Sorry Jen. I thought it was a misspelling of Merlin or some more literary reference.

As I said earlier - trust an aussie :)

Is that what's at issue?

(I still regret the day I google that)

So a Merkin is for shy nudists?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I think all of us have been guilty of that. It's just inside us, we want to believe it's something innocent. And then reality comes crashing in upon us. It's scary, but once you've made it through, if you ever return to this site again and take advice from Damian, well, it just goes to show ya that you can consciously choose to repress memories in order to move forward in life.

"So a Merkin is for shy nudists?"

Are there any blind, shy, nudists?
