I don't know Amy Winehouse. I know what I heard: she was a woman with an extraordinary talent the likes of which we rarely see. I've read a lot of the things about her that many others here have read and I don't know how much, if any, of it is true. I can see from her photos and from accounts of her behaviour that she was a deeply troubled woman. I'm sure that, as an addict, she was battling demons that I can't even imagine and that she was contending with them by herself. She made the choices it takes to become addicted; I'm pretty sure about that because that's how it is with most people. What drove her to consider such choices to be reasonable, appropriate or inevitable I don't know. I doubt that many people do. What I am sure of is that no one is ever prepared for the meteoric rise from nobody to mega-star that Amy Winehouse and some others have experienced. I'm also sure that few people realize how someone's fame affects others in their lives--how fame can distort their relationships and create malignant dependencies in their friends and family members. Those very things can feed an addiction like kindling feeds a fire. Addiction always involves many people other than the addict. Some celebrities' family and friends actively encourage the star's addictions because they can profit from the manipulation and control they can exert over the addict. This kind of fame is a hideous toxin. It took everyone in the so-called "27 club." It took Michael Jackson and many others, too. I'm very sorry that Amy Winehouse has died today, whether by accident or by her own hand. I'm sorry that the demons in her head were too much for her to overcome. I'm sorry if she was unable to get true help or if she was surrounded by people who had complex needs and hopes of their own and who could not be good for her, or with her. I'm sorry that we have lost that amazing voice, that staggering talent. I am just as sorry for the families and friends of the people who were murdered in Norway today. I don't know any of them, of course, and I can't really imagine what they must be going through other than that it probably seems like a nightmare that doesn't stop in the clear light of day. I wish I could do something for the victims' families. If there is something that can be done, I will try because I have no tolerance for the slaughter of innocent people. I am also sorry for the family and friends of the man who killed all these people in Norway. A lonelier, more desperate and lost group of people is hard to imagine tonight. I hope that, in time, they may find some kind of peace and understanding, that they may find ways to make sense of what this man has done and that they may not be unjustly tormented by ignorant outsiders who may try to hold them responsible in some way for this man's choices. I have to say that I am sorry for the man who committed these monstrous acts. The demons besetting him have won today. That is a genuine tragedy. Whether he or any of us will ever understand what drove him to do what he did, I don't know, nor do I know if understanding would help any of us become more compassionate people, such that no one we know will ever be in danger of being so dangerous to anyone else. Finally, I want to say that we do not live in a world of competing sorrows. Experiences of pain and loss are individual: there is no hierarchy or scale of values. The grief one person carries gracefully might easily be impossible for another to shoulder. In the end, pain is pain, grief is grief, loss is loss. All are real.

first of all i believe it is an insult to people everywhere to mention the tragedy of norway in the same thread as this junkie loser . second of all i know a lot of you bleeding hearts will be upset with my logic but i feel compelled to share it . alcohol/drugs is not an addiction , it is a choice . a choice brought on by weakness . people too weak to face their problems , people too weak to confront themselves . lets face it , people turn to alcohol/drugs to forget , to ease their pain , where ever that pain may come from . this is why they continuely chase their original high , they build a tolerance and it gets harder and harder to forget , so they just keep going deeper . which is their CHOICE . they choose to have another drink , they choose to have another toke , snort , hit . this is why it is not a disease . name all the people you know , you ever heard of that choose to get cancer , choose to get dementia , choose to get als . make all the arguments you want about smoking and cancer , but that goes back to choice . ms. winehouse knows nothing about respect . she had no respect for her talent , no respect for the people that cared for her who tried in vain to get her help , and above all she had no respect for herself . she said herself in a song , " they want me to go to rehab , i said no no no " . it pisses me off that all this money is being spent to try and help people that dont want it . they go to rehab as a break , but with no intention of getting healthy . those that want help will seek it out . lets spend the money on the people that dont want to be dying but unfortunately for them and their loved ones they are , lets ease their pain . users that truly want to be clean will want to go to rehab , yes thats right , another CHOICE !

July 23 1901 - October 14 1996 Today would have been my grandfather's 110th birthday. He made it 95 wonderful years, and I can honestly say that barely a day goes by that I don't think of the man. There are people that make you a better person just because they are or in this case, were, in your life. The man was special. There was a warmth to his character, a genuine charisma that drew people. If you knew him, you loved him. He had that small town charm - the kind of charm that made you want to stop and say hello, maybe exchange a few stories. All of his life and wherever he went, people wanted to know my grandpa. He wasn't a particularly physically affectionate, he wasn't all huggy or kissy - but you could tell by the look in his eyes that he cared deeply for the people in his life. He wasn't rich. He wasn't particularly handsome nor did he hold any position of power in his community. He was just "Bill." He understood what it meant to be a man and what it meant to be human. He saw alcoholism and spousal abuse in his family; he took steps to protect the ones he loved from both. He understood that both his son and his daughter would need an education and he made provisions to make sure that both of them would succeed. He loved his wife, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and never have any of us doubted the depth of his feelings. It was truly reciprocal. That man has left a legacy of character to each and every person whom he met. If I could be even 1/10th the man he was, I would feel that as an accomplishment. So here's to Bill, my grandpa and my personal mentor. I miss you. I love you. I think of you every day. Is there/was there someone in your life that made that profound difference?

This is ridiculous! While I deeply empathize with the lives lost in Norway and I in no way condone what happened, I don't think we should let our anger towards the mainstream media about covering the Amy story more than the Norway story justify our awful feelings about people with mental health issues and addictions. There is something to be said about your comments above: how she was at fault for her own demise. Yes, while there is some choice involved in terms of recovery and getting your life in order, not just anyone contemplates suicide. There has to be some serious shit going on for someone to actually go through with taking away their own lives especially when they've been suffering as harshly as Amy was from her addiction. There should be no hierarchy of who's life was more important and which sentiments will be stronger. Murder and suicide are both awful and neither are the fault of the victims. It seems like as a society we will just take every opportunity to blame and further stigmatize people with mental health issues and addictions. We really need to be critical of how we think about people we place in these categories and how are words resemble how we truly feel about the worth of their lives!

Was out dancing lastweekend with another out of town SP. Having a really great time, feeling like just 2 normal, average girls out for the night. Then this guy comes to talk to us outside the bar. Very handsome, large biceps, well dresser. At first we were sort of week in the knee's by his good looks. For me, even though he was nice to look at, I am not in the habit of picking up or being picked up in bars. I just do not need yet another date, lol! My freind with me was feeling the same way. So we politly declined his offer, couldnt seem to figure out which one he was trying to pick up anyways. But he kept on saying" so...ladies what's up?"......:so...ladies what"s up?" Finally getting slightly irritated by the same question over and over again, I said nothing is going on, I am heading home, and so is she. Then out of now where, he says, "hey I know you 2 girls, you are from Kerb( trying to proununce cerb)" "kerb?" I say, "I dont know where kerb is, but I am from Moncton" Pretending to not know WTF he was talikng about. Again he says it" ya...your from Kerb" Again acting dumbfounded I answer " I am from NB, I dont where the hell kerb is!" So she and I were going to grab a cab where they all are staioned, but I was a bit werided out by all of that, so we took an alternate route just in case he would attempt to fallow us home. Now I am not normally easliy spooked but when you got a bunch of young guy's drinking and one gets "shoot down" you really don't know how it can end. I hope that this person will read this, and understand that it is NEVER OK to approach us in that way!! We are in a vaunerable postion in our work, and do not need to feel vaunerable when we go out for a good time! If i had met this guy in the past, perhaps I would have felt better about it. But I never met him. Also had I met him before, I would be upset that he would "out" me when I am in company of freinds. I assume he may be new to this, perhaps do not know the protocol of seeing an SP in public, so here it is.....NEVER APPROCH TO SP IN PUBLIC!!!! Additional Comments: Thanks megforfun.....It was quick thinking for sure, lol!

I'm a little disturbed by how quickly a number of you are happily writing off Amy Winehouse because "she was a junkie." You sound an awful lot like the same people who didn't do fuck all when Robert Pickton was murdering my sisters because, oh, well, they're just crackwhores. People are people and you have no idea what brought them to the point where they thought drugs were a solution. Who are you to judge them? I went to rehab myself, and I can tell you from experience, that every single one of the people in there had underlying mental health issues and didn't know how to cope with said issues and thus did drugs to try to cope. And they were men and women just like you or I, with families, with feelings and with hopes and dreams. Reading some of the responses in this thread today made me a little sad to have to associate myself with you.

Oh Geeze! I feel so bad, what a perfectly good night gone creepy bad! In a situation when guys are being jerks..I have a tendency to raise my voice and demand my way over due child support and how he left me standing at the alter to be with his true love "Mike" and just cause they didn't work out doesn't make it any easier for me and our child we share together that never sees Daddy or get's child support from cause he's too busy buying his boyfriend new loafers... They leave before I finish my sentence. *Compliments to my acting career"

I have never seen two girls, one cup, and I can guarantee I've seen grosser. I'm not sure I get why some people are giving the OP shit (haha) for posting. It's not like she was posting the link and telling everyone it was some hilarious funny video. She was just venting about how grossed out she was. People post lots of non-hobby related material. I'm so sorry some of your delicate sensibilities are offended!

She was a junkie. I really wish people would pay more attention to the real tragedy in norway than the death of a drugged-out celebrity. Posted via Mobile Device

Ok guys my experience is a tad different. I am actually very happily married. Now, I know a lot of you are raising your eyebrows but bear with me and please don't hate me because I am living the dream. I originally hobbied to get back at an ex wife who had slept around on me but then I met a wonderful woman and remarried and we have a very fulfilling sex life. I revealed to her about my hobbying in the past and she was actually turned on by it and would have me relate the stories of my encounters during our "private" time. :lovers: This led then to me suggesting that I have the odd dalliance now and then with her full knowledge and permission. Holy crap...she agreed and got excited at the prospect. Now, I only hobby very rarely mainly because she is more concerned about me blowing too much cash as opposed to blowing too much wad (lol :icon_lol:). However, when I do for me it is all about the fulfillment of fantasy. I get to experience something that only takes place in our imaginations which we discuss before the act. I also enjoy that when I see an SP, my pleasure is her job and I love how they take care of me and make me feel good without me having to work at seduction. I am there for one thing and everyone involves knows it. I am friendly and very polite to the girls but I am not looking to replace a relationship so I try not to forge any emotional ties and try to remain as professional as possible. Not to say I do not make friends but I try to keep things as real as possible. Then I relate the experience to my wife and it has really spiced things up with us in the bedroom:thedeed:. As I said...please don't hate me because I know I am one lucky son of a b*tch.:icon_lol:

yes lil lady life has peaks and pitfalls , but it how you/we choose to handle those peaks and pitfalls that make us who we are . it is easy for you to say i sound young because everyone wants an excuse . i grew up surrounded by stereotypical natives . i , fortunately , did not fall into that cycle . it had alot to do with my parents , going to school everyday and as i aged seeing cousin after cousin [ that were the people i was closest too , outside of my immediate family ] end up dead in the street over dumb ass native gang bullshit ! so yes , i saw the druggie losers up close , thats why i am able to describe it as so , because that is exactly what they were . i am now 40 years old , i made a choice , a choice anyone is welcome to make when confronted with a decision . the thing i have learned is , no one wants to admit there is a problem , but as long as they are involved [ in any capacity ] , they are part of the problem . my nephew is now in your neck of the woods dealing with his issues , been clean for 7 months . he is now waiting for a spot in culinary class to open up so he can attend . he is 22 years old and he , like me , knows he cant be around the rest of the family outside of his grandparents , my folks . no one has to like it , no one has to agree with it , but i earned the right to my opion . all the best lil lady .

I am forever coming home from hotels with shampoo, conditioner and lotions. Well a girl like me has plenty of these already. So I began to collect them, and near Christmas time I donate the whole bag to women's shelter! I would encourage all of you to do the same:) These women who are so much in need of some TLC that such a small thing like a bottle of lotion can lift spirits! Something so small but means the world to another whom is in a a fragile state. Happy collecting:)

Perhaps just a personal preference, the same type of preference that draws some guys to blondes as opposed to red heads.

You have been justifiably dissected enough that I don't think anyone needs to add to it further, so I won't. But you need to ask yourself, do you think that publically trampling on her memory and her dignity, no matter what you thought of her as a person or an artist, was a decent thing to do? The mistake many of us have made (myself included) was in trying to compare the loss of Miss Whinehouse and the mass murder of those in Norway, only because they both captured the world's attention and they happened so close together. And the simple fact of the matter is that a murderous gunman's act of evil does not reduce the loss of Amy Whinehouse any more than her death should reduce the enormity of what happened in Norway. There is no way to reconcile or compare these two events, period. Perhaps there are lessons that can be learned and definitely grief to be suffered, but the best the living can do now is light a solemn candle in memory of all the lives lost.

Some of my favorites: Come to think of it I think I have a shoe fetish.:icon_confused:

I forgot the most important part in my previous post. The anticipation leading up to the act! Plus it just helps my days go by knowing what is in store for me. Having a bad day at work? No problem, I will soon be having sex with a gorgeous woman. Getting bored standing in line at the bank? No problem...I will soon be having sex with a beautiful woman. Stuck in traffic? No problem, I will soon be looking at a sexy lady and her naked body. Irritated by a customer or a client? No problem, I can block them out with visions on what I plan to do at my next encounter. See a pretty girl walk by who doesn't even glance my way? No problem because someone even prettier will soon be rocking my world. Anticipation...that heady rush I get when I step up to the door. The excitement build up that makes your body tingle and your knees weak. It is all a complete package. There are some great ladies in this business and so far I have met only the great ones! I have enjoyed my time with each and every one and I hope to meet many more!

How shitty....most individuals should know better than to approach you and/or call you out like that...however, I can honestly say from a couple of past experiences..not all do, which you have also unfortunately been exposed to as well. However, these things are likely to happen a little more often when you show your gorgeous face in your pics, please note: I am not saying that this is right, or deserved, because it soooo was not....I am just a little surprised :icon_surprised: when ladies who show their face in pics are so shocked when they are recognized and/or approached...especially within this type of business. By no means am I suggesting that you should not show your face in your pics and/or is deserved. That is not what I am suggesting at all.:) Yes there are many smart, classy & respectful guys who know better...but when it comes to this profession, there are so maaaaaany lurkers and/or losers who get off on insulting or embarrassing sp's. (both male & female) Again, I am not saying it's right, it's wrong...but only in a perfect world can you expose yourself as a sp and never run into these types of situations. Buddy acted like a loser...and you handled the situation well. You stayed calm, cool and collected.:bigclap:

I would say it's my solid 24 pack ab's and the anti slip knob on my dick. :icon_lol:

Thanks guys! Sometimes I think entirely too literally.

I was the same with my grandpa. He would give anyone (even a stranger) the shirt off his back if he felt they needed it. He was my mentor and inspiration in my life. He has taught me that true happiness comes from within, and that the only way to be truly happy with ones self is to help others. That is why I am a huge volunteer in my community. When ever people ask me why I do what I do for others I tell them because making others happy really does make me happy, there is not a day that goes by I don't think about my grandpa! So I second your "here's to ALL grandpa's, and others that inspire us to be the best we can be"

I believe that equating the level of shock to the death of a performer and the loss of lives in other tragic events somehow just doesn't make sense. Each event is what it is - I hope not to appear insensitive to the unfolding tragic events in Norway and Somalia. These deserve their own recognition in their own threads. To do otherwise diminishes the intent of the OP for this thread. What do you think?

Comparing how someone dies is like comparing apples to oranges but nonetheless she was a human being and deserves some respect regardless of if she took her own life through drugs or any other way. What if someone here from cerb took their own life god forbid or an SP was murdered? Would we say "Oh well she was just a whore or he was just another trick so it doesn't really matter." Maybe some people would feel that way but if you knew them personally or knew of them from this site you would feel some sort of impact. Imagine how her family feels. Lets remember that she was someone's daughter. Yes, it could be debated that she had the world at her fingertips and that she brought this on herself and in the end her addiction won. It doesn't matter if she was leading a rock star lifestyle. No one deserves to die whether it is through drugs, a natural disaster or at the hands of a mad man. IMO, the way someone dies or its significance bears no relevance in my mind because death to me is a tragic thing overall. It is sad when anyone dies and they should be given the respect and dignity that they deserve whether it Amy Winehouse or those 92 people in Norway.

I was actually talking about the movie "The Crying Game" the other day with one of my employees and she's never seen it. After telling her a bit about she has to see it now.

Actually this is place where we come to discuss , share and communicate about the hobby, in my opinion this video has nothing to do with the hobby and has no place here. I could even understand posting it if it was "new" but this clip is quite old, what's next are you going to post the the plot twist to the movie "the crying game" LOL :) Without trying to sound judgmental i see no reason for this clip to be discuses here it's only purpose is for shock value.And if the stories about the featured players is true it just ads to shock value. Again I apologize if I'm coming off sounding judgmental , I'm a pretty open minded guy but I don't think we need that clip or discussion about it here. Just my 2 cents

While I have sympathy for Miss Winehouse's friends and especially her family (who went to great lengths to get her the help she needed), the reason my heart breaks at the tragedy of the murders in Norway is because, as has been mentioned before, so many of them were children. The children murdered on Utoeya island were gunned down by an evil man while many ran for their lives, terrified and wishing for their parents during their last, frightened moments. All the dead in Norway lost their lives to a monster wearing human clothing; Amy Winehouse lost her life to the demon she created but couldn't control. Hopefully Amy's death may sway somehone in the future to reconsider a bad decision that could lead to their own self destruction, but there is no possible way to balance the scales in Norway. There is no way to punish the crime or learn as a result. Make no mistake, no one should be happy Miss Winehouse died and we should all mourn the loss of a promising life, but myself, I cannot help but feel deeper loss, deeper anger and rage, at the mostly young lives taken so ruthlessly in Norway.

I enjoyed a lovely meal at le garde manager some months ago, with one of our lovely cerb members, but that is another story. It is a relatively small place, they do not have a website and reservations can be difficult at times. I would book early if you plan to visit there. There are a number of great places to stay in Old Montreal. The Auberge du Vieux Port and their lofts are quite nice and very different than the big hotels. The lofts are located above three of the restaurants in Old Montreal and room service is provided by the restaurant below. http://www.aubergeduvieuxport.com/

Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Michael Hutchence, Ian Curtis, Jim Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Stuart Adamson, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Wendy O. Williams, Michael Jackson... just a few names of musicians that have had a hand in their own demise. Some will be remembered for their impact on the world of music, some will be remembered briefly for the impact of their lives and forgotten. Amy was a talented individual who let her demons get the best of her, and in the end they won. My heart however does not go to someone who had everything and was a victim of their own success. As Cleo said, those lives lost in Norway over the past 24 hours or so have had and will have a more profound impact on all of us. The 92 Norwegians, for the most part, were anonymous to us, as we were to them. They conducted their lives away from the spotlight, loving people we will never know, working at jobs as anonymous as they were, living in neighborhoods that we will never see. Those 92 people were more like us than Amy Winehouse. They lived normal, vanilla but no less valuable lives than Ms. Winehouse. We were the same as them. Where Amy took her own life of her own will, these lives were ended short of the achievement of their dreams. Who knows what any one of those 92 could have achieved? If there was a hierarchy in terms of depth of emotion, the grief for these 92 is far more profound.

I read a few years ago when it just came onto the internet, that the 2 girls in the video did it for cocaine. Sad to be that addicted!

The people in Norway are to (most of) us without faces and without histories. It's not fair or right, but we feel more emotion when there is a face and life story to the tragedy. We are only human. Addiction and mental illness are a horrible evil, just like terrorism. I don't believe they are hierarchical.

Thank you to RG and Jafo for cluing me in. I did google the "two cups" then I looked at the video for about 5 secs. Why on earth would such a thread be started on our beloved CERB?

Hmmm, You got me curious? Not sure I understand what you mean?? Can you tell me ? I feel silly for not understanding, lol. Additional Comments: OMG!!!! Just got informed that is soooo gross! I hate to judgmental, but I can only be open to a point! Ewwwwww

Never really thought of it. There are no woman's shelters that I know of where I live (I'm in a small town) but any ladies I see for an outcall are more than welcome to take the soap/shampoo from my room after the encounter, either for a shelter, or for their incall location RG

Now this thread may not be for some of you...but many of you know me well enough you will understand why I am writing this. I have gone through life trying live every day to the fullest. I have lost to many friends and family to really let life pass me by. Now I am not a thrill junkie...but more of a person who wants to explore life in many ways. One of those ways is though sexual exploration.....I love to talk and interact with people...be it on any level...but especially the sexual level. To make something clear....I love sex......be it actually a physical release of cum..or the mental explosion of starts before your eyes....or even a combination of both....I love the feelings and after glow But as I get older I find I am more easily attaining the mental and less often the physical release of the orgasm.......allot of this I blame on my weak mental block of the raincoat....as soon as the antler sees one...the blood goes to the brain...and not as fast to between the legs... Now I have found the little pill that helps......but I tend to avoid it. Ladies...never take offense if a guy cannot cum...sometimes it is the physical closeness and contact that we crave.....sometimes it is a medical issue. Now back to the exploration Now I am not ashamed of masturbation and post...chat...and joke about it all the time. To me it is an incredible release of tension...stress...and daily problems. Now maybe I jerk off too much....who really knows...at least once a day...and sometimes up to God knows how many times. Now that is what led me to massages. Ahhhh...the glorious feeling of a nice pair of hands easing out the tension followed by the release of tension through the penis......being jerked off....I LOVE IT! Mutual masturbation.......be you doing each other or watching each other do it....so damn erotic. I still love it and go for massages.....but my exploration expanded... I got into (literally) ...the encounters with beautiful women...the hobby so to speak. I do not feel there is really any type of female form that I do not love..there is beauty in all...so I explore all ladies. There are some that I wish I could see...some that I have seen a few times....but there are so many it is so difficult to choose and play. I am not the aggressive male who takes charge. I prefer the female direct the action. After all their bodies are so much more complicated to please..and I so want to please them. I love to caress...feel...lick..smell...and admire the female form...delicious!!!! But that does not mean I want to get into S&M....I have tried it some and did not find it pleasing to me to attain any type of mental or physical pleasure. I have had a few 3-sums..and they have been from me being the amazing center of attention to almost being left out..but all taught me something. So I move on...what is there next...well...I have played around in the in-between sex....yup...she male...transgendered....lady boys....whatever the name.....now this is fun. An early experience e was good..but not what I was looking for. Then I met t-girl Nikki...and she turned my mind on first..gave me some of the best mental pleasure in this part of my sexual exploration. She opened my mind and made me feel very safe and sexually open...I will always thank her for that and want to catch up again when our schedules work. But I wanted more...then I met Lucy Bisset..WOW....that was an experience I really never put down on paper..or web. She is all woman..and more of something else. She brought me to sexual heights I never dreamed of....the feel of her in my mouth to her cumming on my face.....wow... This is where I am at now...and part of my next experience on the horizon...... My urges now are more going bisexual...yup..I wrote it....bisexual.......why?...well I have tried so much...I want to try more...not really into the guy on guy alone.....at least not yet in my future...but more into the 3-sum interactions. I have been looking at allot of Tumblr these days...something to fuel my appetite and the porn on MMF bisex is driving me crazy. I want to be in a scenario where myself and another man are pleasing a women...the thought of a woman and a man going done on me..or me going done on them....69 with the woman while the other guy does her doggy...wow...the options for me are endless..... So there you have my exploration to date on a sexual level.....will I post more...will I go further....do I know what is coming next.....only time will tell.... I have exposed a part of myself......I feel scared..but free.....ready to go on...hehehehehehe

I have been involved in MMF threesomes where the M's were interactive. WOW!!! Love it! Antlerman...kuddos to you for being open enough and brave enough to recognize and accept these desires that are sometimes not so accepted. Now, I would like to explore the MTF scenario!

... but you've done a fine job of it nonetheless. :icon_redface: Antlerman, thank you so much for your post. You have no idea how much it means to me to read this, and how honoured I feel to have helped you begin your journey into unknown territory. I do see a lot of first-timers, and when I hear that they've explored even further since our meeting, I'm absolutely overjoyed. I love what I do, and I'm so fortunate to be able to help other people open their minds. Avoiding student debt is a huge plus, and the main reason I started, but since then, I've found that I sometimes have a unique opportunity to educate people about subjects they're afraid to ask about. I'm able to help people look beyond black-and-white labels, and see the shades of grey that makes life so interesting. I'm able to help them realize that categories shouldn't stand in the way of pleasure, and I'm able to help people explore (and ultimately satisfy) their curiosity, and provide a unique experience which they may never have again. Being a sex worker isn't just about sex; sometimes, it's about being a teacher, a student, and a friend. I'm honoured to have played all of those roles for you, and thank you for playing those roles for me as well. :ThankYou: No one person can change the world, but sometimes, it just takes a few minutes to change an opinion, or a belief, or an assumption. If we truly want to make a difference, the best way to do it is by opening each other's minds, one at a time. Reading your post, and knowing how much courage it took you to write this, makes me feel so happy for you, and I congratulate you on having the guts to put this up for us to read. :bigclap: Thank you so much for the kind words, and I wish you all the best in your continued exploration of yourself, and your sexuality. :lovers:
