I don't need to present my credentials in terms of fulfilling my own sexual fantasies, nor do you need to believe that I had to create a group on FetLife so that the porn I made with my ex actually had a home. It's generally not a great idea to tell an editor that he needs to learn how to consult dictionaries, and I hope you don't extend such pleasantries to other members of the Beehaw community. Context is king. We're talking about literary genres, and you want to talk sex. I fully approve! This said, get off your high horse.

Now you're telling me what's a good idea to tell someone in a profession when there was no prior mention of that fact for me to have known it. Methinks there's a good bit of projection, ego-boosting, and other similar subconsciously-driven "high horse" activities happening on your part, but I'm too tired to bother dragging out Lucy's psychiatry booth to address it right now. In lieu of such, I'll simply suggest you go find a mirror in which to bathe in your own awesomeness. EDIT: I also shouldn't have to tell someone in your prestigious position in life this fact, but there's "fantasy," and then there's "Fantasy" - the latter of which is capitalized for a reason.
