Wolfery

[jere7my]

As a professional pornographer, I resent big-name writers getting away with writing bad sex. That's why I'm pleased to see that Tom Wolfe has won the Bad Sex Award:

Judges poured scorn on a passage that reads: "Slither slither slither slither went the tongue, but the hand that was what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire terrain of her torso to explore and not just the otorhinolaryngological caverns - oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast joins the pectoral sheath of the chest - no, the hand was cupping her entire right - Now! She must say ‘No, Hoyt’ and talk to him like a dog ..."

Slither slither slither. I'm exploring your otorhinolaryngological caverns.

(Thanks, supergee.)
