Terry worries about his continued virginity, but will he find romance with an old school acquaintance? A tale of sexual frustration in 1980s England...
Having entered his early twenties, Terry Pickering has become increasingly concerned that he remains a virgin.
The fact that others in his social circle - in particular his best friend John and a younger work colleague, Ralph – enjoy an apparently effortless success with girls only serves to throw this concern into sharper focus.
A chance encounter with Diane, an old school acquaintance, unexpectedly results in a romance of great promise. Following his return from a previously planned holiday in the South-West of England with John, Terry is rewarded with his first complete sexual experience.
Expectations of a long-term relationship are shattered when Diane, with no explanation or warning, ends their relationship. When Terry learns of the reason for this rejection he realises that the relationship had already been doomed once it had been consummated.
Absence Fallacy is a light hearted and witty tale of sexual frustration set in England in the 1980s.
