I’m leaving for France next month and this is the first time I’m going to be on my own for an entire month with no parents, chaperones, or people who will gossip about me to my “nice” churchgoing family.

Oh, Lord.

Look, don’t worry your pretty li’l head about not being turned on at the sight of some guy’s penis. Penises in and of themselves are not all that exciting. What makes a cock interesting or exciting is the person it’s attached to. For all we know, Henry Kissinger’s penis looks like it was carved in Carrara marble by Michelangelo himself (who knew a thing or two about penises), but so what if it does? Henry Kissinger is icky and his penis, whatever it looks like, is unlikely to set a young lady’s heart racing. And while poor Henry once observed that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, Henry’s been out of power for quite some time now, so his penis is no longer being graded on the power curve, which is too bad for Henry.

stimulation above and beyond penetration, as most women do, simply tell the French boy to stimulate you with his fingers while he’s fucking you, or stimulate yourself while he takes care of the screwing.
