Bathe with this one if you wish to inspire lust in a man. It will only work if you have the

opportunity to be close to that man after your bath. However, it will likely backfire if

you break conversational distance before he responds with lust.

ing the day and particularly effective against peer pressure.

Dressed versus Skyclad Rites

I think that if the event is grand, the dress should be grand. If the event is relaxed,

the dress should be relaxed. If everyone involved wants to be skyclad (naked) for the

rite, then so be it. But be aware of the fact that you will probably be making some folk

uncomfortable despite them saying they are not.

However, in the case of a personal Self-Dedication, I think one should go skyclad.

It is how you entered this world, so it seems only right that it should be how you enter
