Are you a sex addict, or merely a dirty slut?
As a “sex addict”, you can obviously get away with a lot more than some girl who is merely a slutty slut, and enhance your fame and reputation as a wild playboy at the same time.

This morning I am preemptively addressing SAD
It’s one of those gorgeous brisk sunny winter mornings in Sydney, so I am working at the beach. My iPhone tells me that the temperature is 14 degrees Celsius, and it feels like it in the wind, but I am up in one of the picnic shelters facing the sun and out of the wind, so I might soon haveto take my fleecy off. Apologies for dodgy webcam shot.
