Nearly 15 years ago, an episode of “The Sopranos” showed just how emasculating some men consider cunnilingus. Uncle Junior’s lover Roberta tells him that he’s “a real artist” when it comes to “kissing down there” — but instead of puffing up his chest with pride and telling all his fellow mafiosi, he warns her not to dare spread the word. “They think if you suck pussy you’ll suck anything,” says Junior. “It’s a sign of weakness and possibly a sign that you’re a fanook.” Tony finds out and humiliation ensues. Junior gets so enraged that he considers having his nephew murdered — all over some oral.
