The Virgin Project

The Virgin Project is an illustrated collection of true stories about first-time sexual experiences, told as comics pages. The stories were collected from real people by Seattle artist KD Boze and Montana artist Stasia Kato over a period of three years at various locations. The names are changed to protect privacy, but story sources are encouraged to furnish their current age and occupation. The variety of stories includes everything from teenage experimentation to wedding night nerves, including the humorous and tragic, gay and straight - all of them different. The introduction is by Ellen Forney, a professional cartoonist/illustrator/author and college instructor.
