Well, I think you’re wrong. Yeah, she’ll probably keep having sex. for whatever reason motivated her in the first place. No, she probably won’t get any pleasure out of it. You may not fully realize that a lot of women really don’t get \*\*any \*\*pleasure at all from missionary-style intercourse with no extra stimulation or anything, especially with little or no foreplay. And that’s probably going to be the case with two 13-year-olds.

Noo, we are in complete agreement about that. I wouldn’t even try to discourage a 17-year-old from having sex. I would try to discourage unhealthy relationships, but that would be regardless of sex.
