Kind of Funny, Kind of Nice |

I discovered sex when I was sixteen years old, a sophomore in high school. One of my friends and I went to visit a girl at her home. She was an older woman as far as we were concerned, a high school senior, eighteen. She told my friend to wait downstairs while she took me upstairs. I thought she just wanted me to see her house. When I found out she had other ideas, I wasn't scared. I just didn't know what the hell to do. I'd played doctor a few times, but that was about it; I'd never gotten into the operating room.
We went into her bedroom and we didn't even get undressed. It was just like lifting up her skirt and — surprise! It was kind of funny, and kind of nice. I don't get many surprises any more. I guess I wasn't too considerate of her; I didn't know what I was doing. She probably doesn't even remember any of it — it sure as hell wasn't her first time — but I remember it. I remember all of them. I even remember most of the names. (Beaver Falls, PA, 1959)
