Two years ago I was…

The Evolution of Seth Ripley The idea for Seth Ripley came to me first. Okay, actually what showed up in my mind’s eye first was a scorching hot blow job scene.

He came to being a fire fighter later in life, inspired to change careers by the events of 9-11. His family didn’t understand, and certainly his (now ex)…
