My daughter, Jessica, didn't date anyone for the rest of her senior year of high school, perhaps a little jilted by her poor experience with her first boyfriend, Tommy.
During that year, her and I grew closer and continued to have more conversations about everything. She would ask questions about sex, and how to do things, and what kind of boy to look for. While I was happy to talk about guys, I was reluctant to tell her more about how to experience sex.
She asked me about understanding what the '69' position was and why it seemed so enjoyable to the people in the videos. She asked what her first experience of intercourse would feel like. She even asked if anal sex might be something that she would potentially enjoy. She asked about blow jobs and cunnilingus. While I tried to keep my comments superficial, she demanded specifics. The more she asked, the more challenging those conversations became for me.
My wife, Jenny, and I love each other with all our hearts, but our sex life continued to struggle from infrequent intercourse. These conversations with Jessica were becoming more difficult, especially as she moved to the end of her senior year. While my personal sex life was struggling, it was hard to talk to this beautiful young woman about how to enjoy sex for herself.
The summer just before her 19th birthday was very busy. Jessica was preparing to leave for college in the fall, which was about an hour away from our home. Honestly, I wasn't sure I wanted her to go. I would miss her deeply. I think Jenny was going to also.

One early summer Friday, while working from home, with Jenny at her office across town, Jessica came to me excitedly with bags in her hands.
"I went shopping for some college clothes and found an amazing swimsuit. I'm going to try it on, and I'd like to know what you think."
"OK," I replied, unsure what I just volunteered for.
She walked in about 10 minutes later with the most amazing thong bikini I think I've ever seen on a woman. While the swimsuit looked great, the reality was, it was on the most amazing body I had ever seen. Jessica had become a truly gorgeous young woman. I think she could tell by my stare that her suit had achieved its goal on me.
"You look stunning, Jessica," was all I could muster.
"Thanks Dad, I knew you would like it. I'm going to go sunbathe in the backyard. Let me know when you decide to take a break for lunch and I'll join you."
"I sure will baby." I just couldn't stop staring as her perfect ass swayed like a bell on her way to the backyard. She headed out with her sunglasses, headphones, lotion, and her favorite magazine. I watched as she spread her towel on the lounge chair, laid on her stomach, and untied her top in an effort to avoid tan lines.
I tried not to be a peeping Tom, but I couldn't help but look at the most beautiful, 95% naked young woman lying on the lounger in my backyard that I had ever seen. I did everything I could to fight a losing battle to a hardon as I watched her skin glisten in the sun.
