too sweet to die: What's Happening to My Body*
When I was 4, I explained in great detail to my cousins how people had sex and how babies were made. They weren’t allowed to talk to me for years.I think it is safe to say that some people are just…prude. I mean, I turned out alright. Right? Right?!
I’ll never forget the delight I felt at age 10 when I was able to graphically describe the machinations of gay sex to all my friends. “And then…they put it each others’ BUTTS!”*
*And even THAT isn’t all that wild if you’ve already read letters in Penthouse Forum about sodomizing seagulls in Australia (and for years I thought my subconscious had fabricated that story but I’ve managed to find proof that it did exist and was, fortunately, a work of fiction).
According to my sister, when she was five and I was ten, I told her that the Bible (super-fundamentalist household, etc.) said that when women get married they have to put their fingers in their husbands’ butts every day. She worried about this for years, apparently.
