Standard

Feelings or rather gut feeling and intuition is something i believe that guides us to be passionate about something to stand up for something.

Erotic Intelligence

I got to watch some interesting videos today

This one on is about looking at desire from a place of selfishness rather than selfless love for the partner in a long term relationship.
