Overheard in Whole Foods
CW: sexually explicit
It felt really good to kiss a man again. I don’t mind giving a guy a blow job, but if a man ever pressures me into something I don’t want to do, it’s like okay sir, fuck you. Wait! I never told you about what happened at the movies? I was wearing a pleated skirt and kept feeling a hand in my vagina. I wasn’t really shocked and suddenly the man jumped up and ran out of the theater. Once one of my friends at Wellesley and I were doing a three-way and the guy asked, are you twins? I mean he was sober, but he was also short and disgusting and married. I was like oh sir, so you’re into incest? I wanted to punch him in the face.
