Whats it all about?

  • Losing our virginity…it happens to almost all of us, no matter who we are or where we come from. How did it happen for you? Ever wondered what other people think and feel about this never-to-be-repeated experience? And how much more do we learn as we grow up? I am on a mission to find out. Follow my journey as I collect stories from as wide a selection of British people as possible. From men and women, old and young, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim and Catholic, from the funny and the sad, to the happy and occasionally, the unbelievable. How do I find people to interview? Why do they talk to me? I am in search of the truth. Come and join my adventure.

Post me a secret..

Outlet

I love this website.

Postsecret is living proof that the simplest ideas are the best.
Post a secret.

It is that straightforward.

If you have never checked it out, I suggest you do so at your earliest convenience.

Postsecret reflects much of what I enjoy about my work here at the Virginity Project. There is so much that we want to say…that we don’t. And it doesn’t have to be hilariously funny, or desperately sad. It is the minutae of life that can make us smile or sigh.

And that is what I love most about your stories, the small details that speak volumes about your lives. The little things that indicate so much about your surroundings, your thoughts and your feelings. We forget about the simple stuff.

To this end, tommorow I have decided to stop and smell the roses for a day. Literally.

I am going on a family day out to look at roses. Perhaps I have the urge to commune with nature. Maybe its because it’s the summer solstice. Either way, as before, the pleasure is always in the details, not the facts.
