RE: [xl7] Re: Cleaning the Big Knob

2007-05-24 by Chris

Well, 
 
looks like i'm the next one that has to do this.
 
Unfortunately the picture that was mentioned in this thread is not
online anymore, so i wanted to ask if anyone could make one, as i don't
fully grasp this explanation on where to apply the lubricant.
 
best regs
Chris

Thanks.

Now I have most of a can of spray de-gunker left over ...

(Now, back to the group's normal diet of penis enhancement spams. My
group ( http://groups.
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/monohedral_cathedral/>
yahoo.com/group/monohedral_cathedral/ ) seems to
avoid them.)
