This chapter had me gripped. Funny, sad, and sharp in equal measure. The Porno erectus riff was wild. Loved how it turned loneliness into something both deeply personal and oddly universal.
Loved the raw honesty here and how I feel like I'm really in his head. Love how you made his viewing of the hook-up site genuinely interesting and kept the whole chapter coherent around the thing that is driving his actions here: his natural (mammalian/ Darwinian) desire for sex. Really glad I've decided to read this story. The way you described a mundane porn scene conveyed the impersonal nature of the situation and contrasts it (the unsaid between the lines) with true intimacy. Well done!
Amanda! I’m touched by this response. There’s a lot of uncomfortable stuff in this book, and this is just the beginning. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

This is so validating, thank you!

My pleasure. Thanks for writing it and daring to share it in such an open space. :-) I'm planning to keep going with it to the end.
