I am taking a brillo pad to my eyeballs in an attempt to undo all the psychic damage resulting from reading such unadulterated filth. I never thought an organ of the Post's calibre would stoop to featuring practices like bundling. Decadence, decadence!!!

Decadence indeed! smiley - laugh

But I can't help wondering whether we might see a swing back, from the explicit to a hinted-at, understated treatment of sex. Partly due to the influence of Islamic and other more conservative groups in our society, partly because readers might, just possibly, get bored with explicit sex scenes. Or am I being naive smiley - blush?

Maybe the canny writer will be looking for the next trend. Any ideas smiley - eureka?
