Squeaking back and forth on top of a half-deflated pool float in a backyard shed, my fifteen-year-old boyfriend and I were soaking wet and groping each other frantically. After dating for five months and making out in the deep end of my best friend's pool for five minutes, we decided: We were going all the way. Greg's trunks were already around his knees, but he'd been tugging so wildly on my wet bikini strings that they were tied into impossibly tight little knots. Just when he had the brilliant idea to push aside the damp strip of fabric between my legs, we heard giggling outside the shed door. The other party guests were onto us. As usual, we were left unfulfilled, blushing and shaking with the kind of brain-melting horniness that seldom strikes past age 18.
Most of my teenage trysts were just as clumsy and ultimately frustrating, but they were unfailingly memorable. Looking back, there's more than one aspect of those underage experiences that I'm eager to relive. I long for a hot and horny encounter that's just as frantic but nowhere near as fumbling; just as unpredictable but a lot more pleasurable. At 30, what I want is a hormone-fueled high-school hookup with a fully-grown man. I bet the woman in your life feels the same way. Use these instructions to treat your next date as if you were once again getting lucky in the back of your parents' sensible station wagon. It will be hot, I promise.
STEAL THE FIRST KISS
My friend Anna will never forget the time her high school crush grabbed her hand at a school dance and led her into a dimly lit hallway. "He didn't say a word, just pressed my body up against the lockers, and before I knew what was happening, he was sucking on my bottom lip," she remembers. "My knees wobbled for the rest of the night."
Ten years later, it's become standard behavior for Anna's dates to wait until the end of the night to politely lean toward her for a goodnight peck. Boring. Remember that women of all ages want to be wanted and I mean really wanted. Anna's advice: "Grab me around the waist and plant one on me, damn it." What's important is that you go after that first smooch with gusto - put some pressure into it, open your mouth a little and do it at a daring, instead of glaringly obvious, moment. Kissing her in the middle of the date is what will deliver a thrill straight to the base of her spine. It's risky, yes, but the payoff is worth it.
