It's one thing focussing on assumptions and another to lie. They have obviously put some effort into the site but it feels as if their main focus was on design, not to get their numbers right.Unfortunately the same is true for many other awareness sites.But it got your attention anyway. Enough of it to be discussing it now. Nobody even posted in this thread until now. Ten days later. Just sayin'. I think something happened...Anal Fisting or something...

I was just wondering where I can pick up a few of my slaves, I have a lot to get done and am feeling rather lazy today
Jesus died on the cross to show us that BDSM is a legitimate form of love.
There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.
The ones that didn't die from overwork or lack of work (that is, not working)
