How can my dad, my dad of all people, know about rimming?…
““How can my dad, my dad of all people, know about rimming? I’m astounded, I’m mortified, and I’m everything in-between. I have to be imagining this – have sex on the brain – or maybe this is one of those twisted bad dreams you daren’t confess to anyone? I mean, there’s company present so they can’t really be talking about this can they? In fact, I’m certain now I think about it, Dad must have said riding is all the rage in the New Forest. On horses, that is. Oh. Disturbing thoughts again. Vomit.””
