I have always wondered……what is so embarrassing about women’s private parts?
Am asking because in my entire life and mind you am over 30years, I have never heard that someone has been arrested for insulting the modesty of a man, it is always about being arrested for insulting the modesty of a woman…..what is so special with women’s genitalia?
Does anyone know?
Because life comes to earth through that special thing. Mind you, it is also that special thing men run for.
Where can I buy a pair of cyber stockings?
