That is absolutely what it comes down to. Even if he were a complete neophyte when it came to sex, Joan could teach him what to do. She can't teach the attention and dedication and love that he pours into every intimate moment they have together. It is deeply and immeasurably important, and so very precious to her. And she hopes the same is true for him, that her love and care and dedication make him feel just as valued as he makes her feel.

The question makes her blink a little, though. "Casual sex?" she asks. "No. Not at all. What we have...it's so full and rich, it makes everything else shallow by comparison. There's nothing to miss. You give me everything and so much more."
