Throughout "Girlfriends and Boyfriends," the prospect of sex hounds Lindsay. Right from the stellar opening scene, in which she walks through the McKinley halls to the tune of The Allman Brothers Band's "Whipping Post," observing every variety of hormonal teenager you can imagine — the nerds and the jocks and the burnouts, all equal in the eyes of puberty. The desperation is universal, or at least it seems that way when you're surrounded by it.
