“Wait, honey — I need you.”
Aw, rats. We don’t get *any* look into what happens *next*?? No *BOOM*-*shikka*-BOOM of the ‘70s porn?
Sorry about the lack of “*BOOM*-*shikka*-BOOM.” But…honestly that was the least sexy music–especially for porn—of all time!
More akin to a bad comedy.
Yeah, you’re right there! Everyone has their own ideas, their own things to make their own sexual organs go BOOM-shikka-BOOM!!

Oh!!! You’re not likely to get good kick-backs from sex toy companies, so drawing sex toys won’t bring you much more in the end.
The kind of lust you read about in ‘Brides in Love’ comic books? Dude! Don’t make any commitments. In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar, “It’s a trap!”
Lust is right in there with “fight or flight” from the deepest part of our animal brain. In my opinion, the best parts of human society, art, music, poetry, literature, are those that attempt to both reign in/redirect, but especially celebrate lust.
“Language was invented for one reason, boys – to woo women…”
I agree, Dave. And–from what I hear–a number of the advances in technology have surfaced first in porn and other aspects of sexual activity.
“…..and have dinner ready!”
Dinner at eight? Sex at nine!
Wait, wait! Is she talking to that guy or the tree she apparently just kissed… and what is a tree of that size doing inside anyway?
