The Virgin Diaries by Kimberley Johnson and Ann Werner
About The Book:
What does it feel like to lose your virginity? Seventy-two men and women answer that burning question. Hundreds of years of collective experience answer the questions every virgin has. The Virgin Diaries is a book about sex that really isn't about sex at all. Rather, it's about the feelings associated with that first time: wondering about it, worrying about it, the expectations, the surprises and the disappointments. Within these pages are the recollections of seventy-two people, young and old, gay and straight, who responded to the call for answers. This candid collection of stories provides a unique opportunity to be a fly on the wall. There is no commentary. The stories stand on their own, allowing the reader to form his or her own conclusions. Whether you are a virgin and desire to make an informed decision, a parent faced with "the talk" or are interested in reading detailed accounts of one of life's most personal experiences, The Virgin Diaries offers confidential insights and illustrates the commonalities we all share: our hopes, dreams, fears and insecurities. It shows that we are all human and therefore, all connected.
My Thoughts:
Everyone has a story about their first time, good or bad, and this book lets us into that world of personal stories that 72 men and women share. Being a female, I found the stories and feelings of the men most interesting. It sheds a light on the fact that they have some of the same emotions and feelings as we woman do on sex. It was a great read and I love the way the book is compiled, and the illustrations are fun too (not sexually graphic pics or anything). I do hope the authors carry on with reality based books, because this was an enjoyable, and knowledgeable, read.
