I think there is a requirement that the other people have permanent possession of the bedroom, before they do things to the mattress that a lot of other people might object to sleeping in.

As for the blackmail value, let me repeat it like I was five, just to make sure I got it right.
So because some people make a big deal of certain sexual fetishes, keeping those fetishes a secret becomes important, thus making it possible to blackmail people about their fetish, right?

The President-Elect’s continuing lies about his dealings with and within Russia?
