Cortland 15-year-old Nick Fletcher found himself in the back seat of his girlfriend’s mother’s van just after his first attempt at fingering girlfriend Andrea Benson at a movie theater Friday night.
The fingering, which occurred at approximately 9:36 PM, did not go well, according to both Benson and Fletcher, who sat in silence in the backseat of the car during the ride home, each staring out the window and paying no attention to one another. Mid-trip, Benson’s mother asked if everything was all right, to which both parties responded with a flat, “fine.”
Disgusted nearby moviegoers said Fletcher made his move midway through the film.
“Yeah, he was much too obvious about what he was doing, everyone saw it. And he was way too nervous about it too,” one said.
“It was obvious he’d never done it before,” the man who sat directly to Fletcher’s right said. “I almost wanted to help him out, but I figured that would have been weird.”
Benson, who tolerated Fletcher’s uneasy, anxious genital strokes for four minutes, eventually turned and whispered into Fletcher’s ear, “Speed it up or get your hand out of my crotch now.”
Emasculated, Fletcher removed his hand and watched the rest of the film in a state of dejection and embarrassment.
“He’s definitely never touched a vagina before,” Benson said. “And I don’t think he was ready for it. I should have stopped him before he got the chance to start. I don’t know if he’ll be able to look me in the eye anymore.”
Fletcher admitted he made a grave mistake in pulling such a move at the theater. He added that he’s often felt sexually intimidated by a few close friends, who often boast about having much more experience then himself.
“I didn’t know what I was thinking. It was a public place and I just couldn’t loosen up,” he said. “I didn’t know whether to be discrete and do it while watching the movie or focus on just her so I could respond according to her reactions – I don’t know. Please, just don’t tell my friends about this.”
Fletcher’s humiliation only increased as he was relegated to the backseat of Benson’s mother’s van. The musky smell emitted from Fletcher’s fingers was not commented on by Benson’s mother, who really just did not want to ask.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever go on a date with Nick again,” Benson said after she reached her home. “Right now, my inclination is no. I mean, I feel like he just wants to use me to get all his early sexual experiences out of the way. Plus, he definitely got a boner from seeing that blue chick in Avatar. I don’t know if I can deal with all that angst.”
