Nicole Aniston. Nicole is Edu’s favourite porn star. He is getting love in her. Saidly he gets to that stage that it bothers him, when somene is having sex with Nicole. Edu is married. He has a son. He would love to have another one, therefore he is sleeping naked next to his wife. He couldn’t manage to get laid, but he is getting sick every week. Edu loves his son. He is changing the little boy’s diaper. Recently he got really touched emotionially, when he found a birth mark on his baby’s thigh. Edu was almost crying, but then he realized that it is only a little drained shit.
