wasnt even on my radar. he said a friend recommended it. the only book ever recommended to him. he researches EVERYTHING. it is a joke in this house. i mean, not peek and then get. major research. he has a kindle. massive research to down load a free book.

he read all kinds of stuff on the book. i was clueless. he came to me and said one big book of porn. garbage. can't believe it is so popular. cant believe it was recommended to him.

he gets tired of hearing it. my kids do. my nieces. and i really really try to limit and only say something when there is a need. but they bring a lot of stuff to me.

but confirming what you say, on this subject that is so conditioned in us, both genders.... all my people get it. i see it in their choices. in the conversation. in what they allow in their lives. in so many ways.

so i agree. there is a reason to speak out.
