    Yes.

    settle down, raise some pigs

    Down at the old pig and apple orchard do the pigs stuff the apple in their mouth and then climb onto the spit? Because that sounds too adorable to cook.

    But pig is also delicious...

    Spoiler-ed for people who don't wanna read about fetishes
    For submissives, its a form of worship for a domme.

    For me the "give money to someone you've never met" thing is weird, but I get it because I have engaged in financial play with a domme before. Its just another way of the domme asserting dominance and the submissive showing he/she is under the domme's power. The fact that this worship costs you financially can make it more intense.

    I'm gonna say financial domination is probably just a reinterpretation of the sugar daddy dynamic, for some. I mean, I have to assume that, like all domination, there's plenty of discussion before and during, so there's probably a budget involved, more or less (I hope!) so I can kinda see that.

    It's kinda like "topping from the bottom" meets sugar daddy, in a way. I guess.

    Sexual preferences are often not easy to understand, hence the wide array of phobias some people have for LGBT people, or the misconceptions that often surround kinky lifestyles and polyamory.

    It should always be our imperative to try and understand as much as we can, however, so as to avoid falling into the pitfalls of fear and hatred borne of ignorance which cause those people to suffer.

    Mental things are a huge part of sexual attraction, and, well, sex in general. The degree to which mental vs. physical stimulation is important varies from person to person, but most people need some combination of the two, and some people need way more on the mental side than physical even. Figuring out that balance for both yourself and your partner(s) is an important aspect of a healthy sexual relationship.

    I do this sort of thing with American dialects all the time, for fun. Indian English, never, because it would be more offensive and other people I know are better at simulating Indian accented English (and I don't mean the stereotypical version of that either) as well as the fact that my sister is dating an Indian man.

    I guess the difference, especially with the UK versions of English like Scottish accented English, is because I feel more agency and affinity surrounding those versions of English because of my Scottish Canadian heritage, even though I don't know nearly as much about the idiosyncrasies of that speech as I'd like. It's playful ribbing on something that I only know of through grandparents and observation from far away.

    Basically, Canadian English is boring and unaccented near as any version of English can be, and I wish it had more flavour if that makes sense.

    Having met many French Canadians, I can say for certainty that them attempting to do any English accent from anywhere would be worth paying money to hear, especially if they are from up north or along the St. Lawrence river.

    Basically, Canadian English is boring and unaccented near as any version of English can be, and I wish it had more flavour if that makes sense.

    hahahahahaha oh god no it ain't.

    edit: if you want to feel exotic just go to australia for a while. We love canadians.

    I'd love to visit Aus someday, especially during this time of the year what with it being basically summer for Christmas as I understand it.

    And the fact that your toilets flush the other direction. Madness.

    Shame about the government though.

    this is a myth, sadly.

    But yes, summer Christmas is the greatest invention ever.

    WHAT?!

    It was great.

    Karl was sitting on beach drinking mojitos. Drunk as a lord.
