Penny seemed either awed or startled at this particular moment, Elsie couldn't tell which, but regardless she was still slightly amused by the whole thing. Someday when she had daughters, she would have this discussion with them before imaginations could wander too far.

Unable to help the little chuckle that followed Penny's question, Elsie had to really think about how to answer it. "I don't know exactly," Could she explain it without giving away how she knew? Would Penny judge her if she did spill that she'd been intimate with someone before marriage? Guess they were about to find out. Would she be able do it without blushing terribly was really the question.

"But when you're very close to someone you care about and your bodies are touching, everything kind of changes." Elsie wasn't exactly sure she could describe specifically what it felt like, simply because she was sure it was different for everyone, but also she didn't have words to explain how wonderful it felt. "It's exciting and it feels, well, good. Men's and women's bodies are meant to fit together, like I said. It's how you conceive a child or if you're very careful, just for fun." Not that Elsie was going to start advocating for premarital sex, but in certain situations, like hers, it wasn't the worst that could happen.
