The Pentecost scene, again..
RouxB:
The movie, while pretty closely following the book, is not the same. Even using just the book, there is nothing to say the singing and the sexing didn't happen on the same night. The description of the singing does not have a time frame attached to it-only that it was an activity that they engaged in and the "but he favored a sad hymn, "Water-Walking Jesus," seems to imply that he sang it more than once.
j.U.d.E.:
I know that Ennis being a virgin or not is hot topic and very much subject for discussion ;D but my point for this thread was rather, that there we have two young hot guys who don't do 'girl talk' at all. Something you would expect them to do. So, somewhere, subtly (is that a word?) they kind of hint to each other, that girls are not important to them. Even if they do it unconsciously, I think one 'gets' the other.. If you know what I mean..

Jude, it's a great observation! I had noticed that Jack doesn't respond when Ennis his marriage plans, but I hadn't thought about how Ennis must have noticed it, too, and registered its meaning at some level. Same with other "girl talk." (In fact, the only time they discuss anything even remotely related to sex, it's about a coyote's testicles!)
This should be cataloged among the subtle signals that the tent scene doesn't just spring out of nowhere.

Ummm, could we have an explanation as to what "girl talk" is in this context? I mean, are we talking REALLY subtle, so that I missed it?

I guess I phrased that a bit confusingly. It's not that they DO engage in girl talk, it's that they DON'T. Actually, it's Jude's observation: he noted that they never talk about girls, as you might expect straight 19-year-old men to do, and he's saying they probably noticed this about each other and got a clue.
