That's an easy fix, you can pay someone or do it yourself. Just search "rimjob" and you will find videos

Yeah, but is really hard to do it yourself. Make sure you get someone to help you.

I handle all my own rimjobs. It was difficult at first, but learning to be flexible when these problems arise is ultimately a very satisfying endeavor.

I know a guy. Just ask rimjob_steve.
