No sex?" He looked at me in disbelief. "Well if you can't have ze sex, what can you do?" For the sake of simplicity I took my left arm and lined it up just under my collarbones. "Nothing below here, " I said. I took my right arm and lined it up to my knees. "Nothing above here."" What about your armpit?" he asked. "Can your boyfriend do anything he wants to your armpit?" I thought about it. Armpits seemed pretty harmless. "Yeah, " I said optimistically. "My boyfriend can do anything he wants to my armpit."" This is good, " the Frenchman said. "He can stick his penis in and out of your armpit, and if you grow hair there it is almost like vagine." Is it too late to change my answer? I wondered, pulling a cardigan over my bare shoulders and covering any hint of an invitation. . Elna Baker
About This Quote

In the context of the original quote, the word "well" is a casual way to complete a sentence, and in this case it indicates a polite response to a question. In the context of the second part of the quote, it indicates agreement with what was previously said. No sex… sounds like a question after all! The idea that sex is something that you can do only when you're in love is a stereotype. It's true that many people do not enjoy having sex when they're not in love with their partner.

However, there are people who have healthy sexual relationships when they're not in love with their partners. There are also people who like to have sex with people they're not romantically or sexually attracted to and who do not feel any emotional attachment to them whatsoever. I did not believe it was too late to change my answer.
