Why does Esther feel such a need to sleep with Irwin?  Does she feel better or different after it has happened?

 Esther feels the need to sleep with Irwin because throughout this whole book she has been feening for sex. She wants to have “sexperience” because she has been through situations where sex was involved before and she couldn’t or didn’t want to do it then. Irwin was also a decent man who was well educated. Apparently he was equipped also because Esther was complaining that it hurt a lot, and after she couldn’t stop bleeding because of a hemorrhage. She feels somewhat better that she finally had sex, but has to go to the hospital again right after because of the bleeding.
