“Can I Come on Your Face?” The Problems of Porn
Last week, I was sitting in the living room of my apartment when I heard moans coming from the direction of my bedroom. Naturally, I got up to investigate. As I stepped into my room, the moans only got louder. As anyone with a sense of curiosity (and a take-home

When I was 15, I went to a New Year’s Eve party and kissed the cutest boy there when the clock struck midnight. He had blonde hair that swooshed to the side and, if I remember correctly, he was wearing a turtleneck (it was 2008). At the time, I was
