For my final essay for my undergraduate degree, I wrote about something I was passionate about. I wrote about something that I had been confused about since 2005, participating in since 2012, and celebrating since 2013.
Blow jobs.
FUN FACT: In Italian, a blow job is called ‘pompino’ or ‘boccino.’
Thus, in honor of my fourth Blow Job Anniversary, here is the essay I wrote for John Burnside’s American Poetry course.
