Y’know, just the other day I was lamenting my lack of gettin’ sum, but I do believe this post has cured me of ever wanting sex again.

Please! I’m trying to drink coffee. On the edge of a precipice where ocean currents drag me down to a forest glade where water drips from moss to a stone that presses against a yielding soft warm place that feels like home.

Though I did enjoy Mr. Penis.

Say what you like about the English (Lit Review is most definitely English) they do get a better class of contestant. Do the same thing here and it’s all John Grisham and Stephen King.

Were I to organize such a prize I’d go for Most Alarming Sex; ie. sex that frightens the horses. While England Sleeps by David Leavitt springs to mind, bursting upon one’s consciousness in a way that can’t be denied. It’s also a smashing novel, kind of the gay Gone With The Wind but the hero does like to hammer his BF up against the nearest wall as often as possible with a great deal of splayed hands and imperious erections involved.
