      Oh…yeah, I was thinking it was much darker. It sounds like some kind of metalic tub that you put children in to rape them in the fields of Alaska at an oil rig job.

      At least with mistress’s and partners consent is a key factor.

        In several countries, and absolutely historically, it’s actually been a government-classified relationship status.

        It just means people involved in a romantic and sexual relationship who are unable to legally marry for whatever reason (because they are already married, because they aren’t legally qualified, such as one member is from a slave caste, etc)
