Oh please you just have to explain question 9!!!!

Well, all right then, since you asked. *g*

Way back about 25 years ago I took some evening classes on sexuality, became best friends with the teacher, and over time became her apprentice and then co-teacher in some of the classes (pre-orgasmic women's classes on how to have orgasms, women's sexuality for men, men's sexuality for women, couples' communication workshops). So for two or three years I was an apprentice sex educator.

During the same time, my friend and I opened a little "sensuous supplies" store selling vibrators and other sex toys, massage supplies, erotic art, sex information, etc in a woman-friendly, non-pornographic environment -- much like Good Vibrations (http://www.goodvibes.com), whose founder generously mentored us starting up our little business.

It was all a lot of fun... but ultimately the pay sucked, so I ended up getting into computers.

Computer programming pays waaaay better than sex. Which, when you think about it, is just wrong, isn't it? ;-)

First of all - wow that sounds interesting and something I could definitely not have the guts to do - which means probably why I should (he he)!

It's a cruel, cruel world we live in - but if it was like that I guess we would et nothing done *grin*
