Touché.

Not quite the same, though. You run a subliminal business, and are "The Creator." I'm a customer, married, and a father. Having a girlfriend, while not diminishing her importance to you, is not a relationship with the same level of commitment. :-)

Do you have any female friends you trust and see on a regular or semi-regular basis that would submit themselves as testers to help you out?

I know you're curious. I'm curious. I just don't have any women in my life that match what I just asked you.

Assumptions, assumptions. I don't agree with the legal aspect of marriage, so my "girlfriend" can not go beyond that title. That does not mean that I have no plans to stay with her for the rest of my life. The law has no place in my bedroom. But I do plan to keep her for the long haul, which is why I am trying so hard to help her heal and grow. So the level of commitment only differs because she and I have not yet had children, which will happen when the last piece of the puzzle falls into place in a year or two. I will not have children until I have a specific minimum amount of money in savings.

I actually have two female friends who want to test, but both are unsuitable for one reason or another. Namely, they would use it as an excuse to indulge in self destructive behaviors they are learning to outgrow, but have not done so yet. I don't want to assist in enabling those behaviors.
