When Helen catches Gerry....


...In bed with Lydia (my fave scene of the film in fact) She says "You really shouldn't just stop like that, set a woman back three days doing a thing like that" What did she mean by that?

I, Know you appear, Vivid at my side, Claiming you feel, Love fiery enough to prove flesh real

Lol not sure if you're joking but obviously means stopped before she climaxed so makes it harder for her to orgasm next time :)

reply

I wouldnt know that either because I've never had one!
So like the other person asking, it's not obvious no :)

To set someone back just means to delay something, for example "i was doing really well with my diet but that take-away meal set me back a week" meaning it's at least another week until I get on track again.

I can only assume that in this case she means because the woman didn't get her orgasm, it'll take 3 days to get back to that state of mind.

She's talking about her menstrual cycle.

No, she isn't. Not having an orgasm or having an orgasm has absolutely NOTHING to do with menstrual cycles.
