I came of age during the mid-nineties, right around the time Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" came out. I remember I was really into it it and so were my friends, but I didn't understand one part of it. I remember saying to my friend, "what does she mean by go down on you?"
I thought she meant sitting on the guy's lap. My friend said to me that it was talking about blow jobs. I didn't know what these were and so I asked.
Well, needless to say she told me what a blow job was.
I was so utterly disgusted!
I said in horror, "people DO THAT?!"
We both agreed we would NEVER do that to a guy ever.
