Look, I Still Have My Gum

Ever tried to chew gum and walk? How about chew gum and have sex? I've found, a few times, that in the midst of the hanky-panky prelude, the gum can be forgotten. Thus, when in the midst of the act, one occasionally realizes..."Look, I still have my gum!" This revelation is difficult. How do you deal? Do you attempt to throw it/spit it/get rid of it somehow? Do you keep it lodged in your gums, hoping her tongue won't find it, hiding out like a fugitive in your mouth? Do you bring it up during sex?

I get images of school girls from stupid porn when I picture someone chewing gum during sex. Smacking their lips with their pig tails bouncing up and down. So to get past that to a place where i'm comfortable with "Do you want to get rid of your gum?" as a question seems difficult. I fear rejection...what if she says no? How does one react to an adamant sex-gum chewer? Thoughts? Comments? Concern for my sanity?
