I thought you knew me better than that.
Just thought you'd realize that I always cover my bases.
The point is obviously not that a guy expects a girl to be extremely "out there" their first time having sex, but on the other hand when a girl tells you during that first time that she doesn't "go down" (EVER), then that's just being prudish. At that point in a relationship you need to run, not walk, away from the relationship that you haven't invested a lot of time in because you almost certainly know the sex won't be good. There is a hell of a lot more to a relationship, but things like this help rule people out fast.
I can admit the prudery there, but then isn't it the responsibility of the male not to stay in that relationship? One of the best things I ever learned from sales training is that you can't be mad at someone for something you never told them they couldn't do. Exact meaning doesn't apply, but I think we can extrapolate fairly easily.
And, the fact remains that while there are definitely prudish American women out there, and we probably do have more than the average country, it isn't true that every American woman is prudish. You're missing a few steps out of your proof there.
