Many of its adherents also do so.

Seems they are quite an acceptable way of dealing with food cravings.<br /><br />Sara - Not erotic for me either.<br /><br />Lea - Hmmm, should I watch the movie or not? I must give that some thought.<br /><br />Prefectdt - That is such an ick factor. At least he could have washed off the flogger. I omitted some of the blood references.<br /><br />Daisy - I still haven't read it, but did see more flogging references as I leafed through. Other than the floggins, the book seemed convoluted and hard to follow.<br /><br />Kiwigirliegirl - I think I would find it a bit too much as well. Thanks for the warning.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />HermioneHermionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395671806340391253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-46544475241114103182011-07-04T21:47:08.612-04:002011-07-04T21:47:08.612-04:00yes, i have read the book and watched the movie - ...yes, i have read the book and watched the movie - i remember the scene.
