Don't know if I can even continue watching this. That scene just annoyed me so much. This girl is having sex presumably for the first time with someone she cares about and she's acting like it's a tedious chore which does not provoke the slightest hint of pleasure or any emotion whatsoever, and we haven't even reached the point where she is weighed down by Christian guilt yet! I mean who are they trying to fool into believing that girls don't enjoy sex? Themselves? If sex were that unpleasant our species would have petered out long ago. At this point, the film makes a virtual psychotic break with reality, changes locale to Christian LalaLand and dismisses all but the choir to whom it is preaching. What an incredibly lame scene.

That aside, a lot of women aren't orgasmic until later in life.

Oh really? Ok, I'll keep watching then. That scene seemed so tone-deaf to me. I assumed it was a "Christian thing".

If it makes any difference in your opinion of the movie, Vera Farmiga (who directed and starred in it) isn't religious and said she never made the movie to be on one side or another.

and... i believe even later than that to him directly in the car when he chokes her from being upset after she basically blasts him for not being able to satisfy her and just talk to her in general etc.

My impression of that scene was that she is a virgin and first time sex for a female who has never been penetrated before can sometimes be painful and not very enjoyable.

The girl was about 15 in that scene. It was her first time. She was a thinker, a writer and an observer, not some ditzy love-struck dolly-girl, or a sexually experienced adult. I don't think it had much, if anything, to do with the the size or shape of the guy's genitals. He also wasn't switched on as to what was going on for her which one might put down to his adolescence. But perhaps in some ways, he stayed there.
