Quote by Sanam Mahloudji

“What is to be happy, what does it look like if not like Nounou? Does it require romantic love, being known, having influence? Nounou had none of that. For some, isn't in enough not to be sick or starving? Isn't it enough to be a person, cared for in material needs, left alone with her thoughts, nothing demanded of her? Obviously not. It was then that I knew my life was in trouble. Before that my unhappiness was just kid stuff. The kind I assumed I'd grow out of.”

“Unfortunately, the majority of young people in the United States don't receive comprehensive sexuality education that includes information on pleasurable and fulfilling sexual relationships. We also live in a sex negative culture that includes a lot of oversexualization, sex stigma, and body shaming so there are few positive and pleasurable representations of sexuality for young people. Many young people are curious about sex and how it works. As a result many young people turn to the internet and end up looking at porn to figure it out. That's like watching the Fast and the Furious to learn how to drive. Porn is not a realistic representation of healthy, pleasurable, communicative, and responsible sex.”

“I was bent over, my dress hiked up, my pale bottom sticking out, bluish in the dim light and Bryon behind me, lost in another world. His face was pressed into my shoulder and his profile visible. As his features were screwed up in the release of pleasure, his eyes shut tight and his mouth hanging open, I once again struggled not to laugh. There was something so comical and pathetic about his unabashed sincerity and tedious adoration. I hated to admit it, but it made me want to slap him and watch him weep with a smile on my face as I told him it was all over and he would never see me again.”
