Don’t like normally-functioning vaginas? Then you should be disallowed from fucking them.

now this is something nobody wants to (real) talk about: period sex. I will be the first one to admit that i’m not a fan, but it has more to do with the fact that my uterus generally feels like a fiery pit from hell and the mess factor (showers are an awesome way around… [Read more…]
