I am a 15-year-old kid who lacks self-esteem, self-confidence, and just plain good looks. I’ve spent my entire life without a kiss from a girl, and even spent a year thinking I was in love with my sister. My right hand is in extreme pain from the amount of whacking I do, and I’m looking for some advice on how to get off my ass and go get that girl. The thing is, girls just don’t seem to want me. I even have a hard time talking to girls. Can I get some advice? –Boy in Need of Sex

Here are a few more perspectives you may or may not find comforting: That crush on your sister? That sometimes happens to straight boys. You hit puberty, your sister hits puberty, and suddenly she’s a strange new animal, barely recognizable, and soon you’re thinking some mighty discomforting thoughts. But then the ol’ reliable incest taboo starts whispering in your ear–“She’s your fucking sister, you fucking pervert!”–and you snap out of it. If you didn’t get your sister pregnant or wind up with a creepy incest fetish, BINOS, you got through it fine.
But take heart, BINOS, because your awkward/repulsive stage will pass–just like that crush on your sister did. While you can’t hurry the process along, you can prepare. Here’s how: Worry less about getting your 15-year-old self laid and more about getting your 18- or 20-year-old self laid. Join a gym and build yourself a body that girls will find irresistible; read a lot so you’ll have something to say to the girls you do attract; and get out of the house and do shit–political shit, social shit, low-stakes shit–so that you’ll meet different kinds of girls in different kinds of settings and get comfortable talking to them.
