Hate to interupt, as you and Roach are both making interesting points.... but my very peculiar and weird sense of humor had to say something........
I think a masochist would be more comfortable in that situation.... so seaver to save us all from seeing you prostate yourself..... can you please exclude masochists...... as someone may use that as an example, and things could get messy and just the thought..... yech......
sorry, weird sense of humor rant over.... please resume.
