My new girlfriend is about to unleash a side of myself that's wilder than I've ever before seen. I'm just a little bit late to the party when it comes to my sexuality. Growing up, I was what you might call a closeted lesbian, and it took entering into college to break me out of my shell as far as that was concerned. I suppose I should be considered a fully grown adult now, but my squeamishness when it comes to sexual matters has remained largely intact for some time now.

Up to this point in my life, I've always considered myself as straight as a damn arrow. I've always been a popular girl, and I'm currently dating a well-endowed stud who regularly plows me in his bedroom whenever I feel like it. But lately, my interest in sex has been changing slightly. I don't know if it's the stress of getting ready to start my first semester of college or what, but I'm finding my erotic thoughts have been gravitating toward females more often than not, and I'm not sure what exactly I should do about the fact.

I'm traveling across the country on a bus, going to see my girlfriend Stacy who goes to school in another state. But, here's the thing - I actually feel no real attraction to Stacy whatsoever. In fact, I'm secretly gay, but I was brought up in such a strict environment that I've never really been honest with myself about it. I'm mostly dating Stacy to keep up appearances more than anything, and prior to my departure, I made the stupid mistake of taking a bunch of arousal medication to get me ready in case intimacy takes place when I get over to her place.

I'm about to experience my very first ever alien probing.... My love life kind of sucks at the moment. I'm in a relationship with a devilishly attractive college classmate, Kyle, who, by appearances, is everything a girl could want. With smoldering good looks and a brain the size of a planet, he should by all means be more than enough for me.

When I first arrived at my mother's reception, I never imagined that I would meet the most attractive man I had ever seen - dark hair, piercing eyes, and a lazy, confident smile.... There was no way I could resist him. I certainly never imagined that I would be having mind blowing sex with him in the art gallery upstairs. I never, ever imagined that my mother would make an announcement on that very same night that she had gotten married to his father. Of course, I was devastated. I could certainly never be sexually involved with my stepbrother....

Reading can give you a pretty dirty imagination if you're not careful.... Lindsay's always been something of a shy girl. She's 18 and a virgin, and not at all ready for her induction into the hyper-sexual world of college life. For whatever reason, she's always found the idea of sex with men intimidating. And although she finds women attractive, and is a lot more at ease in the presence of a female, she's never really come to consider herself a lesbian, either. Her introduction to her own sexuality, then, comes when she happens to discover a book series of erotic literature and finds herself fascinated by it.

I was on an innocent enough little weekend camping trip with my boyfriend Mark. Or, well, maybe not so innocent, because halfway through the first night the two of us are boning inside our tent, and I'm having my lights pounded out.

I got kind of a late start in terms of my sexuality, and lately, I've been sleeping with just about any guy who comes along. I've kind of given up on finding "the one," as they say, and just started focusing on screwing my nights away. I'm sleeping off a particularly bad night one evening, when suddenly, I'm abducted by two absolute sexpots of aliens, and everything changes dramatically.

Being a single mother is not an easy task. I thought when I got married that things would stick, and that I'd married the man of my dreams. I didn't expect to be running around on my own with two kids trying to get them to and from day care and practices, and all sorts of different things.

A large part of why I work so much is because I want the best life possible for the two of us, and as I'm leaving the office late one evening, I try not to let myself feel too bad about it. That is, until suddenly I'm kidnapped and thrown into a van from right off of the street, and taken to an unknown facility scared out of my wits. When I next see light, I'm in a vacant brick room with a dirty concrete floor. And it just so happens that my kidnapper has some very sadistic things in mind for me....

I'd spent all my life hoping to be an astronaut, and now that I actually was one, I was feeling alone, disillusioned, and sexually unfulfilled. And that's when I was abducted by an alien spacecraft....
