-
They were 11
-
She describes it in way more detail than you’d ever want
-
It was supposed to be them going from innocent kids towards adulthood, so Pennywise would no longer want to eat them.
-
It was written towards the tail end of his over decade long alcohol and cocaine binge

The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood. It’s another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children’s library and the adult library.
-Stephen King
The book even specified that the intent was for them to be together and unified as a group again, like they had to be for the fight. Just because they don’t spell out that their explicit intent was to escape him, doesn’t mean that isn’t the meaning.

Except pennywise eats adults. He just goes primarily after kids because it’s easier to drive them to terror (adult fears are more complex)

Which is exactly why they’re able to remember the way out afterwards, since they took a path that makes it harder to influence them.

It gets worse.
Her dad is implied to want to abuse her, and she feels empowered after unbuckling one of their pants after they don’t want to do it, since she’s doing it “on her terms”. And he literally starts crying afterwards.
Understandably both the miniseries and movies ignore and skip that whole thing.
