I'm staying late at the office one evening, when before you know it, I'm pushing way more than just pencils. For the longest time, I've been pretty damn overwhelmed by life. The son of a rich family, I've always gotten into quite a bit of unsavory behavior to compensate for my general dissatisfaction, much to my family's dismay. Little do they know, however, that the reasons for my acting out are my suppressed homosexual urges, for which I simply cannot seem to find an outlet.

My new girlfriend is about to unleash a side of myself that's wilder than I've ever before seen. I'm just a little bit late to the party when it comes to my sexuality. Growing up, I was what you might call a closeted lesbian, and it took entering into college to break me out of my shell as far as that was concerned. I suppose I should be considered a fully grown adult now, but my squeamishness when it comes to sexual matters has remained largely intact for some time now.

I got kind of a late start in terms of my sexuality, and lately, I've been sleeping with just about any guy who comes along. I've kind of given up on finding "the one," as they say, and just started focusing on screwing my nights away. I'm sleeping off a particularly bad night one evening, when suddenly, I'm abducted by two absolute sexpots of aliens, and everything changes dramatically.

At the age of six, attending his first children’s party, he burst into tears, but was soon comforted by being taken into the library of the house and left there alone.

I'm traveling across the country on a bus, going to see my girlfriend Stacy who goes to school in another state. But, here's the thing - I actually feel no real attraction to Stacy whatsoever. In fact, I'm secretly gay, but I was brought up in such a strict environment that I've never really been honest with myself about it. I'm mostly dating Stacy to keep up appearances more than anything, and prior to my departure, I made the stupid mistake of taking a bunch of arousal medication to get me ready in case intimacy takes place when I get over to her place.

I've always been a shyer girl, especially when it comes to matters of romance and intimacy. A freshman in college, I feel completely cut off from the people around me who party and rabble rouse, lesbians kissing at parties and dancers bumping and grinding....
