Quote 7

That night while we lay in Aldo's sweltering kitty-litter-infested room I told him: I want you to do it to me.

He started unbuttoning my pants. [Aldo:] Are you sure?

Definitely, I said grimly.

He had a long, thin dick that hurt like hell, but the whole time I just said, Oh yes, Aldo, yes, because that was what I imagined you were supposed to say while you were losing your "virginity" to some boy you thought you loved. (1.2.1.48-1.2.1.51)

When Oscar loses his virginity late in the novel, the circumstances aren't perfect either. But Oscar's experience is a lot more fulfilling than Lola's. Lola doesn't enjoy her first time at all. She only pretends to. Yikes.
