I'm reading mostly romance novels with a smattering of erotica thrown in, sex scenes are pretty standard fare for my normal reading. Only because I do read so many sex scenes, I can tell you that this is not the worst I've ever seen. However, it is far from good.

This is what happens when writers try to invent words and phases to signify parts of the body and sexual acts. The writing becomes so flowery and extravagant that it makes itself a glowing example of crap. It is referred to as "purple prose".

The writer is full of self importance. Just look at the opening few sentences. "...his bed in that bare, male room which he had never shared with a woman; at once a schoolboy's room and a lonely old man's room, the room left behind him and the room somewhere ahead of him in his life. But the narrow bed was full again, he was full again, and it was all there..." God help the poor soul who had to read a whole book of phrases like this. Let's take a typical scene from Lassie and rewrite it in this fashion. 'Lassie barked, conveying the message of hope. At once the bark told of a well, at once a giver of life water and a trap for the unsteady. The well, which had once been dug by men with dreams, was now full. Full of water, full of despair, and somewhere inside that well was a boy named Timmy.' *gags*

All in all, I give it a 2/10. Mostly the second point is for the creative use of "aureole of mauve-brown skin where the cheeks of the backside divided at the end of her spine". After all, an aureole "is the radiance of luminous cloud which, in paintings of sacred personages, surrounds the whole figure". Best I can figure, the lady needs to do a better job on the personal hygiene. Perhaps a bidet would be of assistance.
