“Growing up, I’d heard that Israel’s founders said of the Palestinians they forced from their homes to create their state, “The old will die and the young will forget.” But my generation is living proof of the contrary.

“N, still new to me, coming inside and sitting down, me thinking that we would have sex and he would leave and it would be whatever, but instead we kissed a little bit and then started talking and I heard myself telling him, in an unvarnished tone, things I usually conceal very carefully. I heard him telling me things men don’t often speak of, things people don’t usually tell each other. We talked about fear and feelings and alienation and pain, and we did not have sex, and when he left I felt closer to him than I ever had to anyone whose body I had shared.”

“What I think is common is that she exists in a society that discourages her from looking underneath too often; she exists in a society where misinformation about the vagina is rife, where women’s sexuality is discouraged and shamed. It starts early, with the sex education that most of us receive, where there is an emphasis on men’s orgasms and male ejaculation.”
