I remember a tale of personal unreadiness. Didn't embarrass me, but.. well, read the story below!

Those who have read the opening post of "My Little Demon: Rape" might remember that I was in an open relationship that led to a serious long-term relationship after a few months.

I had always been clear with her that we could be great friends, and kiss and make out, but I wouldn't take it to the point of intercourse until we were monogamous. (Must have been my George Michael "explore monogamy" phase.) I was reading on sublimation at the time, so I suspect there may have been method to that madness.

I arrived at her house so we could watch Twin Peaks and talk about it after. She informed me nonchallantly that she had decided to stop seeing someone she flirted with now and then. Nothing registered with me at the time, because she didn't say, "...and I was hoping we could go forward now that I'm seeing only you..."

I was working full time, and I would begin to get tired after 10... she and did the kissing thing on the couch. Her parents were out of town, and her brother was at wa friend's. Strangely, none of these clues tipped me off that she might have something serious in mind.

At some point she stood u, taking my hand, and led me into her father's work study, where small bed was. I was looking pretty beat, so maybe she was going to offer me the bed to sleep in.

Two seconds into her peeling ff her shirt, I knew where we were going. I probably didn't ask what this meant. She kissed me again, and we started shedding clothes together. Then came the question..

"Did you bring it?"
"Bring what?"
"A condom."
I swallowed hard. I hadn't bothered to carry a condom in my wallet in months. After all, I was seeing just her, and I had no interest in casual encounters. "Um... let me just drive downto the Jiffy..."
One of us remembered her keychain: a condom in a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" case. In a few seconds, we were consumating our love.

Two days later, Jenny is out with friends. She gets her keys out to open the car door, and the friend gasps, "Oh my god! You did it with him!"

She said she turned an interesting new shade of purple.
