Like, they just seemed so at the time.

I think that about some shows.

Although, you know, I've gone back and rewatched, like, sex scenes from Sex and the City.

I thought, like, there's an episode where Samantha loses her orgasm because her friend has lost her mother and she couldn't kind of reconcile her friend's grief.

And so she like has sex in all these different ways to try and get to the bottom of where her orgasm is.

I mean, I think it's just so easy to get sucked into this world.

And I don't know if you got around to reading the books, but the books are very, very smutty.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah.

You're like, I'm going to be reading that.

Yeah, once they get to the cottage on the show, there are like six 15-page sex scenes that happen in that setting alone.

What?

That is a huge part of the book.

And so when I saw the show, I was like, oh my gosh, this is actually quite tame compared to what was in the book.

And I opened my piece in the cut, writing about this thing that kept coming up

in the book, this hyper fixation around the slit.

And I don't know if you can put two and two together when I say that, but like the slit is mentioned one too many times in this book to the point where I texted my friend and I was like, is this a real thing?

Like, am I missing out on some part of the gay experience by not having focused on the slit?

My friend and I sort of concluded it may have been because a woman was writing this material perhaps.

I think it's just a nice break from what we're so used to seeing.
