Love Me or Die is not intended as an instrument of coercion or a means of forcing another to submit to your will. To employ it in that fashion is to misunderstand where its sovereignty resides: \u003cb\u003ethe work is upon the one who wears it, and upon the field of desire surrounding them, rather than upon the captivity of a chosen victim.\u003c\/b\u003e This is especially important for men who might seek to employ the oil upon women. Love Me or Die is fiercely protective of women, and its fullest expression, breadth of virtue, and most natural home are found in the hands of women themselves. The command, then, remains every bit as severe as the name promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle of Love Me or Die will arrive with detailed instructions and suggestions for usage.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus Of Ophidious LLC","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 oz","offer_id":67986470666283,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":67986470699051,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7255\/7625\/files\/BD03723E-F49A-4597-B43D-BF38DAB3C6C1.jpg?v=1792747213"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7255\/7625\/collections\/0CF49F3A-0556-46C2-A95D-9B4CBCBB9E6F.jpg?v=1792748052","url":"https:\/\/hausofophidious.com\/collections\/venus-aphrodite.oembed","provider":"Haus Of Ophidious LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
