Experimental writing and deviant behavior

I am 16 and I am alone with him in my bedroom. It is just me and him. He touches me softly with his long, strong fingers gliding across the surface of my skin, his breath warm and real near my ear. He kisses tenderly my lips, my ear, my mouth. Slides my shirt over my head, the movement coordinated with his breath. Then his fingers slowly dances on the bottom of my jeans with hesitation. Will she let me do this? he must be wondering. My wordless answer, a movement of my hips Yes, yes, always yes. He slips off the jeans, the underwear, and then on top of me, his solid body, the weight of him, his movement, all so real, all so there Our movement together. Proof, I think again and again to myself. Proof of being worthwhile. Proof of being loved.

In sociology today we discussed the notion of deviant behavior and how it's defined in many different ways. Statistical Deviance can be defined as describing any action or behavior that is different from the norms of a society. An interesting topic that was brought up in class was the culture that we live in now. For instance the acceptance of binge drinking and premarital sex. In fact individuals who do not engage in these activities is example of statistical deviance. Interesting or Redundant?
