A recent grad argues that the real problem with some young women's sex lives is their lack of shame.
  • Hey, Anonymous

    We all live different lives. Not all of us fall in love in college. Some of us fall in love with women who want to wait. Some of us fall in love with women who are involved with someone else. Some of us form very close friendships with nice women whom we don't find attractive and who don't find us attractive, while everyone else tries to get us in each others' beds.

    I know my sexual desires. I know my social desires too. I have not had the chance to satisfy my sexual desires without screwing up my social desires; each time I have had the choice, I have chosen my social desires first. (I would rather have both). I can't choose to be lucky, and have both, but I can choose the possibility of years of one kind of joy over the certainty of one night of another kind.
