“It was my first night in New York and I went to this somewhat local bar with my girlfriend and her boyfriend. I usually don’t feel like a third wheel but this night I figured I was in a new state and I should maybe meet someone. I didn’t want a relationship, nor did I want to hook up, but once you mix tequila with any of my intentions I can be easily persuaded.

I went home with this guy, which I absolutely never do but my friend’s boyfriend worked with him and he said he would pick me up when I was ready to go home so it felt safe. Anyways, we started to get undressed and I was completely naked and he looked at me and said, “You are so beautiful you remind me of my mother.” Um, so awkward I couldn’t even wait for a ride I left and took a taxi home.”

“I was in Vegas for my friends 21st birthday and I never drink, but I wanted to go to support her. We met a group of guys and we went back to their place. Before we knew it, a male stripper was at the door and TRUST me they were WAY more excited than we were about this man.”

“I was at a bar and I thought I was having some chemistry with this guy. I had to use the restroom and when I came out he was standing by the door, he pushed me up against a wall and was feeling me up until he felt my tampon string and then he kept playing with it like it was some type of rowing machine at the gym. I don’t know about you, but playing with something I bleed on in some trashy bar on Main Street is not the chemistry I’m looking for. No thank you.”

“Every time I share this story it feels unreal. I was in LA downtown Hollywood club hopping with some buddies; one of my guy friends took me back to his place for a bottle of wine. I was naked and I had to use the restroom so I went out into the hallway and there was a girl standing in his kitchen. It was his sister. He. lived. with. his. fucking. sister. Needless to say, I never made it to that family reunion.”

“This is so cliche, but it totally happened and it was awful. It was my first time having sex, and my parents are really religious; they never once spoke to me about anything related to that. I was only 15, so I was still using pads for when I got my period – that right there should indicate that you should NOT be having sex. I had an older sister who was a freshman in college and I spent the night at her house one night when she was having a little get-together. I went into her room with this boy from a few dorms over who was 19, and not only did she walk in to come tell me our dad was on the phone and wanted to talk to me, but her sheets were never white again. It was so embarrassing.”
