I actually think Linda was a .............


Virgin

She fudged her answer on how long it took for Doug to climax and she had no idea how much climax a man gave up. I think she played the part so as to seem cool

I'll just stand over here being happy

I thought the same thing.

It looks a bit sweaty in there so you may need to apply baby powder Zapp Brannigan

Even Stacy's facial expression after hearing Linda's tears letter to her BF toward the end of the film, looked as though she knew it was all BS

reply

Thats my impression, too. Her college boyfriend is probably fictional. She made everything up and lead her friend astray.

reply

In the tv series it was revealed the she made the whole thing up. but in the movie it's hard to say. She really cried when she got the breakup letter. That'd be a little overboard if there wasn't some kind of real relationship there.

reply

Whether Linda made up her boyfriend or not is irrelavent, she still taught Stacy how to orally pleasure men and that's all that matters. Like the old saying goes: once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget!

reply

There's no way it's bogus---some of it's embellished, maybe; there's doubt as to whether she climaxes always, etc. But Linda's so open, so artless, and so touchingly devoted to Stacy, can you really see such a grand deception? It would mean a MAJOR twist, and there's nothing to base it on. I have a good friend who's exactly like Linda and trust me, they're the real deal. The actual importance of her relationship may be inflated (in her own head). but it no doubt exists. And don't forget, she quickly starts living with her abnormal psych professor. She ain't no virgin.

reply

It was a real relationship obviously, because of the tears, so she actually broke up with someone. Was the relationship everything she related to Stacey and was she as experienced as she let on? Probably not, but I don't think she was a virgin.
I think she really did a number on Stacey, not that it's totally her fault, but at that age what your friends and peers think and say is everything.

reply

There is absolutely no question that Doug was a made-up, nonexistent person.

reply

Then who broke up with her and sent her a breakup letter, which she cried over?

reply

wonder if Stacy ever met him. since they're besties & all.

In the book she isn't and really had a college boyfriend.

However, to an extent she is the female version of Damone in both the book and movie. She plays herself as much more experienced, knowledgeable, and worldly than she really is.
