Project Rumschpringe

I’ve always had a virgin’s concept of sex. Even now, long after I’ve had my first experience, I tend to romanticize sex as love made physical. Every woman I’ve had I’ve loved in my own way. Maybe it’s not true love, that big love, that storybook love that people die for but I cared for them all very deeply. As a result of my admittedly naive views on sex I’ve never bedded a stranger, never had a one night stand.

I’m Mickey Jinete, and I’ve spent 610 days as an enlisted Marine I’m horrible at my job and I drink a bottle of tequila a weekend and have spent the good majority of my free time for the past 221 days wasting away in a strip club. It’s been 1,068 days since I’ve slept with a woman and 828 days since my last kiss.

I’ve spent my whole life in a sort of self-imposed hermitage. I’ve done my best to avoid trying new things. I’ve been so scared to live my life that I’ve wasted most of it. So here’s to the bucket list, the great adventure of my new life.
