She'll teach him how to "round the bases," but they absolutely can't fall for each other! Jamie Thorne grew up deeply religious but now that he's getting his PhD in religious studies, he's rethinking everything he ever knew. When he meets Agnes Brightly in a grad school seminar, he also begins to wonder what it would be like to give into the lust he's been feeling lately. For the first time, he's ready to kiss a woman and hopefully do so much more. Agnes Brightly needs to focus on school, not the very hot and very innocent Jamie Thorne. But when he confides in her that he's a virgin and wants to learn how to have sex, she finds herself devising the Virginity Game-- four lessons where she will teach him "the bases" and then they will just go back to being friends. After all, she's not interested in a relationship, especially not with someone who is still struggling with what it means to walk away from the only world he's ever known.
