Line 48:

26-year-old Sarah Jo babysits for a family of two parents, Heather and Josh and their son, Zach, who has [[down syndrome]].

Sarah Jo lives with her single mother, Marilyn, and sister, Treina. Marilyn has had many husbands and one-night stands, and has a somewhat pessimistic view on love (and men in general). During a discussion about love and male attraction, Marilyn advises her daughters to ask a man she admires, “Do you find me beautiful?”

The next day, Sarah Jo and Josh are alone in the family’s laundry room when Sarah Jo asks Josh if he finds her beautiful. Josh becomes flustered, and Sarah Jo lifts up her dress to reveal a scar above her vagina. Sarah Jo informs Josh that she had an emergency [[radical hysterectomy]] at age 15 which caused her to go into menopause by age 17. Sarah Jo tells Josh that she is a virgin, and Josh responds by saying that she wouldn’t want to lose her virginity to him. After some awkward rambling from Sarah Jo, Josh approaches Sarah Jo and asks if he can kiss her. Josh and Sarah Jo kiss, and Josh asks if he can go down on Sarah Jo. Josh performs [[oral sex]] on Sarah Jo and takes her [[virginity]]. Josh [[ejaculates]] quickly and becomes embarrassed. Sarah Jo reassures Josh, and he fingers Sarah Jo.<ref name="THRFeature" />

Line 54:

The next day, Sarah Jo returns to work and sneaks up on Josh in the attic. Josh tells Sarah Jo that they cannot have sex again. Sarah Jo lifts up her dress to reveal her scar again. This turns Josh on, and the two have sex again.

Sarah Jo and Josh take a road trip to rural New York. The couple stays in a cabin while the two lie about their whereabouts; Josh claims to have a friend commitment, while Sarah Jo blames her absence on a family emergency. During the excursion, Sarah Jo and Josh consume [[Psilocybin mushroom|hallucinogenic mushrooms]] and smoke [[marijuana]]. The two have sex repeatedly and watch porn together. Josh gives Sarah Jo a necklace. Sarah Jo goes home and continues to watch porn. She becomes interested in a porn actor named Vance Leroy, who frequently compliments his sexual partners on camera and is a kindred, spiritual person like Sarah Jo and her family.

When Sarah Jo returns to work, Heather’s water breaks and she goes into labor. Sarah Jo calls Josh and leans down to comfort Heather, who notices Sarah Jo’s necklace. When Josh arrives, Heather demands that she be taken to the hospital via ambulance. Josh, who has now realized that the affair has been revealed, screamsbreaks atdown and claims that Sarah Jo meant nothing to him. It's revealed that he has cheated many times, even once trying to flee the country with a fling. Josh screams at Sarah Jo, who leaves the house.

Distraught, Sarah Jo writes a letter to Vance Leroy about her sexual exploration, believing that her somewhat awkward, imperfect sex with Josh was the reason Josh betrayed her. She creates twoan alphabetical checklists of sex acts she wants to try and wants to avoid, including "[[anal sex|anal]]" (try), "[[oral sex|blowjob]]"(try), and "[[necrophilia]]"(avoid/not interested). Excited to complete her checklist, she engages in a short series of casual hookups. One fling, Arvin, works in porn and promises to deliver her letter to Vance Leroy. Meanwhile, without her job babysitting for Josh and Heather, Sarah Jo is depressed and anxious about not being able to sexual please her future partners; she believes her imperfect sex skills render her incapable of being loved. Later Vance responds to her letter with a video that Arvin brings to her, and his words reassure her. She takes a job looking after a girl who has cerebral palsy, and invites Arvin back to hang out. They have sex as a montage of all of Sarah Jo's sex (ranging from awkward, to sweet, to fiery) plays.
