She says she was hooked, then it only became more risky, first one at a time, then two, then three, incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts. She says that one day, it will only break her body and soil her soul, but she knows it is what she was born to do, but instead of sexual intercourse, she is referring to wrestling, as "the best bang" is nothing compared to fighting for the AEW World Women's Championship.
