Maybe just...give him a couple days. He's pretty thrown for a loop right now.

...I wish I hadn't been so harsh when I told him.

Well, I wish I hadn't done any of this.

...Yeah, your timing could've been better on that. But you know, at least you did tell him. I think he still didn't really...get it. Until then.

Mm. But you did. So.

He's...naive. Extremely naive. It's frustrating.

...I know.

I had to define BDSM for him the other day. He asked me if I was making it up.

...Ahah—what, seriously?

Good lord.

Then again, this is the same guy who thought whipped cream was taboo.

I'm also about 90% positive that he doesn't know that it's possible to perform oral sex on a woman, and 100% positive that it's never occurred to him to try even if he is aware of it.

No way. Really? Really?? I swear I thought I mentioned that to him. Vaguely. Maybe. Or possibly only slightly alluded to it...

Maybe I didn't. Huh.

Oh Usopp.

I really think there's very little he is aware of. I'm pretty sure someone explained to him at some point that this part goes in that part and that's where babies come from, but he probably didn't know anything beyond that until he joined this crew. And...George tends to get embarrassed about communicating her desires, so he may not even know much more than that now.

The bottom line is that at some point, someone is probably going to have to get him a few books on the subject.

...Yeah, he didn't. He knew that part, but not how to get there or what to do or what would feel good or how to not be embarrassed about it all... THAT was an interesting conversation.

As for anything beyond your normal EXTRA BASIC...yeah. Books would probably be good. Fuck, I'm glad I grew up at sea.

I don't think I even know what constitutes "extra basic" knowledge on sex. I don't remember not knowing what a blowjob was. But he's such a nervous wreck about some things that I'm surprised he ever lets anyone touch him at all.

The whole this part goes in that part bit. Although...come on, how could he not know about oral, it’s not like George didn’t—I mean, you’d think he would’ve figured out it could go both ways!

Yeah, that's probably a lot of why it took them so long to get as far as they did in the first place.

I've noticed that a lot of things that seem obvious to you and me are apparently mystifying to him. I know he's not stupid, but...well, I don't know. Perhaps it's something to do with the way he was raised. Or perhaps these things would be obvious to him if he could bring himself to think about them.

I don't have much patience for the willfully ignorant, which is another thing that frustrates me about him, regardless of his reasons.

He's just...a different breed. Different mindset, different beliefs. He probably would've waited until he was married to do anything if...I dunno. But he feels like that type, you know? You fall in love with someone and you stay in love with them for the rest of your life.

...

Yes, he does seem like that type.

...Do you think you guys are going to work this out? He says...George still won't choose.

I don't think she can. It's not that she won't; she just...can't make a decision.

...I think she's hoping that we can somehow work it out between the two of us, which is just about as unrealistic as us waiting for her to make up her mind. We're stuck. I don't know what to do about this.

Can't, won't. The result is the same.

Geez.

The bottom line is that I don't think this is going to work unless someone throws in the towel, which isn't going to happen. Where does that leave us?

Apparently it leaves all of you being miserable. So. Have fun with that.

Right. That's what I thought.

I'm at a loss, man.

Not that you need me to come up with answers.

No. We need to come up with answers. It's just that none of us have any idea what the answer is.

Well. Good luck.
