How much, generally, do you pay for books, if you get them used?

I usually get them from my library, which has smaller trade paperbacks for $.50 each, larger paperbacks&most hardcovers for $1.00 each, and some special hardcovers for $2.00. It was Buy One Get One for today so everything in the OP image was $2.50

Guys that take it up the butt tend to be size queens. I used to know this girl that loved pegging dudes and she would tell me that how most of the dudes would start sort of small (7 inches and bit with a bit of girth) then they would want these novilty sized dildos. You know the ones that you would see at sex shops and think those are too big for anyone to use.

I don't even want to think more about the grotesque act of inserting objects and dicks, and fingers into the human waste disposal.

Yeah, go get blow by some sloppy bitch who puts dicks in her mouth. I found out a woman I used to have casual sex with was sleeping around a lot and I left that slut. It is one thing to have casual sex with one person, but with a few, all in the same time frame. Disgusting. What kind of glutinous and grotesque creature lives for only pleasure and to receive it so often. Alone the act of to much pleasure is depleting of the pleasure.obtained.

To have to much sex and to much pleasure, is to ruin the pleasure of sex.

The universe is vast and we are small and time is short, one day humanity will return to the loam and the stars will burn out and all matter itself will decay from existence, and everything you have ever done or will ever do will amount to literally nothing. so you may as well try to find what enjoyment you can while you still draw air. for me that means fucking hot chicks in the pooper, maybe that's gross to you but w/e go out and find your own thing to do then

but whatever you do you clearly need to get laid because you're more uptight than a kindergartener's vagina.
