The fatal, hateful rise of choking during s*x

I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. There's a lot of s*xual touch that's not tender and indeed, can be downright damaging. While women dying from choking during s*x isn't an everyday occurrence, men trying it is. Not a pleasant thing to have happen the first time you have s*x with someone.

The past couple of months, I have gotten to know a lady named Lori-Anne. She wants to dedicate herself to the goddess, and walk away from her life as a male professional. She is walking a difficult path - becoming a woman AND a priestess.

Many treacherous tests await her. She will likely be shunned by her friends and family, and may lose her job. She will be hated, and misunderstood. But she cannot say no to the call of the goddess - her desire to serve Her is strong.

Good luck, Lori-Anne. You're going to need it.
