I’m a girl, almost 14 and I get excited by hentai and bondage.  
And I blush at every handsome guy that passes by me.  
Tell me what you think is normal for a 14 year old. =3

Hmm, going by your first post, I thought your age was over 50.

…Also a dude.  
Now… guess what’s not normal for a 50 year old dude to post on a message board… just guess.

Are you a 14 year old girl pretending to be a middle-aged man on the internet?

Let’s say you are a 14 year old girl. Normal is a tough standard to apply. From before I was 14 years old up to my current geezerhood nothing much a 14 year old girl would do surprises me. Liking hentai and bondage and blushing in the presence of attractive men isn’t all that unusual I think. But I’m not a good source for that, I’ve never been a 14 year old girl or even pretended to be one.

Why don’t you tell us more about yourself? We get a lot of people pretending to be something they are not.

How much time do you spend on the internet pretending to be a 14 year old girl with a sexual fetish and what do you get out of it?

Be more specific, name some songs. Ever read a book (I ask honestly not knowing what 14 year olds do anymore)? I know it’s harder when you’re young, but people have opinions on subjects that define them, so tell us what you think about those subjects. Do you like Taylor Swift? What do you think of her? I’m an old guy not well up on popular culture so I really don’t know what to ask you. But if you aren’t pretending others would be able to tell whether or not you sound like a 14 year old girl. Otherwise you’ll keep getting responses from the people who think you’re just baiting us.
