#1: Taking a trip back
The reason for my situation and how I turned out lies directly in one or more of my past memories. Now it’s time to face them all again.
Childhood
Born into a dysfunctional family to two parents with different genetic illnesses, The Virgin deals with a wobbly childhood while learning about those grownup words like "masturbation" and "sex."
#4: Family life
If family life is supposed to be an education of how to love someone, then my family flunked the class.
#5: My father
I’d write a better excerpt about my Old Man, but I don’t even think he’s even worth that effort.
#6: My mother
Unlike my Old Man, Mom isn’t a bad person…just a person bad things have happened to.
#7: My grandmother
My grandmother was accused of being psychotic by her own doctor. Therefor she fit in well with my family.
#8: Family life, custody and abuse
When I was a kid and my little head hit the pillow for the land of dreams, just what went on in the rest of my household? A literal nightmare.
#9: Childhood sweethearts
Ah…young “love.” Unfortunately it also teaches you a hard lesson early on in life about the true psychology of women and attraction.
#11: Sex education
When kids at school are more informative about sex than your parents, then you know they SUCK at explaining things.
#13: My first Playboy Magazine
I was 11 years old when I got my hands on a Playboy Magazine. At least I was an early bloomer in something.
#14: Sex education films
Boy, that’s really neat, Beav.
#15: The twilight of my childhood years
The final few weeks of the fifth grade and childhood…the calm before the storm.
