The author describes a time when an adult man offered to pay to look at her breasts when she was a ten-year-old. Later, she and her sister confide to their mother that two of their father's adult cousins had touched them inappropriately. The author became pregnant at 17 when her boyfriend pressed her up against a wall while she was trying to leave his apartment, lifted her skirt, and initiated sex with her. The author specifically states that she felt that he didn't force himself on her. However, since she didn't really even know what sex was at the time, and since he didn't discuss what he was doing to her and blocked her exit as she was trying to leave, others may feel differently. When she is seeking acting lessons, a person who is interviewing her stares at her breasts and then tries to force a kiss on her. The author discusses her friendship with Bill Cosby, and how he never touched her, but not necessarily in a way that dismisses the women who have spoken out against him.
