Hey Melrabo! If you've seen my name around the site, you may have read that I teach English to people trying to go to university, or for business purposes. Anyway, today my class was supposed to turn in some short, narrative essays. Frankly, this is better than most of the essays I received, both in terms of language and also in the depth of the narrative.

It's pretty interesting to me to get perspective on issues like gender identity, particularly through the lens of other cultures and professions. I think that to some degree gender stereotypes cause confusion universally. The more I learn about what goes on behind the scenes in porn, the more stressful it seems. On the other hand, it makes me feel less weird for putting personal relationships on hold for a little bit while I figure out some shit.

Cheers for the write-up.

Nah, it's not as stressing as it seems in this text, I just focused in those aspects because it's one of the things usually not mentioned. You read about girls' experiences, mostly, for good and bad.

There was a lot of fun, many other times, and many many of the guys wanted to repeat (even after the viagra and the post-orgasm shame).
