Hi Violet, I posted a detailed review of your book, The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus, on my blog http://www.frankbukowski.com/?p=214 Awesome site, keep up the good work. Frank.
Hi Violet, I posted a link to the liberal conspiracy site on your Facebook profile. Have followed your site for several years and think you do a great job. Politicians in the UK would do better to listen your approach to sex education.
Congratulations, Violet! You impress me with the scope, rate and quality of your work.
I must confess to being rather amused that one can be charged with ‘attempted indecent liberties’.
