She Slept Around All Summer. Here’s What She Discovered
Throughout most of her college career, Kirsten might as well have worn an invisible chastity belt. Most people probably believe she’s not the promiscuous type, but that’s not true. There was a handful of moments in her life when her drunk alter ego found herself in peculiar situations. And while she initially wanted to pat herself on the back for such conquests, she realized the implications of her actions would be sending a whole lot of negativity her way. She suddenly realized what the heck she was missing out on in college. Through engaging in relationships with all different types of people, here are the things she learned:
Why is it if a man sleeps with multiple partners, he is regarded a master in the boudoir, but if a woman does the same, she is called a tramp? Does the double standard that promiscuity only benefits the male persuasion still exist?

A woman should never feel guilty for something she has or hasn’t done with a man. A good rule of thumb, if you even think you will have “buyer’s remorse”, you probably will. A good man will call you no matter what DOESN’T transpire.
As we travel through life, we might take a lot of wrong turns to finally find the right path. Bad decisions don’t make you a bad person. What they make you are smarter the next time around. Making mistakes helps us decide what we will and won’t tolerate in relationships. Men, just like women, need to make a few wrong turns before they find the right way.
