Hello
i am in searching for a dominant woman, can you help me plz

---------------

I am compelled to launch into a grammar lesson, but I will push myself to leave that aside.

Dear Sir,

I cannot understand what has convinced you that accessing our site and sending a request (at 1:46 AM, may I add) for a “dominant woman” would inspire us to instantly hand-pick a “dominant woman” and mail her to you, delicately wrapped in a pretty ribbon.

To begin with, our site is targeted at empowering LBTQ women and trying to break the common stereotypes about us. If you had looked through the site long enough, you might have noticed that. Next, had you in fact noticed that, you would have realised that we are not “pimps” who have a long line of girls with different qualifications standing by at the ready until somebody orders them.

It is important that people note that lesbianism is not a concept merely created for pornographic purposes to entertain men. Sorry to burst your bubble, (well, I’m not that sorry) but the image of lesbians that porn gives is completely fake – be it concerning the “way” that lesbians have sex, or the fact that they are always more than willing to jump into a threesome with a man (or an inflated pillow or whatever else the highly “imaginative” director chooses). Thus, we will not be able to help you in your search if in fact “dominant” meant lesbian.

Next, if you want to justify your request by asking for a bisexual woman, well, you just might have luck with that, but I would suggest you either get out and meet people, or search for listings on a dating site instead of sitting there futilely rummaging for erotica or escorts on a site with mainly educational and awareness purposes.

To send your (hopefully more interesting) letters to the editor, please email editor@bekhsoos.com and we'll feature your letter & response in the next issue.
