Beneath the Surface: A Teacher's Descent into a Secret World of Sex and Debauchery I am a first year teacher at a poor urban school. The administration is unsupportive, the kids are delinquents, their parents don’t care, and I’m started to get burned out with teaching. Despite the insanity of working at this school, nothing has surprised me more than my white, middle class coworkers. While maintaining the external appearance of sweet, church-going women, they are secretly slutty, cheating, uncontrollably horny nymphomaniacs. This is my story of how I became subsumed in their underground culture of sex and perversion: My first few weeks at the school were fairly normal (crazy and hectic).

There’s always room for improvement…” Strange. “So…do you like to party?” “Yeah. My husband and I got a little crazy sometimes in college.” “Ever party without him?” “Not really, unless it’s just hanging out with my girlfriends.” “We always have a lot of fun when we leave our hubbies at home…” After a month, they started inviting me out for drinks at the bar or dancing at the club. They liked to get a lot wilder than I expected. Drinking and dancing was never really my scene, but it was nice to have friends at work so I always went along. My husband was a little jealous of all the time I spent away from home, but he understood my need for girl time. My colleagues slowly began exerting peer pressure during out clubbing adventures. …and then things took a turn
