Are young men really so disgusting that they have to lead large parts of their lives in secret, or are we being cowardly about the whole thing? Doing It is an attempt on my part to chronicle a side of that culture, sexually, emotionally, psychologically, and of course, humorously as well.
Finally it is exactly because of the sort of self-righteous, crushing reactions of the Fines of this world, and the damage they can do to young poele trying to enjoy and have fun with something, that is, after all, a major part of all our lives, that made me want to write the thing in the first place.
This is a letter she sent to me round about the time the book was published. Your characters were so like them I began to wonder if you and I were in the same gang, in which case you probably snogged my sister. Everybody else did. My best friend was a typical Jackie who ended up marrying and divorcing a Dino.
Intelligent, tubby Imogen eventually got it together with the best -looking boy on the block because she was more fun to be with than us. Oh — and at least three of the pupils at my sunny suburban secondary school where having it away with members of staff. Sam Carey was screwing the geography teacher at the tender age of fourteen, Jean Sellers was knocking off the P. And he was a choirboy.

As far as we were concerned, foreplay was fab. It felt nice, it was free and it was much more fun than maths homework. Not could we be fingered by the law unless our boyfriend happened to be a policeman, which one of them was.
Yes, boys broke our hearts, but they soon mended. Yes, boys said horrid things, but we were just as horrid back. Nobody died though. Just for the record, none of came from broken homes, none of us were abused or were familiar with social services.
We were just regular teenagers behaving like … well … teenagers. It was joyful, fantastic! Sometimes, like adults, we did it for love.
Or because we needed comforting. Or because we were pissed. Someone had to. Meet you behind the bike sheds at break, yeah? Lots of problems, lots of sex talk but it all adds up to a great and true-to-life story.
Deno is an outstanding character — thinking he had everything but suddenly having it ALL taken away — bless him! The climax oops! The other couples in the book are equally real and cleverly bring out important issues that need to be thought if not talked about — not judging by appearances, that character counts more than size and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in.
