7: It's Not What I Thought.
Kim's been having sex since he was 14. He's at college now and he's starting to get sick of the disappointment he feels every time he's with someone. The casual encounters he's had have left him feeling lonelier than ever.

It seems like everybody makes such a big deal about sex, but it's over in no time and he just feels empty. Usually he can't wait to get his clothes on and go home.
