Bad Sex

There's an award for everything, including an annual one for the worst sex scene in fiction. Apparently, there's a lot of bad sex in books. (Which, if you hold with the realist view of fiction, is good: there's a lot of bad sex in real life.) But what can you expect when the novel itself is "a flabby old whore"?

My personal favorite is this charming excerpt: "...not juice at all but a demon eel thrashing in his loins and swimming swiftly up his cock, one whole creature of live slime fighting the stiffness as it rose and bulged at the tip and darted into her mouth." How... disgusting! I'll never look at semen the same way again.
