I need YOUR virginity-loss story!

I've lucked out and been offered a book deal with Bobbie Books. I am writing a book for teens about how to clarify their values about sexuality so they can make more thoughtful decisions about their relationships.

I am excited to work on this project - a new audience! And am hopeful I'll be able to help teens navigate their romances feeling a whole lot more confident than I ever did.

One thing I am doing is including a section on Virginity Stories - tales of virginity loss. I think this will be helpful to teens so they can see what happens to people under all sorts of circumstances. It will give them an opportunity to think more clearly about what they want for themselves or their partner when the time comes (no pun intended!).

I'd love it if you would send me your virginity story - how'd you lose it? What's your story? I'm more interested in the story than the impact on you - but I'm happy to hear about that too. If you're willing, I may use it in my book. It will be anonymous and, of course, anything you tell me is confidential, unless you send me your tale as a comment to this blog entry. Or you can email me, of course! amy@birdsandbeesandkids.com

Thanks in advance!
