Think of books by Colleen Hoover or popular Netflix adaptations. The problem isn't that this never happens; it is that it creates a pressure-cooker expectation. If your first time isn't cinematic, if you don't cry happy tears, or if it actually feels a bit boring or confusing, the storyline implies that you did something wrong.
