Aurianna Joy x Ep. 66

“Play parties are important because they take
sex out of isolation and they say, “Go ahead,
look. This is natural, we do this, and it’s okay
to look at it.” However, there are ways to watch
something because watching is participating,
and you will affect the thing you are watching
by the energy with which you are watching it”
