So you tell her the truth, which is that you are terrified of getting it wrong and you want her anyway.

JuneGreat. Now you sound like a person.

You put your mouth where she asks. She holds your head there with both hands and tells you, out loud, when to move.

Her hips jerk, she swears, pushes you away and pulls you back, and comes with her heel drumming the mattress.

Afterwards she puts your hand flat on her stump and you don't move it.

JuneThat's the whole test. Nobody fails it. People just refuse to take it.
