‘It was the first
time I’d had sex
with this girl I was
into, and I was on top of
her when I felt something
dripping out of my nose. I
realised I had a nosebleed,
and it landed on her cheek.
I was so embarrassed,
especially because I really
liked her! I had to stop our
hook-up and get her toilet
paper to wipe my blood off
her face. Mortifying!’- DANIEL, 29 #
(^4) ‘MY BOYFRIEND
AND I ONCE WENT
AWAY TO THIS COSY
B&B. THE PLACE HAD
AN OLD-STYLE BRASS
BED... AND SOMEHOW,
WHILE WE WERE
BA N G I N G AWAY,
MY HEAD SLIPPED
BETWEEN THE BARS
AND GOT STUCK. WE
MANAGED TO GET
ME OUT OF IT, BUT MY
NECK WAS SO SORE
ALL WEEKEND THAT
IT PUT A BIT OF A
DAMPER ON THINGS.’

‘I am a musician, and
my songs are mostly
about love and sex. One
time, I had an important
show, and I started with
a song about a one-
night stand that ends
with Give it to me
rough. Little did I know,
my parents had flown
to Miami to surprise me
and ended up standing
next to my BF in the
audience. The moment
I saw them, I gave them
an apology shout-out
from the stage, but they
did stand a little farther
from my man for the
rest of the show.’- RACHEL, 20

2 ‘I was on my way home
from work when this young
guy walked up to me and told
me I have nice feet. I took it
as innocent f lattery. Then he
started talking about how he
photographs for this blog, how
I had a “great look”, and how
he would love to take a quick
picture of me. I thought he was
talking about a fashion blog,
so I went along with it. He
asked me to sit down and put
my foot up on a bench. I asked
him what his blog was called.
I found out later that it was a
foot-fetish site!’ – KATRINA, 233 ‘I was hooking up with this
guy who I wasn’t really into. So
one night when someone I had
a crush on started f lirting with
me, we went back to his place,
and he mentioned his roommate
was home. Turns out, it was the
dude I was originally hooking
up with! Yikes!’ – LAURA, 196
‘One time, I locked
myself out of my
apartment, so I called
the dude I was seeing
at the time to help. On
his way, he was pulled
over and arrested for
having a suspended
licence! Plus, his car
was towed. I ended up
getting back into my
apartment on my own,
bailing him out of jail
and paying to get his
car back. Did he ever
pay me back? No. Did I
learn my lesson? Yes.’- KITZIA, 28

7‘I MET THIS SYDNEY BOY IN TOKYO AND
WE WENT BACK TO HIS AIRBNB. I HAD MY
PERIOD BUT WAS LIKE, “I DON’T CARE IF
YOU DON’T!” I TOOK OUT MY CUP AND WE
HAD SEX AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT
WHEN I WOKE UP LATER I WHIPPED BACK
THE COVERS AND THERE WAS A MASSIVE
