Mikee Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm surprised no descriptions of what you find sexually attractive. I'm ready to be titillated! I'll start: smart, feisty, fit, horny, willing and able to cut your balls off if you don't measure up (figuratively speaking of course).Found this on Forbes:"Sadistic EntrepreneurialismSeveral sadomasochists responded to an ad by an Austrian woman [and] were ordered to work on their mistress’s farm, chopping wood and mowing the grass, while wearing fetish gear. When the men realized they were being duped, they quit.—The Week"(For Adam's amusement!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
