I understand

From Create Your Own Story

Karen looks relieved and says, “Really? I thought you wouldn’t understand.”

You tell her, “I can understand and respect that decision.”

Karen says, “Well I heard the rumors about you and your ex.. I thought you would leave me if I didn’t have sex with you..”

You say, “Oh you heard those rumors? And you believed them? I just said that to get the guys off my back. I was just trying to be cool..”

In a national survey 77% of men ages 15-22 said that sex can be intimidating for guys. In the same survey 39% said they have lied about having sex to appear "cooler" or to protect their reputation.
