HEY! Slow down. My first sex was with a much older girl who forced me to do
it. She forced me to do it several times with her. And she said she would
tell on me if I told anyone. I was afraid of my parents, my church, and the
cops coming after me - so I never told. I thought it was always the boy's
fault for doing it with a girl. I've never been the same since. Look what
she turned me into - a pussy addict! Girls have no shame!
