Explanation

This comic is a guide titled "Talking Cool About Sex" that parodies the "I like my [women/men] like I like my [thing]" joke format. Each row of the table pairs a category with a description that works as a double entendre -- simultaneously describing the thing and making a suggestive or absurd comment about romantic or sexual preferences.

Some highlights include: "I like my women like I like my composers: sad and Russian," "I like my women like I like my cake: moist and near cake," and the self-aware "I like my women like I like my supermodels: supermodels." The men's section includes "I like my men like I like my coffee: Columbian, and trapped in a bag" and "I like my men like I like my celery: secretly coated in peanut butter." The final section on masturbation includes the self-deprecating "I like my masturbation like I like my comics: short, and featuring Aquaman," which is a meta-joke by the comic's creator, Zach Weinersmith, poking fun at both his own comic and the notoriously underappreciated superhero Aquaman. The humor throughout relies on the absurdity of stretching the analogy format past its breaking point.
