Semakula Mesarch Quotes & Sayings

On one hand, I think it's natural to be curious about sexuality. But on the other hand, I think girls are caught in this terrible net of perpetual disappointment. We're not really allowed to talk about sex, or ask questions about it, or be interested in it. If we are interested and if we like it, then we're labeled as easy or sluts.

The effect of these beliefs is holistic: they work together, whether a character be virtuous or sinful.
