On their first day of living together, the two young lovers hate each other's sex. The narrator tries to cheer them up by reminding them that they can't wait to "finish him off" before someone sees them. He tells them to "swallow shlick" , which is a sexual slang term for "squish" . He also tells them not to expect him to "hold back" when they're "making a face" like the one he's just shown them.
