    I haven’t read a lot of King, but something that’s always stood out to me is the way he writes about sex. I get the impression that he understands what happens, but has absolutely no idea why it happens. like an alien that watched a bunch of earth porn but still has no grasp of human sexual psychology or the sensation of pleasure

      To me it’s always kinda felt like those scenes are written while approaching a climax. Like he was jerking off while he wrote it. The kind of shit that you look at with post-nut clarity and feel disgusted in yourself.

      Human + Human + Cocaine = they do the sex.

      This is approximately correct, yes?

      The cocaine is… aphrodisiac?

      Sacred part of mating ritual?
