Curt James likes to eat poop. He eluded to as much in a post on an
old forum on IAM about golden showers, something about asking if
anyone would mind a post about poop. When his post was quoted here
he deleted it a little too quickly and wigged out.
I just thought id add that in there. There's of course nothing wrong
with the enjoyment of eating poop, and if I were Curt, I'd get some
help about my internal struggle about my sexuality.
