| I don think I have ever worn anything with real fur and to be honest I try to steer clear of fake fur too as I tend to be allergic or have texture issues with most "dead" fur or feather. I haven't got a problem with something like leather or sheepskin that's a by product of the meat indust... |

Ignoring ^ debate…
I'd say always ask before doing more than touching, even if it's a "do you want to?" With a kiss or the other person continueing as a yes.
It's what I've always done when given the chance |

| I would genuinely be interested to see crime statistics committed by each minority group, compared to the total number of said group in the UK. However if a certain minority group were statistically more likely to commit certain types of crime, should they be stopped more often if there is suspicion... |

| Before anyone thinks I am being funny dogs are my special interest. I have 4 dogs who live with me and my partner, they are quite used to being leaned on or suprised by their people, we have spent a lot of time acclimatising them to the fact that such actions mean them no harm as dogs are not natura... |

| I have always hated wearing bras as they were so uncomfortable for most of my life. My mum decided I must be the same size as her, but I wasn't so learned to hate wired bras. I have spent most of my life in search of a comfortable bra, from larger shops, bra shops and now I get them special made. Th... |

| We have three hovers, a roomba for hoovering daily, a Henry and a Dyson. We have the Henry to clear up after OH's DIYing, as we did quite a lot of work to our house. It's reasonably loud but I never had a problem with it so long as it's me that's hoovering. The Dyson was our house Hoover pre DIY but... |

| If you had asked me this at school or even a few years ago I would have jumped at the chance, but now I would wonder what it was like to be normal (say if you could swap for a day) but I'm kinda used to being me now so I'm fairly sure I would not swap now |

| Grr I hate that I have to wear a bra, but I run the risk of being knocked out by a loose boob otherwise. I spent ages not wearing them and finally gave in aged about 13 after almost killing myself running when we were playing rounders at school. After that I have had a search for a comfortable, non ... |
