Did Pen have sex with Paul on the rocks?


No one has addressed this question on the board. Do you think Paul had sex with Pen on the rocks when she got nude and laid on the rocks and invited him over to her? When they get home that evening, at the dinner table, Pen seems significantly content and she stares at Paul funny, although he avoids her glance and looks distracted. Then, when her father asks how her day was, she says that she enjoyed her trip greater than she expected or something along these lines. When she leaves the table, Pen taps the table with her fingers in a cheery way. She gives plenty of hints that she's feeling over the moon, whereas at the beginning of the film she's more of a wallflower and unexcited about anything.
What do you think?

Absolutely yes. The sex was not shown, I think, because there was no emotional connection between the characters as there was between Harry and Marianne. Sex between Paul and Pen would have been just two beautiful people bonking. Boring!

Is it wrong that I like watching Matthias Schoenaerts 'bonking' in movies ? 🙈🙉🙊

Not at all. Makes you a normal human. :-)

No, she just wanted to annoy Marianne

No.
Her wanting to leave right after shows that she was rejected. She just wanted to get under Marianne's skin. Also after her dad leaves her room she looks rather sad/on the verge of tears for a second, after having told him a minute before that she had the time
Of her life and was ready to leave.

Previously known as college dropout kid.

Yes she did. That explains why she protects him at the end and does tell the police that he killed her father.
