Whew! Bloody hell, now that's "transgressive literature", hard to even tell if it's supposed to be entertaining, which is a true joy for me, there's something astoundingly odd about the feelings of sneery disgust that pour out of this little thing; mostly directed at the sexual act, so there's a tonne of potty humour in it. I say that because I found many sections of it quite funny, just because of how intense it all was.

Certaintly wouldn't recommend this to most people though, and don't read it on public transport in case someone looks over your shoulder.

I don't know what the heck I just read and I don't want to think about it ever.

Highly erotic at first, after several chapters it became merely tiresome until, finally, it was too gross even for me.
