About This Quote
The author is stating that if a girl had sex in high school, it wasn't because she was truly interested in the other person. The author's statement is based on the assumption that sex has to have a certain level of desire or desire for another person. If it doesn't, then the girl just can't be interested. The author compared sex to something out of a book. In his opinion, the only thing that really matters is the story and not the characters or their feelings.
