From Sex, Life, & Hannah::Volume 1, Spring Season (CHAPTER 13: ORAL FIXATION)

After Nisha has finished her coming-out toast, in which she gives a detailed account of her journey to becoming a lesbian, Ireland and I are rubbing elbows with all the lesbians and lesbinas in Nisha’s inner circle. I’m becoming privy to things like: my first lesbian experience was with a prostitute; in seventh grade, my best friend and I would have sleepovers and touch each other’s private parts; when my husband still couldn’t find the clitoris after seven years, I knew it was over; I’m married, but we’re polyamorous.

“Poly-what?” I ask the girl to my right in the gunmetal-grey silk jumpsuit.

“I have a husband, a lover, and a girlfriend,” she says in a casual tone. “My sex is very demanding. I need them all to keep me satisfied.”

Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, the idea of poly-anything was something associated with “those people” in Utah. My parents didn’t have any gay friends, and extra-marital affairs immediately cast you out of their inner circle. Of course, by the time I got to USC, bisexuality was all the rage—but I didn’t think it was a choice. I always believed that you were either into pussy or you weren’t.
