Lilac Wine

Yet contrary to what most people would think, my writing about sex online doesn’t embarrass or offend my family. I come from a family of loud-mouthed, ill-mannered, high-strung oversharers; we’re like the cast of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, except we’re not Greek and we use the word “cunt” a lot more. If anything, my foul-mouthed sluttiness — or at least, my ability to write semi-coherently about it — is evidence that I’m carrying on an illustrious tradition of public inappropriateness. I don’t have a problem with my parents reading about my personal life because I’ve been telling them way more than they needed to know for years; and even if I didn’t, I know they would find out anyway.
