I want to share my experience of learning how to have fun. In these troubled times, with a pandemic virus, it's important to be able to plan for the future when things return to normal. I've had to adapt this summer but I hope you can enjoy hearing about my 18th summer, a few years ago.
I was never the prettiest girl at school but I did OK. Lots of boys liked my auburn hair and I had boyfriends and dates. I had a job collecting glasses in a pub over the summer. The customers were mostly middle aged men. They were a boring if polite bunch. They all smiled when they saw me and I never worried about anyone pinching my bottom.
Towards the end of the summer I knew that I needed to get away and have some fun.
My grandmother had told me about her teenage years and how miserable they were. She had no choice about where she went, who she met, or even who she married. She had only ever had sex with one man and when we had a chat she told me to take advantage of my freedom. I agreed with her.
I set out to get as much fun as possible on as little money as possible. I bought a train ticket to Southend on Sea, got a cheap hotel room, and implemented my plan: have sex with as many lads as possible, in as controlled a fashion as possible, in my week away.
I decided against fancy lingerie. Once a man's decided he's happy to have sex with you, he only wants to take off your knickers, he doesn't want to admire the quality of the lace. Fullback cotton supermarket knickers would be perfect because they are comfortable and have a nice wide gusset to absorb any spunk that drips out on my way back to my own hotel.
