I'm 50 now. You go through so many stages in life. I was also so free, fun, and easy. I was really only embarrassed later about the promiscuity because I thought the guys that fooled around with me judged me like I was a slut.

I remember I ran into one of the guys while he was out with another girl, later, way after we had had sex. He said hello to me in the creepiest way, like I was The Scarlet Letter or something.

But that was only a very short phase of my life.

After that, there were relationships with boyfriends. Then I got married. We had children.

There were times I would think back to those fun, easy days and feel like I'd give anything to feel that alive again!

You can become whatever you want to, grow, change. There's no reason to beat yourself up.

Also, many years later came Facebook. All those guys resurfaced! Not one ever said anything tacky to me about anything. Certainly no reason to carry baggage about it. They, too, probably look back and remember it as the time of their lives!
