The Sexuality Interview: Have We Come A Long Way, Baby? 
Age: 19
Race: white
Gender: female
Education: some college
Career: NA
Class: upper middle
Sexual Orientation: bisexual
Marital Status: single
Children: 0

- Were you aware that in the 1920s people dated more people, it was considered a large faux pas for a girl to see one boy exclusively and people married at much later ages than in the postWWII eras? If no, does this surprise you?
Yes - not suprising.

- Were you aware that also in early 20th century young women began to widely attend colleges, places of higher education, and enter the work force and invented the "career girl"? Does this surprise you?
Yes: not suprising.

- Were you aware that up until the 1920s women did not wear make up other than powder ever nor did they smoke or cut their hair - if they did they were considered a "loose woman"?
Yes; not suprising.

- Were you also aware that so-called petting was widespread among youth in the 1920s and included every embrace known to married couples but intercourse?
Yes; not suprising.

- Were you aware that birth control was illegal in the united states until the early 1960s; that it was even illegal to research such a thing or provide any kind of information on birth control and family planning? Does this surprise you?
Yes; not suprising.

- Were you also aware that when The Pill was first introduced it was illegal to give to unmarried women? Does this surprise you?
Yes; not suprising.

- What are the "bases?"
I have no idea: 1st base = kissing, 2nd base = tongue kissing and being felt up, 3rd base = oral sex, petting

- What do you think of when you hear the phrase "a good girl"; what does this imply - what will a good girl do, what's acceptable, virginity, waiting until marriage, sexual ignorance, what won't she do...
A good girl is a virgin, or someone who sleeps with very few people and if she has sex may only keep it to missionary position and may be unadventurous.

- What do you think of when you hear the phrase "a bad girl"?
Someone who is more unabashedly sexual, sleeps with men, and is more sexually skilled and willing to do more, let people go further, etc.

- Define "slut"
A woman who sleeps around and is easy to have intercourse with.

- How many men does a woman have to sleep with to be considered a slut?
40 or so, or maybe more than three or four at a time.

- At what age did you lose your virginity?
12

- How many people have you dated/did you date before marriage?
10

- How many people have you had a sexual relationship with?
7

- Is oral sex sex? Why/why not?
Yes - it's sexual behavior and can result in sexual orgasm.

- How long should a couple wait before entering a sexual relationship? Did you follow this?
a few dates maybe; but I don't always follow this.

- How long should a couple, or an individual wait before marriage? Did you follow this?
At least a year, preferably living together. Yes - but not living together.

- (Women) At what age did you start wearing makeup? (If children) At what age will you allow your children to wear makeup?6
11. I don't know - probably 10 or 11.

- Do you feel the wearing of make up implies anything about sexual maturity - etc?
No - but I do think it sends a sexual signal.

- (Women) At what age did you begin shaving your legs? At what age will you allow your children to shave their legs?
11. Probably ten or eleven as well.

- Does the shaving of legs have any implication of sexual readiness etc?
No.

- Do you masturbate?
Yes!

- Do you feel female masturbation is a taboo subject?
Yes, no one talks about it and it seems to be less acceptable to mention a woman masturbating than it is to talk about a male masturbating.

- Have you ever participated in a friends with benefits relationship? What do you think of such relationships? What was your experience with this: was it fulfilling for you emotionally, sexually, etc.
Yes, and I think they can be healthy as long as both individuals are at the same level of detachment and aware of what the other wants and expects. I also think they're only worthwhile if they are equal. It has been both emotionally and sexually fulfilling for me in the past.

- Have you ever had a one night stand? How does this differ from friends with benefits, what do you think of them...
No. Assuming it was safe sex and everything in a sexual sense one night stands maybe healthy however - as many one night stands are a result of intoxication and can be risky behavior and lead to violence and such, they are probably more unhealthy.
A one night stand differs from friends with benefits in that you will never see this person again; friends with benefits is someone you would hang out with outside of sex, or do hang out with outside of sex, or have more than wanting to get off right then.

- What do you think of giving/receiving oral sex? Do you think female oral sex is more or less acceptable in our society.
I enjoy giving oral sex - I don't enjoy receiving. I think female oral sex is less acceptable in our society than male oral sex. This is probably due to an issues of cleanliness. The idea of a guy going down on me disgusts me.

- What do you think of beauty pageants for young children? (make up, clothing, objectified...)
I think the young girls are objectified sexually and that this probably can have very adverse effects on the girls.

Do you think sexual education in schools is healthy and a good idea?
Yes.

Do you think masturbation should be taught in schools as an alternative to intercourse?
Yes definitely; both self masturbation and outercourse or mutual masturbation (IE how to get your partner off).

Define "Bitch"
A female who is aggressive, driven, rude, pushy, opinionated, and strong-willed.

Define "Lady"
A female who is soft spoken, carries herself with dignity and grace.

Define "Cunt"
a vagina. Another term along the lines of "bitch" but not exclusive to females (or "bastard"); an insult.

Do you use the word "cunt"
Yes - in both instances

"Father Forgive Me" (later renamed "Baby, the Stars Shine Brite") was started in the hope that a confessional blog would be entertaining reading as well as intellectual. After being neglected for some years is now, rather anonymously written in the hopes of hashing out thoughts in a somewhat intelligent manner. Aside from the writer of this blog, I am a university student majoring in Women's Studies and minoring in English at a prominent Catholic university in Middle America. A dedicated liberal - I also throw and participate fully in raves and rave culture from DJing, to lights and sound crew, to doing homework in legal libraries I'll be there - in true Riot Grrrl style: usually a miniskirt, combat boots, and wildly dyed hair. Aside from considering law school and entering politics I hope to start an organization wherever I end up providing a safe place for teenage girls (and boys) and helping their voices be heard as well as providing information on sex, condoms, and anything under the sun that kids may need. I am currently engaged to a wonderful man and hope to be married sometime around November of 2008.
