Do you have to create this artificially saturated space in order to deal with sexuality, or can you deal with it in the real world? Can you come out and simply say, "I have a difficult question to ask you: I'd really like to take you back and tie you up and leave small red marks just between your third and fourth vertebrae," and not to be absolutely crushed if you get the somewhat common negative response?

Was just thinking that it's time to re-read Delany, with my new slashy perspective. I've been collecting his stuff (my favorite has always been "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones").
