This story really began when I was sitting up way too late reading up on something completely different, and stumbling across an article about a volunteer organization in Switzerland who were organizing sexual therapy for disabled persons. I remember, at the time, a spokesperson for a disability organization called it "degrading"; at the same time, the persons who were actually receiving the benefits reported various positive effects. A follow up study showed that the recipients of the service felt more confident, less stressed, were in a better mood and their depressions, where applicable, were either less severe or completely gone. All for a little sex.
I handed in a paper on the subject a week later for an English assignment and received an A.
Now, to give you an idea about who I am, my name is Alice Grice, and I'm a 19-year-old sophomore at Green High School. I love to discuss things - especially causes I'm passionate about - and I generally get good grades. Oh, and I was, then, still a virgin. Not because I really cared about that: it's just that I never really knew how to go forward with it without being branded by everyone around me.
A few days after handing in the assignment, I woke before my alarm clock rang. I had always been an early riser, so this was not really unusual for me. I stretched in my bed, feeling the sheets caress my skin. I have always thought that the best feeling in the world is waking up. Before the day's stress gets to you: just you and some very, very soft sheets. My hand wandered down to my crotch, and I started to finger myself slowly. Before long, however, the alarm did ring and I stopped immediately with a soft groan. I rose and made my way over the tall standing mirror placed in the corner of my room. I looked at my naked body with a smile. Lately, I had gotten really happy with my body. I was rather tall at 5'7", and my 30D breasts gave me some curves at least. I sat down at my makeup table and began curling my hair. A knock rapped on the door.
"Are you decent?" my mother asked.
"I never am," I replied.
She sighed. "Hurry up and get dressed, you can't be late again".
I had this uncanny ability to always be late, no matter when I woke or what I did. Something always took longer than planned. I sighed, applied some final makeup and got dressed in a bra, a loose-fitting top, a pair of plain panties and my favorite jeans. Downstairs, I received a plate with a grilled cheese sandwich. "Eat! We need to go!", my mother urged me on. I left the plate on the counter and ate the sandwich as we walked to the car.
At school, I ran into Emma, my best friend. "Hey," she whispered, "have you heard about Jenni?"
"Uhm, no," I replied.
"Apparently she slept with 3 guys this weekend!"
"Good for her!" I replied with a smile.
"Not really. It will tarnish her repuβ"
"Seriously Emma, you need to stop being so uptight. This whole guys-can't-be-virgins and girls-must-be is a really stupid idea. Besides, you should thank her. She's taking care of your share!" I added with a laugh.
Emma turned scarlet.
I really liked Jenni, so I don't know why Emma thought it was a good idea to trash-talk her with me. She probably thought I would be disgusted by it, but to be fair: sure, Jenni was a bit promiscuous, and I was still a virgin, but I didn't really find sex disgusting - and definitely not sinful.
As the day dragged on, I heard the same rumour being repeated about twenty times. When it was finally time for history, the only class I had Jenni in, I made sure to sit next to her.
"So I heard you're the social pariah today," I said with a grin.
"You have no idea. You know I only did it to be nice?"
I must have had a perplexed look on my face, as she continued.
"You know Steve, Dan and Jonathan?"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Those were the ones I slept with."
I now most definitely felt perplexed.
"The geeks?"
