I may be late to the party, but I recently heard about the man's version of Valentines Day, celebrated one month later on march 14th. As the title aptly describes, male adherents to this holiday of holidays receive a steak and a blow job in return for a romantic date on 2/14.
What are your thoughts on this noble holiday? Does anyone celebrate it in their relationship?

If someone is going to dedicate a date on the calendar to giving a guy a blowjob he should at least meet the giver halfway. Pineapple Juice and BJ day would be more on the money.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
lol, while i'm happy to pass on Valentine's Day, i hope my husband doesn't get wind of this idea.
That should be every Saturday night!
FFS don't tell simplyjohn about this.
*grabs diary ... marks 14th March as a very very special day*
The steak had better come with chips!
I don't eat steak unless it's cut up in a stir fry or fajita but I've never been known to turn down a BJ. That said, it really sounds like something some guy who was hard up for female attention came up with and I've never been crazy about it for that reason.
I see no reason for another day just for men.....on Valentine's Day I sent special wishes to the special men in my life, just as they did for me. Valentine's Day is a day of showing others that you care and is not solely intended for women to receive gifts. While none of the men on my list got a steak on Valentine's Day, one of them did in fact get a BJ.
I think my issue with Steak & BJ Day is similar to the issue I have with Valentine's Day. If your partner likes receiving flowers, then surely buying her (or him) flowers on a random day (just because you want to, or just want to make her smile) is better than buying them because you feel obliged to by a gigantic industry that's blown up around one day. Similarly, if your partner likes receiving blowjobs*, then surely giving one now and then (every day or two should suffice), is better than giving one on March 14th because it says on the internet that that's what you should do.
* If you're uncertain if your partner like receiving blowjobs, then see if they match all the elements on the following checklist:
1) Does he have a penis?
2) Does he have a pulse?
My flawed thinking is this sounds sexist or like, you do something for me, I'll do something for you back. Or that this is a "reward" for the flowers/candy/ECT.
I think you should show love and affection to your SO every day.
But this is my flawed thinking and should be taken with a grain of salt.
And who should deliver the steak and BJ, someone from Hooters?
(For the record, Valentine's day is my favorite holiday, Valentine or not.)
And when I give a gift, it is freely given without expectations.
While I think a Steak and a BJ Day is silly and sexist (not that I am against steaks or BJ's), in my experience Valentine's Day is almost strictly for women. Of the men I polled, only one got as much as a card (including me). Whereas, the amount of money spent on candies, flowers, dipped strawberries, etc, is big buisness.
My SO got a very nice gift, a great meal made for her with a delicious dessert, two handmade cards (one for Valentine's Day one for our Anniversary), and I did the cleanup. (I typically cook dinner - admittedly atypical in most houses) She didn't do anything for me (even as much as a card). This is reasonbly common. I am sure others can come up with examples where the male was treated well / equally. But I am sure that is not the majority of experiences of men.
Now, I wouldn't deny that much of modern western life favors men over women. That is wrong and we should fix it. But having holidays that institutionalize sexism the way Valentine's Day is celebrated is equally wrong. So I can understand the sentiment of men wanting some token of reciprocity / affection. Steak and a BJ Day is not the answer. Creating a separate sexist holiday is equally wrong.
March 14th. Oh yes, looking forward to it. The inventor of this day was a genius
OMG... I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up for this. One I have in the freezer... the other I dont.
*notes in diary... next Wednesday will be a super day*
Sounds like a perfect meal to me.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Had a beautiful round-eye steak for dinner...
... waiting....
Don't believe everything that you read.
While we usually spurn overly-commercialized holidays like VD, my guys get bjs more often than I get flowers, so I'd say they were ahead. (was that a pun?)
It seems that we have commercialized Valentines Day and to set a day for favors to be returned seems like another sales job. Couples should celebrate and enjoy special days anytime
I was given roses one VD to try and make up for his indiscretionThey didn't work.
He now knows that Roses have thorns and they hurt like hell when they are wrapped around his ears.
As for a steak and a BJ. --- No way.
