Why are you comparing sex to murder? They are not on the same level at all.

What even was that persons comparison. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes. How are sex and murder even slightly related? I'm sure if I was 14 again I'd say something like "they give and take life, they are two sides of the same coin" or something like that that totally misses the fucking point.

^(I'm replying to you because last time replied to one of these people directly I was botted for like a week. )

Nah just chill it's the internet, people suck sometimes and haven't lived long enough to understand that this has happened before and it will happen again, if you play your cards the same, because this too will pass.

Thanks! You're right.
