    What's your boyfriend's name? Craig. Where is he now? He's in Florida. In Orlando. Where'd you meet him?

    Working at the Oscar Mayer plant in Madison. We were both working there for the summer.

    What did you do at the plant?

    I made turkey bacon. There was an assembly line, and there are big logs and they chop it up and put it on paper and?

    Tell me what the big "log" is.

    They're 30 or 40 pounds of meat, probably as tall as me and skinny like a piece of bacon.

    Did you see it before it was in log form?

    No. That's what he did. They take the white meat and make it look like fat, even though the point of turkey bacon is that it's low-fat, and make the dark meat and that's the meat part? They sent him frozen animal parts and he ground them up. I don't know if he made turkey bacon specifically, they [also] make logs that they cut into cold cuts.

    Are you the same age?

    Yes.

    He had a girlfriend when you met him. You broke them up?

    Yes.

    Were they a happy couple and you destroyed them?

    I feel like they weren't happy if he was with me.

    How far did you go when he had a girlfriend?

    We had sex.

    How long were you dating, before you decided to have sex?

    We weren't really dating because he had a girlfriend.

    Okay. For how long was he cheating before he decided to be with you?

    [When] I worked at Oscar Mayer, nothing happened?

    Did you feel tension over the turkey bacon?

    Yes.

    Did he come visit you at the log line? And you went to the grinding section?

    I usually found him in the break room. [Then] I went back to school, we started emailing and then I found out he had a girlfriend. He came to see me, and we had sex the first time I ever hung out with him, basically.

    Did you know you were going to do it?

    I guess I was thinking about it, but I didn't know for sure until I got in the situation.

    What was the situation?

    It was Halloween, and I was dressed up as a bumblebee, and I invited him to a party? We ended up going into the bedroom and fooling around.

    Were you in costume?

    Yes. I might've had the antennae off at that time, I don't really know. And then the next day, we walked around a little bit, got coffee. He dropped me off at my house, I invited him up and that's when it happened.

    Did he know you were a virgin?

    Yes.

    What did he think about that?

    He was like, "Whoa, shit, are you sure you want to do this?"? I think he was a little uncomfortable, but he asked me about it and I must've sounded convincing.

    When did he break up with his girlfriend?

    January.

    Did you have sex with him between Halloween and January?

    Yes.

    How did you feel having sex with him knowing that he was going back to her?

    Honestly, when I first started?I didn't know how much I liked him, and then I started liking him more. And then I felt shitty about it?

    Have you been with anyone else?

    No.

    Do you think you'll be with anyone else?

    Not while I'm with him.

    How was the first time?

    I was definitely having fun, but I wasn't mentally with it enough to have it be that enjoyable for me. I don't remember it hurting. I don't remember bleeding or anything like that. I felt like we had scorching sex for the first year and a half, and now I feel that we?kind of [hit a] plateau. We're less adventurous than we were.

    What do you define as adventurous?

    I guess the standard. Different positions and toys? I've never spanked him or anything like that.

    Do you think he wants to be spanked?

    I don't think so. We've discussed things and looked at sex toys together? It's open enough that he's had many opportunities to ask me about it.

    Having lost your virginity to someone who was cheating, are you worried about him as a cheater?

    I was, for a long time. That was something hard to work through. I was angry because he was a dick to her.

    Is he a good boyfriend?

    Yes. He's a really good guy. He understands me like a lot of people don't, he's really in tune with my moods and my feelings on stuff and he's a good talker.
