The chapter opens with a soliloquy by a young woman named "Pat" . She tells us that she is a "slut" and that she has been having sex with a lot of men. She says that one of the reasons she has had sex with so many men is that she wants to be a "good match" for them. She also says that when she is "ovulating" , she often wants to have sex more with men than she does with other men.
