It barely tastes like anything; I think women are grossed out by the idea of it and less by the taste. Men have been “dealing” with “the final product” since their balls dropped. It’s just more familiar to them.

Can mid-level associates really fire people or is he going to have to point this post out to a partner first?

Telemachus is soon to be screwed. There is essentially no way he can come out ahead (no pun intended, but nice anyway)

Option 1: he squeals, and goes for the EEOC complaint. His career at this firm is over, no matter how right he is. An associate who sucks cock to keep his/her job is not partner material, and too much of a stain on the old blue dress to show in public. Unless the associate is John Roberts, or John Robert's gay son, as soon as the arrangement is common knowledge, the countdown to dismissal begins. Best possible outcome is a year's salary and banishment from the legal establishment of the metro area. Could step down to a lower prestige level where telemachus remains unknown.

Option 2: keep sucking the salami, and hope for the best. Career at firm has a median expected life of 2 years. Mentor will find another gay summer associate to suck his meat, then Telemachus is just an old creepy guy with something on his chin. When Mentor is partner, he will not risk his position for a mid-level associate. As soon as Mentor marries or comes out officially, T is no longer useful. At best, Teelmachus is transferred to another department for dismissal. At worst, Mentor will fire T himself. T either goes quietly, or complains, and gets half year severance.

Option 3. Stop sucking. T's work will still suck, and dismissal will loom. An EEOC complaint will be treated as standard reaction to firing, and Firm knows mentor is gay. The threat has no teeth (good thing). A consensual kneeling is not likely to get a 7 figure settlement. Best hope: half year severance.

Option 4: slink away to another firm in shame, keeping your mouth literally shut about this behavior in the future. Only hope for a continued career in this Metro area.

If you care more about BJ's than your clients, your legal career will be short and thorny.

I just hope he knows to rinse his mouth. Also that employment discrimination cases generally pay out very little: http://lawblog.legalmatch.com/2010/06/18/most-e...

I mean that if you're actually good at sex, women are as horny/hornier than dudes. So, if you're doing it often, I'm glad I'm not her, is all.

Okay, so I would totally think this was fake, but I KNOW THIS GUY.

OMG, the story sounds way too familiar, and then throw in the style of writing in the e-mail . . .

I can confirm that this story is true and the activity in question is occurring at a firm that rhymes with "Fat Walleter." (CWT for you non-rhymers.)
Wow.
