When I was a young teen in the late 80s, I had a small book that was an anthology of stories - like Alfred Hitchcock or Twilight Zone type of stories. I remember one story in specific:
A man who was down on his luck and trying to find a job kept going to this guy in the slums to sell his memories for cash. Eventually, he sold the memory of the girl he lost his virginity to, but changed his mind and demanded the memory back. The guy said it didn't work like that and he couldn't filter out one memory from the other - he just sells them to someone else who does that. The seller insisted at gunpoint, however, and got numerous memories back. The twist at the end was that, during a job interview, the guy appeared to have TONS of memories from other people - both males and females, with no sense of his own identity anymore.
There were several other stories in the book, but this is the only one I remember in detail.
