Foreword

Maturity is more than physical development-it's also a state of mind. Here is a tale of a physically mature but sexually innocent tomboy not quite nineteen years old who, after spying on her best friend, discovers the wonders to be enjoyed with the opposite sex. The friend-despite her sexual experience and voluptuous body-turns out to be less sexually mature than our inexperienced heroine, who becomes the trailblazer as both girls explore their sexual coming of age.

What is meant by innocence? Innocence and ignorance are not the same. Even after being initiated into coital rites by a trusted friend, Kimberly-our tomboy heroine-could be said to be innocent. When she is attacked by two neighborhood bullies and realizes how strongly arousing is her hard athletic body to men of all ages, she is innocent no longer. Using her newly-learned erotic skills, she has her revenge on the two who ravished her, and gains

Yet, her basic feminine instinct sensed that there was something about her that made men want to touch her-made them want to do things to her. Embarrassing, carnal things. Was it her pretty face and blond hair? Her long-legged, coltish build? Or perhaps her breasts, which were small, but were beginning to show signs of a fuller womanliness soon to come?

As much as beginning to discover boys, Suzanne was discovering herself. An innocent bath one morning turned into an experience that excited her curiosity about male and female bodies, and sex. And the erotic rhythm of riding a horse brought her to the realization that she was subject to sensual forces that she could not easily control.

Suzanne couldn't find the nerve to "let go" around boys, but she couldn't leave them alone either. At night she had to put up with raw sex taking place right under her nose, as her sister and the hired man became like barnyard animals when the moon came out Soon it would be Suzanne's turn....

And there would be Kevin, and Randy, and Sharkey and Ned, and....

In the end, Suzanne learns that often, with sex, the more you have-the more you may want And that-although it doesn't matter where she does it or with whom she does it-she's happiest doing it with the one who loves her the most....
