        I take offense to you calling me an idiot. That’s not fair. I have extremely good ejaculation control. But I still obviously don’t recommend this to anyone else. It’s a shitty method if you leak a little bit during sexual activity, too, which I never do.

        Do note that we often time sex to low fertility sectors in the menstrual cycle.

        Again. Do not use this method. (But no need to hate on someone it does work well for, wtf.)
