You write, "If we dont tell her, who knows where she will get her info". Well, I am of a a generation where parents barely spoke to their kids about sex at all, and most girls kept their sex lives secret out of fear of looking trashy. Even still, we all managed to figure these things out on our own through the course of normal experimentation with our partners.
I think it is kind of sad that anyone would want to take such an intimate activity - which is meant to bind two people together like no other activity could - and cheapen and degrade and trivialize it by making it seem NORMAL for 17-year-olds to act like porn queens who are experts at providing pleasure to men, but do not require reciprocation. In case you hadn't noticed, no one seems to have considered that she isn't asking how much pleasure should be provided by the guy...
