It seems to me that an open relationship requires even more communication between the partners than the industry-standard type of relationship. You need to both understand what it means; otherwise it's a surefire recipe for disaster. But if you are both clear on what the rules are that you have agr...

48. kowtow, prostrate self


also I should mention: while I can see that each of these shapes appears in the same eight positions, I personally find the row 25-32 particularly difficult to tell apart from one another
