Anne: Well a lot of it seems obvious to me. It was kind of like the summer of sex and fun I never had. It's true that I like the smell of men, especially when they're sweaty, it's kind of embarrassing but there are worse things I guess. I never told anyone except you, just now. I bet if I looked on the Internet I could see if other women like that sort of thing too.

As for the sex, well I've always wondered what it would be like to have sex with other men - and women too apparently. I got married so young. The main thing though is the fun of it. Sex with my husband is always so intense and it seems like it could be, should be fun and passionate too, you know, not so serious. Is that what they call recreational sex?

Luxana: Human sexuality comes in many forms and has lots of names and labels. It sounds like the natural healing part of your mind that helped form those dreams was telling you a lot about yourself, maybe the seeds of which you were aware of, but never watered, so to speak.

Anne: Well, I'm not dead yet and I haven't let myself turn into a whale or a witch so it just might be time to talk about this stuff with my husband. I love him and he's more understanding and tolerant than me, maybe there's a summer like my dream in my real life's future. Maybe there's a Hippy Johnny and Darla out there for me, for both of us, if Carl doesn't freak out. This experience has really opened my eyes and I feel so much less jaded and resigned to an unfulfilled sexual life.
