You sit up, and I quickly redo my clasp as if it had been my idea to stop. We're quiet, but on the way back to my house, you tell me that you don't want to fall into a routine, that you don't want us to be grabbing at each other all the time. And I tell you, oh, of course, no, me neither, I'm so glad you said that because me neither. But I'm thinking, what kind of girl am I? Am I so unattractive that having sex with me on a regular basis is unappealing? Or do I just like it too much? What are normal girls like? What are normal relationships like? Did your past girlfriends sit quietly with you on your couch? Could they focus? Could they sit still for five minutes without becoming agitated about the fact that you hadn't touched them during that entire time slot? Is that what you want? Is that how I'm supposed to be? 'I'm just a passionate person,' I tell you, trying to apologize, trying to make excuses, but even as I try to rationalize my behavior, I'm wishing we were in bed somewhere. I'm wishing we could go back to an hour ago, when your hand was still hovering over the clasp of my pants and I still thought you wanted me as badly as I want you.

I’m almost positive that if you saw me in the shower right now, masturbating with a Venus razor, you’d be horrified. Especially because I’m thinking of you. Especially because I’m leaning against the wall of my shower—which hasn’t been cleaned in weeks, by the way—and picturing you here with me. I’m not sure if that means you’re weird, or I’m weird, or both. I’m not sure if society is as okay with women masturbating as the "Your Body, Your Self" book I read when I was younger implied. I’m not sure you’d be comfortable with the fact that I’m getting off to you, not for you.

I felt like I was being pulled apart--but those nights, when you played songs that made me squirm, were the nights that made me want to write a memoir that began I'M BEGINNING THIS IN THE MIDDLE, BUT I CAN SEE THE END but I never started that memoir, so now I can be inappropriate. Now I can be indulgent. Now I can say that sheets are sheets, and semen is semen, and not being over you is not being over you.

THIS ESSAY IS SO GOOD. D:
