I’m writing some stuff I’ve learned and experienced about sex. Not necessarily for Medium, but definitely as part of my book of essays. I’ve had to think about some titles I might use for essays about my sexual history.

I thought perhaps I might use some of these, except that I’m (mostly) kidding. These titles might give you a bit of a hint where this is going, though.

Places I’ve Had Sex
Tales of a street prostitute

How to Have Sex in a Porta-Potty
Yes, it can be done

I Was Supposed to Be a Child Bride
Thankfully it didn’t work they way they wanted it to

My Relationship With Sex Is Complicated And Abusive
Rape, trafficking, prostitution, and pornography

Playing The Ace Card
If I never have sex again it will be too soon

Orgies Are Overrated
But I was bored and it was something to do

Transactional Sex
It sounds cooler than “prostitution”

I Began Life As A Sex Slave
And it just got worse from there
