Why assume all women need be fluffy little coat check girls or eager midnight vixens? Why assume all men need be romantic horse riding poets or muscle bound bad boys?

Something playfully innocent, yet respectful, a touch of gusto and perhaps brushed with drive. Some common ground, some new ground... willingness to break it.
Yes... but just as with most delicate projects, you start with a good set of plans, quality supplies & some skills... you get a masterpiece to last a lifetime.
