Surprise! My legs are open again! And with good reason lol. Very rarely do we have celibacy conversations about life after sex so let's do it. Cause there's much to delve into including possible regrets, God's thoughts on threesomes and much more. Of course I've got my babe Guerdley (instagram.com/guerdley) with me again! If you like what you hear please do gift the kid with a rating and/or review!  Either way, your ears are appreciated.
