This is mostly a prequel to the "My Summer with Nora" series, but some of it overlaps with later events. Here Nora Meara discusses some of her freshman year experiences. She entered the City College of New York in September 1973.
Paul is the narrator of "My Summer with Nora" and he was her boyfriend for a time starting in June 1974. Wackenhut was the company that provided campus security at the time. The $25 charge for her first trick would be about $150 today.

I didn't have an easy transition from high school to City College. The sexual attitudes and politics of the new place disturbed me.
It was like every guy who couldn't get laid in high school assumed that college girls were "easy" and they couldn't wait for some sexual action. It seemed that the place was swarming with horny virgins and near-virgins, and all of them noticed me.
When I was on campus, I was constantly getting asked to go out with them or to simply have one-night stands. Many of them would comment on my appearance and supposed sexual availability even if they did not know me at all. There were no topics that were out of bounds when one of them would come up and try to converse with me.
I became paranoid about being anywhere at the school outside of the classrooms. Walking to the subway stations was a trial.
Within a couple of weeks, I knew most of them thought I was just a cunt they could penetrate, or if that wasn't possible, my mouth, hands, or anus were there to get them off. I, in turn, started to think of the lot of them as simply erect cocks seeking a female orifice to satisfy them.
Later, Paul would say I had exaggerated the situation, but he wasn't an eighteen-year-old female trying to navigate that difficult environment. It all felt demoralizing, even dehumanizing. I was completely unprepared to deal with it. Then I hit upon an idea to get some power back for myself.
One of the most persistent of my "suitors" was a junior by the name of Greg. He would often follow me around on both the North and South Campuses, and he constantly was asking me for dates. One time he said, "Even the snack bar would be fine for me."
"Well, it's not fine for me; it's a dump. And besides, I'm just not interested in you."
"Come on, we could just have sodas or coffee if you wish." We were on the North Campus at that point
Some inspiration came over me, and maybe I was being tongue-in-cheek when I said, "If you give me twenty-five dollars, I'll give you a blowjob. How does that sound?"
I was amazed that he took that seriously. After a few seconds of indecision, he said, "Yeah, I'll go for that. And we're in luck because my car is parked right over on St. Nicolas Terrace." That was a curving street that separated the campus from the park on the other side.
At that point, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon. I said, "That doesn't seem particularly secure, to be in a car on a public street in the middle of the day."
"That's not a problem. I've got a big quilt in the back that will cover us up."
I had a weird feeling of disassociation like this wasn't really happening. Yet I heard myself setting two conditions. "First of all, you can't come in my mouth. I won't allow it."
"Why does that make a difference?"
"I don't know; that's just the way I want it to go. I'll pull you out at the end and you can shoot it elsewhere." Later on, I would charge them extra if they wanted to ejaculate into my mouth. I also had a charge if they came in my face, which could be quite a mess.
Then I said, "While we're doing this, I want you to put your hand under my skirt and into my panties. Fondle my cunt and try to make me come. That way I can feel some pleasure too. You think you know how to do that?"
"Oh yeah, of course, I've done that many times."
Some instinct told me that he was either exaggerating or outright lying, but I didn't challenge him on that.
Then we went to his car, which I think was a late 1960s full-size Ford. He sat in the front seat behind the steering wheel, and I sort of hunched over next to him sideways. Then he got the quilt from the back seat and covered both of us. I insisted that he pay me first, and he didn't object.
Under the quilt, I completely unbuckled his pants. It was very strange to realize that I barely knew this guy and then have his cock in my mouth. As promised, he did put his hand under my skirt and he was doing a fair job of working on my pussy. I still remember that skirt: it was black with white dots on it. My panties were pink with white stripes.
What I hadn't counted on was how fast he would come. I guess he was one of those guys whose main sexual release was through masturbation, and having a real girl work on him was a novelty. It seemed to take him only a few minutes to climax. I could tell from the way he was moving and the sounds he was making that he was about to go off.
I pulled his cock out of my mouth and continued rubbing it with my hands; he pushed the quilt partially out of the way. I aimed it so that he mostly ejaculated onto the car's dashboard. Quite a bit of his spunk covered the speedometer.
When he was done, he also took his hand away from my crotch. I said, "Hey, I haven't come yet."
His next statement was an important lesson for me. "So what? I'm finished, we're done." I realized that as the customer, he was paying for his own pleasure, not mine. What I thought was irrelevant; my needs were not important.
Yet he didn't get nasty about it and order me out of his car, which guys would do later. And I was pleased that I had made twenty-five dollars so easily. Neither one of us really knew what we were doing, nor did I realize that I had set a price more appropriate for an experienced call girl, not a neophyte college student.
"Greg, do you have any friends who might be interested in my services?" I didn't tell him that I had never done this before.
"Sure, there are lots of them who would be interested I think." At that point, I was thinking about how many male virgins were wandering around that school.
"My name is Nora, Nora Meara, and I'm a history major. Thus I usually can be found somewhere on the South Campus." On an impulse, I wrote out my home phone number on a piece of notebook paper.
"Okay, I'll make sure that the word gets out about you." I don't even remember making the decision; I just liked the money. In a few minutes, almost by accident, I had turned into a whore.
I didn't know what more to say to him, so I just got out of the car. He was already using a cloth to clean the interior of his vehicle. I thought,
