I always wondered why my BFF’s mother and father slept in separate bedrooms-for precisely six years until shortly after my eighteenth birthday when she asked if I wanted to fuck. I soon learned she was having an affair with a local politician, that she liked to expose herself through the bay window to the teenage boys as they walked home from school and she and another MILF had hatched a plan to seduce me-sadly that never happened. This provided me with erotic material that would last for years, even now as I write. That’s the extent of my sex-ed which allowed me to see a kaleidoscope of relationship and sexual experiences and created a difficult template to navigate in a “normal” world.

Adding some "empty" comment to hype things up just because. 😂

Another great chapter Bowen.

I really enjoyed the line — “The look in the seventies was long hair and bandanas. In the eighties it was powdered Gatorade and Patagonia pile jackets—just as these days it’s Aeropress coffee and Apple watches” — such a funny and poignant observation.
