Javier Cervantes was making 69 with a fat girl, but she fainted from the excitement and began to suffocate him. He gives due thanks to Saint Elias with this retablo because he managed to push her off and promises not to visit brothels anymore.

I loved my girlfriend very much. That’s why when she proposed me to play sadomasochist sex games I agreed. I thank Saint Elias for giving me strength to break up with her because I couldn’t stand the pain from so much lashing. She passed all bounds and vented her frustration on me using me as a sex object. And then I realized she doesn’t really love me.
