Jennifer Clement grew up in 1960s Mexico City living next door to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. It was a bohemian childhood alongside artists, communists, revolutionaries and poets, one that, thanks to her markedly absent parents, allowed an awakening of a creative freedom and curiosity about the world. Passionate about dance, Clement left behind the revolutions in Latin America and took up a place at dance school in New York City in 1981. She quickly becomes a fixture in the art scene of the early 80s inhabiting the world of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Colette Lumiere, and William Burroughs, among others, and frequenting The Mudd Club, Danceteria and Studio 54. From the author of Widow Basquiat, this memoir recreates the fury, ecstasy and danger that made ?70s Mexico City and 80's New York two of the greatest places to be living, young and free.

Also, there were no big worries or taboos abouthaving sex before getting married. Most people just thought thatpeople who had sex would eventually get married. The term "premaritalsex" was created as an alternative to the word "fornication,"which was often used to make moral judgments and had bad meanings.Also, the idea of having sex before getting married was closelylinked to the idea of being a virgin and the social approval of that.During that time, "virginity" meant not having a sexual relationshipuntil marriage.
