Freshman year in college I was in my dorm with a good friend I had met that year who lived down the hall. He had just come back from a party and was drunk. I was sitting on my bed and he told me he likes to cuddle when he’s drunk. I remember verbally resisting and him continuing to try and convince me he just wanted to cuddle. I eventually gave in and let him lay behind me in bed. At first he was just hugging me then started moving his hand up my thigh and touched my crotch. I was frozen. My girl friend at the time was out in the hall with other people and I wanted to get her attention, but I was so scared I felt like I couldn’t speak. I don’t know where I got it, but I remember throwing a shoe at the front door to get my girl friends attention. It didn’t work. I rarely tell this story because I always felt it wasn’t worth sharing like other women have had way worse happen to them and I shouldn’t complain.
