1. Her ex was GROSS. 2. I think I'm getting to THAT age where the constant harping on "virginity" irks me. Do me a favor y'all, google "hymen" and learn something new. 3. "I initiated you" is probably meant to have romantic connotations, but I percieve it as condescending. Last time I checked, sex was a team effort. Do me a solid and be upfront: "I will offer you alcohol to relax you" TL;DR I think I'm getting too old for this.
nothing to do with age, I'm 20 and I've felt that the virginity, shyness and naivety in female character was a constant reminder of purity culture for years, since i first started really reading romance when i was around 9
