Why I Slept Around: A Memoir of Promiscuity & Emotional Hunger

Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity

Kerry Cohen

Kerry Cohen’s memoir, *Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity*, isn’t a story about sex. It’s a raw, unflinching look at what happens when a young girl uses her body to fill an emotional void. Growing up in a seemingly perfect middle-class home, Kerry felt invisible—her mother consumed by her own grief, her father too distant to notice. So she discovered a shortcut to being seen: her body. Every encounter was a desperate bid for proof that she mattered, that she was loved. But the feeling never lasted, leaving her more empty than before. This video breaks down the psychology behind her compulsive behavior—the 'glass wall' of emotional disconnection, the double standards that branded her a 'slut,' and the painful truth that promiscuity is often a symptom of deeper wounds, not a sign of liberation. You’ll understand why she kept running back to strangers, and what it really takes to break the cycle.
