Their First Time

Choreography is not a word I'd usually apply ('blocking' would be more to the point) but this show was pretty damn well CHOReographed. I mean, you gotta do SOMEthing to make four people sitting on stools for 90 minutes talking about their sex lives - interesting.

So there's this Web site that invites people to submit their stories about the first time they had sex. I just now went there. They're about to hit 50,000 stories, and although it's clear some have been deleted, still.....I tried to hit a couple numbers I THOUGHT I remembered from the show, but no. Number One is pretty funny, and as I wondered why it wasn't in the show I realized there were literally tens of thousands that couldn't.

You know what? Not once during this entertaining piece did I think about my own 'first time' ... rather, I empathized with the stories, I got all involved with the counterplay of humor and reality and sometimes really tragic circumstances that accompanies sex 'the first time'.....the weight that sex, the act, the meaning, the circumstances, all of it. My own 'first time' didn't seem all that - sexy.

"Some guy's bunk bed" was, yes, mine.

Everyone was very very good; Jessica Cavanagh was simply amazing. there was maybe a bit of 'sameness' in the group's repeated breathless Oh.My.God.This.Was.So.I.Can't. Believe.It.Awesome.Ness. but ehhh, who cares, in the long run, it worked.
