Griffin Dunne, a real team player!

Okay, I am not entirely sure if that segment was real?

Does it strike anyone as strange that she wanted to take care of her virginity with a "friend" BEFORE meeting up with her boyfriend?

Wow, Carrie at 16-17!!!!

I don't think it would seem all that strange to you if you were a woman. Adolescent girls hear all kinds of horror stories about how painful and otherwise unpleasant their first time will be. Since the first time is so likely to be mediocre-to-awful for a woman, I think a lot of women, given the choice, would rather get it out of the way with someone they like and trust but don't have a romantic attachment to. Then the "real thing" can actually be pleasant.

True enough.

Nothing is as it seems, nothing is just one thing and nothing is ever just over there;

It was the 70s, as my old man would say.

"Oh yeah, the 70s...everyone was doing everybody. Good times baby...."

What strikes me is that she thought so lowly of herself she chose a creep like Griffin Dunne to do it.

Carrie was a very insecure youth as her last recent book The Princess Diarist explores and reveals.

Hence why she slept with human vomit like him.
