      We’ll have none of that moralistic judgement and hetro-normative focus on penetration around here thanks. Love is love, and what happens between consenting plugs and ports is their business.

        And why should pleasure only come from penetration anyway? I say we need to normalise tickling, fondling, blowing and licking (with mutual consent) as equally valid expressions of love and trust. I, for one, have witnessed the great emotional release involved in the ritual “right side up?” foreplay so often engaged with hetero USB-A intercourse.

          I’m now thinking that all those apple chargers didn’t actually have loose wiring, they just enjoyed the extra jiggling.

            Ah thanks. I’m the sort of person that only plugs things in where they’re supposed to be plugged in and checks several times that it is indeed the correct place before I plug it in, and then checks a couple of times that I’ve plugged it in correctly. It wouldn’t occur to me to do it any other way. And I’m no fun at parties!

              A usb plug can be made to fit a hdmi socket (hence the ‘well you can’ comment) but yeah, the pins don’t match up so you get nada. Possibly some damage to parts if you get gung ho about jamming it in there
