Simply.

I have touched myself.
I’ve eaten a popsicle
with dirtier things in mind.
I know my body intimately.

I’ve thought about myself with other girls.
I’ve thought about myself in a threesome.
I’ve been aroused by complete strangers.
I feel I’d be open to most kinks
Or fetishes
My partner might want.

I know how to use a condom.
I own personal lubricant.
I know how to get birth control.
I know where to go to get tested
For STDs.

I am a virgin.

I am not abstaining
Nor am I driven by sex.
I am not confused
Or ignorant.

Simply—

I am taboo.
