Fwiw, about the zéro expérience thing, I hope you know that plenty of women would enjoy helping their partner explore how to share pleasure and day to day intimacy with them.

Oh dear, the mushrooms in the background!!!! I think I still have that picture somewhere! :D
Also what's up with the overscan? So many questions !
