She should have given up being a dominatrix/taskmaster decades ago!<br /><br />So if someone decides to 'go' with such an ancient taskmaster, it's probably not pure lust or attraction. No, it's not an emotional decision at all - it's a DELIBERATE choice to go with a taskmaster like this, instead of someone more ... uhm ... desireable :-)<br /><br />Anna, does that help? I've given a longer answer here to help you visualise, but of course when I picture it, it happens in the briefest of moments.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197148648944758867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-5106680300138493192013-08-30T15:16:47.649+08:002013-08-30T15:16:47.649+08:00Hi Greg, can you please share your story for "...Hi Greg, can you please share your story for "deliberate"?Anna Zelenskayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977909839513587827noreply@blogger.com
