If your vibrator is in good working order, masturbate with it. But don’t stop at your first orgasm. Go for a second or third, or keep your vibrator down there after the first eruption. Multiple orgasms will do something beyond making your day. They could also unclog that stuffy nose. Bet you didn’t see [...]
Chiropractic for kids Let’s be real for a second. Kids have rough lives too. We all dream that our kids will grow up in a storybook Lord of the Rings township, where their days are spent running without a care through pastures of flowers and riding ponies in San Diego. Sorry, but I [...]
