I am overwhelmed and amazed by the various intelligent arguments surrounding Sophia's reality status, and how seriously this game is taken. Nothing wrong with that, quite the opposite. It shows once again how L&P has tapped into an area of erotica many recognise as stimulating and made it reachable by way script and imagery. And how it throws opens so many questions and debate.
I'm also highly impressed seeing contributors so resourceful in supplementing their arguments with past data and renders, so quickly and effectively. Also a pity when others revert to defensiveness to protect their ego when realising their rational has been exposed, or they have written something inflammatory, inaccurate or inappropriate. Because it isn't necessary, especially when a sense of camaraderie can exist between contributors on this forum and make it even more creative.
Regards Sophia's "reality status" as a woman with academic achievement, career (presently part-time, even with her qualifications), physical fitness, extraordinary beauty and physique together with family, money, and kids. I come back to my point this is strictly a work of fiction. Few desire, or care about pin-point logical reality regards chronological datelines in a story. Yes it helps authenticate, and it's interesting to speculate and analyse, but for most, frankly not that important except maybe to a statistician or mathematician.
Having said that, exceptional women like Sophia do exist at her age (assuming nearing 40). It's a rare combination of attributes, qualities and advantages, but not totally implausible. To summarise, we specifically admire the fictional character of Sophia directly for being so exceptional, yes, even her attitude toward fidelity. Including strangely, seeing that very sense of fidelity being tested, liberated, and gradually worn down. Sorry but I've never liked the term corrupt, because it implies weakness, and Sophia is far from that.
Regards Sophia's looks, I've been in the company of adult women who have looked at another and observed,
"It's not fair, why is she so slim and pretty? Has a great bust, AND nice legs". As if this combination could never exist. Well, it can.
I've have also known grown women married with kids who are astonishingly naive about sex, how to please their bed-mate, or even familiar with the male anatomy, as surprising as that might sound to some.
While Sophia doesn't fall into that latter category, it does suggest nothing is impossible or implausible regards this story.
