Letters to the Editor

This piece is really less fluffy than it seems.
Really, how often do any of us pick up a magazine (e or otherwise) and read an essay that touches on women's (a woman's) expectations of what constitutes "normal sexuality?" Crosley's idea that every young woman "needs" to have a one night stand is just one example.
And for those who are whining about fluffiness or navel-gazing-- heaven forbid that a human being should search for meaning in her experiences, especially in regard to something as trivial as sex.
I imagine that if everyone here really thought about it, we would all be forced to admit that sexuality-- both our own and sexuality in general-- is a much different thing that we thought in earlier years. Everyone's perception of sexuality changes, I hope, and in our younger years, it changes especially often. Crosley's experience is, essentially, the same thing that happened to everyone in college, whether you were a virgin all four years or you slept with your school's entire football team.
