I suspect you’re giving all of us a handjob. So what does that make you?

Don’t complain! It’s a free hand job, for gooooooooooooooooddddddsssssss Sake!

That was nice. Now down to business. The anal sex. No, wait, the spanking. Which is it again that comes next, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Did I get the line right?

Milton Simmons (His real name) is not know to associate to women, and has no info on anything romantic on his homepage. He also plays on the way he is perceived, and has not refuted it. Since, despite popular belief, it is not ok to assume that a person is straight, unless otherwise noted, I would say it is same to fall for the impression he gives.

Wait, no, I am wrong. :smack: See below.

Let’s just not do this. **wez nilez** , try to elevate the tone of your posts in the future. Rudeness and crudeness are not appreciated, and nobody here but you cares about Mr. Simmons’ sexuality.
