The sex.


Okay, I'm not really a sex-expert, I'm actually a nerd...and I was in "shock" when Florence and Roger had sex in her house for the first time. What the hell was that, they don't even knew each other and bam...sex happened, well not exactly sex but still. Is this how real life works aswell? You just met someone and on the exactly same day you're having oral sex with that person? I mean, is it really that easy?

As a 21 year old non-nerd...yeah man, sometimes it is that easy. Especially with hipster chicks. Occasionally I'll meet a girl, pick up a vibe, and make a move randomly later. It rarely gets turned down, although I'm sure this will change as I get older.

Then someone falls in love, and someone's beaten up, and the senses being dulled are mine

I guess if a person uses sex as a cheap thrill because thier life kinda sucks then yes it is that easy. I've noticed women who didn't have good father figures are a lot easier than those that did. At a certain age women's bodies want them to get pregnant whether the woman wants to or not. So, yes this happens and I'm sure it would be fun up to a point, BUT if one did this over and over it would I think leave a lot of ppl feeling kinda cheap. And it was kind of interesting that the sex scenes were kind of bland in comparision with like the romance sex scenes which are impossibly hyped up, like say the Top Gun sex scene or something with all the music and lights and and silk sheets n crap.

U douche,that seems is completely unrealistic

Or maybe, just maybe, women can actually enjoy having sex without being committed. Well, there's a thought!

It happens quite often--never met a woman who didn't love at least the idea of just laying back and being worshipped in that way--but not with so little foreplay! Which is probably why Florence told him to stop being a train. You have to kind of work around the general area at first and be firm but not scary, preferably from outside of her clothing. And if she's comfortable, she'll guide you from there. But remember that few people care for surprise inspections, especially one so intimate, so put yourself in her place and don't be so eager. Just be upfront and blunt about what you want, and if you're any good at it, she'll tell all her friends, and they'll tell all their friends....

Tip: Always maintain that you're no master at this and are eager to learn. Plenty of willing teachers out there.

No, this is not the norm. This is why they're called "movies". Hollywood just wants us all to believe that everyone is sleeping around, and it's fun, easy and safe. While one night stands can (and do) occur, I'd say they rarely happen outside of club or bar settings (where there's lots of alcohol and other substances.)

Florence works for Roger's brother; this is her job. It was very unrealistic for them to immediately jump into oral sex.

Most of the responders to your question obviously have no idea about what REALLY happens. I'm sure they're telling you what THEY have experienced as reality, but I'm assuming they must be A) married B) dorks or C) both. I applaud you for the honest question and I think you deserve a sincere and truthful answer.

Yes. Dating life today often includes first date sex. No. It's not difficult or rare. No. This behavior is not restricted to bar-hoppers or clubbers. And, no. It doesn't matter if you're 21 or 51. It's simply a characteristic of these modern times. Girls/guys today are firm believers in instant gratification, which means they are also more direct. Why do we date in the first place? Sex. Why do we work out, buy expensive clothes, wear six-inch heals and make-up? Sex. Why do we all wanna be rockstars & runway models? Sex. Why BS about it?? Most of the single life is devoted to finding someone with whom we want to have SEX! So, it should be no big surprise that folks who are looking often, often find what they're looking for.

I pity those folks who opine that first date sex or one night stands are somehow low or "cheap." They must have had some really sucky dates. (or...not.) But the people who think this kind of thing does not happen often or regularly are also the folks who think their spouse would NEVER cheat and Oswald was a lone gunman.

OH, please, get over yourself. I too applaud the OP for his/her honest question, but you are not the only "voice of truth" here. People who say it is not normal are also being truthful, and they are not just married, or suckey date people, in denial and some of them might even be conspiracy nuts who are easily duped into believing anything (like conspiracy theories).

People who say it is not normal say that because in their crowd of friends, relatives, children, etc, this is not normal. People who say it IS normal have friends and relatives who do this kind of thing, so to them it's normal. People are different. Period.

To me it looked a little strange and sad, because one) there was no foreplay at all, two) he didn't tell her how pretty her breasts were and they ARE pretty and three) she didn't enjoy it. At least she stopped it which was good. I say sad because when girls feel good about themselves, usually they require dating and time/money/attention (good effort) put into the relationship before they are intimate. I say usually because that's where I am coming from.

Blah blech blog (barf). You must be as fun in bed as you are in writing!

Gross!

The only excuse is if you are 14 years old, which your writing suggests, and in that case then you are forgiven :)

Donut, as I live and breathī¬
Where have you been Donutlover? I love seeing you appear and hope you're up for some fun :)

The poster above seems to have some "misogynistic issues" him/herself. Funny how that is projected onto others, right? OMG here we go again with a whole MISOGYNY argument (sigh!!)
IF it's a dude, he feels so inadequate and insecure that he can't bring himself to compliment a girl on her body. Hear that's common these days, where guys have to be coached into saying nice things to a woman. What happened to chivalry? It drowned with the horse in the puddle. Anyway, like I said, it's immature and stupid to not be able to tell a person (male or female) that they are beautiful.

If it's a girl, then the close mindedness of thinking that everyone must think and feel exactly like you do, or they are "misogynistic". Oh, boy. Reminds me of another poster on another board, I'm sure you know who I mean!!

the word "normal" has two meanings:
1. Normal as in "a social norm" - the norm in society is to wear clothes at the office, not going naked on the street, or wearing a bikini at the beach.
2. Normal as in "healthy" - it is equally healthy if you're wearing bikini or not, at the beach, in the office, on the street.

you trying to impose onto others your subjective and restricted understanding of the word "normal", is bad, and you should feel bad. Period, as in "menstrual cycle", not period as in "a length of time".
