How I Did Not Lose My Virginity, by Amanda Stern:

[Editor's Note: Amanda Stern is the author of "Scout's Honor," which appears in Love Is a Four-Letter Word]

I was the type of teenager who, in a fairly successful bid, acted tough to thwart my deep-seated fear of - well, most everything.  Part of acting tough included big talk. As a big talking teenager, I exaggerated my experiences in less successful attempts to thwart participation in the very activities I claimed advanced expertise. To be clear: I was a bit of a liar.  In "I Never," the popular drinking game where one drinks only IF they're guilty of the dirty truism I was consistently drinking. According to past games, by the time I was 15 I'd: had sex on a gynecologist's table, done acid, made out with a girl, spent the night on a park bench in Washington Square Park, been chased down the street by a knife-wielding mugger and had sex with two brothers. I'd done none of those things, but pretending brought me an immense amount of street-cred with my naïve 9th grade colleagues.
