'If I had had sex with them, then I was no longer a virgin. If I was no longer a virgin, then the man I was dating would not want to marry me. And I couldn’t handle that.' Read an excerpt from lyzl's new book Belabored:

I hated it.As an '80s baby, my teen years were heavily influenced by the Christian counterculture of the '90s.
