12 Women Reveal How They Feel About Their Partners Watching Porn

1. I consider it cheating and pick partners who do not indulge in porn. My boyfriend knows this boundary and accepts it.

10 People Reveal What They Love About Fishing

what do you love about fishing

1. Fishing is a way of being in symbiosis with nature. Not all the materials are “natural” but I feel while i am fishing, the life around you accepts you as part of that environment.

Your body slows and your mind focuses enough to be aware of all that is happening around you. You get to experience things you can’t plan to happen; an eagle swooping for a fish, a dolphin chasing mullet, sharks free swimming; observing intimate interactions between multiple species. I love it
