A woman discovers what it's like to have sex after vaginal reconstruction surgery.
Back in April, I shared my story of having vaginal reconstruction. Of course, a surgery of this nature requires sex to be put on hold for quite awhile, but I promised readers that I would write again when my spouse and I finally gave the new runway a test flight.

"So let me get this straight? You've been a stripper for the past eight years and you've never slept with anyone during that entire time?" Blair, my co-worker at the strip club, asked.
"I know, it sounds really weird," I said. "I just haven't. Maybe its guilt from my Italian Catholic upbringing."
"Kiersten, how is that possible? Come on, that can't be true," Blair replied.
I was embarrassed that at 30 years old I wasn't sleeping with anyone. "It's just that… I've kind of been saving myself for Ryan. Just because I'm a dancer doesn't mean I should give it … Read More
