Um, Meyer's abstinence metaphor gets pretty creepy if you take it too literally. Er, she's talking about his teeth! Yes. Totally teeth.

There was a guy in my second fiction workshop with Brkic who turned in a story about some woman's cabbage patch (by which I mean ladyparts) randomly becoming a venus flytrap-like thing and killing the main character through the sex they were having at that moment. (At least, I think I remember it killing him. Possibly it just turned him into a eunuch.)

It made us all exactly as uncomfortable as it sounds like it would.

I was in that class, I think, but for some reason I'm not remembering that one. Mental block perhaps?

Perhaps? I have vague memories of there being vine tattoos leading up to the, er, part in question. Possibly there was a comparison to the ultraviolet markings on flowers that bees follow. I know you were in that class, but yeah, good idea to block it out.

Cabbage Patch dolls: RUINED FOREVER??

BWAHAHAHHA! Sad thing is... there's a whole trope for that! What is *wrong* with the world?!

(Our class had a story detailing the sex life of a lust-ridden family dog. But at least it was a comedy.)

Someone else has probably already said this, but you are way too femenist/modern for this novel.

Heh, that may have been mentioned, yes...

If only the rest of the world had a similar problem...
