Hal's conscious goal of lifetime virginity (contra Orin)

texture · 11 Nov YDAU, supper

When: 11 Nov YDAU, supper
What: A defining sexuality fact: "Hal is maybe the one male E.T.A. for whom lifetime virginity is a conscious goal. He sort of feels like O.'s having enough acrobatic coitus for all three of them." The passage sets this against recalled Orin history — Orin's womanizing "Subject" chart-journal, and the girl Orin loved "and Himself had compulsively used in films" before she "had been disfigured" (the Joelle backstory). Positions Hal as deliberately abstinent, defined against his priapic brother.
