Dirty Girl
Like Adam, Lilith was raised from the dirt. They say mud because the human mind is limited in what it can conceive. Lilith, the shadow on the heart of all women, the dirt. So despised by Adam and God, Lilith was cast from the Garden. They say she fled, maybe the very first case of where Man blamed the victim.
Lilith loved her body, herself (all women) and men, fearlessly stealing the seed of single men in their sleep. In high school, boys saw two kinds of women: Eve, who they wished to marry and Lilith, who they wished to fuck.
Again, Lilith cast from the Garden.
The power, the heart, the soul, the shadow of all women. Lilith, the first dirty girl (get the pun?) and the standard for all dirty girls since. If a man is human enough, God enough to accept her on her terms, he will be blissfully happy.
For others, there's masturbation, sometimes with help.
