Bad Sex

Extracts from some of the books shortlisted for this year’s Bad Sex award:

He’s a madman, she thought as he made love to her again. Oh my God, after twenty years of being the most rational Bolshevik woman in Moscow, this goblin has driven me crazy!

He eased out of her again, showing himself.

‘Look!’ he whispered as she did. Was this really her? There he was between her legs again, doing the most absurd, lovely things to places behind her knees, the muscle at the very top of her thighs, her ears, the middle of her back. But the kissing, just the kissing, was heavenly […] He made her forget she was a Communist.

Because I back up my sarcastic critiques with examples of what I think is good writing, I give you Riding the Super Buick, a chapter from my novel, The Bedroom Revolutionary. There is a sex scene in there somewhere, from what I remember. Enjoy.
