I think this review of the book takes the cake:

The choreography of anal sex though is very limited, with possibly large deviations in time and positioning. The author made it happen 298 times with her illustrious phantom lover. Her keeping of statistics is admirable. The details of each encounter are with a few exceptions, omitted. It is the pain of the entry, the filling of her butt that gave her pleasure. Her excitement was localized in her anus, and not in her entire body. Not so with her former profession. Ballet requires every body part to be in play, and permits no departure from predefined configurations. But for the author, ballet prepared her for sodomy. For her, anal sex recreated the "physical extremism of dancing." To follow the dictates of the choreographer served as preparation, as maybe lubrication for her eventual acceptance of the male tool in her anus. Ballet training requires that one ignore physical discomfort she says. One could say that she believes that it prepares a woman for the lifting of the derriere and the spreading of the legs.

The author's machinations in the book read more like modern dance, rather than ballet. Rebelling against ballet was its goal. Fatigued and irritated by the structure of classical ballet, the choreographers of modern dance negated its demands, and took full advantage of gravity. The writhing and wincing resulting from anal sex, because of its taboo, its rarity, and its ensuing pain, fits the need exactly for the out-of-equilibrium ethos of modern dance. One can defy convention with anal penetration. It is the realm of the daring, of those who with their backs towards the ceiling, turn their back on the past. New experiences though require frequent indulgences. Some call this addiction. Others call it learning. No propagation of the species results from anal copulation. This gives it further justification in the eyes of the sexual rebel. It is always fun to cheat nature.

I cheated Nature yesterday with the old "Heads I win, tails you lose" con.

I processed that review as if it were academic theory. Amazing.

Well, then there's this final paragraph after those two:

For the heterosexual male, this book is to be read in a house with wide corridors. It might be difficult to turn corners after its perusal. The writing is terse but effective. When reading the book, beware of Levis and wear pajamas instead. This reviewer thought of only one thing after finishing the book: how nice it would be hear the thuds of the author's shoes hitting the floor beside his bed.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:24 (twenty years ago)

It's better without the last paragraph. Which means, Ned, you are a fantastic editor of butt sex theory.

Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago)

TS: modern anal sex vs. classical anal sex

Which means, Ned, you are a fantastic editor of butt sex theory.

caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Oh, malarkey!

Huk-L, Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago)

malarkey? or effective way?

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 30 December 2004 16:57 (twenty years ago)

For the heterosexual male, this book is to be read in a house with wide corridors.

A house with narrow corridors, surely? Extremely narrow.

Is he walking sideways?

Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 31 December 2004 22:01 (twenty years ago)

I liked this bit: More than one book critic -- mostly men -- have referred to it as "a masterpiece." Well, knock me down with a feather.

all those ladies that turn it down just don't understand me... i'm a "sexual rebel." or maybe ballet did not sufficiently prepare them.

Can the moderators find and replace every instance of "Classic or Dud" with "Malarkey or Effective way"?
