The time has come for me to write of the devirginization of my dear protagonist Carol. As my own virginity-loss was unmomentous and unmemorable and not with a 40-something-year-old bereaved father, I feel like I am sitting here in T-birds writing soft core porn. BAD soft core porn.
I had a basic understanding of what went down (or up, as the case may be) during the act of sex when starting out. Carol, my protag, is 18 in 1964, Catholic, so I am making the assumption that she knows nothing or next to nothing. So I have Philip being rather instructive (placing her hand on his penis, explaining the process, telling her they can stop whenever she wants). She's just nodding her head. I don't know if this is how I want things to transpire (this is a first draft and a shitty one at that) but in the interest of being factually accurate (I don't have any reason to believe she'd be a tiger in the bedroom or that Philip would be harsh). My other option would be to make her not a virgin--maybe she had sex with some dumb boy and felt badly about it--but I'd rather have the tense virginity loss scene.
Ugh.
This is alternately fun and painful. Bleh.
