The make sex sound pretty unappealing and I LOVE sex. Also, I'm not really interested in any sex that doesn't involve me, so I don't like reading graphic depictions of it.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-2019944244471722082014-11-16T09:02:19.282+00:002014-11-16T09:02:19.282+00:00Funny how nobody has commented on the main point I...Funny how nobody has commented on the main point I was making, that most descriptions of sex in fiction are so laughably inept they might as well be done away with.

As someone says on Feministing, what these men really seem to be looking for is women who are "feminine, aesthetically pleasing and perpetually sexually and emotionally available to the men in their lives."
