...bisexual Hot Babe Asia Agcaoili's latest line of erotic toys,...
I have a huge LGBT audience, and I'm bisexual – but when you see me, if I don't tell you I'm bisexual, I don't have the physical representation of the LGBT (community).
Occasionally Baburi came to me, but I was so bashful that I could not look him in the face, much less converse freely with him. [...] One day, during this time of infatuation, a group was accompanying me down a lane, and all at once I found myself face-to-face with the boy. I was so ashamed I almost went to pieces. [...] These lines by Muhammad Salih came to my mind: "I am embarrassed every time I see my beloved. My companions are looking at me, but my gaze is elsewhere"
I feel like I also represent the LGBTQ+ community because I'm bisexual.
