—At Least It Was Here
Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.”
Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.
Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.
When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

It’s 3am and of course I can’t sleep. I’ve got so much on my mind and I just want to find some peace. I need a trip to somewhere exotic and beautiful. That’s doesn’t mean it has to be an island or some foreign country just something different then the world I’m used to.
hey fellow sugar babies i’ve decided to make a whole new blog just about me and sugaring so i can have a bit of privacy.
Diamond Heels On Sugar Paved Roads: So there's this POT,
And he’s a bit on the younger side (or at least younger then I’m used to). I thought he was really charming and funny when we first met. UNTIL he said hes “never really been into big girls”. Apparently it wasn’t meant to be offensive, but I certainly was.
He’s willing to give me 1k per meeting and a 5k allowance. Shopping and tuition is separate. He’d want to meet at least 2 times a month and works in the same area that I do. IDEAL POT!
The only problem is I don’t know if I can stand spending so much time with someone so superficial. He is SUCH a smartass, and I think he’s kind of racist. Clearly he doesn’t know I’m Hispanic because he’s always making “wet back” jokes.
I don’t know, guys. I need the money, but I’ve always told myself I’d never do something that I felt degraded me.
Help? :(
EWWW fuck this douche. If he is making you feel negative about yourself already it really isn’t worth it. But if you really need the money i say either tell him that his comments make you feel uneasy and see if he is apologetic. Or make him your SD for a bit then find a nice gentlemen and drop his racist ass.
