Overheard when: 11:26pm on Sunday, April 19, 2009
Overheard where: in Chelsea at the New Venus Restaurant, located at 252 8th Avenue in New York, NY [map]
Overheard who: two white, well-dressed gay men in their late 20s or early 30s—one with short dark hair and the other with blond spiky/messy hair—conversing at great length about penises in the booth directly behind me as Edwardo and I and our friend Laraine enjoyed late-night coffee and desserts.
Overheard what:
Blondie: "...I actually really liked him, but he's uncut and I just don't think I can handle that."
Brownie: "Really?"
Blondie: "Yeah, I don't know why but I just can't get into that. Do you like guys who are uncut?"
Brownie: "Well, I wouldn't say it's a preference, but... it doesn't really bother me. I think that I like the surprises it reveals sometimes."
Blondie: "But some guys don't clean themselves very well so you can get some pretty nasty surprises."
Brownie: "Well that I'm not into. But I had a threesome with Steve and... um..."
Blondie: "With Steve and Doug?"
Brownie: "No, it was with Steve and some little Italian guy, but I forget his name."
Blondie: "And they were both uncut?"
Brownie: "Yeah, but it was cool..."
Blondie: "I don't know why, but I'm just not into uncut guys. I think it looks like an anteater."
Brownie: [laughs]
Blondie: "But I feel kinda' bad that I won't date a guy just because he's uncut."
Brownie: "Don't worry about it, it happens."
