Please recall the big spoon/little spoon roles I described earlier. A look at the gay adaptation of these terms is useful in exposing the power relationship they instantiate. Among gay men, big spoon and little spoon have become softer ways of signaling whether one is a top or a bottom during sex. But, as has been true of the top/bottom dynamic since the beginning, these also carry certain connotative weight: Big spoons are manly and will take care of you (provided you let them use you to take care of themselves); little spoons are fragile, passive creatures that need to be held and kept safe. I think his familiarity with gay terms tells me more than I need to know about the author.

It’s not a Slate article unless it involves spooning a child.

Haha.. sobbing over Inside Out. I know it was a terrible movie, but sobbing? Partner, top, bottom.. homosexual? Complaining about spooning? You’ll be down to zero soon enough. Just another lost soul that will never know what it’s like to be in a normal, loving relationship.

At the end of this past summer, I dropped my partner off First warning buzzer goes off.
On the flight back, I decided that if I was going to make it through this period of lame but ultimately necessary physical separation, I would need to get a handle on my emotions.
Question: WHOOooo is writing this???
Answer: J. Bryan Lowder
Whatever... or whooever...
(This became acutely apparent after an in-flight viewing of Pixarââ¬â¢s Inside/Out that left me sobbing over my complimentary plastic cup of vino rojo.)
Wait...why am I silently reading this in my head...with a lisp
Because I am a Virgo or Type A or whatever... (even bigger lisp, with attitude)
Awww hell no.
I ain't reading about some flamer and his over emotional PH-EEEEELIngth

Itâs bracingly simple, I know, but it is the balm we need. Vertical cuddlingâwhether with an arm loosely paced around the neck, or a head freely reclined on a shoulder, or just sitting cozily side-by-sideâremoves much of the risk of physical discomfort and all of the semiotic violence that spooning conveys. It also allows for intimacy we actually experience because we are, you know, awake.
I wonder how long he has been waiting to shoehorn "semiotic violence" into an article.
When my partner finally returns, we will no doubt wish to be physically close (perhaps in yet unknown Spanish ways he is currently picking up).
Yuck.
But mark my words, we will not absent-mindedly spoon. Instead, we will cuddle with our wits about us, comfy in the knowledge that we are making the world a better place, one squeeze at a time.
Double Yuck.

When I read teh excerpt, I assumed it was the writings of an overly introspective woman. A creature with XY chromosones wrote this crap?! And he used the masculine pronoun when describing a partner? EEEEEEEEE-EWWWWWW!
I am so glad my wife and I don't have Marxism as the philosophical underpinnings of our marriage. Awful!
