I'm reading a Pete Dexter novel, BROTHERLY LOVE, and its full of underage sex. I thought I'd die after I came upon scene after scene of out of control teenage hormones! First it was the 15 year old boy and the older woman wearing a house-coat and bunny slippers! Then a girl named Maureen does 3 boys to get on American Bandstand....apparently a panel of teens auditioned the kids who danced on the show. It was all down-hill from there.

I cant believe a major NYC publisher printed this trash.
 
At first I wasn't quite sure how to respond to this, because I couldn't tell if you're criticizing the author and the publisher, or complimenting them. But then I realized: you read the first sex scene, and kept on reading; you read the second sex scene, and kept on reading; and presumably, the third, fourth, etc as well. So I guess that the last line of your post was, in fact, meant as a compliment.

Long live freedom of the press.
 
Any port in a storm! I mean, you know Mike & Carol Brady wont let shit like THAT on LIT! You gotta get it from the public library!
And you can, you lucky boy! :)

Not only that, you can start your very own porn site, just for underage sex! Jeepers, isn't the internet the coolest thing!

Maybe you need to read some laws that can shut a site down in a heartbeat. M & L don't need or want that kind of trouble. They are smart that way. The library isn't scrutinized the way the internet is.

Oh I'm a born again true-believer; dont want none of that mainstream, real-life trash corrupting my eyeballs. Amen hallelujah!

What will you and Sister Omega wager that the book is at most public school libraries?

What say we all march in front of Harper & Row?

You seem to be mistaking me for someone else. I don't have a problem with teenaged sex in fiction. I write it myself. Sex and teens go together like a horse and carriage.

I have problems with pedophilia written for titillation, and I have problems with lousy writers that expect me to edit their un-spellchecked files, and can't be persuaded to clean up their own most egregious errors on their own...

And does anyone really enjoy washing dishes? On cold days, the hot water feels good. And on hot days, I wash them in cool water as much as I can. But damn. The same dishes, over and over again!:D

What say, you're an idiot and leave it at that. Go take the meds and it will all be fine. :rolleyes:
