We would just as soon never hear the phrase “Cherry Crush” again

It won’t quite make up for the social security death-gap, but knowing that Tom Wolfe AND Zane can get smacked down for narsty sex-chatter means at least the wet part of Martin Luther King’s dream endures:
Zane’s popularity rests in her total lack of taint. People want to read about sex almost as much as they want to watch it and have it, and if they can do so without appearing to be reading something smutty, all the better. I understand that maybe critics and readers were looking for an alternative to “glistening, blooming flowers” and “pulsating members,” but Zane’s novel is crude and unimaginative writing masquerading as urban erotica. There has to be better smut out there.

Is “lack of taint” a medical condition?

If it is, they probably have a support group. I’d like to sit in one of their meetings — they’d probably have some interesting chairs.

That reminds me — do Sexaholics Anonymous meetings really properly exist any more, or are they generally accepted to be a place to pick up easy chicks?
