Dirty, quite. (Sex in Books)

Don't you love the title of this group?

I was just over there...I'm a member.

Thanks! Of course, I just changed it to "Sex Between the Covers"; but it'll be just as filthy as ever - I promise.

A of course I'm in this group as well, because when you've got this many opportunities to discuss the synaptic connection between sensual words and acts, why not take advantage of as many as possible?

I totally agree with you!

Thanks in advance for being as filthy as ever!

Abductee, I just bought a dvd called "Between the Folds" -- maybe you can try dirty origami. Seriously, I had a long bout of one-man sumo (from japanese -- does english have a way to express that?) about whether to use "dirty" in the sub-title of my book "Octopussy, Dry Kidney & Blue Spots." I did after a favorite author, Liza Dalby said, why not? -- so it is sub-titled "dirty themes from 18-19c Japanese poems." It did not turn out to matter much because the book's other title -- i made two as an experiment -- "The Woman Without a Hole" is outselling it ten-to-one.

A quote from page 3 of the same: Sex is something you do with your mind" (sekkusu wa atama de suru mono de gozaimasu) -- Kuroki Kaoru*

Come back after 5 yrs and see I am unfollowed! Well, The Woman Without a Hole I see now has one review somewhere on LT. It is favorable, very favorable except that the reviewer feels the title is too dirty (?) and must be hidden AND best yet I am miss-sexed. I guess the book does hold the whole shebang of premodern Japanese sex but robin d gill is a guy. Ah, and though she loves the translations she thinks it most marvelous I could do them without reading Japanese! (Huh!? Read? Hell, I write books in jpse)
