“ It's true that increasing one's number of sexual partners almost certainly increases the risk of sexually transmitted disease and of unintended pregnancy. It increases the chance of having your soul stomped on, and of having really bad sex.

For just one last day, before I joined their ranks, I wanted them to fuck off too.
