I'm not big on graphic sexual description, anyway; this may get me drummed out of the union, but I prefer most erotica to most porn, in the same way I prefer suggestive clothing to pasties and a g-string. Just a personal taste.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I know what you mean. And description of movement(of whatever kind) is kind of a weakness of mine, being that I do everything "special." And while it's no problem to say "Hey, mom, how do you sit when you paint your toenails?" this is kind of a different deal, to put it mildly. Forty years of family therapy, right there...

I just sort of prefer the imagined to the explained or outlined, in general, and that's not even sex-specific.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree...there are some writers that make me reconsider, but not that many.

Part of it may be my own grounding in magic realism and traditional ghost stories, at least as a writer. As a reader, I find "The haunting of Hill House" a hell of a lot scarier than something graphic and gory.

Well, Hitchcock would agree with you. At least about scariness...I don't think I've seen enough to comment on his sexual attitudes.

If his taste in icebox blondes is anything to go by, his sexual attitudes are probably pretty damned idiosyncratic....

Vertigo is a pretty naked expression of his particular fetish. That whole transformation scene is wound so tight with neurotic energy.

Ditto The Birds. He likes breaking down his icebox blondes.
And of course, there's always Psycho.
