I was at a party last night with my friend B. B is a very smart doctor and wears a tie to work every day and is very prim and proper, except when he talks about sex, when he is so dirty, so unremittingly filthy that I am going to have to censor him heavily for the purposes of this slightly edited and embellished reenactment of our conversation.
Chiara: [winding up a long incoherent boy-related story] So, yeah. I don’t know. Not worth it. Boys are just not worth it.
B.: Oh, I know.
Chiara: Hmm. What’s going on in your boy world lately? How’s…
B.: ..the drug dealer?
Chiara: Yeah, him.
B.: Not seeing him anymore. He’s fun, but not that bright.
Chiara: Well, right.
B.: But he was [long richly detailed reminiscent description that I can’t reproduce in print], though. Mmmph. Shame to let that go.
Chiara: You dig that, huh?
B.: Oooh, yes.
Chiara: Huh. I’m not so much into [something that is totally not your business]. You know?
B.: Well, what are you into?
Chiara: [long, richly detailed description of something that is also totally not your business].
B.: Ew!
Chiara: Oh shut up, girl. You are so prissy.
B.: I am not, I just know what I like.
Chiara: Everyone knows what you like.
B.: Well, what about [obtruse technical term that I can’t get into right now]. Eeesh. I just can’t imagine.
Chiara: Never done it.
B.: WHAT?
Chiara: Never even kissed a girl.
B.: [blink]
Chiara: You seem surprised.
B.: I am shocked.
Chiara: I know. Everyone always is. Is it the comfortable shoes or the devil-may-care attitude?
B.: Don’t worry, dear. It will happen one day.
Chiara: Yeah. I guess.
B.: Wait a minute. Are you..?
Chiara: …heterosexual?
B.: I don’t mean to pry.
Chiara: No, no, girl. No harm in asking.
B.: So…are you?
Chiara: I guess. I don’t know. I mean, I like girls, I dig girls and am totally attracted to girls and think they’re hot and get along real well with them in general, and I’ve even fallen in love with a couple of girls, but it’s not a sex thing, you know? Like, I’ve never felt that sparky feeling with a woman. I don’t know what that means.
B.: I think it might mean you’re not gay.
Chiara: I was talking about this with my friend Rob when he was here and he told me that if I’m going to be a lesbian I have to date girls.
B.: He kind of has a point there.
Chiara: Maybe.
B.: Don’t feel bad. I don’t think that means you’re not queer.
Chiara: Oh, yeah, I know. Definitely. Sometimes I’m a gay man in a woman’s body.
B.: I’ve noticed. What are your feelings on [something you should be ashamed for even thinking]?
Chiara: I can see how it works in theory but I’m not sure if the laws of physics allow for it.
B.: Use your imagination.
Chiara: Girl, I am, and it’s blowing my mind.
B.: That’s not the only…
Chiara: GIRL. Hee. PLEASE.
B: Seriously, though, what’s the problem? I mean, you’re lovely and funny, you’re very vivacious, and you’ve got a great rack if you like that kind of thing. I’m sure there are lots of straight men who would be willing to [something he knows nothing about], at least on a casual basis.
Chiara: I know. Straight women and gay men love me. Anyway, I’m not really into super straight guys, you know? My ideal guy is, like only 51% straight. Like juuuust straight enough. He’s also tall and has an accent, a really big vocabulary, and severe emotional issues. If past experience is any guide.
B.: Well, if you ever find him and he’s into [I think it’s illegal in Utah], ring me when you’re done with him.
Chiara: Yeah. As soon as he breaks my heart and leaves me crying in the rain? You’re the first person I’ll text.

Oh my god this made me laugh.
Straight women and gay men love me.
This is so my life. But with straight men wanting to talk to me about women a lot.
Also, Rob is at least partly correct about having to date girls if you’re a lesbian. I’m saying partly because I’m a lesbian and don’t date much.
You are too much! I don’t think you have to date girls to identify as a lesbian – I met a woman once who politically identified herself as a lesbian, but identified her sexuality as heterosexual. I thought that was really cool.
I volunteer to be your first girl makeout, please!
Bitch! I saw her first!
