And of course they didn't look at this woman's website in order to identify her, even though that's what they said they did, because if they had they would have been exposed to material concerning EROTICA, quite likely with BLURBS and EXCERPTS, and seeing those would make them UNFIT to RAISE their CHILDREN

Hey, Puritans fuck. They just do it without any joy whatsoever.

I was married to one once, I think.
