Sex

[Einsty]

That's it. I am officially a prude. I can't bear sex scenes in books - not after The Slap, anyway. And I have just had to return another Australian book, Praise, to the library on account of all the rancid poking

[KurriKurri]

The sex in the Slap is very offputting, terribly badly written.

Its all girth and thick members. Yuk.

[cyb]

yes SLAP was horrendous, def written from a mans perspective

vicious and horrible as I recall

I got rid of that book, didint finish it

BUT I did learn an awful lot from sex scenes in Lace and Princess Daisy as a teenager!

[Einsty]

On Chesil Beach was acceptable, I thought. THAT'S how spinster-aunty I have become...

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

cyb I read some Molly Parkin when I was a teenager, think I learnt more from those novels than I'll ever need

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

It's not that I can't bear sex scenes. I can't bear badly-written sex scenes, which most of them are.
