When you
enter
a club or a mall or a party and you see strangers
that you don’t know, dressed well and talking to people, it is easy to
assume that they know something or have something you do not. These
people operating on that “high profile” aren’t very likely to come up
and talk to you, so it can be a huge shock if and when they do.
A frequently asked question by our readers concerns
resistance. In
the comment sections of my articles, many readers have pointed out that
when they make a sexual move (in the form of
Ah,
threesomes! For many men, having sex with two women at once is
the pinnacle of manliness. Ask any man about his sexual fantasies, and
if he's man enough to admit he has some, you will almost certainly hear
"two chicks at once."
