Instead of writing another fiction story, Wally tells the shocking truth about his many sexual experiences as a teen. Includes short scenes by many other writers, who are credited in the text. Starts with a sci-fi soldier in the far future, but most of the story happens in the 1970's US Midwest. - - - CAUTION - View and understand the story tags/codes before reading!
