sexuality doesn’t fit in a heteronormative box

If you look at my google drive you will find a collection of photos and videos of my former lovers, many of them women.

You will also find many of the women I dated have nothing in common physically.

My taste in women and men is wide and really transcends physical appearance.

I have dated all races and body types.

I don’t think I have a physical type as much I do a mental type.

When I started having sex with women luckily I had partners who were more sexually experienced.

They had more knowledge on how to please a woman than I did and that excited me.

My first orgasm was with a woman who went down on me for twenty minutes.

I watched the L word and found the relationships sexy and erotic.

I wanted to know what it felt like to be dominant with a woman.

I wanted to be in control.

For a while I dated women who were more sexually aggressive than me.
