Often I'll see comments like that made concerning kissing up to someone excessively. Like, a comment made about someone who is being overly flattering might be something like "wow, could you blow that guy any harder?" The implication being that the other person is kissing up to them SO hard that they might as well be performing sexual favors for them in an effort to get in their good graces. Hence likening it to a form of prostitution.

That was how I took moondog's comment. That Trump was excessively kissing up to Putin.
Definitely, there's an element of that. But part of the perceived insult is also in Trump and Putin being men, and blowing someone indicating submission and a slight against someone's "masculinity" whatever the hell that is.
Interesting article in my Twitter feed last night on an issue Greg (The Shrike) brought up...

However much of a hypocrite moondog is, the article, I feel, represents something else

Agreed that they went way too far by including everyday useage of the word, sucks.

Get to a sex education class, won't you? Or at least, use Google

Cannoli is right: "sucks" implies the active party in oral sex

*I* don't make the determination, liberal society did.

It most certainly *does* police speech.

That's individuals policing speech, not society. Agregate individual action =/= collective action

I don't think it's appropriate, but I think it's more about sexual shaming

I think our casual acceptance of rape as part of prison is a major moral failure
