Call me crass (go ahead!) but it sounds as if Christine found someone competent in bed, and finally had her first orgasm.
From today's perspective it may sound ridiculous: a member of a touring rock band who lacked that kind of experience?? But in the mid-'70s many women were discovering the same thing. Books were written on the subject, and magazines such as Cosmopolitan often seemed to be concerned with little else.
Why? Increasing recognition of a simple fact: vanilla, missionary-position lovemaking left many women unsatisfied. (While their husbands nodded off, afterward...)
I concede my interpretation is influenced by having briefly attained something akin to satori, not long ago. I'd felt a deep sense of the interconnected energy flowing through all things. No, I wasn't tripping.
To a friend--whose visionary guidance, subtly and over a long period of time, had shown me what was possible--I described the experience as "losing my spiritual virginity."
Although the mystical awakening was brief--lasting no more than five minutes--for the next week or two I was walking on air, feeling profoundly changed.
You can imagine, then, how these lines were relevant:
Can it be so?
This feeling follows me wherever I go.
I never did believe in miracles,
But I've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I'm beginning to wonder why.

Your comment makes me laugh. I don't think it's crass at all; I just think it's amusing that you went into so much detail.
