Women are not passionate enough about sex and concentrate too much on feelings to be able to write raunchy stories, the new owner of Britain's Erotic Review said on Monday.

Be offended later. Laughing too much right now.

(Also. *How* much do I not believe Kate Copstick is her real name? THIS much.)

Uh...huh....

Right.

Maybe she should quit her job, then.

No, it's ok! She's the one woman in the world who does like sex!

Oh, RIGHT, how could I POSSIBLY have missed THAT?

I guess she's not worried about selling her magazine to women. After all, women only want to read about feelings.

(I read a romance novel recently in which the hero was a feline alien whose race was apparently basically built to give incredibly sexual pleasure to human women. The women were kind of a footnote; it actually bugged the shit out of me. But he had, I kid you not, instant-orgasm-semen. He could SPIKE PUNCH with it and have women rolling on the floor. There were many loving descriptions of his alien cock, and use of the word "snard" instead of semen. YEP ALL ABOUT THE FEELINGS. Yeah, there were some of those, mixed in with the wall-to-wall smut and taming of giant killer birds.)

....EEEEEWWWWWW, Mel. WTF imprint was this one under? Do I want to know how the birds were tamed? Did he spike the birdseed?

[holyschist.livejournal.com]

No, he purred at them. Although I guess it wasn't really taming so much as...they didn't actively try to eat him.

IT'S A SERIES:

The one I mostly read was Warrior.

It was definitely a unique read. Did I mention the hero spent several years as a sex slave to unappreciative harem women, prior to developing impotence? They threw him out. He is filled with angst for much of the book. I supposed all the build-up to the sexin' makes it "girly" or something, but it's darned graphic even for a romance novel.

Wait, I lied. I read Outcast. There's also an alien who keeps hitting on every woman in sight who's in an open relationship. His species' sex organ is his FACE and he's always getting off by fondling things with his super-sensitive fingers, often in public.

I'm sort of tempted to read the one with the lizard queen.

See, a lot of that sounds interesting! But then there is THE PUNCH. EW.

It could potentially have been interesting, if she were a better writer. There is endless use of 20th century Earth slang (followed by explanations), and the whole premise for the cat-people is...skeevy. And kind of misogynist, I think.
