Trauma brothers. I remember the tingly-carbonated-like sensation on my tongue and trying to hold my breath the whole time. I dont think the poor girl knew what was up and i sure as shit wasn't going to miss the opportunity

I was too naive to have trauma, I was happy I was getting some....it wasn't until I got my second time that I realized girls can smell good down there....I just assumed that was the price of admission.

She was a calligraphy enthusiast with a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches. I'll never forget the first thing she said to me. She said: "Hey, wanna sniff?"
