Women Can Screw, Too

Home Decor You Will Forget To Make

My mom was the first person to ever tell me that women shouldn't limit themselves when it comes to screwing. Even though she and my dad were married, he was an aerospace contractor and spent maybe six months out of the year out of town working jobs in other cities. If she waited around for him to screw, she'd have been waiting for a long time. And sometimes a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. And if that means screwing, then screw it: Women Can Screw, Too. The best thing about my mom, though, is that she made sure I knew how to screw good and proper. She wanted me to know that it Keep Reading >>>
