most attractive feature); their arms; their beautiful throats; and even; if what
I’ve heard is true; a portion of their gorgeous legs; as a result; the men of those
cities walk about with great difficulty; embarrassed and in extreme pain;
because; you see; their front sides are always erect and this fact naturally leads
