I believe the German shepherd's exact words were "arooooooooo!".

I remember the scene being very traumatizing. For years afterward I was convinced that every dog whose belly I scratched was expecting more.

Well their hard ons are pretty obvious, it's not like they can adjust beneath their trousers or hide them with text books.
Q. Why do dogs lick their own balls?
A. Because they can.

I call it "taking out the lipstick." Their erections seriously look like something Maybelline would sell.

You just never know what they're thinking when they give you that dark soulful gaze and their tongue is lolling out the side of their mouth. Such manipulative little animals they are.
Hmm...I'll never look at a tube of lipstick the same way again.

Gah, I read this piece of joyous, prurient dreck when I was a teenager, a million years ago. I can't prove it, but I suspected then, and still do, that the thing was ghost written by a man.
...oh, and you guys? Ew!

I think this thread is causing a run on the market. My Revlon stock is falling precipitously as we speak...

Ever since I read Donald Goines's
Dopefiend last month, I get really, really uneasy around German shepherds. Now I'm even more afraid of them. Thanks, Kirk.

Uh-oh---what happens in Dopefiend, Adam? Or do I want to know?

Tell me there wasn't a lipstick involved.

I'm so sorry, Nancy---I've scarred you with that remark!

Yes you have, Kirk. That's why I now get my smooth and slick lip gloss from a pot. ;)

Will you forgive me if I tell you it's much healthier for you that way?

Well, Kirk, I'm not sure if you want to know or not, but since you asked, there's a morbidly obese drug dealer named "Porky" in
Dopefiend who has women put on sex shows with his German shepherds when they want heroin and they don't have any money. Later in the book, Porky's woman Smokey starts noticing how "freaky" the dogs are starting to get for the ladies in general and she thinks that she might have to put them down.

Yowza---but I gotta love a book with characters named Porky and Smokey. One more for the to-read list. I'm trying to get through Bloch's
Shooting Star right now, but it's not captivating me.

"there's a morbidly obese drug dealer named "Porky" in Dopefiend who has women put on sex shows with his German shepherds when they want heroin and they don't have any money."
Holy crap... when I read this I kept thinking to myself "Why do the German Shepherds want heroin and of course they won't have any money... they're dogs"
