There surely will be some variance between the man and girl, how she might be feeling ie what sort of mood might she be in, time of day, month, how many other punters has she seen all add one way or the other!..
sorry for what is going to be a long, and off-topic post. But the emboldened words immediately reminded me of a Peter Gabriel song I haven't listened to in years. So I listen to it. And then look at the lyrics. There is an argument that the whole song is about punting. Or at least captures the experience.
Blood of Eden
I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
The heated and the holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure, with everything they're buying
In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden
Lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Oh the union of the woman
The woman and the man
My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
...
[Chorus]
At my request you take me in
In that tenderness, I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
A moment of forgetting
A moment of bliss, oh
I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes
[Chorus]
...
So we end as we bagan
With the man in the woman
And the woman in the man
It was all for the union
Oh the union of the woman
The woman and the man
