I Hate It When I Get a Stereotype Wrong
Last week I was out to dinner with the GF and her friend. A situation came up where she was asked if she was Jewish by the hostess. This is something her friend continually runs into. She is always asked if she is either: Hispanic, Jewish, or Italian. (She is half Jewish and half Irish.) Each time someone asks her it is like their secret attempt to bond and get her into their club. You can tell that is kind of annoys her.
Anyways while we were talking about this I made the crack that Jewish girls didn’t like to give oral sex. I think I said, “So one half of you gets hammered while the other half refuses to give head.” (You can see why all my girlfriend’s friends love me.) She corrected me and said the stereotype was that they loved to, which goes against everything I always heard. I googled it and found a few pages saying that the correct stereotype was that they gobbled cock like it was going out of style. I tried to think back about the two Jewish girls I dated while going to school at Albany but it was all a drunken haze.
I am still not sure which one is correct but I am open to the idea that I could be wrong. It isn’t the first time I got a stereotype incorrect. Here are a few of the stereotypes I thought while growing up:
England has the best dental program on the face of the earth.
Black people love cantaloupe.
(See Seal agrees..)
Mexicans and Mormons believe in just having single child households.
Asian guys have huge penises.
The Irish have exquisite cuisine.
The French make lousy lovers and are extremely courageous in battle.
Jewish people are known for their penchant for backbreaking labor.
White people have everything stolen from them and have their ideas get exploited. Like Michael Jackson was copying Donnie Osmond in the recording studio and on the dance floor.
Italians all run legitimate businesses.
Thank god I had pop culture come along and straighten all this out for me.
So can we get a verdict on the whole blow job thing?

Nice Kev, nice… By the way, some Irish cuisine is damn fine! Take our finest corn mash for example. Not only is it tasty but it comes as a liquid, lasts for months w/o spoiling ( as if it ever actually last a month ), and has many essential nutrients. Like vitamin L (liquor). See, point proven! Plus our beer is essentially liquid bread… need I say more?

Kevin growing up in Quenns N.Y. I can tell you Jewish girls love giving head, actually thats what they live for! You were right about Italians, we do run legitimate businesses.All black people love mellons in general and haven’t you heard of the Chinese fellow Long Duck Dong?

The two Jewish girls I dated enjoyed giving head, but weren’t any good at it!

There was once a well-brought-up J.A.P. I knew in high school that went on to become the blowjob queen of some school in Boston. Maybe you met her? In any case, she’d blow just about anyone, but she saved the snatch for her Hymie brethren… not that there was much left to save after high school…

Seems like you need the perspective of a woman here–which you won’t get from me. Just wanted to defend Irish cuisine: If you have enough of the liquid bread, you won’t give a damn about the health of your teeth or the quality of your head.

Hmmm…
I have many Jewish friends and 2 outta 3 (did I say I had many Jewish friends or three?) REFUSE to give head. One gave it for her boyfriend helping me move in 2004, and the other reported it as the perfect anniversary gift, once a year is enough for her.
I, myself, am agnostic.

I dated a girl for seven years who was half Jewish and half Catholic. I can’t answer your question because we never got that far. There was way too much guilt involved.

The one Jewish girl I dated was very willing and very good with the BJ’s but I thought the stereotype for Jewish women and sex was “facing Bloomingdale’s”.
I’m not Jewish but I’m often mistaken to be and get lots of friendliness from other Jewish folk trying to bond.
To add to your inventory of stereotypes, I grew up in WV but I still have all of my teeth and none of my cousins married each other. sheesh - we really failed to live up to the expectations of the non-hillbillies.

Those stereotypes sound correct to me on a side note did your karma play into the horse being put down at the Kentucky Derby being the first time you go a horse has to die

They do give head. It is what they do with the money shot that is the stereotype. At least that’s what my collection of ‘Tasteless Jokes’ books tell me hehe.

The French DO make lousy lovers and Jewish girls enjoy sex without guilt.
