Born into a stifling family where neither sex talk nor the slightest profanity was tolerated, Jan Clausen underwent an intellectual and sexual awakening, first at Reed College, and later on the streets of New York City, where she discovered a passion for other women. Fast-forward a number of years, Clausen moved herself to Nicaragua, where she discovered a newfound freedom - including the freedom to fall in love with a man. Here she muses on sexual fluidity and identity, coming to the conclusion that human intimacy is beyond labels.
