Reader Feedback on "An Oral History of Nerve"
I remember reading Lisa (may I call you Lisa?) in late '97-early '98, thinking that she was just great and inviting her to visit me in Hawaii, where I lived at the time. I was drunk when I wrote it, still was a good idea. Lisa?

loved this. what she says about gen x being parentified (or it was something like that) is great. i think she's right. and it's worth saying more about if it really is particular to the era - which i think it is; divorce all over the place, women and men finding newfound 'freedom' or being at sea and trying to express themselves, made their children adults. and it's hard to express how impactful this is. what did they do? people ask. and we tell them, well, they didn't touch me. they taught me stuff. they showed me things. they put me in charge. they let me sleep in their beds. etc. that's the good (?) stuff and there are plenty of us who relate.

I remember the chatroom well. I thought it was awesome. I was 19 and I would go there every day and talk to people who had a healthy outlook on their fetishes. I wasn't happy about that chatroom closing down....
