    it’s the same annoying parts i found with Niven’s Rimworld series and some later Man/Kzin stuff. Just wonton descriptions of inter species hanky panky.

    Clearly these guys just write to get hard; like in King’s book, the scene is irrelevant.

      The book explores a lot of discomforting topics. It seems like he was testing his readers limits for discomfort, which is what he’s said about the scene.
