I think the only topic this edu-pamphlet didn’t cover was Abe Lincoln. Oh, wait. Nevermind.
There’s a similar one made for girls as well. Please publish it
It’s just as funny!
Will do, Hans…
Where do I find a ‘coarse towel’ ?
Great stuff; though it gets rather STD-heavy toward the end!
Abraham Lincoln was probably a homosexual. When Mary Todd Lincoln wasn’t around, Abraham Lincoln had a Secret Service man sleep with him.
Hmmm…. so eat well and exercise… and masturbation is wrong… and horses are sexy… and women are diseased… and you’re going to make the virgin with the chickadees sad… and Abe Lincoln never masturbated.
CHECK.
Coarse towel – a terry cloth towel, no softener in the rinse, line dried, not tumble dried in a dryer.
The “sweet release” orgasm face on the fellow on slide 16 is priceless.
