Excerpt:
"It's just -- well, I want it to be good," she confessed. "I guess I mean I want to be good at it. But I don't know what I'm doing, do I? I don't even know if I like it. I mean, I know I like Ron well enough. I l-love him. But, well, sex."
She tossed back the rest of her firewhiskey, then abruptly slammed the glass down on the table.
"If I could just know!" she burst out. "If I could just try it once with someone more experienced than, well, Ron. Then I would know if I like it or not, and at least I wouldn't have to worry about that on top worrying about whether I'm doing everything wrong!"
