We need an update on this one, Damien.
This is a great post. I want to do one too.
this is great, I may do this too
Interesting contrast. I would do the same, but I fear that being not much more then a fetus at the time probably makes it redundant.
Mutt - don't make me slap you around you young whipper-snapper you!
Mistress MJ - not much more to tell - a light breeze would get me hard back then - thank G-d I'm ambidextrous and insatiable in that area :)
