Ultimate Fantasy 114 Insurance

Let me begin by telling you my ultimate fantasy.

Are you on medication?

My insurance company will deny my bisexuality claims.

Well, I’m not the only one. Several prominent psychologists have come out against same-sex attraction.

I’m so frightened! This is killing me. What can I do?

It is your problem, not theirs. Here are a few suggestions:
Stop masturbating.
Stop saying you want to.
Stop using words like “orientation” and even the feminine “bi” in your sex-positive marketing.
Stop wearing sensible make-up and stop acting like you have any sex drive at all.
Stop eating junk food and drink lots of water.
Stop having casual sex.
Stop wearing tight clothing.
Stop letting your hair grow out.
Stop laughing when you see people in gay porn.
Stop using the word “gay” in your sex-positive marketing.
Stop trying to change the world by becoming president of the American Psychological Association.
Stop being a good mother.
Stop being a good friend.
Stop feeling guilty if your lover doesn’t want to see you anymore.
Stop enjoying yourself.
