Weirdest sexual dream?
Okay please no one tell Jonny this but I once dreamt I was Johnny Depp and was having sex with a girl.
Exotic animal?
Do snow leopards count? They are the COOLEST have you seen how fluffy their tails are?
Fingers or tongues?
Definitely fingers for a tongue. Tongues for fingers would be squishy and weird. Although, I could probably hold so much with tongue-fingers, since tongues are so strong...BUT would I taste everything I touch and hold and carry?? Ooo. Okay I’m going with tiny fingers.
