This is a true story. For confidentiality, I have omitted the names of locations, and changed the names of people involved.
BACKGROUND:
Halfway through my undergraduate degree, I decided to go overseas for a year of academic exchange, to experience a new culture and environment. I was excited to meet new people, and create new experiences while venturing outside of my comfort zone. At the time of this story, I was about 20 years old and I had been dating my boyfriend Jacob for 2 years. Overall, Jacob and I we had a very healthy relationship and were very happy with one another. Sexual compatibility was our one pitfall at times. I am a very horny and sexually explorative person, whereas, Jacob enjoys sex, but he doesn’t need it on a regular basis (After a week without sex, I’ll usually get sexually frustrated. Whereas, Jacob can easily go two weeks without any sexual contact).
I chose the school location of my academic exchange based on the environment and culture, rather than its academic prestige. In my home country, I was a relentless student who worked hard to maintain a high grade-point average (GPA), so that I could later attend graduate school once I finished my undergrad. The exchange program would allow me to “take a break” for 8 months and enjoy myself, more, as the exchange grades would only appear as “Pass” or “Fail” on my university transcripts. Read more »
