desire

I don't go on dates, unless they're in the bedroom. I've been more ghosted in one year than in my entire life here.

I don't put any emphasis on meet me here, buy me dinner. If we hit it off, let's bang.

He told me I'm a mechanical robot who can't connect with him emotionally. I don't have a second best lover, I have a one best.

embodiment

I know I'm fat. I wanna be toned skinny not flabby skinny. Some days I'm like I can get any guy I want.

intimacy

I tell her I'm coming to see you not your pussy. She said nobody went down on her before. Aren't there any gentlemen left?
SLMN-RC-012
For some reason I haven't used condoms with her. I never do that. I don't know what went through my mind. Am I crazy?
