A Cautionary Story
I started watching porn at the age of 11. It was vanilla stuff mainly consisting of images and gifs of naked women. I then started watching lesbian porn and then moved to straight porn. I would regularly watch porn more than once a day and I’m sure that all of you can relate to searching for videos more taboo in order to fulfill your desires.
What Was Life Like For a Jester In The Medieval Era?
(art: Stańczyk by Jan Matejko)
