In light of svsss volume 4's recent release, I want to talk about the first extra - more specifically, the sex scene in it. I genuinely don't believe that Binghe is bad at sex - the sex itself isn't good, it's not comfortable for them or us, but none of this is specifically his fault.

First, let's talk about how we got here. At this point, it's been about a month since the events of Maigu Ridge and the subsequent start of their romantic relationship. Regarding this time, the novel says: "And while they'd been fairly intimate...Luo Binghe had never done anything too forward." After the fight is over and Luo Bingge leaves, it's Shen Qingqiu that suggests they "do some exploring." Luo Binghe is anxious enough about hurting him again that he suggests Shen Qingqiu tops - a suggestion that is rejected.

Then, the actual sex. Both of them take steps to initiate and prepare and don't jump straight to penetration. They use lube, and that alone should get them (Binghe) extra credit points. Luo Binghe gets permission before taking things farther, checks in with Shen Qingqiu, and even tries to outright stop at one point. He's perceptive to what he likes and immediately puts that information to use.

So what goes wrong? A few things are important to remember here. 1) They're both virgins who don't know what they're doing. Like it or not, this scene is realistic. I know society likes to paint first times and sex in general as something magical and intuitive and easy, especially in media, ESPECIALLY in this genre. SVSSS is many things - tragedy, comedy, satire - but a vital aspect of the story is its ironic subversion of these same genre tropes and media perceptions. 2) Shen Qingqiu is not good at identifying his own feelings, much less communicating them. When it hurts, he turns his face away from Luo Binghe rather than telling him. A large part of the discomfort and pain he experienced was a result of their difference in stamina. But he never communicated that he was tired, or that he wanted to stop. Additionally, we're still reading this through Shen Qingqiu's narration - his own pleasure isn't something he likes to dwell on. The more pleasant parts are described in vague terms, and if/when he finishes, it's glossed over.

Both of them did everything right with the experience and information, about both themselves and each other, that they were working with.
