Timeline also matters. I am also a virgin…But I know about sex ed too…bcoz we literally have the resources right at our hands, we can literally just search about it and learn. But they don’t have any resources like that. The top has learnt sex ed too. But in those times, foreplay wasn’t a thing in royal families, they didn’t care if the receiving one is feeling pleasure or not, they were just learnt what they need to make babies. So the top had no idea even about Kiss! And the bottom just heard from local ppl…but u can’t know details just by hearing a bit…And they were also two men - so they have even less idea. So no one was ignorant here at all.

Ykw…that’s literally how first time should be(not necessarily painful, but messy and inexperienced)…They both have no idea how it should be done with an another man, and they don’t have ideas about foreplays too…so their first time makes sense…well after a few chapters we will see their 2nd time, and it will be perfect and they will do enough foreplay too lol
