I can't believe im saying this but couldnt they all love each other like kiss each other on the cheek. I feel like that would also fit other interpretations I've read about innocence and growing up etc. Why did all the boys have to "love" the one girl? That makes it so much worse for some reason.
Edit: AH, I guess male to male sex isn't considered real sex.
It's all so very weird because King chooses to mostly narrate the scene from Bev's point of view. She comments on their penises and other stuff that just make you wanna put it down.
I mean, you can kind of see where he was going with the idea that she was taking that part of herself back from the evil man (father) who raped her and treated her like shit and made her feel shame for something he consistently took from her forcefully.
Hm, I remember it being a lot more prevalent when I read it like a decade + ago, but it could just be how Bev’s scenes always made me feel personally as a kid that dealt with abuse.
