The first time someone told me I should be "tight," I was sixteen and had never been touched by anyone but myself. I was sitting in the back of health class—the kind of health class that teaches you about STDs but not orgasms, that shows you diagram...

They used to stop us. Said it was dangerous for a girl to know too much. Said softness and silence were enough. That the pen didn’t suit our hands and the book would spoil our minds. We weren’t allowed to read. Not out loud. Not alone. Not in front...
