SHADOW: I think you're wrong in my opinion in the first part but perhaps right in the second. Mail order brides are very liberated as far as sex is concerned. Hell, they have public banyas in all the villages. But I definitely would reserve any graphic conversations until you've known her for a few months and definitely talked to her a bunch of times.

CORP: You're right. All mail order brides react differently. Just go with HER flow. She will broach the subject trust me. With something innocent like, "How would you tuck me in bed?", that sort of thing. But you're wrong if you think that Russian women are reserved in the sexual department. They are more open than the French. That doesn't mean they go around screwing everything in site including the dogs. It means they have no illusions as to what sex between a man and woman or actually a woman and another woman is and that it's a natural part of life. They learn this at a very young age even in the tiny villages. They are very open about the subject once they consider you to be a friend. It's very common to hear mail order brides in Russia discussing sex with each other within the hearing of other people. I was a little unnerved about it at first but quickly got used to it.
You have to understand one very important thing though, Corp. If they are discussing how much they like sex, they don't mean at all how much they like it with many partners. They totally mean with the one they love and trust.

MATT: Ahhh your next missive. MEN. Every one of the mail order brides I've ever met likes her man to take the initiative and make decisions. This may not be true in all cases but it's pretty universal whether it's what restaurant to go to, to LET'S HAVE SEX NOW. They are not submissive by any means, they simply want you to make the decisions. To have a mind of your own. To think for yourself and make the right decisions. Does that make sense?
