Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E! Beaming with Pride celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 97^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2025), we highlight “He Whipped My Ass in Tennis (Then I Fucked His Ass in Bed)” performed by Pansy Division.

“I was really not the sort / To do well on the tennis court.”

Me either, Jon Ginoli (b. 1959), but like you, I enjoy watching those men serve 😂 😈, particularly Novak Djokovic!  “I couldn’t wait to feast my eyes / On his meaty, hairy thighs.” Yummy! Delish! Pansy Division keeps things queer as fuck – emphasis on the fuck part. Honestly, would we have it any other way? Pansy Division exemplifies NSFW punk and queercore to the nth degree. What better way to shock than to release a song, colorfully titled, “He Whipped My Ass in Tennis (Then I Fucked His Ass in Bed)” 😶 😶 😶. See where the fuckery comes into play, now? “He Whipped My Ass in Tenns” appears as the 30^th track on the band’s greatest hits compilation, The Essential Pansy Division. It follows the NSFW Christmas song, “Homo Christmas”. Can you say ho, ho, ho?! 🤭

Surprise, surprise, the lengthy title serves as the titular lyric comprising the recurring refrain of the song. “He whipped my ass in tennis,” Jon Ginoli sings, and continues, “Then I fucked his ass in bed.” Jon leaves little to the imagination.  He sucks at tennis (“I couldn’t get into a groove”), but excels at topping this fine, athletic tennis player (“But he said he liked the way I move”)!  Beyond the refrain, there is a chorus, an extension of the fuckery taking place in the refrain. Some of the happenings: “Then we licked and sucked / And sucked and licked / And licked and sucked a lot of dick.” To quote Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, “nothing’s shocking”.  Worth noting, by the sixth verse, there is a role reversal that also affects the rest of the song.  Jon beats him in tennis, and his nameless partner “fucked my ass in bed.” In the final chorus, they switch, concluding, “We whipped some ass in tennis / Then we fucked some ass in bed.” The bold, highly sexual, and unapologetic “He Whipped My Ass in Tennis (Then I Fucked His Ass in Bed)” is best taken with a grain of salt.  It’s fun, NSFW, and quite GAY! Beyond Jon’s explicit novel lyrics and exuberant vocal performance, the musical accompaniment is bright, playful, and striking.  The @$$ is potent 🤭!
