I suspect my thoroughness is exposing me to more of it than people who play quicker.
And I still have a very good idea of how I could go about having sex without hurting myself, because I know how to do everything else without hurting myself.
EXACTLY.
You figure it out like everything else, and unless you're Ace you've probably given it a hell of a lot of thought by the time you're in your late teens. Hell, I suspect a LOT of what a partner needs to know ('cause, really, they're the ones that need training) comes up in other situations, first -- case in point, when I had my bf read that last chapter of Star he said it made him think of me teaching him something, and I was "What? I've never had to do that -- there's nothing specific to sex." But apparently I had taught him about certain areas of my right leg* Not to Touch Under Any Circumstances, and it's just so normal for me I forgot.
*It doesn't hurt, I've got permanent nerve damage there, and it feels fuckin' creepy.
EDIT: I'm always up for hugs. The only bright light of this whole thing has been the chance to connect with other people affected by it -- I don't think I realized how nice it is to find people who Get It, before.
