Perhaps because of her rigid Catholic upbringing and "good girl" sensibilities, Julie had assumed that she would be a virgin bride. She rarely thought about sex, and refused to go on a date until her senior prom. A gorgeous 18 year old who was made all the more unattainable and desirable by her aloofness and purity, she was highly sought after, and when one of the most handsome football players in her class asked her to be his date, she decided it couldn't hurt to have a little fun.
She was wrong. Her date slipped her a dose of Rohypnol at the dance. Once she was "good and loose" he slipped out of the dance with her and drove her to a motel room, where he raped her repeatedly.

Everything changed for Julie after that night. She was overwhelmed with guilt and depression. She couldn't sleep. She complained to her doctor about the insomnia, but was too ashamed to tell him its cause. He gave her a prescription for Ambian.
Her guilt was amplified by the new urges she felt. She remembered little of her ordeal, but she thought about it constantly. Everywhere she went, she thought about sex. Every time she met a man, she imagined being raped by him. Finally, two months after her prom night, she renounced the "God" that had abandoned her, and pledged that in college she would do whatever made her happy.
She tried dating, but with little success. She was apprehensive about having sex again. Every time she got close, she would back out and refuse. What frightened her was that she didn't refuse because she was scared of having sex with these guys; she refused because she wasn't interested in that. The guys she dated were nice enough. That was the problem. The craving that she felt wasn't for some nice boy who would awkwardly sidle into bed with her, slip on a condom, and be gentle with her. She wasn't craving sex. She was craving rape.
All the images that floated into her head when she lay in bed were of men having there way with her, being rough with her, taking her against her will. Consensual sex just didn't interest her.
