I didn't meet her in person, but I did correspond with her several times and she was always wonderful. She will be missed greatly.

Re: Firelizard rising to mate
I believe I understand what you are asking. I think that such a person would get a bit aroused and it would be up to their personal standards if they wanted to ... provide some self relief ... or not.
