegan restaurant; in my experience, these places often project a peaceful, spiritual (read: "cultish") vibe. If you don't believe me, visit Alice & Friends, Victory's Banner, Veggie Bite, etc., where the station is always tuned to "Supreme Master Television," and where whispered voices speak of the apocalypse through loudspeakers and pictures of men in diapers. Considering the Seitan-ic atmosphere (zing!), your girlfriend may just be preserving the natural order of things.

Let's get one thing out of the way now, shall we, because I really care about you. You are jealous. But who wouldn't be? If I could orgasm from putting on a fringed sari and wocka wocka-ing next to plates of textured vegetable protein, do you think I'd be answering your question at all? The real problem then is you are jealous that she is getting off in front of strangers, when such a sacred act usually does not occur in the presence of others, unless something really good is on TV. The easy solution is to not go watch her perform, aka the "don't ask, don't dwell" option. Or you can be happy for her and marvel at her amazing hip flexors. After all, she IS going home with you. Thirdly, you can take up a hobby that allows you to ejaculate in public. Lacrosse perhaps?

Anna Pulley, our Carnal Consultant, has been on more bad dates than J. Lo's been to divorce court. She's been a one-date wonder and Wonder Woman. She's bi, and no she doesn't want to sleep with your boyfriend, thanks. When she's not giving advice, she enjoys theme parties for every and any occasion and working as a Carnal Consultant for Early to Bed. Buy her a drink or ask her a question already.
