    Don't think any of my Navajo clients would wear a kilt. But have met Navajos of mixed blood who have Scot or Irish ancestors who do or want to.

    And, medically, I think there's something inherently healthy about letting your boy parts have the natural freedom to adjust to the ambient temperatures providing a comfort that would contribute to mental peace.
    20 years "in the business" -- you have my empathy, sympathy and admiration -- especially given the population of clients you serve.

    You are very welcome. I saw some of your pictures on one of the other forum threads -- great look, no shame there (a bunch of deserved pride maybe! )

    There are some who might argue that for the majority of human males, the two are effectively synonymous.
