Stagestruck: One-Pitch Wonder

The V-Spot: Can My Clit Learn to Trust Again?
If we can relate a sneeze to an orgasm in the ways they hijack our bodies in an involuntary release, I can’t point to many people who can sneeze on command whilst their partner stares at them in excited anticipation of the big kerchoo and your orgasm isn’t much different.
