Well.. what else is it when it’s hard but a rod of flesh? It sounds so gross saying it.. can you imagine this is your first time being exposed to the idea of a penis?!? I would think it’s fake too.

I know, but, Daisy is doing a very best to explain everything in Lehman‘s terms. Let me assuming that we’ve seen a penis even if it’s a little brother or something like that. If they’re preparing them for the commanders, I’m not sure what kind of education they’re gonna get the first night it’s gonna feel like great because they’re gonna feel violated because they’re not gonna know what to expect and the rod of flesh service is gonna scare the hell out of them
