When we arrive at Forever Magazine’s issue launch party, the topic of self-restraint resurfaces. “I’ve given up on men,” a tall blonde woman confides. “No more casual sex.” My friend nods in agreement. I admittedly can’t relate. All this talk of abstinence clashes violently with the tenor of the party, cheekily proffering Americana in all its glorious excess: Beer! Burgers! Hot dogs! Tits! I watch in silence as several guys deepthroat hot dogs. The muted specter of Trump looms from a TV screen nearby. I’m firmly off the wagon but not feeling especially patriotic.
