you could think of it in blushing color. Really its no wonder the sale of that junk falls off after awhile. Fun's fun, but too much is also too much and that's what its coming to. But it is in the long run a good thing for just that reason because it will gradually reduce sex to what it should always have been, a very satisfactory experience to be enjoyed freely and happily as the spirit moves one.
