Do you think that's what we're looking for? Daily stroking? Self indulgence?

I don't want mine to be my best friend at all. Paid or not. I get my best friend needs met elsewhere.
I think at this point, I'll just say that I understand that you don't understand. My therapist says that to me all the time. With a little smile that drives me nuts. So I won't smile.
