I tell this cautionary tale because it highlights a problem that I’m becoming increasingly aware of in single American society. Poor young ladies and gents who have been, for better or worse (oftentimes worse), conditioned by past relationships.

(Humph…maybe I shoulda been more specific when I made this list…) Sex, it’s a pretty large topic. It encompasses so many things. There’s a wide berth of subjects that can fit inside it.
