The Celibacy Project

How I Finally Learned to Keep My Heart Open and My Legs Closed

After losing her virginity at the age of 17, Allie Borden began to have a lot of sex with a variety of partners, earning her nicknames ranging from "The Female Tucker Max" to "Allie Whoreden." Ten years later, she decided it was time to take a break because Plan B was getting expensive. So she declared herself celibate for three months and blogged about the experience. For the next 12 weeks, she analyzed every aspect of her promiscuous past from her early days as a sorority slut to her casual sex-filled twenties. She took no prisoners but dropped a few names while dissecting the life of a single girl in the city of Chicago. Written with candor, humor and humility, the posts ended up drawing thousands of readers who followed Allie's very raw and real journey of self-exploration and now they're available in book form.
