"The first time I was with a guy, I had multiple orgasms. I think I fell in love with sex."

Sorry to ruin the fantasy for our 16 year-old male readers out there, but this is a lie. The first time she had sex, she did not have multiple orgasms. In all likelihood, the experience was a bit awkward and made her wonder if she would ever fall in love with sex.

"She says: 'Hey, that's beautiful.' You say: 'Thanks, sweetheart. It's a black studded money clip from Burberry. So how much do I owe you for the hour?' Answer: 'For you? It's free.'"

Is this what men want? Free sex with a prostitute because of a money clip? I don't know why I go to the gym.
