“Hey, you wanna? [Winks] I’ve been doing lots of Kegels. So I can be like a ninja down there. Not like grab arrows out of the air…” -Elizabeth I didn’t know whether to feel afraid or aroused, but in any case it’s clear some ninja skills are sexier than others. ““ Previous “My Wife […]
Man, everyone is wearing some kind of strap on their wrist these days. We’re counting our steps, calories from the foods we eat and everything else that has a number on it.
