Insights from Chapter 1
#1
I remember being fascinated with sex and romance from a young age, and I was constantly warned by my teachers and parents that if I showed too much interest in those things, boys would think I was easy, and girls would call me names.
#2
I was eventually caught kissing one of the boys, and my mother made me stop. Boys were quiet when you kissed them. They did not tease you for being skinny or bucktoothed or smart. They let you lead when you kissed them.
#3
I was a scrawny child who always carried books around. I was always overlooked for the girls who already wore training bras, had professionally styled straight hair, and who boasted of boyfriends at other schools.
#4
I was not unaffected by my classmates’ becoming pregnant young, even as I remained fascinated by sex and love. I was scared. Teenage pregnancy was a family curse, and every time I looked in the mirror, I worried that it would happen because of an accident.
#5
I had a friend named Tanya, who was pretty much the only close girlfriend I had at the time. She had boobs and booty, played basketball, and got her hair done on a regular basis. My mother didn’t like her because she was too mature for me. I didn’t like her because she was too fast and mature for me.
#6
I was 15 when I had sex with Rocco, and I remember being surprised that it wasn’t as bad as I’d imagined. It felt like the seam on a too-tight shirt had popped, and I was ready to move on.
#7
The elixir of being fast is addictive. It gives you power over men, and you can use that power to ruin their lives if you want. It is also addictive because it gives you the real reason people hate fast girls: they hate that these girls and young women know the power of their bodies and use it to their advantage.
#8
I had spent my high school and college years as a serial monogamist, hoping the shield of exclusivity would protect me from being called fast. In adulthood, the names for a sexually adventurous woman were worse, but I still wanted to explore the power I felt when men shook in my arms.
