"Omiya soapland, beautiful women" — some people hear that and know exactly what's up, and some don't.

ElonAfter a circumcision and a pearl implant, I've got real confidence now that I'm "fully prepared." The range of play opened up, sure, but the psychological breathing room is on a whole other level. To anyone agonizing over going under the knife: "Do it — no regrets."
