LL#07: When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Soft With Pleasure (to get going again)

By Rasa Estee - 27 October 2023 --- I know from experience that this approach works for me for over a decade, but I still forget. You see, while it's been the more effective approach for me, contrary to expectations, the path of soften...

LL#06: That's What She Said (While Blushing And All)

By Rasa Estee - 02 September 2023 --- I imagine that'd be what my former intimate partners often say if/when telling stories about our interactions. If you're wondering what, why, and how, I even managed to say what I said with my tend...
