2 weeks agoI Was a Virgin Until I Was 20. Then a Phone-Sex Incident Changed Everything.
I was still a virgin at 20, though I'd acquired a boyfriend just after I turned 19. I wasn't religious, but from an early age, I'd been instilled-by society, schools, parents-with a deep sense of shame, especially when it came to my body and the things I did with it. Though I didn't believe sex should be reserved for marriage, I did believe that it should be reserved for love. (I don't anymore.)
