Her introduction into the veiled world of a gisaeng's carnal duties.

"Dearie, Dearie! No need for you to avert your gaze," pampered old woman Nari, holding a wooden phallus close to Soo-Ah's face. "We have gone over the basics already, now we need to expand your knowledge." Rolling her eyes the old woman added, "You look like you want to run for the hills.
