From Isolated Nerd To Active Teen
- Jake was a socially isolated nerd in middle school who moved and became miserable, diving into fantasy novels and video games.

- Jake describes a college dorm hookup where he was intimidated and froze during a sexual moment, learning later how to handle it better.
- That embarrassment taught him sex often requires improvisation and calm recovery, not perfection.
