Sex in literature! |"Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation, the other eight are irrelevant"|
Henri Valentajn Miler (1891-1980), an American writer whose works were regarded as the height of decadence and promiscuity, breaking down social taboos and horrifying puritanical America, said, "Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation, the other eight are irrelevant."
"The sex scene doesn't necessarily describe truly good sex, but it's always an example of good writing," American novelist Elizabeth Benedict said. Rowan Somerville, author of "The End of Sleep" and "The Shape of Her", agreed with her. When it comes to literature that best describes sexual scenes, Samervil believes Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita" is at the top of the list. Despite the fact that Samervil recounts Humbert Humberto's forbidden love for the small-fly stepdaughter, he sees it as a story of explosive passion in which sensuality, sarcasm, and irony are perfectly matched and evoked without a single flaw.
He includes framed French rebel Michel Uelbeck's "Platform" in his list of authors who know how to convey love and passion. Despite the fact that he admits that Uelbeck's work did not help him. His description of frigid and mechanical intimate intercourse is regarded as more than a bit twisted. We simply can not skip Bram Stoker's "Dracula," Lady Chatterley's "Lover" D.H. Lawrence and Angela Carter's "Bloody Chamber."
Critic Niamh Campbell writes that it's tough to identify impressive erotic literature nowadays since it can very frequently be "miserable and disgusting in accordance with the "capitalist world of apps and cities." - When written effectively, the sex scene will not only disturb the reader, but it will also cause dizziness and desire. The critic continued to add that it will cause real desire, which isn't "even particularly verbal. She describes it as touching a wound. Niamh Campbell said it's a distressing, immediate discovery of pain. - A delicious darkness is shown in all of the best sensual writings. Not regular misogyny's darkness, but foolish joy or amazing sensitivity. To explain, the protagonist Michel Uelbeck's foolish pleasure in seeing nymph-like teens swim around in the shower "like otters" while tenderness - two males in Kate O'Brien's story - is why the entire book is banned in Ireland. “As a teenager, I read Arthur Rambo's letter to Paul Verlan after he left him: "I promise," he says, "I'll be good." Although Verlen later shot Rambo in the arm and was arrested, this is still one of the saddest, sexiest erotic love screams I've ever read, as well as all of Rambo's "Season in Hell," said Campbell. Campbell singled out the top 10 best descriptions of sex in literature:
1. Hood, Emme Donoghue
2.The Pearl Fishers, Colm Tóibín
3. Cleanness, Garth Greenwell
4. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
5. Wetlands by Charlotte Roche
6. Dead Dog by Philip O'Kelly
