Schema interviewssex and the tee shirt | look away...look away...
Sex and food are commonly paired together in pop culture (re: Tampopo; whipped cream; aphrodiastics like oysters and chocolate; flavoured condoms, etc). Both The Fruit Hunters by Adam Leith Gollner and Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things That Are Very, Very Bad for Me by Sarah Katherine Lewis investigate the relationships between sex and food.
You'll learn tidbits that include how in medieval times a woman would peel an apple, stick it in her armpit to infuse it with her odour and then present it to her lover (gee, now that's love!); or how mangoes are used to demonstrate a technique for fellatio in the Kama Sutra (er, but they are round); or how to "cook people into bed" as a seduction technique. And did you know the Germans have invented a dildo made from gummy bear material that scientists caution can cause a yeast infection due to its high sugar content? Ouch.
And, of course, sex and fashion is a given...so why not sex and the tee shirt? The basic tee can be sexy...and it can also be controversial, especially with a design that shocks one with the "look away...yet can't" impulse.
Rumplo, the online tee shirt community that shares designs from global artists, has a fair share of sex and the tee shirt designs that beg to be noticed. Why not try the one that says: "Bukkake Ruined My Carpet" -- for the truely brave (P.S. if you don't know what "bukkake" is, please google it yourself...and P.P.S: Congratulations, you're not a pervert!)? Or the one with a nipple being tweaked -- for the equally brave? So find the perv in you, express it, and wear a sex-y tee with aplomb...just not in front of your parents.

Okay, this is not really Sex and the Tee...more like Masochistic Love and the Tee!
