I was totally the kid in school who had no idea what sex was. I had a general idea that it involved naked people kissing, but that was about the extent of it. Naturally, this led to many a stressful conversation in the locker room where I'd be laughing at jokes filled with words and concepts I'd never heard of in my life. Figuring out the actual mechanics of sex was like a big film noir mystery that I had to solve piece by piece, sniffing clues out of every dirty joke and lewd comment my hairier classmates made.
So I love the idea of the adult who never really figured it out at all. I think he's the guy we're all afraid we're going to turn into when we're kids.
