I found this author’s subject matter and his analysis fascinating. Sex is an interesting topic but is not one I care to read about when a writer is not coming from a place of self love. There’s too much to be “worked out” psychologically when one is abused young in life and so the relationships tend to further the punishment and shame. I find that difficult to endure as a reader - no matter how well constructed and poetic the writer is.
His only demand was to be fucked bare,” we are told about a sexual partner the narrator hooks up with through an Internet chat room, and for the narrator, you could say, this book is the literary equivalent of just that.
Whoa. This is ten times better than the other sex article I just posted. This one’s the real winner.
I read his last two books. The last one has a domination scene that is quite realistic, I would say ;-)

Beautiful review of Greenwell fiction books
