@Ja71178

she is fake, pure and simple. a puppet for the aristocracy to suppress the love intrinsic to humankind. she takes what is sacred to humanity and sells it right back so that WE feel inferior

Dr. Queen works to demonize my generation. She is the cause of more pain and suffering than most would care to consider.

I had no idea that Carole Queen ever felt suicidal. I've felt suicidal, too. Like her, I turned to writing. I had no idea Carole Queen ever felt confused about sex. In some ways I feel confused about sex, too. I know what I crave for, what I wish to experience next--the problem is finding somebody to experience that with! I live "out in the sticks", too. She's a sexworker, and a great author and teacher. We're lucky to have her living on the same planet as us. She co-founded Good Vibes

Carol Queen has a massive inferiority issue! She is pathetic. She feels inferior to men just read her silly articles....it's obvious!

The truth is it seems she longs to be bent over so a dick can be shoved up her ass! Actually it seems like it has been done already!
