From Front Porch to Back Seat
Author: Beth L. Bailey
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421412470
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
From gentleman callers to big men on campus, from Coke dates to "parking," From Front Porch to Back Seat is the vivid history of dating in America. In chronicling a dramatic shift in patterns of courtship between the 1920s and the 1960s, Beth Bailey offers a provocative view of how we sought out mates-and of what accounted for our behavior. More than a quarter-century has passed since the dating system Bailey describes here lost its coherence and dominance. Yet the legacy of the system remains a strong part of our culture's attempt to define female and male roles alike.

Pages : 222
Book Description
Growing up in Maine, alone in the backseat of my parents' car, I dreamed of replicating my idyllic childhood when I was older with a family of my own. But, a revolving door of Craigslist roommates and Tinder/Bumble dates following my divorce at age 35 resulted in my adult life turning out to be the opposite of what I expected, manifested by the fact that I still find myself alone in the backseat. Faced with the challenge of making my mortgage payments after my husband left, I posted an ad to rent out my living room. Over the past eight years, I have shared my one bedroom apartment with 71 people from sixteen countries, sometimes four at a time! Thanks to my resourcefulness and perseverance, I avoided financial ruin and made friends from all over the world. Although I have experienced the lows of loneliness and divorce, I am grateful for the many times in my life I have felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Cross cultural experiences living with wonderful families in four different countries and exciting international love affairs have often made my life feel like a movie.

Back Seat of Daddy’s Car
Author: Jessie Carr
Publisher: Zero Tolerance
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Explicit age play erotic story. From the # 1Erotic Short Story Best Selling Author Jessie Carr. DICTIONARY: Age play the act of an adult pretending to be much younger than they are, usually for mutual sexual gratification. Taster. I stood outside the burger place, the chill wind blowing around my bare legs and up the school uniform skirt. If it had just been a bit longer it wouldn't have been so bad, thankfully I only had to wait a minute or two before he pulled up in the car. I jumped in. "Hi Daddy!" I called out, knowing he loved it when I spoke in a shrill playful voice whilst biting my lip. "Hey princess." "Can I have a sweetie please?" "Not yet wait till we get to the park,'' He said using his daddy voice. "Ohhhh." I said back pouting at him. "Put your seatbelt on." He said as we drove off. I pulled the long strap across me and plugged it in. I looked down at myself, I barely took up half the seat. I was so skinny, I didn't care how small I looked, my daddy loves me and that's all I care about. He must've been eager today because he drove quickly and in a few minutes we arrived at the park. He turned the engine off and sat looking down at me. He's big but not massive even so I looked like a pixie doll compared to him. My heart was beating really fast. "Can I have a sweetie now?" He twisted his mouth like he was trying to chew away a smile. "They’re in a bag on the back seat." I put my hand on the handle and as soon as I did he coughed, one of those false coughs that people do to get your attention, I knew exactly what he meant by it, it made me smile, I knew what to do. I undid my seatbelt and twisted my body between the seats stretching to reach the bag at the back. I knew without looking that he was staring at my legs, and my long socks and my skirt was just long enough that he wouldn't quite be able to see my panties but the hope was there.

Riders have jotted down hundreds of fascinating personal stories, some about overcoming adversity, the "Mantra" they've chosen to live by, a major life altering event, the loving words of wisdom from a grandparent, or the way a special someone has made life simply amazing!Most certainly Backseat Inklings includes an inspirational message for each and every reader!
