Quinn Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

Line 102:
Even though Quinn refuses to be tied down to one guy and is perfectly comfortable flirting with other guys while on dates, Quinn is rather conservative in terms of sex itself. She has on multiple occasions avoided or rejected sexually suggestive activity and the advances of men.
 
Throughout the series, Quinn is frequently the target of solicitation by adults (who know better). In the episode "[[This Year's Model]]", Quinn grows uneasy as [[Claude]] and [[Romonica DeGregory|Romonica]] solicit Quinn's modeling class into doing sexually suggestive activity, such as when Claude instructs the boys to take their shirts off and have the girls rub the boys' chests. Quinn understandably tries to find a way out of the situation by asking if she can go to the bathroom, but when Romonica tries to entrap Quinn by asking her if that's what she's really feeling, Quinn panics and leaves. In the episode "[[I Don't]]", Quinn strikes up a conversation with the minister, who is clearly attempting to solicit her, although Quinn does not realize it. Luckily, [[Garrett]] finds Quinn, realizes what the minister is trying to do, and engages in a fistfight with the latter. When [[Joey]], [[Jeffy]] and [[Jamie White|Jamie]] try to dance with Quinn in the episode "[[Daria Dance Party]]", Quinn rebuffs the three and explains that she does not slow dance until "at least" the fifth date. However, this is usually taken with [[wikipedia:A grain of salt|a grain of salt]] as the [[Three Js]] generally treat Quinn with gentlemen-like respect in their attempts to win her over. When the Morgendorffers are staying at the [[Le Grand Hotel]] in the episode "[[Fire!]]", the bellboy, [[Bobby Stuart]], begins flattering Quinn and offering her gifts, claiming that his uncle owns the hotel. After Bobby offers Quinn the keys to the Presidential Suite free of charge, [[Sandi Griffin|Sandi]] becomes jealous and tries to convince Quinn that Bobby is a stalker. Quinn grows uneasy from Sandi's coercion. In the end, it turns out that Bobby really ''was'' a stalker, just not in the way Quinn expected. The police investigated and informed Quinn that Bobby had no uncle and that he had been charging the Morgendorffers for the suite before deleting the transactions from the computer.
 
When asked whether Quinn was sexually active during the series, [[Glenn Eichler]] replied, "Quinn, no. She was all about attracting guys, not acting on it. Plus Quinn would tend to think of her virginity as currency, a currency she wasn't going to spend until she got a REALLY good exchange rate. (I'm not saying Quinn would maintain this attitude as she matured; this is sophomore-junior Quinn I'm talking about.)" Pertinent comments about the show's creator's views on Quinn and sex appear in two fan-conducted interviews on [[DVDaria]].
