I'm pretty horrified that "bursting" is used as a descriptive before they actually get to the sex, let alone finish it. Sounds painful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I wonder how he felt about being described as a cashew. "The water's very cold!"
