Ð king vs ð man ðat has ð stamina to continuously hit ð bone zone for 2 straight weeks.

On his first time too, but at the same time remember that Enkidu was specifically crafted by the gods to be the equal of Gilgamesh.

And also, infinite respect for Shamhat for being able to take a two-week pounding.

She was not called the greatest prostitute for nothing.

Ðat's where you stop being ð priestess and start being ð godess yourself IMO!
