I totally read that as some weird, porn-speak for "sans Mommy" as in French for without mommy... WTF. That's what I get for studying linguistics I guess. I'll be so happy if you tell us it's her! Don't hold back on your readers, it's cruel and unusual punishment. Oh. My. God. I totally read that as some weird, porn-speak for “sans Mommy” as in French for without mommy… WTF.

Christian, is that really your mom? Or maybe your sugar mommy? Either way, if she needs some cash to pad her high bid, just say the word. “xans_mommy” is the high bidder right now.
