When people ask about my first sexual experiences I always have to lie. But dear diary, here's the truth. I can't stop thinking about it, and my therapist says writing down your thoughts helps you to stop ruminating about things, so here goes. It's a long story, so I guess I'll try to start from the beginning. Or maybe just write what comes to mind and then go back... I don't know. My therapist just says to write and don't worry about those things.
It's like that Prince song I heard on the radio on the way home today...
"I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray."
I was shy and didn't start dating until I was much older. Partly because I was... well, shy but also just naΓ―ve and inexperienced. I was home-schooled through primary school and only started attending public school in junior high, so all the other girls were much more experienced than I was. And my experience would have been just about zero if not for daddy. He taught me everything I know and my partners all thanked him, whether they knew it or not. Usually not. No guy likes being compared to a girl's father.
I was terrified of boys because I was so nervous about the first time, but I was also really really horny and thought about sex all the time. I could hear my mom having sex with my stepdad and was always jealous. She said he was much better than my biological father who left us for another man when I was very little and then died in a car accident a short time later. My mother was just angry she wasn't getting child support, but not sad that he died. She married my stepfather shortly after he left. I only knew of my real dad from photos but don't have any memories of him.
My parents were split up and living separately but still trying to work things out, so sometimes dad would spend the night with her and sometimes I'd go and stay at his place. It didn't really matter since I was home-schooled and could do my homework from anywhere.
I was nervous to start college and on my very first day, a girl asked me if I'd "done it" yet. I lied and said I did, but I hadn't done anything at all. They all proceeded to talk about the boys in school they'd been with and told me which ones to watch out for and which ones they should hook me up with.
I started asking daddy questions and he realized quickly something was up. We were snuggling on the couch under the covers watching a movie. He was hard again and I was gently running my fingernails over the bulge in his jeans. Something mom referred to as daddy's "Battle with the Bulge" that she had to help him win.
"Daddy?" I whispered. He looked down at me.
"Are you ever gonna let me see it or touch it?"
He sighed. "Oh baby, we've talked about this. Someday, but you're still too young and your mother hasn't given us permission yet. Just like how she still won't let you guys go to the movies without a parent there."
"Well Rebecca wants to set me up with Zack. He said he really wants to show me his willy and..."
"Did you?! Did you see it?" He sat up.
"Well, um yeah..."
"Did you touch it? Did you? Tell me right now what you did with him baby!"
"Nothing! He just showed it to me. But he said I could touch it later..."
"No, no, no, no! I told you that's my job. Just like I taught you how to ride a bike and roller skate. It's my job to teach you about sex! You're not to be fooling around with anybody until I make sure you know what you're doing first!"
I started to cry. I'd already asked him and he kept saying no. It wasn't fair that the other girls were fooling around and I wasn't.
"Take your clothes off right now and let me look at you."
I did what he said. I stood there in front of him while he looked me up and down. He twirled his finger in the air and I twirled like a trained puppy hoping for a bone.
"Sit on the armchair there and spread your legs. Wide."
I did as he said. We'd played this game before but never totally naked, just with my skirt lifted up. I spread my legs over the arms of the chair, and then pushed down to lift myself up when he commanded.
"Go ahead," he instructed.
I proceeded to touch myself, naming the parts of my anatomy like he taught me.
