Recently I read that, when asked how to judge if a sex act has been successful, teen girls list as of primary importance whether the boy enjoyed himself. After that, the markers of successful coupling included: if her body presented as attractive; if nothing embarrassing happened; if the boy contacted her again afterward. Maybe I should have been shocked that nowhere on this list appeared: if the girl enjoyed herself; if she experienced pleasure; if she achieved orgasm; if she left the experience with the desire to repeat it. But I wasn’t shocked, or surprised, though I did sigh and shake my head and feel so, so sorry—sorry for the girl I once was that my own pleasure and safety weren’t priorities to me; sorry to be part of a system that creates girls whose bodies seem to belong to everyone but themselves.
