First of all, “excellent read,” indeed.
I don’t really have anything more to add to her points.
But I wish this woman the best life she can have, and for more to listen to her.
Second.
I’d consider myself a lonely guy.
Is it weird I have zero interest in “roleplaying” calls like this for free? Much less paying a dollar a minute?
Same with guys that spend on OF models.
…Even my inner, depraved self just does not understand the appeal. Like I get roleplaying, I’ve written out/imagined elaborate fantasies, I get the appeal of the submissive angle, but I do not understand why other guys seek this out on such a phone call or text chain. And clearly it’s me misunderstanding something, as these services have an absolutely enormous customer base.
