- Sure. - You're able to do a

Are you able to do it?

Like, maybe some pillows on the floor,

If you want, I could put the bed spring somewhere and then

just put this and that on the floor.

five, one.

No, so it was already offered to you as a

I legitimately enjoy spending time with him,

I'm just not at all, like, interested in a romantic

"I actually like movies!

dating! I don't know...

You can't just, like, be friendly with someone

They want me" kind thing.

Especially when the premise of our relationship is like,

"Oh, hey, I'm gonna come over to your house.

Can you give me your semen in a cup?"

We both have to do sexual things separately.

The process of conceiving a child is

vulnerable and intimate.

It can be very easy to have confusion about what that
