Growing up I had a lot of really negative energy in my life from people that were in my life, so I know to how to stand up for myself.

I hate running. I know I'm curvier - I know I'm small, but I'm not ripped. But I make a choice to be that way. I realize my arms aren't as toned as Halle Berry's but I don't want them to be.

Nerd. Geek. Used to be if you self-identified that way, you'd get thrown into a locker and never have sex. Or worse, whatever that is.

I know a lot of people have a hard time talking dirty - they dont know what to say, how to start, or when to end it. Also, at first they will think they sound ridiculous. And they might.

Because if you wait too long to introduce the concept, your Special Lady Friend will be a little thrown and might not take you seriously.
