A bit salacious, but true in every detail.

It was a bit salacious, yes, but not unduly so. It was better for having the kiss.

Just damn, that was powerful. I was nearly in tears at the end. We've had some parallel experiences. Sometimes having yourself confirmed as not garbage for a minute or two is all you need. I'm grateful that beauty was there to save you.

Such a powerful story in so few words. Bravo.

The two platonic kisses I've received from women I've unromantically loved and respected have been the most memorable (until I met my second wife, that is). There's something magical about them.

Great story. Thanks for sharing!

It reminds me of Jordan Peterson's thoughts on young men. He's amazed at how little encouragement they need to set them on the right track. And he's appalled at how many don't get it.
