Lynn’s Story:

I used to think partying was so much fun.  I’d get drunk with my friends and even though I didn’t always remember what we did, there were always jokes and stories the next day.  Then I became one of the jokes/stories; only I didn’t think it was funny anymore. 

After a long night of drinking, I passed out at a party.  The only thing I remember is this guy I barely know coming into the room and kissing me.  He was kind of hot, so I didn’t stop him.  The problem is, when I woke up several hours later, my clothes were off and I had no idea what had happened.  The guy was long gone by then.  I honestly couldn’t remember anything beyond kissing him.

The next day, a friend came up to me and was teasing me about what she’d heard.  Apparently this guy was telling everyone how “wild, hot I was in bed.”  I was a virgin before this happened and I wouldn’t have willing had sex with this guy, but I don’t remember what happened.  I wish I had never gotten drunk that night.  When I started doing shots, I had no idea I’d end up worrying about pregnancy, STI, and my reputation.
