By the same token, of course, it also becomes holy. -- J. Mikael Togneri

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me.

Tagged: orgasm, fake, failure, injustice

Women fake orgasm if they really care about the man because they don't want him to feel a sense of failure. I think it's really a kind thing that women do.

Some men aren't good enough to give it to you. -- Annie Flanders
