[FM] This was a defining experience for me.

The point of this is to post the entire transcript of my conversation with my dad from when I was a freshman in college. I was 18 at the time, and reading this now I can’t believe how innocent and annoyingly naive I was.

Anyway, the background is my dad and I were and are very close (but not in a weird incest-y way, before you ask.) My family is from Lebanon, but we moved to the US when I was three. My mom is more conservative, wants me to cover up and the only non-relative male I should ever talk to should be my professors. My dad is the complete opposite, believes sex is healthy and essential. I took after my dad.

My dad is a therapist and has the habit of transcribing our conversations, some therapist tick he can’t help himself from doing. Recently he gave a case-ful of the transcripts from that time to me. It used to annoy me that he would do that, but now I’m glad he did, The vast, vast majority of the transcripts were of non-sexual topics, the below is not indicative of all our conversations. This conversation started when my dad found a shirt of mine thats says “Slut” on it and he wanted to know its origins.
