My friend Monty is old and set in his ways, but that’s no excuse.
For many years now, my friend Monty has been my comrade and confidant, but ever since I started seeing Sweet, a wonderful transsexual woman, Monty’s usefulness in those roles has been on the decline. The more I’ve spoken to him about […]

On the sea they’re euphemistically called intimate or clothing optional cruises and one even boldly named theirs, Swinger’s Cruise. On land they’re called, adult or erotic resorts. A few are for swingers but most of the organized adult resorts cater to men.

Bi-Curious
Have you ever heard the term Bi-Curious? Do you know what it means?
