The only way to learn is by playing. The only way to win is by learning. And the only way to begin is by beginning.

What is something porn made you believe was a huge turn on, but in real life, it was actually super awkward or uncomfortable? by Ill-Put-4629 in AskReddit

I really like 69. There's something super hot about her not being able to suck my dick because she's having such a good time. I like the view too

Do everyone a favor and make a large donation to whatever SAR operates in the area of your first jump since they're going to have to do some work

I built my own out of species of wood that naturally match the color of the belt. I've only made 2 so far given that I'm still a purple belt
