A Quick Remark

Further to the discussion on sex the other day, piksea remarks in a comment that the sex in Brave New World and The Handmaid's Tale wasn't really about sex, but about portraying some defining characteristic of the society in which it resided. The comment is right on the money.

So, I'll just note that the best sex is allegorical*.

*Still, I'd recommend against shouting out "Oh, baby! It's so allegorical!" when you're in bed with your significant other. It'll probably kill the mood.

You're right, excellent remark.

What I really wanted to do, but was too chicken was to just leave you this:
"Oh, baby! It's so allegorical!"
