“I haven’t masturbated in months because I’ve lost my imagination. I close my eyes and I see my father, little girls, german shepherds and TV news commentators, but no voluptuous, pouty lipped, naked-female, sex kittens, wincing in ecstasy from the illusory positions I’ve conjured up in my mind. No, when I close my eyes I see lizards and flipper babies, the ones who were born deformed because their mothers took bad birth control pills. I’m seriously afraid to touch myself.” —
