I’m reposting this from another site, New Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans which is an excellent resource to research spiritual predators, post reports on identified predators and ask questions if [...]

I thought about just calling it my V monologue, but that seems so non-descript. I also thought about calling it my pussy monologue, since that is actually my [...]

Price of Pleasure: Porn, Sexuality and Relationships
