I say no to a double standard that men can roam and women must stay put at home. I say no to the fact that men are allowed to claim their sexuality and women just have to pretend that it doesn't matter to them. It's resisting poor relational arrangements.

Sometimes when people have affairs, they feel like they have been lying to themselves for years.

In any session, evolution takes place. Out of the darkness and formlessness something evolves.
